@niclas exactly this shit. all it would take is to look to our neighbours, look up the statistics for them and see that it's bullshit. to police others on top of that is really typical german. i'm very happy that we have rules here, but this policing of others without even questioning the rules is really fucked.
maybe it's the ole german angst 🤷♀️
@bonifartius 10 days ago I went to Embedded World in Nürnberg by train from Sweden.
1. When passing the border from Denmark to German, an announcement of "must have a mask on", and I was like "What happened? Same people, same confined space, won't stop for another hour...?"
2. As soon as I entered a train, bus, S-bahn, U-bahn in Germany, the enforcement of the "mask mandate" was done by ordinary Germans. Not once didn't the nearest German forcefully (stern voice) demanded that I put on a mask.
Lol covid is so serious we now need a guide to differentiate it from hayfever

> Der CDU-Sozialflügel forderte hingegen: "Die Mehrwertsteuer auf Grundnahrungsmittel, die um bis zu 40 Prozent teurer geworden sind, muss vorübergehend reduziert werden." Eine Tüte Chips dürfe nicht billiger sein als ein Möhrensaft, zitieren die Zeitungen der Funke-Mediengruppe ein Papier des Arbeitnehmerflügels CDA.

@Elfie idk, at least in the us there seems to be a sizable number of people who are not avid bootlickers. i don't even expect that one puts something on the line - as it's usually not worth it given the opponents - just showing some healthy criticism of the government and mass media.
never had much talk with people from spain so i can't comment on that.
protests like right now in the netherlands or those you regularly see in france won't happen here. the only time so many people gather to "protest" anything here in germany is if it's the government approved anyway - it's plain virtue signalling.

> "Ich glaube, dass der Planet bereits überbevölkert ist und nicht noch mehr Menschen braucht", sagt der gebürtige Schweizer. "Ich mache mir Sorgen um die Umwelt und den Klimawandel, und obwohl ich Fleisch esse und gelegentlich fliege, glaube ich, dass der Verzicht auf Kinder einen großen Einfluss auf meinen ökologischen Fußabdruck hat." Der 34-Jährige rechnet das gegen: Lieber erlaubt er sich die gelegentlichen Flüge in die Schweiz oder das gelegentliche Stück Fleisch und verzichtet dafür auf biologische Nachkommen. Für ihn geht diese Rechnung auf.
vielleicht beim bouldern aufn kopf gefallen.

hihi, das wird er niemals rausfinden :)
@Hyolobrika
sorry, was too late for me yesterday ;)
you'll always have those professors without integrity, like in every group of people. i think at universities the whole "gender" stuff is more likely to be an issue. tbh, i think the witch hunt mentality of some students is more of a problem then the majority of professors. one wrong word and the cancel-mob is in full throttle.
idk about britain, but if a professor says something really discriminatory i'd just go the formal way of filing a complaint or whatever. everything else is a guaranteed shitshow which will likely not end in your favor.
> What do I do?
tl;dr: university is a rigged system full of crazy people. best thing to do is to stay out of politics if you are really interested in the science.

don't only rely on my words, read what happy customers wrote about me: "10/10 would buy again", "top seller, great value", "wildly incorrect", "teil des problems", "without imagination", "Repeated provocation using copy/paste.", "if you take a dump in my mentions, I just might notice the smell", "log out and never login again", "Du redest wirr.", "My brother in Christ, this is such a ridiculously dumb statement that I will no longer entertain this silly conversation.", "Auf Derailing-Diskussionen habe ich keine Lust.
