What's the thing you're most hypocritical about?
I work with people and I always try to help them be gentle with themselves. I'm incredibly bad at that ... Baby steps are my endgame.

How is love even possible under traditional gender roles if men aren't allowed to be vulnerable?
My experience as a young woman was, that young men learned to be a different person, when not in front of their peers.
This was pretty universal where I grew up. I was surprised how men from (some, not all) other cultures were so comfortable showing each other that they cared about each other. That didn't necessarily make them better allies to women, but sometimes it did.
None of this is good.
I'm a big fan of showing vulnerability, but it really is a journey to do this not just in relationships or with friends but go beyond that.
Good job on noticing that things can be better. Let's make them so.

DGB-Ausbildungsreport: Jeder zweite Azubi ist psychisch belastet
Man sollte meinen, wenn wir wirklich Fachkräfte bräuchten, wäre es einfacher den Weg frei zu machen für Leute, die nicht bei Mami und Papi wohnen können. Das Unternehmen da nicht mehr investieren halte ich für wirklich kurzsichtig.

What mistakes did your parents make while raising you that you will be careful to avoid in your own parenting?
If I had kids, I would take them seriously. Just because they're kids doesn't mean they don't know how they feel or what they need.

Angleichung der GKV- Beitragsbemessungsgrenze
Ich bin freiwillig in der GKV, weil ich gesehen habe, wie Leute sich verrenken, um vor dem Ruhestand noch schnell wieder in die GK zu wechseln. Das kann aus meiner Sicht nicht sein und ist das, was unser System überfordert. Eine Versicherung für alle, vielleicht mit optionalem Zusatz (Chefarzt, Einzelzimmer, Zahnzusatz, Brillen, ... ) wäre insgesamt funktionaler und günstiger, ohne dabei diese irre 2-Klassen-Medizin zu erzeugen, wie sie aktuell besteht (Hautarzttermine, super Sache in der GKV).
Eine Angleichung der Beitragsbemessungsgrenze ist ein Schritt, wenn auch nur ein kleiner.

No, we do actually appreciate when people speak good German, we just know it's an absolute pain and want to be nice.

Ja, das ist immer doof. Je jünger man ist, desto schwieriger ist das für beide Partner und daher kommt auch diese Idee, dass man sowas vielleicht besser lässt.
Aber man kann's auch trotzdem machen und danke einfach glücklich sein. Einfach ist hier sehr relativ, weil Lebenserfahrung auch Erfahrung im Streiten ist und es manchmal (und ich spreche aus Erfahrung) echt schwer ist, jemanden seine eigenen Fehler machen zu lassen.
Ohne jede Menge gegenseitigen Respekt, viel Geduld und vor allen Dingen die Fähigkeit los zu lassen, wird das schwierig. Und mit 20 machst du halt Fehler und sagst blöde Dinge, die mit 33 sofort auffallen. "Das wächst sich aus" ist nicht gerade die ideale Basis für Beziehungen.
Ich schreibe das nicht, um dir da reinzureden, sondern weil ich inzwischen an einem Punkt bin, wo es bei uns klappt mit etwa 10 Jahren dazwischen. Viel Glück!

Tesla verteidigt Hausbesuche bei Krankmeldung
Reply in thread
Da gibt's ja aber einen Grund für.
Anekdote/Eigenerfahrung: Wenn ich den Eindruck hatte, vom Arbeitgeber ungerecht behandelt zu werden, dann war ich weniger engagiert, weniger zuverlässig und öfter krank. Das natürlich auch zu mir bequemen Zeiten, allerdings bin ich eher Montags als Freitags krank.
Natürlich ist "Wie du mir, so ich dir" immer kacke. Trotzdem ist es eine naheliegende Reaktion, wenn man sich nicht so einfach wegbewerben kann. Die Mitarbeiter besser zu behandeln ist da vielleicht tatsächlich ein Weg zu niedrigeren Krankenständen.

C24 Girokonto - wer hat Erfahrung?
Ich sehe jetzt erstmal nichts, was massiv dagegen spricht. Der Dispo ist bei 11,49% aber wenn du nicht vor hast, den länger zu nutzen, dann ist das jetzt keine Katastrophe. MasterCard, nicht Visa, na gut, aber das fühlt sich jetzt für mich auch nicht extrem problematisch an.
Vor einer Körperöffnung wollte ich fragen, ob es hier Erfahrungen oder Interesse am Meinungsaustausch gibt?
Preislos.

If you could "skill trade", what would you trade?
Trading my "people always want to tell me what went wrong in their life"-superpower for excellent executive function. Pretty please.

What’s it like to have a high IQ?
It vastly depends on everything else.
You can be a dude with a normal life, who just makes conclusions faster and you've learned that everyone likes how smart you are and you enjoy this.
You can be a restless mess, because you've known all your life that there's nothing to compete with and it's difficult enough to find someone to even have a somewhat decent conversation on your level with. These people come with or without the arrogance you're thinking of right now. Some are just genuinely kind and thoughtful, but always a step ahead without even really appreciating their ability much.
You can be an absolute underachiever, because being smart was never rewarded in your life. Maybe you even learned that "You're not special" so much so, that you punished others for not being able to draw the same conclusions as you in the same time, because you always thought they were just being lazy on purpose.
You can be entirely unaware and may say funny things like "I don't think we're all that many really smart people in $techplacewithclearlysmartpeople. I talked to most of them and I don't struggle at all".
Source: High IQ myself, working with other people who increasingly talk to me openly about this and their overall situation. So much of who we become is about what our parents do to us and if there's understanding and love and support on that end.
Obviously there's the whole spectrum thing as well. I don't think a higher IQ means "more autism", as someone suggested. I think it increases your chances of struggling with a regular (neurotypical) kind of life, for example because you are supposed to be interested in 1 subject (to make a career), but - similar to people with ADHD - may care for all the subjects.
If you think about what is neurotypical though, you can classify people with a particularly high IQ or people with particularly high sensitivity as neurodiverse in just the same way you do that for people with Autism or ADHD. Now if you think about humanity as a whole, we may all to some degree be diverging from the norm in any or all of these ways, but still be more or less free of struggle, because it's not by much, while for the more extreme cases, they stand out for better or worse.

Hmm vielleicht bin das nur ich, aber da ich immer auch mindestens einen Freund hatte, der gern mal Röcke trug, war das für mich nie ein Thema. Wenn du dir das Teil über den Arm hängst, muss es schon ziemlich girly Farben haben, damit es als Frauending auffällt.
Aber jetzt mal ganz doof: Scheiß drauf, du stehst da mit den Klamotten, die dir gefallen! Meine Mutter musste noch um ihre Jeans kämpfen und ich erinnere mich an Jobs, die ohne Heels als Frau nicht gingen. Du bist mit deinem Rock Teil der allerbesten Tradition!

EU irl
Reply in thread
It looks to me like they're trying to make the best out of a bad situation. There's more tariff now on EU goods, but it may keep the US involved in Ukraine while the concessions made on the EU side aren't massive in the grand scheme of things.
At the same time this deal says to everyone who's looking "We try, despite our differences", which makes it rather difficult to paint the EU as the bad guy if he reconsiders.
At the end of the day what the EU wants to be internationally is a reliable partner. That's what trust is built on.

Be open and curious, don't make stuff complicated, even if it seems to be complicated to you. Take challenges step by step. Don't treat people differently for who they are. Show them vulnerability and how to come back from being hurt.
You always teach by example so if you can show them an open mind, they will learn that the world doesn't generally harm you.
It's true that life sometimes will, but the only way to live life to its fullest also includes getting hurt and being sad and finding the trust to get back out there anyway to do that thing you need to do.

What a splendid pi, pizza-pizza pi
I never understood the chives in that "recipe".
Do they add anything?

Quit school (college level, but where I am it's just another part of school) when I could (I had the right age to make it my business), without ever discussing the matter. Just came home and said I quit school.
Edit: Oh damn you wanted a reason. School was hell for me, I hated everything about it. I had spent about 6 months exclusively doing the classes I was interested in and nobody even took notice. I figured they weren't gonna kick me out at that point, so I quit.
