Thank you for your thorough explanation.

It’s always a bit confusing when your language has one word for something another language makes distinctions within.

As a non native English speaker, where does toxic fit into the poisonous/venevenomous question?

Now I wonder how this graph would look like for Stephen Kings “The Stand” during the pandemic.

Did people want to read a book about a flu-like pandemic wiping out humanity or rather not?

If the tower falls you loose.

Cool. I didn’t know we had a national flower.

But there are a lot of flowers in Europe, why are so many repeating? Is it really your national flower if 5 other countries have the same?

This reminds me of nurses fixing everything with leukosilk

Oh… wow…ehm…how do I unsee this article?

Thats the “you have to know where to look” part.

Honestly, that sounds insane. And incompetent.
Whoever made this a requirement did not have in mind to give you a good and useful education.

We had the periodic table in huge letters on the wall of our chemistry classroom. Wouldbe difficult to not allow students to use it during tests.

One of my nursing school teachers used to say “You don’t have to know everything, you just have to know where to look it up.” I always thought that’s very good and practical advice.

No. Read the article instead just spewing opinions and conspiracy theories.

It’s about national debt and changing the financing of aid to Ukraine.

Nothing is halted. Future aid will not be financed by the federal budget, but from proceeds of seized russian assets.

I find these headlines all misleading.

Germany discusses for weeks now the next year’s federal budget and the ruling parties are at odds about spending and accumulation of new debts. And they agreed now, that future Ukraine aid will not come out of the federal budget.

All already approved aid to Ukraine will still be delivered. Nothing is “halted”.

All new aid, to be approved for the next fiscal year will not come from the federal budget but will be financed with seized Russian assets.

So, Germany doesn’t stop Ukraine aid at all. They just have to finance it differently in the next year.

Whereas there are a multitude of reliable sources citing Israelis forces torturing and raping Palestinian prisoners until death. Not isolated incidents, but a multitude of seperate situations.

Last week my phone showed me the happy memory of my grandmas grave. Yeah, thanks. How do I turn this off?

Oh no! It seems like he couldn’t answer this question truthfully with his wife present. Now, a secret family isn’t so secret anymore if you tell your wife about it, is it?!

All people have both testosterone, the male “sex hormone” and estrogen, the female "sex hormone. They just produce it different quantities. Both are needed for all people.

There are a lot of very normal and quite frequent medical reasons why a person’s hormone levels can be mixed up and for a woman (afab) to have a high testosterone level or for a man (amab) a high estrogen level.

Women (XX) produce testosterone in mostly their ovaries and adrenal glands.

Men (XY) synthesize estrogen in the Leydig cells and the germ cells in their testis.

This is the third story like this, wrongly convicted felon who didn’t get released as their conviction was overturnt I saw in the last few weeks. And surprise! All 3 were black people. (2 black man, one black woman).

products must last for as long as a reasonable consumer would expect them to last (for example, 10 years for a large appliance like a fridge),

I never heard about anything like this in the EU. If my fridge or washing machine breaks after 2 years and 1 week I have no legal claim towards the manufacturer.

Actually most big electronic retailers try to sell you additional warranty with the product you buy. So you pay extra to extend warranty to 5 years.

I like the Australian aproach better, though.

This is what her hot air balloon of a excuse for a farher said, not the article. Be angry and speak out against Elon Musks bigotry. Not about what you “think” an article you actually didn’t read might have said because of your interpretation of a headline.

We all should know by now that this click bait shit is all hot air most of the time, so why play into it?

I feel like a lot of people here still have to learn how to deal with todays sensationalist internet media. Don’t believe everything you (didn’t) read at first glance.

If you consume todays “news” only by headlines, without looking behind it and using your own common sense and critical thinking, you are bound to come out with a very distorted world view.
