Yeah I mean that is a very historically interesting tidbit. Studying Rommel would probably reveal a lot of the power dynamics and ideological conflicts within the Third Reich. Or maybe just fart out a tweet without context, I dunno

Simply Simon posted:It is not a law of nature that all old people become racist and lovely, much like it's not a guarantee that all men want to be like their father and all women will be like their mother. Old people are people too and responsible for their own choices and actions. There shouldn't be any automatic excuse like that, and even less so for someone who's job is to literally stay on top of current events and commentate on them in a funny way. You're right. In fact, personality research suggests that humans become more mellow and agreeable as they age. But it is is the case that they become more close-minded. Some of that is probably preventable, like humans becoming complacent with their own life style ("It worked for me, why do these people want it different"). But I wouldn't at all be surprised if a part of that process was inevitable. I'm sorry that I can't dig out the source because that would cost me an hour or so at work, but: reaction times get longer as humans grow older. There was one memory-related study a couple of years ago in which they found that one reason for this slowing is that humans have to basically index an ever-growing memory before making certain judgments. If you apply that to learning, it'll mean that integrating new knowledge (or attitudes) into existing knowledge (or attitudes) becomes more difficult. Maybe this can be mitigated if it is drilled into individuals to think critically, to reflect, and to expect to have to re-adjust their thinking every now and then. It would be absolutely brilliant if a generation would keep these skills until they've arrived at an age where they've accumulated economical and political privilege. But unless you actively work on it I'm afraid the default scenario is to become close-minded.

Libluini posted:And if we knew what an "ELI5" is supposed to mean, we would think your post was really funny. Alas, normal people don't read Reddit, so Don't know if your comment was irony or not, but ELI5 stands for 'Explain like i'm 5' on reddit. When there's an ELI5 question, people respond with really contrived and forced  analogies. Like, physicists already have a knack for making really bad analogies that only complicate the material they're trying to explain. But redditors can effortlessly top that. That's what my comment was alluding to. I did not intend to piss anyone off btw.

Libluini posted:Apparently "staatstragend" is code for "only idiots vote for them", considering how the SPD is bombing in elections so far The problem with the tweet isn't that the blurb by Nahles is factually incorrect, it's that it's incredibly tone-deaf. You rightly point out that a universal basic income would just be another welfare scheme in a sugar coat, with macro-economic uncertainties attached. But right now, welfare schemes carry exceptionally bad stigmata. There are tons of people who can't work due to disability and illness, who are stuck in the health and welfare systems. There are segments of working age population who couldn't work in anything but state-subsidized small time employment in toxic jobs at businesses that wouldn't be competitive without state aid. Others are driven to become 'self-employed' delivery drivers, which is just the same kind of state aid to the parental company except with more poo poo. It's my impression that the state has nothing to offer to these people except derision and contempt. If you're working and can't make rent because you're still treated as a Sozialschmarotzer and Bittsteller. Now I agree that a universal basic income would probably not help these people a terrible lot. Maybe it'll be a bit more for some, but less for others. There's the danger that individual needs and hardships that exceed the BGE will not be covered. Maybe it does save the state a little work (and employment, ha) to process the BGE compared to the current system. But to act as though society right now is an egalitarian utopia where everyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps isn't helping. Maybe it is time we acknowledged people's struggles. Maybe it's also time to realize that increasing spending to a group that uses 99% of their money at the supermarket next door is an easy way to ease their problems while stimulating consumption in meager years (I mean isn't Germany's lack of a consumer market one of her biggest economical weaknesses anyway?). So Nahles reflects on all this, then looks at the history of Social Democracy across Europe and in Germany. She realizes that as a Social Democrat she's in the game to stand up for the disenfranchised and create a healthy economy for everyone. Nah gently caress it she goes all  and  about it.I mean, really, who is the SPD trying to appeal to anymore?

Similarly I thought people on the internet were making jokes about women in an unfunny but harmless way. They were not making an awkward attention at humor.

Yes let us talk down and demonize other people about potentially contributing to 0.00645 of CO2 emissions and get bogged down into discussions about that rather than tackling the issue of generating almost half our energy by burning coal in TYOL 2019 seriously it's cool that people buy bamboo toothbrushes and all that (which are shipped in from other continents) in order to save the environment. but maybe the effort would be better spent to improve the source of 90% of our emissions rather than the remaining 10%.

Wengy posted:I feel like I'm repeating myself but por que no los dos. Also, who the gently caress buys a bamboo toothbrush that is then imported via plane? you'd have to be literally retarded to do that I sympathize with your por que no los dos, I really do. But my impression is that if people feel that something isn't going right, they'll do one thing about it. That thing might fix or not fix the issue. What this means on a larger scale is that people who are concerned about environmental issue will walk into the store, pick a few items with a green or blue sticker on them, and then conclude 'I guess that's about all we can do'. Meanwhile any big corporation wouldn't hesitate one second to force feed their toxic waste to a bunch of endangered whales if it saved them one cent. Maybe I'm to cynical about all of this. But my impression remains that efforts to change the habits of consumers (like making plastic bags cost a few cents) give societal and political discourse a nice excuse to be distracted and procrastinate the larger issues. BTW I looked up some of the tooth brushes in question, and they're produced in Shenzhen, China. So I guess their ecological foot stamp doesn't measure op to their advertising claims . That being said I am in favor of replacing single-use plastics where it makes sense, so I'm happy that people at least think about these things.

Wengy posted:Didn’t know oliwan was a Zeit journo Can't read the article behind the paywall, but agree with the runner (for perhaps the wrong reasons as I can't read the rest). My sister has a lovely daughter. Whenever my mother (so, the niece's nana) came to pick her up, the niece would try to run away and hide. She'd yell 'NO!' when she was asked if she wanted to give Nana a hug. She would cry if she was asked whether she wanted to spend a day there. She loved all the other older ladies in the family though. The grandmother, on her part, would lament that something was horribly wrong with the child: always in a bad mood, always moping and crying and never laughing. Surely, she reasoned, it was my sister's modern way of raising children that caused this (a.k.a. not exclusively giving the daughter girly stuff, having her play with other children in gay communist day care as opposed to locking her up in the house as we had been). It transpired that whenever Nana would pick up the child, their version of a day of toddler-appropriate activities consisted of: sitting at home in the chair and reading the news while the toddler was allowed to inspect the surroundings but of course not touch anything for fear of DANGEROUS. Nana would take the toddler shopping and basically told her to sit in the corner while she was picking out clothes for half an hour. They'd go have to a fancy Italian restaurant where the kid had to sit still for an hour and be surprised that the kid hated that.  Please do age-appropriate stuff with your children.
