a lot of the stigma surrounding sex work in the modern day (that doesn’t just boil down to misogyny/gender norms/religion) is based on the fact that selling intimate aspects of one’s self places a set value on something that many see as sacred
The fact that most of the times the stigma only clings to the person selling and not the person buying makes me think that this is actually a negligible part of the stigma.
Are you telling me your fairytale wedding does not include doves hacking out the eyes of your stepsister or your stepmother dancing to her death in shoes of red hot iron? Boooring.
No, MareOfNights, I also find that weird.
Start with praise and honest opinion.
So which is it?
Seriously though, I hate it when people throw in some praise completely unrelated to the thing we are talking about at the moment in an attempt to soften the criticism. It just seems really transparent and fake to me. Praise people for things when they are doing them, not as sugarcoating for your criticism. That just devalues the praise and your criticism. But maybe that’s just my stereotypical German directness.
I’m sure he would have believed he could.
the bill’s language and topic caused confusion; a member proposed that it be referred to the Finance Committee, but the Speaker accepted another member’s recommendation to refer the bill to the Committee on Swamplands, where the bill could “find a deserved grave”.
An assemblyman handed him the bill, offering to introduce him to the genius who wrote it. He declined, saying that he already met as many crazy people as he cared to.
I hope medicine in 1897 was up to the treatment of these burns.
To be fair though, there are way more cows than crocodiles, snakes, sharks or deadly spiders in the UK.
Adding to what the other comments have already said: Don’t bring an unleashed dog on a cow pasture. You’d think that’s common sense, but apparently it’s a bit of a meme in Austria and Switzerland that every few months some German get’s trampled by cows because their totally friendly dog ran towards the cows and they felt threatened.
Legendary you say? Relatively unknown outside of Germany (and other German speaking countries) you say?
Let me introduce you to Dschinghis Khan by Dschingis Khan
(99 Luftballons, which was mentioned here before, is arguably the bigger hit that really everyone knows. But I couldn’t resist throwing this out there. It was a huge hit and is still known.)
Einfach direkt Kinder verbieten. Löst auch das CO2-Problem langfristig.
Gehört zu den “vielen mehr” nicht auch der Kinderschutzbund? Diese Kinderschutz-Gegner immer!
Catholics also have patron saints for nearly everything from infants to ice skaters that they pray to but that are totally not gods because there is only one god. I mean, yeah, their second most important prayer is directed at the Virgin Mary, but that doesn’t mean they worship her or anything.
What happens to people who rent out an apartment in the house they are living in? This is not uncommon, where I live. Grandma lives in a small separate apartment in the house, she dies, the apartment is rented out. Sometimes a child moves in later or the parents move in and a child takes over the house.
If these people risk losing a part of the house by letting someone else rent it, my guess is that they would just stop renting it in order to be able to leave the whole house to their children. Which would leave even less homes on the renting market and a bigger share to big corporations.
Dass du nächstes Jahr ein 2 für 1 Angebot finden wirst, möchte ich nicht garantieren, aber generell sind Sonnencremeangebote zu Beginn des Sommers üblich, ja.
Mit dem auf Vorrat kaufen wäre ich bei Sonnencreme vorsichtig, weil der Schutz irgendwann nachlässt. Geöffnet sollte man sie normalerweise nicht mehr im nächsten Sommer verwenden. Geschlossen ist das bestimmt länger, aber ich persönlich bin da lieber auf der sicheren Seite.
Ich weiß nicht, ob das woanders anders war, aber als ich letzte Woche in Stuttgart war, hab ich “Lasst euch nicht die Autos wegnehmen” Wahlplakate der CDU gesehen. Das ist ein wörtliches Zitat, kein sinngemäßes.
Ever heard someone say “I really put my foot in my mouth”? That’s what they are trying to find out.
I’m almost of average height for a woman in my country. Even if I thought height mattered, I would have very little reason to feel insecure about it. But since men are on average taller, I still count myself as being part of the short people.
Fair. But there’s no stepladder that will help you mimic my power of sitting comfortably in trains, planes and busses.
You have opened my eyes. I just shaved off my eyebrows and plucked out my eyelashes.
I don’t think I do know actually. But here’s an attempt at answering this question anyway:
We are usually very quick at relating sickness or even discomfort to the food we ate at the time or slightly before. This is a very valuable trait to avoid food that is unhealthy or even poisonous. But it’s only based on correlation, so it can turn us off food that is not actually causing the sickness but we just happened to eat at the time.
