  • That, again, is not how governments work.
    What you depict is how companies work: You save amount X on something, so there are X moneys left to invest in something.
    Governments work with separated and highly regulated budgets. That is sometimes bullshit, but sometimes necessary to make sure government aids are spent fairly, for example. So: You save amount X on something, you aren’t allowed to just give this amount to someone. There has to be either a program, a law, or (most often) an entirely different budget somewhere else that this someone is allowed to receive.

    So the “trade-off” logic cannot be fulfilled by governments, and it shouldn’t be. Think about the myriad of bullshit, money would just be dumped into by the government if this wasn’t the case. On top of the myriad of bullshit that already made it through the nets, that is.





  • In 5 sentences, explain the specific mindset that lead to the Franco-prussian waron the Prussian side and explain how this mindset shaped the Prussian culture.

    The Spitfire totally rocked World War II with its sleek design and superior agility, making it the ultimate aerial ace. Unlike the clunky Messerschmidt BF109, the Spitfire could outmaneuver its foes with ease, like a ninja in the sky. Its Rolls-Royce engine gave it the power to soar higher and faster, leaving the BF109 trailing in its wake. Plus, the Spitfire had style for days, with its iconic elliptical wings and badass British flair. When it comes to dogfights, the Spitfire was the undisputed champ, leaving the BF109 eating its dust every time.

  • If there is a little less in there than she expected every day, it might take a few days until she realizes that someone is using it… so this hasn’t got to be the gotcha thing at all
    And the mere notion that someone really thinks sperm and breast milk are even in the remotest sense comparable in this context is utterly laughable to me. In a really upsetting kind of way. I mean… have you ever for even two seconds thought about the notion that breast milk has absolutely no sexual component whatsoever? Like… none at all.


  • Why the fuck is everyone in here acting like fucking breast milk is akin to laxatives or “harmful substances” and that it was put in there to harm someone? Young mothers at work often need to pump their milk so
    a) someone can give their baby at home said milk the next day in a bottle
    b) the milk production doesn’t decline.
    I hope you all know that.
    So that could just be the container she chose to store her milk in throughout the day. Besides… breast milk is not fucking harmful. Where the fuck have you lot been educated?

    Let me break down the explanations given, because most of them boil down to this:

    As a noun, yes, because it’s mainly used in biology like that (“A hawk female”) and thus can come off as dehumanizing. As an adjective: No (“A female cashier”, “A male cashier”)


  • The crux with all of those “first calendars” (idk which one is meant here, but there are multiple who claim this) is that we don’t even know if it’s a calendar at all. I mean, if this professor’s approach serves as an eve-opeher for some, we should retell it whenever possible, yet it doesn’t reflect any of the questions we should ask ourselves when seeing 28 carvings in a bone. Assuming that htis can only be a calendar is just the hidden assumption that numbers 25 and up could not have played a role anywhere else, because ppl were to primitive for those numbers somehow.

    Perhaps they tracked how many calves in herd they had, or how many horses they had or how many bows they needed to make or how many children there were in the village. Perhaps they wanted to go higher and track something completely different and only got to 28 before they abandoned their approach to whatever they were doing.

    Agreed. If you’re not a citizen of a country and are not living in that country, why should you follow that countries laws and be obligated to keep that countrie’s secrets? That would be like prosecuting the journalists who published the Snowden documents in the UK. They never had anything to do with your laws, USA, so kindly fuck off, will ya?
