The moment I thought: “What is the point of everything if I’m not myself? Who else am I living for?”

I had a lot of confidence issues as a teen and young adult and hid a lot of myself. It was still a long way after this realisation and I’m not quite there yet, but I’m so much happier since my baseline is “this is who I am, take it or leave it.”

Social life has also improved. Turns out people like a personality even with flaws better than no personality. Who would have thought? (Not 15 year old me, apparently)

Woran merke ich, dass meine Altersgenoss*innen am Kinderkriegen sind? Die beliebtesten Kindernamen sind die, die mir auch gefallen würden. Bin wohl ziemlich basic

But have they tried running “kill all the poor”?

Yes, I do. I sometimes have problems with other types of wool, especially around my neck and collarbones (I can wear wool socks however). But I never had any issues with my merino leggings or shirts. Absolutely no scratchyness for me. Your mileage may vary though.

I don’t have anything to add to the answers to your question but I would advise to avoid Shein even second hand. Their clothes have been tested to contain dangerous levels of toxins several times. Other fast fashion brands are not more ethical in production but at least they keep the chemicals within the regulations.

I don’t know how I ever lived through winters without my Merino leggings. They are warm and comfy. But they were not in a price category I would buy 8 of them.

It’s neither necessary nor recommended to wash wool that often. For me it’s enough to air them out on my balcony over night and only wash them after several wears, so I’m good with 2. But if that doesnt feel right to you, them maybe wool would not be the best choice for you (or you’ll have to replace the leggings more often).

What I can think of in German: Rose, Erika, Jasmin, Iris (maybe Viola but that’s not really the commonly used name for the flower)

It’s an easy mistake to make since the Leibniz Kekse were originally copied from LU biscuits, so they look very similar

LU cookies (e.g., Leibnitz in Germany) | Mondelez

I’m pretty sure Leibniz Kekse are made by Bahlsen, which is a German company. Or am I missing something?

There’s Ghost Commander, if you want a foss alternative to Total Commander. I remember the switch as Ghost Commander feeling basically the same but slightly better.

Nice, I will immediately test if my microwave is modern enough. Brb

That’s exclusively through the matrilineal line though. The most recent ancestor is much more recent.

But your article linked to what I was referring to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identical_ancestors_point (and the mitochondrial Eve is a cool concept either way)

To bring it back to Shakespeare:

Adam’s sons are my brethren, and truly I hold it a sin to match in my kindred.

Für Leute, die gerne englischsprachige Medien konsumieren: Ich hatte mal recherchiert, ob man sich bei Bibliotheken in den USA auch als Nicht-Einwohner registrieren kann. Tatsächlich geht das bei manchen.

Kostet 50$ im Jahr, aber für viel Leser lohnt sich das vermutlich trotzdem. Ich hab es selbst bisher allerdings noch nicht probiert. Ist also kein Erfahrungsbericht, sondern nur mein Rechercheergebnis.

As a teenager I never wore dresses, skirts or nail polish because I didn’t want to be seen as a girly girl. I was into science and books and that didn’t seem to fit the vibes.

I’m glad that I figured out in my twenties that being in a male-dominated tech field doesn’t require you to dress masculine or wear nerd shirts. If you’re into that, that’s great, but it’s also okay to wear dresses or put on make up if you work as an engineer or a software developer.

I remember a professor at uni telling us that at some time in the future each of us will either be the ancestor of every living human or of none.

Equally, if you go back far enough, you will find a common ancestor with every other living person, thus making us all related.

While that seems unintuitive – what about the members of some remote tribe without contact to civilisation? –, keep in mind that even the most remote tribe has to have contact with some neighbouring people . Otherwise they wouldn’t have enough genetic diversity. And those neighbours are in contact with their neighbours and so on.

Edit: Changed “intuitive” to “unintuitive”… Oops

I think what they meant to say is that only a small fraction flees to Europe.

Take Syria for example. Of all the people displaced by the war, about half left the country (according to my quick Google research). By far the biggest portion of the ones leaving went to Turkey, a neighbouring country (about 4 million). Germany, the European country that took in by far the most Syrian refugees, took in something between half a million and a million, about the same amount as Lebanon, which is about 16 times smaller populationwise. Going down the list, before you get to other European countries, there are several other countries in Syria’s neighbourhood — Jordan, Egypt, Iraq.

So I think it’s fair to say that the majority of people try to stay in the vicinity of their country and only flee farther if they have to.
