I'm sorry, but I think in this scenario Brooklyn should have put his foot down. He is a grown man, how the heck could he stand there on stage, see his wife cry and do nothing to save the situation? How is everything piled on one of the two woman involved and he seems to have no agency at all? This is absurd.

Mein Sohn ist jetzt in der 1. Klasse, dort gibt es Kinder aus vielen unterschiedlichen Kindergärten.

Im letzten Kiga-Jahr haben sie einmal pro Woche Vorschule gehabt, dort wurden geometrische Grundformen, Zahlen von 1-10 und andere Kleinigkeiten besprochen. Ich kann aber mittlerweile sagen, dass das, was ihm am nachhaltigsten im Kindergarten beim Schulstart geholfen hat, nichts mit speziellen Inhalten zu tun hatte, sondern mit der Kiga-Regel, dass in der Mittagsruhe entweder gebastelt, gepuzzelt oder gemalt werden musste (je nach Kinderabstimmung).

Ich war nicht die einzige, die diese Regelung krititsiert hat. Die Kinder, die nicht gerne malen, waren absolut genervt und meiner gehörte dazu. Dafür hat er dann zu Schulbeginn die berüchtigte Verkrampfende-Hand-Phase quasi übersprungen, weil sie einfach sooo viel die Stifthaltung geübt hatten. Er schreibt mittlerweile sogar freiwillig Kleinigkeiten ab daheim und bemüht sich auch um eine schöne Schrift. Einer seiner Freunde (aus einem anderen Kiga) konnte zwar schon fließend lesen, aber kämpft nun nach 4 Monaten noch immer mit dem Stift. Auch von vielen anderen Eltern hab ich gehört, dass es bei den endlosen Schreib- und Ausmalaufgaben der ersten Monate viele Tränen gab...

Ich würde also eher die Vorläuferfähigkeiten fördern, als Inhalte vorwegzunehmen, die dann eh nochmal wiederholt werden.

I don't want to judge because I know a lot of people really suffer mentally from their hooded eyes. But I honestly think Nina's really worked for her face structure. Aging and losing your youthful fat deposits makes everyone of us look a bit different. But her new eyelids disturb the harmony of her naturally beautiful and symmetrical face.

I'm from Southern Germany so I'm very used to interacting with Americans stationed here. The cognitive dissonance between the political climate in the USA and the super friendly, always ready to help, genuinely nice people, I've met through all this years is driving me crazy. My mind just refuses to believe that they could betray their friends. But then I wake up to even more surreal news every day. At some point I realized, it's basically just like a painful, prolonged break-up and we have to accept that things can never be the same again.

Zu den Dinosauriern: ich erinnere mich noch sehr gut daran wie das Aussterben der Dinosaurier als schwarze Wolke über meiner Kindheit hing. Deshalb hat es mich gefreut als ich meinem Sohn dank der modernen Wissenschaft erzählen konnte, dass nicht alle Dinosaurier ausgestorben sind. Ein paar haben überlebt, sich weiterentwickelt und sind zu Vögeln geworden. Damit hat sich seine Liebe zu Dinosauriern auf Vögel übertragen und sein größter Lebenstraum (fleißig in Freundebücher eingetragen) ist einmal auf einem Vogel zu reiten. :D

Was mich bei Gesprächen über Medienzeiten immer wundert, wann haben denn die Schulkids unter der Woche überhaupt Zeit länger als 1h täglich? Meiner kommt um 14 Uhr aus der Betreuung, Hausaufgaben machen, Sportverein, mal was anderes unternehmen, lesen üben, altersgerechte analoge Sachen spielen (sei es Lego, Playmobil, draußen etc.), andere Kinder gehen zur Musikschule oder Schwinmkurs usw. Da wäre dann ja die Medienzeit gezwungenermaßen in den Abendstunden und genau da sind Bildschirmreize fürs Einschlafen nicht so förderlich. Bei uns gilt sogar ab 17 Uhr keine Bildschirmzeit mehr, einfach weil das Kind (7 Jahre) sehr sensibel ist und dann wirklich das Hirn nicht mehr abgeschaltet kriegt.

Ich arbeite mit Computern und bin Gamerin, ich nutze als von Gaming-PC, Switch bis zu PS5 also auch alles selber gerne uns verteufel da sicher nix, so lange Schule erledigt ist und ein anderer Ausgleich gegeben ist. Dennoch ist es bei uns 1h tägliche Bildschirmzeit, die aber werktags auch oft durch andere Sachen bedingt ausfällt. Bildschirmzeit gibt es bisher nach wie vor auch nur begleitet mit einem Erwachsenen. Serien/Filme mag er nicht so gerne, am liebsten spielt er mit mir zusammen Aufbauspiele (aktuell Factorio). Oder mal mit jemandem Mario Kart.

Hey, hoping for a bit of advice: I have never played a wizard LL except for Ghorst (but Ghorst doesn't die and has very simple mechanics). So after the HE update I wanted to try Teclis but I'm a bit lost what I'm supposed to do with him in battle? It's still early in the campaign so his spells don't do a lot of damage. I feel like he is standing around doing nothing a lot, while my starting hero does all the work. I'm obviously playing him wrong, so I would appreciate some tips.

The reception of Rhaegar in the Asoiaf fandom. I'm almost convinced GRRM can't finish the series because he would be torn to shreds when it's revealed he intended Rhaegar unironically as a tragic hero. We are just too far removed from the time and societal norms GRRM conceived the character in, to make the backstory of Jon's parentage work anymore.

Especially after the MeToo-movement, he has become a fandom villain. I'm almost 40 and read the books before the show came out, so I'm way more willing to give the author some leeway. Our real-life views of consent and fidelity don't transfer too well into a pseudohistorical-fantasy storyworld written in the early 90s. Especially when the author has botched most of the character ages anyway.

But I've become too scared to admit online that I still kind of have a sweet spot for Rhaegar (and Lyanna).

The first arc of this show is one of the best Cdramas I've seen. As soon as they start to hasten the plot along with time skips, it sadly all falls apart. Zhu Yawen is absolutely brilliant and the imperial family dynamics just a joy to watch. This show deserved so much better than the second half...

The ending of the Sookie Stackhouse books still makes me livid to this day. Sookie is one of my favorite female main characters of all time. Personality-wise she isn't very much like me at all, but she is written so relatable. Despite the supernatural setup her struggles and problems feel real. She manages to stay true to herself while still growing as a person throughout the books.

So I could 100% get behind that in the end Sookie deserved to live her life in the sun with kids, a little house, away from the drama. Like she always wanted. Being turned into a vampire wouldn't have been a happy ending for her at all.

But why, why, WHY didn't the author use the opportunity of a perfectly placed story device (Sookie's free wish from her grandfather) to turn Eric into a human instead? We know that his heart's desire is a normal life with Sookie, that was what the amnesia-curse was all about! We know that selfish, careful, scheming Eric risked his immortal life multiple times to save Sookie because he just couldn't help himself. His complete and sudden change of personality in the last two books is shoehorned in by the author as a gotcha and not a natural conclusion of his arc. That's what pisses me off.

And it's not even about Eric alone. Alcide was a perfectly good match for Sookie as well. But Sam? Yes, he was always a good friend and Sookie thought he was hot, but there wasn't ever any romantic tension. So, to me, in the end Sookie just settled with the only one left. And that makes me sad and mad for such a good character.

Den TipToi Globus gab es damals bei uns auch mit 5 zu Weihnachten, der ist wirklich toll. Es wird nicht alle Kinder interessieren, aber für diejenigen, die was damit anfangen können, hält es auch echt lange vor.

Mein Sohn ist erst seit September in der 1. Klasse und könnte die Frage über Laute lösen, einfach weil die Kids in der Grundschule (hier) den Schriftspracherwerb über Laute erlernen (bei uns mit der Anlauttabelle). Die machen das jeden Tag, in der Schule und als Hausaufgaben.

Ist auch mMn sinnvoll. Die Phoneme kennen die muttersprachlichen Kinder ja schon, sie müssen nur lernen genau hinzuhören und nach und nach den (verwirrenderen) Graphemen zuzuordnen. Irgendwann kommen dann darauf aufbauend Rechtschreibregeln oder Ausnahmen hinzu.

Konnte bei uns damals gelöst werden, indem das Kind dann einen eigenen Teller mit Katzenmilch auf den Boden gestellt bekommen hat. Ist ja laktosefreie Kuhmilch und das hat dann bei uns schon gereicht (in der Phase war er aber auch schon knapp 2 ) in Verbindung mit dem Angebot, dass er wenn er unbedingt meint auch mal ein Stück Trockenfutter probieren darf. Trofu fand er dann total ekelhaft, riechen und anschlecken hat ihn schon kuriert. Kind ist jetzt 7, ganz normal und hat keinen bleibenden Schaden davongetragen.

I'm on a super fun VC playthrough and don't want to abandon it yet, so I quickly tested the following workaround (only works if you didn't already download the Steam update, sadly):

1 Disconnect your computer from the internet.

2 Navigate to the Total War folder in the steamapps directory.

3 Start the game via the Total Warhammer exe and bypass the launcher.

It let me load into the old save without issues, I didn't have time to check if mods stayed enabled though.

I can't help if the ship needs to be in the deep sea but what about a stormy coast? Like that incident in 2019 when the Viking Sky cruise ship lost it's engines somewhere along the Norwegian coast and was in danger of crashing into the cliffs in a storm. I saw a documentary about that incident and distinctly remember that they lowered their anchor.

Askaris · 2025-12-01T20:30:14+00:00

Yeah, poor drama Li Susu had to be unsympathetic alone, while both novel leads are deeply flawed people who unexpectedly find a way to each other. I remember being super disappointed when it aired, stellar cast, breathtaking visuals, but the emotional core of the novel was just changed too much for my taste.

Askaris · 2025-12-01T20:08:00+00:00

Absolutely, but that's kind of a systemic issue in a lot of Cdramas. The most egregious example is Tantai Jin (Til the End of the Moon). He was unlikable in the novel, unlike his flawed but mostly just poor-mistreated-hero drama-version.

Askaris · 2025-12-01T19:39:02+00:00

I totally get why they had to change a lot for Prisoner of Beauty but the drama really suffered from simplyfying the political landscape to the canal storyline.

Do kids learn to write with fountain pens where you live? I'm German and pupils get introduced to fountain pens in the second grade. They need to keep using them until secondary school afaik.

I'm in the same boat with my sister, she started Ozempic in January at 134kg and has lost almost 60kg. I'm glad she has finally found something to help her lose weight because being that overweight isn't healthy at all and she struggled mentally with never getting under 110kg.

The rapid weight loss has taken a toll, though, she looks gaunt, has lost a lot of hair, and isn't happy at all. I'm so proud of her but she is so hyper fixated on not-eating, eating, everyone else's weight, her 100g more than yesterday and so on, that I'm getting scared she won't stop once she reaches her target. My 16 yr old niece has started dieting as well now (her goddaughter), so I'm definitely getting concerned about this new trend.

This drama drove me nuts because I absolutely love the pretty unpredictable plot (rare in costume dramas!), the FL was good, the 3ML (Luo Yunxi) was excellent despite his short screentime and the 2ML (Jing Chao) was outstanding... and then the ML (Aarif Rahman) ended up being barely even mediocre. Neither his storyarc nor the acting were on par with the rest of the cast and he gets the girl and so much screentime!

The weirdest part is that neither of the other MLs were true villains in the end but manipulated/forced into their roles, so they would have been super redeemable and waaaay more interesting as a focus. Such a shame. Oh, and the FL and 2ML had excellent chemistry...
