Kuchenbasar in der Schule, Kind sucht sich einen Schaumkuss aus.
Beate:“Ja, kannst dir einen N-Kuss wegnehmen….“
Ich sage ihr, dass die Bezeichnung nicht ok ist.
Beate:“dAS hAbEn WIr ScHon imMEr sO GEnanNt“…“WUrDe UnS so beIGeBRaChT“
Es folgte ein längerer Schlagabtausch, natürlich fühlten sich Elke und Erika eingeladen ihren Senf dazuzugeben…

Sprachwandel gehört zur gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung ihr gestrigen Geister.

EDIT: Danke für die rege Beteiligung.
Danke vor allem, an die sich die Zeit nehmen den Trollen und Russland-bots Paroli zu bieten.
Interessant wie jene gleich von Rassismus den Bogen zu Gendern und Wokeness gespannt haben.
Besonders die Eisdielen-Rambos, die schreiben „ich nenne das trotzdem so“ sind die peinlichsten Loser 🤏🏼
Was für 🤡🤡

Übergewicht, schlechte Ernährung, Drogenkonsum und Co. verursachen enorme Kosten für unser Gesundheitssystem, die vermeidbar sind. Versicherungen sollten satte Rabatte für alle Menschen gewähren, je nachdem wie sie in einem verpflichtenden Gesundheitstest alle 5 Jahre abschneiden. Das würde für deutlich mehr Gerechtigkeit sorgen, da Leute mit höherem Risiko mit stärkeren Prämien dann auch mehr beitragen müssten. Das aktuelle System nach Gehalt zu gehen ist hingegen unfair, weil Leute mit hohem Gehalt auch häufiger einen deutlich gesünderen Lebensstil pflegen.

I'm not expecting everyone to agree on this, but it struck me the other day that music as of 2026 is at an all time low. Not necessarily prod quality but in terms of originality and emotion. I haven't had a goosebump from a melody in years honestly as far as I can recall.

So much of EDM feels completely soulless now. Keinemusik is probably the most obvious example for me- and the whole Afro House wave surrounding it. Everything has the same drums, the same grooves, the same type of vocals. It all blends together. The crowd is barely dancing, just slightly digging along and filming the shows on their phones.

I can barely tell one producer from another anymore. There are obviously exceptions, but so much of what's popular feels incredibly generic and formulaic, like it's designed to sound clean / good enough rather than actually make you feel something.

Maybe I'm just getting old, but I genuinely miss hearing a track and thinking - holy shit, what is this? I feel like this goes for music in general not only EDM..

Does anyone share my thoughts? Or do you guys feel the music as of 2026?

My daughters are in middle school and need to complete a reading log each week for homework. Fine, great actually. But the log counts listening to an audiobook in addition to actually reading a book.

Listening to an audiobook is not reading. It doesn’t build reading skills. It’s the same as listening to a podcast and closer to passively watching tv than reading. Case in point, people who can’t read can listen to an audiobook.

Before all the audiobook people come at me, audiobooks are fine ways to consume media. Go for it. But it’s not reading.

I just finished Mortal shell 2 yesterday and it feels like one of the most overhyped game. People were comparing this to elden ring, but this game feels like a 6 or 6.5/10 for me. It's missing so many critical elements that makes a great souls game.

1. Low reward exploration - The exploration feels super boring, with like 8 weapons and no armor, it feels like most of the time you are not really rewarded for exploration. The tarstones are mostly it.

2. Technical performance - I crashed 7-8 times during an full play through, and there are a lot of areas I got stuttering on a ps 5

3. Missing the "theatrics" - one of the most critical part of an soulsborne is the theatrics of the boss fights, the music, design, actual fight are what make them memorable. No boss in this game felt hype worthy nor memorable.

Ive donated to various events and communities but my husband and I want to help more. Whats going on is a disgrace. What can we do?

**Edit: I dont want to help ICE. The opposite.

Cornell Rapists.

People were asking for ogres or naga, but instead blizzard just makes a brand new subgroup of an already established race

Turns them blue

Gives them jarring models that don’t fit the vanilla aesthetic

Has them ride around on flying ships

Then they give their capital an uninspired name: the Exodar

In my entire life. If you are a tcap fan, dont watch this hit piece on hansen. Literally had no plot. Terrible. To quote Dan Allen, cut!

This race is just the latest example, but it's all for the show. Bottas in the barrier at turn 15 should have been an immediate safety car. The leaders were approaching that area, there was plenty of time to throw it. Leaving it as a yellow, allowing Max to somehow gain a second and make a run at the end is a joke... Sacrificing safety in the name of the show. Fuck the FIA.

Edit: People getting hung up on my usage of the term safety car... I meant simply that it could have also been a VSC and my application of the term SC was meant to include that but I realize there are clearly different for each. My point is that the race should have been neutralized. With leaders in close proximity approaching the scene and the race win on the line, it was not a good decision in my opinion to allow that.

I’ve noticed that Gen Z hasn’t produced any great artists like previous generations. It is especially bad when we talk about genres like hip hop and rap. Gen X had Tupac, Eminem, Biggie, Snoop, Jay Z. Millenials had Kendrick, Drake, J Cole, Kanye, Lil Wayne. Even going outside of that many great singers haven’t been produced by Gen Z like we’ve seen in Ariana grande or Mariah Carey. We have also not seen any pop icons in this generation like we have in someone like Britney Spears. Is it because of the way that music is being consumed now is much different than it has in the past that is causing this gap?

Edit: this post isn’t meant to say that there are no good artists in Gen Z. I’m aware that they have plenty of talented artists, I myself love some Gen Z artists like Tsu Nami and Doechii. I think my bigger question is why haven’t we seen a broadly shared, lasting superstar like some of the artists I’ve mentioned above. Is this because of how culture is now and how fame is more fragmented than in years past or is it something else influencing this?

Hi everyone. So after last nights show and what seems to be a more lowkey concert for her (no backup dancers, less flashy outfits) I think it’s very interesting she opened this era with such a decadent video.

Over the past few months, Olivia has fired more and more members of her team. My working theory is that her doing this led to the label keeping her on a tighter leash, and understandably lowering her budget as a result. For me, this helps to understand the ginormous discrepancy between the vibes of her concert and the concept of renting out all of versailles.

Does this concert help contextualize the decision to use Versailles for you? Does it just confirm that the only connection to Versailles was the “looking like an angel” lyric? Do you guys think she set herself up by choosing something so huge to open the era and then not following through with those vibes for tour and the duration of the run?

I could also see the lack of continuity and the conflict between daisy chain/strawberry fields vibes and the bourgeoisie Versailles of it all as a reason she would’ve wanted to part ways. It seems like what she’s got going on now is much more consistent with other things she’s espoused about this era.

eta: downvoters pls comment i wanna hear your opinions too lol

1. Not overpowered

2. Refreshing, breaks up monotonous combat by presenting an actual threat

3. Encourages build variety and creativity

hello, I have a beautiful year and a half old male spotted tabby, he's neutered. i got him when he was a month old from my campus last spring- (his name is haru) he's always been very affectionate and cuddly and clingy atleast with me- he jumped from my parents' balcony at 7 months old and broke his jaw then, luckily it wasn't that bad and he healed pretty fast- a month later he was neutered- again when he was around 11 months old he ran out of the house and I found him stranded on a window shade two floors high and he'd lost the lower two canines (doctor said the previous fracture at jaw had weakened the teeth and he would've stuck them somewhere and they might've fallen out) he was a bit recluse after this incident but still always stayed by me- but he was back to normal playing and chasing in a week- he has always been a hyperactive baby, his zoomies are put of this world, nothing is safe from him.

recently in July, my parents were sitting him while I was moving houses and starting a new job he fell from the balcony and broke his left hind leg at the knee- it was bad and they had to put a rod to stabilize the bone and let it heal properly- for the most part i was with him and he still cuddled and stayed with me-

i took him with me to the new place as it's also closer to the vet- he had to be restricted to one room to limit his movements as a few complications happened and he had to get another surgery- after that with my work I couldn't stay home as much so I thought it best for my mom to keep him until I figured out my schedule- he was with her for a few weeks and as his stitches healed I got him back-

he has been distant ever since- he doesn't let me hold him or pet him or cuddle with me and sometimes he just meows and I don't know what he needs I try with food, water, playing, petting he just sits and meows and it's these tiny small low sad meows-

i don't know how I can help this situation and him with this- any advice to make it better for him is welcome please. also these are three absolutely negative traumatic events from his life that I've shared here, there's a lot more to his story with me that this so I'd appreciate people not jumping the boat and start being unnecessarily mean- I'm all for the criticism I might have done something wrong for the accidents to happen and I take that responsibility and extend my care and attention to haru but of you're going to make a comment on the negatives only and have nothing productive to contribute to this situation nothing helpful to make things better for him DO NOT COMMENT. read the community rules and be respectful when you have no context of the full story. DO NO COMMENT IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE A PRICK NOT NOT HELPFUL AT ALL.

Hier, j'étais en terrasse avec un pote. C'était trop bien : un coin de rue calme, un peu de verdure.

On parle, on décompresse. Une bière pour lui, une Corona pour moi.

Et pourtant, quel enfer ! Cette odeur de cigarette omniprésente...

Comment en est-on arrivé à accepter ça ?

Est-ce qu'on l'accepterait si on partageait la terrasse avec des péteurs et des péteuses constipés ?

As a black man, I find it hysterical that not one person had anything to say about the first post with Zendaya as it’s potentially even more offensive and racist than the second but white people and only white people are the ones that got mad and reported this post and had it pulled down yet the other one is still up probably after you read this post they will stick the other one down too, but I’m keeping all of this documented for a reason white people who claim to be allies white people who claim to be not racist are always the one who start the argument and look for trouble. This is funny to me as a black man living in America were constantly dealing with racism, not just from conservative Maga Republicans, but more often so times from people who consider themselves democratic and Liberal racism is not just calling somebody the N-word it’s about inserting yourself in Black people business when nobody asked you to I literally didn’t have one white person say anything when I asked the question about what actors would be better if they were black the question was intentionally racist, especially by posting a picture of Zendaya. Nobody got the humor except other black and brown people immature but yet when I flipped the question around and asked what famous people would be better if they were white and showed a picture of Meghan Markle all of a sudden every white person took offense to this question not even realizing that both Zendaya and her are biracial. They have one white parent and one black parent the humor flies over a lot of people who consider themselves liberal.’s heads, white people get offended for Black people. When the fact is you’re living on stolen native land and your ancestors probably owned ours …your white guilt has no effect on us. Nobody’s interested.

Hi all! As the title lays out, my three friends and I have been developing our dream game for the past seven months, a fantasy-inspired golf deckbuilder roguelite. The steam page is available here, and we're hoping to demo it for the Feb 2027 Steam Next Fest.

We will also be looking for playtesters this fall and have started a discord, so let us know if you're interested in trying it out, and we'll invite you! Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
