The thing you're missing here is that a lot of people are not capable of reading the animals' body language. Hence, permit. Also the part where just taking some wild animal home as a pet isn't ok, and to actually care for one you would usually require some pretty specialized knowledge.

I also fully agree that dogs above a certain size should require permits because holy fuck I know most of them are pretty chill and at most kinda loud but they still scare the hell out of me and I can't trust their owners to control them in all cases. And while knowledge of how to handle them is more common, some people still fuck that up..

Really depends on what part of it. There are things like offering your bus seat to someone who needs it, or waiting for people to exit before you enter. Those indeed make sense.

And then there's what the other commenters pointed out, arbitrary rules about what cutlery to use and in which hand and such.

They have to shut off if there's too much power in the grid, it might be that

Your entire paragraph about how any man could be a rapist also applies to women. Just seemingly at a higher probability (given the effects of testosterone I've heard from transmen, I'd be more surprised if it wasn't skewed tbh, even if sexual assault by women is probably even more underreported than sexual assault by men).

The relevant question regarding danger here isn't how many % of rapists are men, it's how many % of men are rapists. And if we're overanalyzing the bear thing, what percentage of bear encounters lead to death. Assuming one sees both bad outcomes as equal, it seems valid to consider one worse than the other.

In any case, the bear answer comes from a real fear that shouldn't be dismissed and that alone indicates a problem, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily the rational answer. And regardless it should be extremely obvious why the answer is very offensive to all men that would never sexually assault someone. I don't think either side is in the wrong here, but both sides are obviously going to be emotionally charged from the getgo, because it sucks to be discriminated against, and it also sucks to frequently feel in danger (...as a result of being discriminated against)

Eh, I've only watched the first one but I think on its own, ignoring the book it's based on, it wasn't that bad. It (and the sequels) are just hated because of how utterly and thoroughly they shit on the books.

Given that the original justification behind he feature was returning the ability to share a game within a household that was lost (or at least made much more inconvenient) with the move to digital only, I see no issue with this. If someone is exploiting that system (not judging, I do/did too, because why not), or even has actual family in another country, then unlucky they now have to let the other party actually use their account if they want them to be able play your games. Anyone in the actual situation the feature was meant for should be unaffected aside from some edge cases like holidays.

A big factor is probably that the AfD has an actual large tiktok presence, and if that's where all the zoomers are, many are bound to fall into that echo chamber. It's the same thing people see in assholes like Andrew Tate.

I saw some AfD tiktok clip that literally said "Echte Männer sind rechts. Echte Männer wählen AfD." Felt like it should've been a parody. But apparently that's effective.

I really do think that actually making organic seeming tiktok content (as opposed to obviously awkward content where the politician barely gets whats going on) would help against the radicalization of the youth.

Ethnicity has no consistent definition, and the everyday use of racism can absolutely describe discrimination of a specific nationality. It's also just arguing pointless semantics regardless, especially when the original complaint is about russians not being a "race" which is an utterly made up term that means whatever racists want it to.

What the fuck

I... actually don't think I've ever met someone that smelled like literal shit. Some homeless people that smell like piss, sure, but that has other reasons.

I almost feel sorry for these people, surely this idea of not wiping has to come from somewhere and it's not something they came up with.

But you can truly own steam games. It's up to the developer whether to enable DRM. You can distribute a game through steam and it can still be launchable without steam running. Which means you can also save it to whatever backup medium you like.
