Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

In other news:

Bayrische Abiturienten are butthurt over the Mathe-Abitur being *checks article* not as easy as the last two years?

https://www.change.org/p/kultusministerium-bayern-bewertung-des-mathe-abiturs-2019-in-bayern-anpassen

I mean, I'm allowing for the chance that this Prüfung may actually have been unverhältnismäßig schwer, but:

quote:

Sophie Basmann·vor 4 Stunden
Es einfach viel zu schwer war und nichts im Vergleich zu den letzten Jahren war. Der Großteil der Abiturienten hat die ganzen Ferien nichts anderes gemacht als Mathe zu lernen und da kann man wenigstens erwarten, dass die Fragen auf dem Niveau der letzten Jahre ist. Diese Abitur war einfach unrealistisch machbar.

This is some serious American-tier :qq:
WAAAAH, I had to study for an exam that concludes my 13-year school education and is used as a job-level or higher-education-level entry reference. AND THE QUESTIONS WEREN'T AS EASY AS THE LAST TWO YEARS, AND I COULDN'T PARTY :mad:

Re: crossed legged sitting: I always do it when I can because it's my preferred way of sitting, but you should not do it when someone is sitting opposite you and there's not enough space.

Confirmed. Even if you give them the easiest exam ever, you will still get a few students who "only" manage a 2 and then complain about it.

In my Abi-Jahrgang, the actual drat teachers petitioned to whatever Fachausschuss of the Kultusministerium because the schriftliches Chemie Abi was apparently not only unverhältnismäßig schwer, but had questions with content from outside the Gymnasialsyllabus. They also told me I had the shared-best Chemie Abi of the city with a handful of other people...

with 7 Punkte.

Cs get degrees, y'all :smug:


/ninjaedit, wait, is 7 Punkte already a Vier? Welp :negative:

/edit: Can't spell "Degree" without a D :smuggo:

Wouldn't sitting cross-legged just screw over the guy sitting in front of you? I'm not all that tall but there's already leg room issues in the S-Bahn sitting normally. :shrug:

In the S-Bahn we are all Opfer, which makes it difficult to otherize your fellow Fahrgäste. That's why die Avantgarde der pendelnden Klasse has established a Hierarchie der Opfer based on the source of the infraction of your personal space in public transport.

Manspreading is worse than she-bagging (due to centuries of schwänzeschwingendes Patriarchat) which is worse than crosslegging which is worse feeling annoyed by an obese person (fat-being?) because that would be structurally bodyshaming.

4 Punkte are the lowest 4, so 7 Punkte are a 3-. You can feel smug again.

I think the real issue here is that students were specifically only studying maths during holidays, overwhelmingly more than other topics, and still felt like that didn't do much. It points more towards math being overproportionally important, tough, and also probably badly taught if it's so difficult for so many people.

Reminds me of my Chemie Abi where like two hours in one of the teachers got dropped and went "Oh yeah, they just called us and it looks like they forgot to include a variable for this one section and it's not solvable without it. Here's the value you're supposed to use."

Meanwhile I'd somehow managed to arrive at a solution without that variable. :v:

I'm sure you were taught differently. When you were a child in 1890's Prussia, the school system was really famous for emphasizing the importance of thinking outside the box.

But then there's an empty window seat and either the next person has to squeeze through both your crossed legs or you look like an rear end in a top hat for leaving the window seat empty and not moving out.

The bus user hierarchy in Hesse is as follows:

Top are crazy people who can sit wherever they want because they will just stand there and say crazy things at you until you leave the seat.
Next are olds with their various Gehhilfen who of course do take up a lot of space but who can blame them?
Next are people with 1-3 bicycles which you can inexplicably transport for free here. They will sit somewhere initially, but will be forced to jump up when their bikes start rolling through the bus autonomously and crushing people.
Next are rude old ladies who start yelling the second any non white person dares to offend them in any way whatsoever, like having an accent or standing in the standing area.

How you sit does not really seem to be a factor, probably because we wisely don't have the type of continuous side bench that makes manspreading problematic.

I am so glad that I'll be leaving this place

My two favourites are the old lady with dementia who wears a comically oversized poker dealer's visor from the 1960s and likes to literally cuddle with strangers on the bus, and calling them süße Schmetterlinge

And the 90 year old dude with two clubbed feet who can barely speak normally and instead spends his time on the bus loudly singing old Wehrmacht songs of questionable content

SPD status: Still melting the gently caress down, Sigmar Gabriel edition:

quote:

"Bewusste Tabubrüche, das Ignorieren von Fakten und Empirie, das Mobilisieren populistischer Sehnsüchte und die Inkaufnahme der Beschädigung der eigenen Partei: das ist übrigens die Methode Donald Trump", schreibt Gabriel weiter. Nur der mediale Effekt und das eigene Ego seien wichtig. "Nun ist Kevin Kühnert nicht mal ein Bonsai-Trump. Es wäre eine böse Überzeichnung, ihn so zu sehen und eine unzulässige Verniedlichung des US-Präsidenten zudem. Aber die Methoden, derer sich beide bedienen, sind doch frappierend ähnlich. Und die medialen Reaktionen darauf auch." Wenn beides Schule mache, dann verliere die wichtigste Voraussetzung moderner Demokratien weiter an Boden: die Aufklärung.

How do you sit cross legged if you have a penis and balls? I mean by definition that crushes you goods.
I can do like a half cross, but that just takes more space than actually sitting normally.

By having normally working limbs I suppose? If you literally cannot sit cross legged it might be time for some yoga op.

VW was founded as a state owned company, BMW wasn't. BMW already was enteignet once,, at least the factory in the socialist workers' paradise in the Tätärätä wurde ins Kollektiv überführt and poo poo didn't really work out. Kühnert's idea is simply backward romanticism of stuff that has already failed worldwide over the course of the last century, which is why Siggi's brutal takedown is warranted.
