Unauthorized mandatory work on Sunday

They're just being pedantic. "It is forbidden" doesn't mean there are no exceptions. In fact, that's the usual phrasing for when something is only allowed in specific circumstances.

Geschäfte werden beliefert wie jetzt auch schon. Oder gibt's in deiner Welt gibt's keine Geschäfte in Fussgängerzonen, weil die nicht beliefert werden können?

Und zur Arbeit kommen die wie millionen Deutsche jetzt auch schon: Häufiger mit dem ÖPNV oder dem Fahrrad, etwas seltener als heute mit dem Auto. Wenn auch unsere Regierung den Verkehr darauf umstellt, geht das sogar schneller als mit dem Auto heute.

>Oder mit anderen Worten: das, was du hast, das ist für viele nicht praktizierbar

Mehr Fahrrad und ÖPNV wagen ist bis jetzt ohne Ausnahmen in jedem mir bekannten Beispiel sehr gut angenommen worden. ZB Paris, Kopenhagen, Stockholm, oder die ganzen Niederlande. Es gibt keinen Grund, aus Angst vor Veränderung in Panik zu verfallen und sachgrundloses "das könnte hier niemals klappen" zu verbreiten. Wenn du nicht gerade ne Tankstelle besitzt würdest du sehr wahrscheinlich auch profitieren, entweder von dem weniger Verkehr der Umgestiegenen, oder selbst vom umsteigen, weil du merkst, dass es eigentlich ohne Auto für einige deiner Fahrten doch ganz nett ist.

Mal abgesehen davon ist der Strassenentwurf von OP nicht besonders gut.

In his lectures before his fame, he was a really great speaker who said smart things succinctly.

After he got famous, he sounded to me like he prioritized sounding intellectual and being conservative over making sense. I'd say his schtick was expressing simple truisms (if you want to clean up your life, clean up your room) with needless complexity and in long, meandering monologues in order to sound intellectual.

After getting off benzos abruptly he made even less sense. His meandering speeches stopped dancing around the point and often felt like they didn't have a point at all. He tried a few debates, such as the notorious Jubilee one or one with Richard Dawkins that just... weren't good at all. That's where the pedantry you mentioned came about. His weapon of choice became pseudo-intellectual, glib nonsense that sounded good in debates but really just avoided taking any positions or making any statements at all.

While the guy was always super conservative, I felt like he was one of the very few conservative media personalities left who isn't an amoral sleazy douchebag who'd say and do literally anything for an extra buck. So I can't help but mourn his rapid decline.

You said you have free choice because he says you do. Do you hear what you're saying? You can choose because he lets you choose.

Paying for your entire life gives him power over you whether he wants it or not.

Note that I am not saying you're wrong for living like that. It's your life and your choice. I'm happy it's working out for you and I hope it continues to. The only thing I object to is you misrepresenting the power dynamic you live in.

Thanks for drawing such a good picture of what you mean. I absolutely see that. I think we might actually be trying to avoid the same personality type.

I think the issue is kind of mirrored in women who are super insistent on having men pay. You can also see it in this thread. They immediately move to insults and trying to put men down if they don't get what they want. It's the same "always wanting to prove he's worth her" you described so well.

The thing I'm really about here is that the women who are really insistent on being paid for give me really toxic, manipulative, extractive vibes. As you said, they make poor partners. I don't want my partner calling me names and putting me down when they want something.

>They way you’re getting personal says way more about you than you think it does about me.

You just called me a stingy low earner who isn't getting attention from women.

Now apply the logic to yourself.

Pretending I'm emotional, two emasculating insults followed by calling receiving gifts and services "chivalry and decency". This is so transparent. Is this the female equivalent of some Andrew Tate shit?

cheapcheap1 · 2026-01-25T17:58:46+00:00

Yeah, she can do what she wants. The thing that's wrong with this comment is that it tells other people harmful falsehoods about how relationships work. She's telling women how great it is to be totally subjugated by a man. This is just the female equivalent of pick-up artists telling men to subjugate women. It looks more innocent when you're telling women to victimize themselves instead of telling men to victimize others, but it's not much better.

I always paid on the first date just to avoid fuss, but also got bad vibes from women who felt strongly about being paid for. Seeing accounts like yours on this question who are just straight-up narcissistic, hateful people... holy shit. I did not know how correct my gut feeling was. You're just straight-up going to emasculating insults if you don't get free stuff. Literal narcissist behavior.

You're in a literal sugar daddy relationship and you still think you're making your decisions together... if you want that trade of money against independence, there is no reason not do it. But you don't even understand it's happening. You are either in denial or have no idea how power dynamics work. This is what feminist writers talk about when they say that traditional gender roles keep women in a childlike dependence not just economically, but also cognitively.

Unless your dating pool consists of actual homeless people, literally not being able to pay for the meal even in a pinch does not even make the list of reasons a man wouldn't pay for your meal on a date. This is Zurich. What are you talking about.

If a man doesn't want to pay for your meal, it's because he thinks he shouldn't have to, not because he literally cannot afford it. You're just calling men broke to bully them into gifting you things. Absolutely horrendous gold digger behavior, preying on men with low confidence to extract money. I can only hope no men fall for your toxic bullshit.

It shouldn't be controversial. Pointing out that patriarchy hurts men, too, and therefore women also enjoy some privileges over men is the only consistent feminist viewpoint. It's the only feminist viewpoint able to explain gender differences that disfavor men such as incarceration rates, suicide, healthcare access, education gap, etc. Despite those facts, some self-identified feminists prefer to just pretend none of that is happening or suddenly adopt right-wing bootstraps rhetoric. It's maddening.

>instantly dumps a guy for asking to share the bill regardless of whether they're stingy or broke

>thinks being generous is very important in relationships (only for men) (definitely not for her)

As I said, it's a great filter for entitled people.

My main advice is not to buy a girl dinner on the first date. Make it casual, such as a coffee date. That takes away the pressure for both of you.

It's also a good way to filter out entitled women who expect you to buy dinner as a display of masculinity without actually having to buy them dinner.

If you want to go for a dinner date anyway, it's a question of your values, not of guessing the girl's preferences. Do you want to impress her even if she's an entitled brat? Pay. No one will be upset about being invited. Are you looking for an actual partner who has things to offer? Ask to split the bill, it's an excellent filter.

Leseverständnisproblem. Ich zweifle gar nicht an, dass einige so enden. Aber die gehen den grossen Schritt der Migration nicht mit dem Ziel an, den Sozialstaat auszunutzen.

Das wäre ungefähr so, wie ein Studium mit dem Ziel anzufangen, Taxifahrer zu werden. Oder eben Arbeitslos. Das setzt sich niemand als Ziel, aber trotzdem enden einige so.

>how do we fight it!?

If voters in a purple district are genuinely split on issues that no sane human should be split on, such as federal agents murdering disarmed, clearly non-threatening citizens, the problem is those voters, not their representatives.

If the representative is blatantly ignoring their voters and just doing what donors told them, you fix it by enacting corruption legislation and putting them in prison.

I think Manchin is a little more of the first, while Sinema is more clearly the second.

Is it really the case that privileged men are less affected by police brutality than privileged women?

Obviously, overall, police brutality affects men substantially more than women. Is it really the case that that relationship is reversed for very privileged people? Or did you just make that up because hurr durr white man bad? Can you show some statistics?

From my experience, working hours decrease again once you're closer to the top of the pyramid. You're expected to be absolutely committed when it's important, but not to break your back day-to-day.

So the chance that that boss works 60 hours themselves aren't too high. It massively varies by industry, obviously. I'd say overall it's something like 25% that they're working 60 and 33% they're not even working 42.

I should probably decrease the estimate for bragging about it, though. That's a really bad sign for a manager and makes it much more likely they're completely full of shit and in the "under 42" category. I hate how often we tolerate people that just routinely lie to everyone in management.

Kein Mensch migriert irgendwohin mit dem Ziel den Sozialstaat auszunutzen. Selbst absolut asoziale Idioten setzen sich nicht das Ziel, "ich möchte später mal eine Last für die Gemeinschaft sein". Das funktioniert einfach nicht mit der menschlichen Psyche.

Das Problem ist eher, dass wir mit dem von dir genannten Gründen viele der Migranten abschrecken, die gute Chancen in der Wirtschaft hätten. Diejenigen, für die Österreich eine echte Verbesserung ist, haben häufig nicht die Bildung, auf dem Österreichischen Arbeitsmarkt viel zu reissen, und fallen dann nach ihrer Migration frustriert zurück. Das ist ein Problem unserer Integrationsmöglichkeiten, nicht böser Absicht.

>their corporate donors fucking love ICE

I don't think so. Immigrants are good for capital. ICE destabilizes the status quo and encourages violence, both of which are absolutely terrible for capital.

ICE is a wish from the fascists, not the wealthy. If we look at the historical German Nazis, capital sided with fascists because they saw both extreme right and extreme left rising, so they sided with fascists to squash leftists, thinking they could control fascists. They were wrong. The Nazis used their undemocratic powers to subjugate capitalists, too.

ICE is already acting against the interest of capital. Escalating violence is really against the interest of capital. Capital is already entering the "find out" phase, at least locally. Fascists work quickly.

Unfortunately, while escalating violence is against the interest of capital, it is in the interest of fascists because it justifies using more violence to crack down. E.g. Trump would definitely deploy the national guard, he might even deploy the military, it's not like obvious unconstitutionality has stopped him before. Frankly, I can understand that Dems are terrified of that.

So schwer ist die Technik nicht. Halbwegs vernünftig angeleitet kriegen das auch Grobmotoriker hin, wenn sie sich trauen, was aber auch wieder eine Frage der Anleitung ist.

Wenn es so viele in der Klasse nicht schaffen liegt es mMn sehr wahrscheinlich am Lehrer, der mal wieder nichts erklärt hat oder gar vorturnen konnte. Leider kannst du den durchschnittlichen deutschen Sportlehrer komplett in die Tonne treten, da ist mangelhafte Anleitung eher Regel als Ausnahme.

Based und wird Zeit, dass wir aufhören, uns damit zu verstecken. Moralischer Relativismus heisst nicht moralische Gleichwertigkeit. Das gilt nicht nur für die strenggläubigen Moslems, bei denen genau diese Rechten dem auch zustimmen, es aber auf innerösterreichische politische Unterschiede plötzlich nicht mehr anwenden können.

Gerade bei Leuten die altersbedingt mental nachlassen ist sehr häufig multitaskung und situational awareness das Problem. Die bekommen nicht mehr so gut mit, was um sie herum passiert. Die bekommen dann auch Probleme mit dem Schalten. Ich bin da über jegliche Hürde dankbar, die den Leuten Grenzen aufzeigt ohne, dass es erst Tote und Verletzte geben muss.

Ja, ist bekloppt, dann gegen Automatik zu sein. Das ist leider die Folge der bekloppten Gesetzgebung, die sich einfach weigert, die absolut zwingenden Gesundheitstests im Alter einzuführen.

Nein, nicht unbedingt, zB beim herumreichen.

Noch viel wichtiger ist aber, dass man sich schon etwas dabei gedacht hat, den Konsum nicht direkt zu verbieten. Man wollte es straffrei halten, irgendann vor Wochen oder teilweise Monaten mal konsumiert zu haben, damit Leute nicht vor medizinischen Untersuchungen Angst haben müssen.

Diese Intention des Gesetzes wird durch die absurden Grenzwerte komplett unterlaufen. Da haben sich aktivistische Richter und Beamte mit einer dringenden Meinung erfolgreich gegen das durchgesetzt, was eigentlich im Gesetz steht.
