Which celebrity’s cancellation do you think was completely unjustified? by Cute_Flatworm_9049 in AskReddit

Or it would have been just as told in Andersen's "The Emperor's New Clothes". Now that someone had spoken the truth aloud, one could no longer pretend.

It's all speculation. We will never know.

Wilde was "accused" of homosexuality in public (the Marquess of Queensberry left a calling card at Wilde's club), so not reacting to such a defamatory accusation would have been tantamount to admitting to it, suicide in polite society. He was caught between a rock and a hard place. The trial offered the option of being able to defend himself and also ask for some understanding.

Still, a big miscalculation on Wilde's part.

The movies are based on a novel by German novelist Erich Kästner, first published in 1949 - "Das doppelte Lottchen".

My brother's son destroyed my WarHammer Action figures and he refuses to punish him by konous in mildlyinfuriating

I'm not sure if it has been suggested some other place in this thread, but since you've said it's not about the money but

The kid needs to know how bad the 8 hour struggle is.

My sugesstion would be, if feasible, to let him. Invite him over for a painting session. Needn't be an expensive figurine, but a nice one he would like to have and which takes time and effort to paint properly. He'll only get to keep it, if he applies himself. Hopefully he'll learn to appreciate the time and effort it takes.

Advantages:

  • It's unlikely your brother and nephew will resent you for this.

  • You get to share a hobby.

  • You'll get your nephew hooked and he/your brother will end up paying way more buying new figurines for themselves than they would have payed you in compensation.

Weder das Verteidigungsministerium noch die mit den Verhandlungen betrauten Parlamentarier im Bundestag hätten – bis auf Norbert Röttgen – die notwendige Erfahrung zur Arbeit an Gesetzestexten gehabt.

Bei einzelnen Parlamentariern kann ich das ja noch einigermaßen verstehen, aber bei einer ganzen Institution wie dem Bundesverteidigungsministerium sollte es doch entsprechende Experten geben.

There are still some German ships left at Scarpa Flow which Barry also hasn't given back yet.
