So genau hab ich mir das nicht überlegt, wollte nur mal ein langes Wort schreiben. Gibt mehrere Möglichkeiten.

Z.B. gegenüber von dem Ding eine runtergeklappte Arbeitsplatte die man hochklappen kann und mit dem abgebildeten Ding dann verriegeln. Kann man sicherlich auch in filigranerer Ausführung bauen aber dann würde es nicht 500 Jahre halten.

Here’s the ZDF documentary, German only, German subtitles available.

Here’s an interview with the makers, also German but as it’s on youtube you might have some success with auto-translated subtitles.

variety

Language! High German may have an army but we have the fleet.

More seriously if you class Low Saxon as a non-standard variety of Standard German and then have a look at the family tree you’d have, for the sake of consistency, call English a German variety. Sure they’re all West Germanic languages but we need taxa for the taxonomy god: Low Saxon is more closely related to the Anglo-Frisian languages than to the Allemannic/Bavarian line, which is where Standard German stems from.

None of those are fast fashion. Hanes and Gildan make underwear, t-shirts, maybe the odd hoodie. Boring and casual (both in a good way), most of all comfortable. Under Armour is similar but for sports.

I don’t know whether you’ve been alive during the “games make people violent” craze, where the establishment was trying to pin school shootings on a harmless hobby: The same establishment which caused the systemic issues driving youth into desperation was now blaming an escapist hobby for the issues they, themselves, caused. It’s like framing jugglers for knife attacks. Do some jugglers juggle knives? Yes. Does that have anything to do with anything? No.

Is that in any way comparable in scale and intensity to what various groups had to go through historically, or are now, no of course not. But gamers, as a wider culture, know what it’s like to be victim-blamed. The average person who picks up playing games as a hobby is not any more racist, misogynist, or drivelling rape apologia than the population average. They do it because they enjoy it, no further qualifications necessary.

But OTOH, nope. The copypasta is pumped-up to 11 when it comes to the capacity of gamers to be a community, to organise, take joint action, be a force, everything. I’d be easy to go “no true gamer” on some people but face it “gamers” as a group are still pre-ordering games and letting GPU scalpers have their way with us. Just as powerless as, say, football fans are powerless in he face of FIFA corruption. Concert goes in the face of ticket platform monopolies. We’re a hopeless case in any other aspect but whinging: That, we are masters of.

I generally agree, though there’s cases where you want to be selective with what you’re describing. This Low Saxon dictionary, for example, has a policy of not listing loans and calques from Dutch, German, or English unless they’ve been well-established, doubly so if there’s an already existing Low Saxon word which fits the bill.

The justification is that the language is in a vulnerable state with native proficiency having jumped at least a full generation so many speakers’ vocabulary is lacking. E.g. my repertoire of words for plants and animals in Low Saxon is negligible, so in speech I have to improvise i.e. use a loan. I occasionally look stuff up and I don’t want to find the loan I just used listed, giving it dictionary blessing would amount to aiding and abetting the decline of the language. Why the hell would anyone want to aid and abet the sidelining of wonderful words like Huul­bes­sen, “howl broom”.

Das Team von “together” berichtet gegenüber der Westdeutschen Allgemeinen Zeitung, dass es eine Stunde vor Beginn der Demonstration einen Anruf der Polizei gegeben habe, dass es eine unkonkrete Anschlagswarnung gäbe. “Die Warnung war für einen CSD in Nordrhein-Westfalen, aber nicht konkret, für welchen Punkt.”

NRW ist… groß. Im Moment gibt’s zu wenig Informationen: Gab’s solche Anrufe auch für andere Demos in NRW? Kann die Polizei in ein paar Tagen auf die Nazis oder wenauchimmer zeigen die sie auf dem Kieker haben? Kriegen die Besuch vom SEK?

Alongside “but but but they are not that bad after all”

Go ahead, then, find that kind of quote in my comment history. Do I occasionally defend Israelis? Well, if they live in a Hippie Kibbutz or the like, yes. You know that there’s Israelis who actively protect Palestinians. 95-99.9% of the Knesset? Forget it.

Maybe you should concern yourself less with what I presumably said at some time or the other which you then don’t even bother to actually look up, but what I am saying, right now. You know, actually interact with people you interact with.

In any case you’re getting blocked because I don’t fancy continuing talking to a TV.

Now I suggest you either are being deliberately dim or you are just another genocide apologist:

I called what Israel is doing genocide multiple times. Your attitude here has “But do you condemn Hamas”-energy and isn’t helpful.

Enough for you, sweetie?

I can read. I read it before. I wonder why I need to quote myself for a second time, now. They:

Go point by point, you’ll find similarities, but also stark differences.

That’s what they are doing. They aren’t saying “Israelis are Nazis”. That’s not nuanced enough.

I don’t give a fuck what “specifically matters to Germans”. This is EUROPE community we are discussing, not Germany.

Are you even European because I found this type of inflatory use of Nazi, “Nazi this Nazi that my parents are telling me I have to go to bed they’re Nazis”, is not a thing other Europeans do. Or have trouble understanding.

In any case if you, or your culture, is not in the habit of trivialising things by getting rid of all nuance then I suggest you start adopting the practice. If it’s something that we learned from the experience of the past, maybe it’s a thing worth copying if you want to assure you don’t fall for the same mistakes we did? Just a thought. Maybe if the country who came up with the whole BS tells you “be careful with this, not a good path to be on”, you should pay attention, for your own and everyone else’s sake.

Don’t they understand how fucked up the Nazis were, sweetie?

Yes. And if you actually read what they say then you’d see that they, I’ll quote myself,

Go point by point, you’ll find similarities, but also stark differences.

There’s also plenty of talk about “The Holocaust is singular”.

You also see things like

The Israeli government and its army aren’t Nazis, but they are behaving like all oppressors and people who make wars.

I’m not sure whether you, and people like you, are unwilling or unable to understand what this is about. Why nuance matters, specifically to Germans, specifically regarding this topic. Why it’s important for us to be precise with Nazi comparisons.

feddit.org is absolutely on the side of Palestinians, as you’d know if you actually talked with people there. The genocide does get called a genocide, Israeli politicians get called fascist a lot, if you come with a talking point that smells even remotely of Kahanite you’re getting dogpiled and/or banned. And here you are, getting your underwear in a twist over “please don’t do inaccurate Nazi comparisons”.

It’s a well-established concept in Germany and I’m not really sure what’s confusing or unclear about the verb “to trivialise”. It means “to make something appear less grave than it actually was/is”.

“You had a good orgasm, though”, for example, is a way to trivialise rape. It’s a good example in the sense that I feel bad writing it even in quotes. Calling the RKI “Corona-Stasi” trivialises GDR injustice as the measures taken to prevent spread of a contagious disease cannot be compared, both in goals and the means employed, to a secret police disappearing and torturing people.

Is it permissible to compare the Israeli government with the Nazi regime? Of course. But then do it, actually compare them. Go point by point, you’ll find similarities, but also stark differences. Lazy statements like “All X are Y” though are, at best, useless, and more often than not harmful. They don’t compare anything, they equate things.

If you can’t, on the top of your head, come up with five points that were significantly worse directly at the start of the NS regime, way before WWII started, than they are in Israel right now you don’t know half the history every single German high schooler knows. Meaning to say: The reason, I think, many people think the two are comparable is because they don’t understand the extent of just how fucked up the Nazis were.

Well the way German law works out that it comes down to established historical fact. As in, the professional consensus of historians, heard as expert witnesses. The wording of the law is (paraphrased) “Acts committed by the NS regime that fulfil the UN definition of genocide”, the historians decide what happened, who did it, judges decide whether it fits the definition. Invoking precedence, in German law, is like invoking someone’s doctoral thesis on a matter of law: It’s a piece of reasoning judges will have to take into account because it’s an argument before court but it’s by no means binding. As such having an ICJ judgement will be helpful, but it does need to be up to standards.

One of the doctors who performed the first vaginoplasty, on Dora Richter, did also go on to participate in brutal abuses in a concentration camp.

TIL, design of the freezing experiments and he later wrote on them. Worked at the Charité at the time of doing the vaginaplasty, from what I can tell seems to have been a star surgeon. Surgery attracts psychopaths, he probably could not give less of a fuck about the ethics of anything but was interested in the technical aspects. Dora Richter’s surgery was a joint effort with Ludwig Levy-Lenz, generally credited as the father of sex reassignment surgery and working at the Hirschfeld Institute itself. Not terribly surprising they collaborated with the Charité on a novel procedure, it was and is one of the very best hospitals in the world. Not indicted in the Doctor’s trials, you probably do not want to read up on what those people did. I’m serious.

Fast 600 insgesamt aus Frankreich war da was im Fernsehen oder so? Tiktok-Trend?

Unless you’re running BSD or some other genetic Unix probably not as everything GNU is newer than that. GNU is 80s, original Unix 70s, in the 60s you still have giant minicomputers with very little standardisation, including ISA, and before the 60s there were not even compilers.

A decent chunk of software traces lineage back to then, even if the old code has been retired: vi is the screen terminal mode of ex with is a more featureful ed which got most of its features from qed which is 60s software. Cutting-edge: You didn’t have to punch holes any more, you had a keyboard and a printer. Someone figure out where dd has its argument syntax from so we know whom to blame.

The point being it’s obnoxious that discussions of any female politician at some point have to bring up their attractiveness.

Her badassery was brought up. Yes, badass women are attractive, deal with it.

Copied it from wiktionary, didn’t bother caring about ancient vs. modern. Especially given that the only reason I can read it is maths.

If we take your proposal for example, that would mean that we were very alike to the Scandinavians, since those are mostly the “pagan” traditions that remain in some thinned out, distorted ways, here too.

I guess what I want to say overall is that you shouldn’t confuse the impact of Christianisation with the impact of being neighbours for millennia. Of course you both have Saunas, why wouldn’t they copy you, long before the crusades. There’s indubitably lots of influence in areas such as administration, but folk dances, music? Which tax collector has ever cared about that, that kind of thing travels from village to neighbouring village, the occasional travelling musician, not via state structures.

The Catholic Church definitely had influence on music as they had their stuff standardised but then not every village had a church much less a choir much less organ, nor would you want to dance to their chants. They didn’t unify Europe musically, why would they care to. What they did do is popularise polyphony.

On the flipside: Tradition is not praying to the ashes, but passing on the fire. If there’s some specifically Finnish spark that makes you produce the amount and quality of metal that you do then, by all means, do blaze on. Why go backwards, how would that be more authentic.
