My upstairs neighbors' baby always cries a lot, but it started crying yesterday at 10 am, then cried all loving day with at most 20 minutes of rest in between, and it is now crying again. I can always hear the two (well, her) take care of the baby so it's not like they're dead or intentionally ignoring the situation. I guess I just wish they would finally shake it until it dies. And with that, gumo in der KW 18, lets steiger that Bruttosozialprodukt :buddy:

Looks like Smirr "Babyshaker" wasn't alone with his feelings. Please, don't shake the babies.

Don't shake babies unless a medical professional explicitly advises you to do it.

Babies not having a reliable mute button except for shaking seems like a huge evolutionary oversight and I'm not even sure how we made it as a species like that. Imagine trying to sneak through a sabertooth's or rival homo sapiens gang's territory and suddenly your baby goes off.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Köln will trotz der Corona-Krise 2021 Karneval feiern. Eine Komplettabsage sei "keine Option", erklärte das Festkomitee Kölner Karneval am Dienstag nach einer Treffen von rund 100 Präsidentinnen und Präsidenten. Klar sei, dass es 2021 ein Dreigestirn, ein Kinderdreigestirn, eine Proklamation und auch einen Umzug geben werde. Kölns oberster Karnevalist, Christoph Kuckelkorn, erklärte, das Fest sei in der Stadt ein "starkes verbindendes Element". "Diese soziale Kraft brauchen wir gerade schweren Zeiten wie jetzt.

Babies going "I guess that I am starving or in terrible pain but it's no big deal so I can just lay here not making a fuss" would not make for a big evolutionary winners.

Unfortunately babies crying are supposed to distress you. Otherwise it wouldn't be effective.

I dunno. It's not like a baby has a dingo proximity detector. Once the dingo has the baby in its mouth and it starts cying, it's already way too late. You gonna write that baby off at that point. Doesn't seem like a mute button would change much.

Most other great ape children seem pretty chill and well adjusted compared to human babies. I don't think any of them do angry psychotic screaming 24/7 for absolutely no reason.

I think the whole thing was intentional as it's probably a chud ad agency and Volkswagen are a bunch of complete idiots for whom the Internet still is Neuland.

This whole arrangement of having politicians in the Aufsichtsrat is thinly veiled corruption to protect VW from any proper consequence of criminal behaviour on their part.

It's not an arrangement, Niedersachsen is a major shareholder so they absolutely should have someone on the board. That they are probably not exercising any oversight and only buddy up with the other execs is the corrupt part.

They should just put VW fully under staatliche Führung for their various criminal activities then.

Historically, Volkswagen might have actually committed more criminal activities while under staatliche Führung, though.
