As a European brought up free from any kind faith or religion, it can sometimes be tough to decide which level of religious extremism is worst, that in the US, Israel or the Iran.
Not only condiment. You can make great dishes using it. Decades ago when I was a poor student, I made a kind of bolognese with it cause I didn't have anything else in my fridge, and it turned out so great that I still sometimes make that to this day.
I constantly tell people the remedy of the dangers of dual booting, using a separate drive for Linux. They sometimes listen and then have a dual boot system that doesn't break.
I've started working in IT over 20 years ago. In my humble opinion, one of the keys is being specialized on something that not everyone else can do. Become proficient in a certain area - devops, quality assurance, security, whatever.
On top of that, try and acquire a niche skill that makes you the type of employee that's hard to find and replace. For example, banks are really desperate to find Cobol experts because most of those are pensioners now.
I know it's tough, and I wish you had it as easy as I did back in the days, but it's all I can tell you, unfortunately.
Muss toll sein, wenn man Christ ist. Man kann alle möglichen Sünden begehen, weil wir ja ohnehin alle Sünder sind, am Ende muss man nur bereuen und einem wird alles vergeben.
Gutes tut man sowieso nicht aus sich selbst heraus, sondern aus Angst vor göttlicher Ungnade, von der man weiß - siehe oben - dass sie ebenfalls nur temporär ist.
Und dann kann man obendrein behaupten, dass Menschen ohne die Religion keine Moral hätten.
"for monolingual speakers of english, it’s hard to learn a language with grammatical genders, but if you already speak a language with those, that won’t be a problem"
Not necessarily. I'm German and I still have to learn French grammatical genders by heart, because they don't necessarily match ours. Familiarity with the concept doesn't make it any easier, just less weird.
Example: The tower. LA tour, feminine. DER Turm, masculine.
No need for capitalization even to fuck with people, wrong emphasis is enough:
Da steht eine Frau auf der Straße. Ich werde sie umfahren.
(To my non German speaking friends, this can mean two things depending on how you pronounce "umfahren":
Either "There's a woman on the street. I will drive around her." or "There's a woman on the street. I will run her over.")
A large majority of Germans want tighter controls on arms exports to any country. Germany has been one of the world's biggest arms exporters for a long time despite its population opposing it. Politicians don't care as long as economy go brrrr.
Well, for me it really is the overwhelming desire of being found physically attractive by someone. Anyone. So relationships or one night stands, doesn't really matter.
It's literally an insane thought to me that even average looking girls don't have a hard time attracting members of the opposite sex. But for me, any time I approached a girl, I got hit hard by rejection and humiliation. And now that I'm older, most women are married or in long-term relationships anyway, so things have become even more impossible.
It's become so ridiculous that the mere thought of being found desirable in and of itself is a sexual turn on for me - so I find myself imagining to be the woman when watching porn, even though I'm not attracted to men at all.
