  • Hair ties, hair clips, hair pins, those spiral thingies you twist in (no idea what they’re called in English) and hairspray to keep it from fluttering about. Lots of ways to keep your hair up and in shape, depends on what exactly you want to achieve.

    That said, I don’t know anyone, like literally anyone, who thinks that keeping your hair up is more comfortable.


  • Our conservatives aren’t literal Nazis. And yeah, the actual literal Nazis at 20% is horrifying but it’s not like they’re going to be part of the government. It’s going to be a coalition between the conservatives from the Union and the allegedly social democratic Social Democratic Party. If there’s majority for that they’ll add the vaguely progressive Greens to the mix.

    Meanwhile the US has turned itself into a Nazi broligarchy.

    We can still be smug. Sorry America.

    Edit: and yes, this post is heavy on copium.

    Cut the gendered slurs. Those are not a good look.

    But to give an actual reply to your… expressed views, no. Neoliberalism, deregulation and privatisation is an issue in Germany, but there’s still a significant difference between Germany and the United States. And if you had paid any attention at all you’d know that German policy is primarily a policy of national self-interest, and that Germany doesn’t follow America blindly. German and American interests just happen to be broadly aligned (happened to be, anyway, considering the new US administration seems more interested in conflict with Germany and Germany’s allies).

    Beyond that, most capitalist countries other than the United States have some form of universal healthcare system, I’ve just used Germany as an example because Germany was used as a point of comparison by someone else.



  • Yes, because ethnic cleansing famously doesn’t cause loss of life. And even if you could somehow relocate millions of Gazans safely to a country that’s willing and capable to accept them (of which there are none because the Arab nations aren’t as much pro-Palestine as they are anti-Israel, one of the biggest mass murders of Palestinians was committed by Jordan) forcibly relocating people for a landgrab is still a crime against humanity. Even if it’s not technically “genocide.” Though considering the almost guaranteed loss of cultural heritage and consciousness calling cultural genocide would not be inappropriate in the slightest.

    For fuck’s sake, I’m as pro-Israel as you can get and that’s not something I can defend. It’s completely inhumane. It’s also exactly what I expected from a Trump presidency.

    There’s zero indication that OP is ordering delivery often, so I’m not sure why you have jumped to that conclusion?

    Besides, whether or not ordering delivery often depends on what you’re ordering and on your disposable income. McDonald’s is far from the only option, plenty of real restaurants offer delivery too these days. If you can afford it, you can probably eat a fairly healthy diet even if you never cook. Not for me, in no small part because I usually enjoy cooking, but I’m not gonna judge people who don’t. Doesn’t affect me, I’m not gonna go out of my way to be annoyed.









  • Worth noting that the German system is horrifically inefficient due to being half-privatised and having dozens of layers of bureaucracy doing the exact same thing in dozens of insurance companies.

    And it still has holes that people can fall through and end up uncovered. Germany is not a good example for universal healthcare. We’ve basically coasted on “eh, good enough” since Bismarck and only made minor adjustments instead of creating something like a Federal Health Service.
