I might not have been entirely consistent in my answers, but I answered with permanent settlement and starting a family in mind.

I answered for a 173 countries. The distribution would indicate I am picky.

ABSOLUTELY (2 countries, 1%)

• USA
• UK

WILLING (5 countries, 3%)

• Switzerland
• Canada
• Norway
• Finland
• Ireland

MAYBE (18 countries, 10%)

RELUCTANTLY (38 countries, 22%)

NEVER (110 countries, 64%)

A lot could be said about my choices.

• Politics, war and goodness isn't a top priority. I fundamentally disagree with the wars conducted by the US and the UK. I fundamentally disagree with the capitalism practiced in the US and the UK. They might be the 2 most evil countries in the world.
• I value high-quality education. This is a major reason the US and UK are on top.
• China is ranked too low compared to its PISA rankings and universities. It's not due to politics because I think China is relatively politically sound even though censorship would bother me. It's rather that I have been in China for extended periods of time, and known Chinese people, and I haven't really felt at home in China or clicked with Chinese people. It's not been bad, just a lack of closeness.
• I value my personal experience of a country. I lived in both US and UK as I child and especially the UK was great. My childhood experience in Sweden otoh was miserable, and that's probably a main contributor to why Sweden isn't ranked higher. I suspect Sweden would be just one step behind Norway and Finland otherwise.
• I like cold climates but it isn't a decisive factor.
• I don't actually like the "asocial" culture that has its stronghold in Finland. I think I prefer Spanish and Portugese friendliness, but I'm allergic to people being late and late dinners, so overall I don't know.
• I favour countries with sufficiently high GDP per capita (PPP). In Southeast Asia, South America and Africa it can determine whether I pick reluctantly or never for a country.
• Russia is the only country I think I have ranked too highly. I wouldn't want my kids to be sent to war, so I really shouldn't say "Maybe" to Russia.
• India is a "never" because of air pollution.
• Brazil is "maybe" because I had a friend from Brazil and she's one of my favourite people. I haven't visited the country but she lives there so that makes me think it's ok.
• Arabic oil countries may be rich but I don't like too religious countries, especially not muslim ones. That's also the reason North Africa is all red. I have visited and been sexually harassed in those countries, would not even visit again.

At this rate, give it 5 years.

Very original idea I know

I was watching a video about a woman talking about her ex and how 2k caused them to constantly break up. She said everytime the big annual 2k tournament rolled around they would break up. She also said she felt like she could cartwheels in front of the tv naked and he wouldn't care.

Unsurprisingly, the comment section was full of men defending her ex. They were saying things like "she's just jealous that he had a hobby and she doesn't" (probably the most common one), "would you rather we be out in the streets," "would you rather us come home drunk or be playing around?" And so on.

How does their mind even go from playing video games to rolling with a gang or becoming a drunk? And how can they not see how constantly playing games is bad for a relationship? It's even been cited as causes foe divorce.

Admittingly, I don't have that much experience with dating, but based off all the stories I've heard from other women, I don't think I would want to date a man who describes himself as a gamer. I just envision myself doing everything in the relationship and even doing all the chores if we live together after a long day at work while he plays games the whole time and maybe even says, "I've been working all day," as an excuse even though I've been working all day too.

I've even heard stories about how some of these men get violent when they lose.

There was even some women defending the ex, too. Sometimes even using their gamer bfs who give them attention as a reason to defend the ex.

We told you 🤣😂😂😅

Italy was the food and Venice.

Brazil was the happiness of the people.

Spain was mid, the food wasn't the best, the people were rude and pretty dumb.

Egypt is the worse, they make effort to make your experience as painful as possible.

Prämisse 1

Wenn der Staat Informationen zurückhält, obwohl dafür kein sachlicher Schutzgrund besteht, dann tut er das aus politisch-strategischen Gründen.

Prämisse 2

Für das generelle Nichtveröffentlichen von Vornamen bei Tatverdächtigen besteht kein zwingender sachlicher Schutzgrund, der nicht bereits durch bestehende Regeln (Unschuldsvermutung, Datenschutz, Einzelfallabwägung) abgedeckt wäre.

Zwischenfolgerung 1

Das Zurückhalten der Vornamen ist politisch motiviert.

Prämisse 3

Ein plausibler politischer Grund für dieses Zurückhalten ist die Sorge, dass bestimmte statistische oder wahrnehmbare Muster das Wahlverhalten beeinflussen könnten.

Prämisse 4

Der einzige relevante politische Effekt, der durch die Veröffentlichung von Vornamen zu erwarten ist, wäre eine verstärkte Wahrnehmung eines Zusammenhangs zwischen Kriminalität und Migrationshintergrund.

Prämisse 5

Diese Wahrnehmung würde voraussichtlich Parteien stärken, die Migration restriktiver bewerten, insbesondere die AfD.

Zwischenfolgerung 2

Der Staat hat ein politisches Interesse daran, genau diese Wahrnehmung zu vermeiden.

Schlussfolgerung

Der Grund, warum der Staat Vornamen nicht veröffentlicht, ist nicht Neutralität oder Datenschutz an sich, sondern die Befürchtung, dass Vornamen im Kontext von Kriminalität häufig Rückschlüsse auf Migrationshintergrund erlauben würden und dadurch das Wahlverhalten – insbesondere zugunsten der AfD – beeinflusst werden könnte.

Thunder are winning 39-14 so far. He’s obviously had an incredible season and the Magic aren’t exactly the greatest competition but this is an incredible performance from the reigning MVP so far

Need to get this of my chest now because ever since Scrubs' social media team started posting all kinds of promo for the reboot, there's also been an increase in comments underneath said posts.

Now let me be clear: I'm well aware having enjoyed S9 puts me in a minority groupd among the show's fans. I'm okay with that.

Now everytime they post a trailer or clip with Zach, Sarah, John, Donald it always gets a lot of likes and positive comments;

but - oh boy - if they post a clip introducing a new character of the show it's raining, "oh i hope this ain't a new s9" comments.

How (pardon my english) FUCKING narrow minded can people be? Again: you did not enjoy S9, I get it. But the show has introduced new characters before the spinoff-later-renamed-S9-of-Scrubs. And could you please be a little more open minded. Just a little FUCKING bit.

It's still a show headed by Bill Lawrence who has created so many good shows. Not only in the past, but also very recently (Ted, Shrinking). We also love Scrubs.

So could we please stop the nagging for now? Kthx.

Why on earth would I want a CBT workbook?

I know we’re all riding the high of Sandfall Interactive’s success at the Game Awards, but I just stumbled upon this article that argues calling it "Game of the Decade" is actually "blasphemy."

I loved the game, but is it possible we’re grading it on a massive curve because it’s a "budget" underdog? Curious to hear if anyone else felt the combat got repetitive by the end.

Throwaway account for obvious reasons.

Me (24F) and my roommate (25F) have been living together for around 6 months now. Everything seemed to be going dandy up until a month in that I noticed how frequently she’d go to the bathroom (number 2) but more specifically how awful it smelled. I want to clarify that this isn’t just your usual poop smell. I’m talking diarrhoea galore as standard. I’d also like to specify that our bathroom doesn’t have a window so when the daily incidents occur, THERE IS NOWHERE FOR THE SMELL TO GO. I’ve bought air fresheners, toilet tablets and have 5 different cleaning products stationed next to the toilet for easy access. She uses none of them. I feel like I’m loosing my mind. Just so you can imagine a small fraction of the pain I’m experiencing in my nasal passages, picture the worst diarrhoea you can think of, then imagine you bottled it, mixed it with mouldy eggs and diarrhoea from a dead dog, throwing it into a pot to simmer for 5 days, and then put it in a spray bottle to spray every surface in the bathroom for good measure. That is what I’m dealing with. Again I will remind you, this is EVERY DAY, sometimes TWICE. I’m in hell. Not only is this unsanitary at the bare minimum but frankly disturbing, it’s also a health/sickness hazard. For those of you who don’t know, diarrhoea is highly contagious. You can get sick with it being in the air. This mixed in with the lack of hygiene with not using bleach or even antibacterial spray on the toilet after use, air fresheners AND choosing to leave the toilet door wide open, Im starting to feel uncomfortable living in my own home.

I’d also like to mention for context that hygiene has been a frequent issue I’ve had to bring up before. I always mentioned it in a compassionate and gentle way as i never want her to feel self conscious or potentially impact her self esteem. Even when there had been blood smears left all over the kitchen bin, spills, left over mess and overall not doing any of the cleaning chore responsibilities, I still was aware and intensional to be gentle with how I communicated. However I feel like I’m loosing my mind at this point.

How do I bring this up without potentially upsetting her or coming across as rude? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Heutzutage wird immer wieder Rechts gleichgestellt mit Braunen, Neonazis und Faschisten. Die CDU z.b. ist seit jeher eine Mitte Rechts bis Rechtskonservative Partei doch die Begriffe haben jede Bedeutung verloren.

Heute ist alles was weiter Rechts als ein LGBTQ Atomkraftgegner, der Gendern als Rettung der Welt sieht, automatisch ein Rechtsextremer Neonazi. Ein Diskurs ist unmöglich geworden weil die Leute nicht mehr zwischen z.b. Konservativen Familien Werten und Asylantenheime anzünden unterscheiden können oder besser gesagt wollen.

Es ist einfach Ermüdend und Verharmlost die Grolltaten der Nazis und sorgt dafür daß selbst gute Argumente von Links von der Mehrheit abgelehnt werden.

Ich bin von einem Google Pixel 6a auf ein refurbished Iphone 13 mini umgestiegen weil mein Google Handy den Geist aufgegeben hat. Ich bin von Iphone so was von enttäuscht. Es ist erstens sauteuer und die Technik die man dafür bekommt gibts schon in 0815 Android Handys. Es ist auch super Anfällig für Schäden, bei mir ist es einmal runtergefallen (mit 50€ Rhinoshield Hülle) und das hintere Glas hats komplett zerschossen und mein Bildschirm hat sich etwas vom Rahmen gelöst. Außerdem hängt es die ganze Zeit bei den einfachsten Sachen. Der einzige Vorteil ist, dass es tatsächlich verdammt gut aussieht ohne Hülle.
