Can somebody "translate" or rephrase the headline for me? I kinda have troubles sometimes reading headlines in English, they just don't make any sense to me. When comparing German headlines (my native tongue), I guess the reason for that is heavy usage of ellipses(?)

I think he was being sarcastic, playing with words. Meaning, that you trade in time, runtime and memory and get nothing in return :D so a pretty bad trade haha.

Of course it's worse, I mean, that was the point of this blogpost, wasn't it? :p It's just a (long) joke.

It's the default in Germany I think. At least it used to be, knew no one who had something different as a child. Just a bit less convenient to store as they're a bit bigger.

Wow that sounds amazing, thank you for the advice! 😀 Will ask around in a nearby school soon. Would duckduckgo also work for the "google" part?

Edit: linking your sources instead of claiming "a basic google search proves me right" should be a given.

Essentially because after they did something bad it's likely too late. But others can explain this in more detail with more knowledge than I have.

This is a great example to explain it to people who are familiar with the topic. But if I tell that to a "random" friend, word for word, they won't know what I'm talking about :D

"If we adopted universal health care tomorrow without consideration of the issues, the worldwide economy would take a massive hit"

I think that's a lie certain people are spreading who fear change to make other people fear change too.

Someone should make a post about why blocking Threads is good and why it's not to be confused with gate keeping. If not properly communicated, this could look very badly for the uninitiated and they're not to blame.

Some people of course have an educated opinion against blocking, but many presumably don't know the reasons behind it.

Where do you live? I'm asking because my experience couldn't be more different and I'm in Germany.

I'm also a man, went to therapy and my therapist was just fantastic! She could relate to me, gave excellent advice etc., really changed my life for the better.

PS: of course I didn't have go anything or so, just if I'd miss a session ^^ (in theory, but even 30m late to a 50m session was still fine hehe)
