Mach dir keine Sorge, extremistische Bauern dürfen ja auch eine Ampel an den Galgen hängen ohne das was passiert.

Thanks for the specification. That said, what’s wrong with “some people”? It’s the second comment that jumps on that word as if it diminishes the argument. “Some” is purely a quantifier which I used because clearly not everyone is calling her like that, and this was - in fact - a niche news that a few articles spoke about.

For me a German law about the Holocaust just is more important than what some people say. It’s just so very vague. It reminds me a bit off Trump when he spouts some utter bullshit “some people” have said to him. That of course doesn’t mean that I think you said it in such an intention.

And no, the German law of course only applies to people in Germany. Now what would happen if Rowling would set foot in Germany would be interesting, but I don’t think even then much would happen. Nevertheless I think the German legal view on such speech IMHO is a good indication of it’s intention. After all Germany is one of the few countries who put in a serious effort in critically reflect on a very dark spot in their past. That’s something a lot of other countries could learn quite a bit.

And again, I really don’t think your choice of words were wrong in any way, my comment aimed to further elaborate on the topic and not criticise. I’m sorry if it came over in a different way.

Have Windows users ever wanted a single thing they added since XP?

The new terminal for example is a rather neat improvement over the old command prompt, especially with the integration of Linux systems. Winget also is rather nice. Just two examples. So yeah with all the valid criticism Microsoft deserves for quite a bit of policies, I don’t think your hyperbole holds up.

As long as it’s a easily toogled off as the search bar is, I don’t mind.

Them getting rid of the ability to have different windows of the same kind with full title bar next to each other IMHO is a much bigger pain.

As mentioned, I do not have all the details. I have heard some of her ideas, but I don’t follow her that closely.

Well then maybe, you should look a bit deeper in the topic before you propose that she’s the victim of a witch hunt? I mean it’s really not that hard, all the controversial shit is right there on her own twitter and can easily be found.

It’s fair to feel like this, but she is just one person sharing her ideas. Nobody goes like: “JK is against trans people, so I am too”. At least they shouldn’t and at least we should expect most people don’t. Just let her have her opinions and leave it at that

What? Of course people are constantly influenced by other people’s opinions. That’s how opinions form in the first place. And a world famous author with tons of followers on top of a shit ton of money to throw at groups actively advocating for legal restrictions on transsexual people obviously has a lot more power to influence people’s opinions and shitty laws than you or me in that regard. So no, she’s not just a person sharing her ideas, she’s an incredible influencual one sharing her hate in a time when the transsexual community is under active attack in several modern countries not only resulting in hurt feelings but actual people ending up dead!

And even if we only look at Tolkin’s Elves, who basically are the base of the whole modern conception of them, they certainly aren’t better as a general rule. Some of them are really shitty fucks.

Not only some people. The German law book is very clear about what constitutes holocaust denying and what now. Diminishing parts of the holocausts, such as claiming one group wasn’t targeted or wasn’t targeted as much is holocaust denial under that law.

Fuck that shit. She doesn’t make any such distinction in her hate tirades. It’s very easy to find many tweets and similar quotes of her speaking about transsexual people as a whole. So yeah, she very much has spoken about OP as well. And she’s a freaking author, she doesn’t get any excuses for not knowing how to write more specifically. She knows very well what she says and who it will affect when she generalises all transsexual people. And it for damn sure isn’t some imaginary group or predators willing to go through all the hassle of being trans to prey on women but the trans community as a whole.

How’s telling her that she has shitty opinion a witch hunt, but her using her fame and wealth to spread her shitty opinion way beyond what a normal random person could ever do, isn’t?

And considering that veterans are over represented in the homeless population, they actively hurt those who have served the country instead of helping them. Shameful!

Only one of those countries currently still is a dictatorship.

Eben, der Freistaat schreibt seinen Mitarbeiter jede Menge Dinge vor. Inklusive wie Dokumente auszusehen haben und wie diese geschrieben werden. Das macht auch Sinn, solche Vorschriften gibt es überall. Es ist aber natürlich komplett unehrlich eine Vorschrift, dass genderneutrale Sprache nicht zu benutzen als Freiheit zu verkaufen. Entweder hat man die Freiheit so zu kommunizieren wie man will oder man muss den Vorschriften der Organisation folgen. Nur eines davon ist Freiheit.

Like really…Boeing is that dirty? Surely not?

I mean they were willing to knowingly keep producing unsafe air planes which lead to several crashes killing 100’s. So yeah, I really wouldn’t be surprised if they also do assassination to ensure their profit.

Es war definitiv sehr ähnlich. Aber durch den Kontext bekam der blinde Glaube eine viel dunklere Bedeutung als bei Brian.

And yet they are pretty much non avoidable for certain services. And some of those services are really neat.

My library subscription for example certainly is worth it. So is my public transportation subscription.

Oh well sorry that I took your “subscriptions suck” literally. I guess what that meant to say was “subscriptions with adds before them suck”. My fault for not figuring this out.

So it’s Jewish owned and you automatically assume that this never could have been put up by the owner because he’s Jewish and of course has to support Israel? That’s quite a bigoted conclusion of you.

I got a surprise for you, there’s quite a bit of Jews actively speaking out against Israel current bombings of civilians.

You think schools don’t have councillors?

Oh some do, but it’s certainly something which could use a lot more funds. That would definitely be much better at tackling bullying than school uniforms.

What do you think these “underlying issues” that contribute to inequality are?

I was talking about the “underlying issues” of bullies.

We’re talking about a gaming streaming platform. How do you think that concept could ever work without a subscription?

And frankly, adds for the free users really isn’t that outrageous or surprising either. I’m mostly surprised that this wasn’t the case from the start.

But the inequality isn’t addressed! Parent’s now have to shell out additional money to buy school uniforms and you can bet that kids who spend their free time around other kids still want to have what ever shoe, pants or jersey is in right now. They sure as hell don’t spend their free time in their school uniform! So this does absolutely nothing to address this issue.

And frankly, handling peer pressure is a topic that every parent should properly teach their kids. The solution to this for damn sure isn’t to buy your kid what ever fashion trend is in right this week!
