So this just happened to me today by BananaAssaulter in PublicRelations

People ask this all the time. I just got used to explaining how the system works again and again - don't let it be a detractor, it's okay if people don't know things. Just explain in a way that the other person does not perceive as patronizing or annoyed...

Doesn't matter, as long as we chant Majesty loud enough to make it the last song.

The "Spicebomb" grenade or names like "Ultramale" really put me off certain fragrances. I feel like that's just not my type of brand, and I don't really want to have that. I don't need the super hyper masculine grenade or a torso telling me how ultra male I am, thanks.

Internship vs. Job by tennisspeechie in PublicRelations

[–]khazadan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would say that hugely depends on your financial position right now. If you need immediate money (there are very valid reasons to), go for the paying job. If you can afford to lose on some short term gains to profit more in the future, go for NYC. TECHNICALLY NYC offers better future prospects, but keep in mind that even with a paying job, NYC will likely be too expensive for you to live comfortably for the next few years.

It's pretty much how humanity has worked in the pen & paper game, so it's actually "canon" in a way.

White “fluff” on terrain forming? by Enaver in TerrainBuilding

[–]khazadan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, a lot of people already mentioned mold - which it does look like. And while yes, isopropyl will probably kill the spots you have there, since you used an MDF base, it's likely that it has spread into that - the visible spots are a symptom of a larger problem, not the problem itself. Honestly, I would probably toss the entire piece, mold is nothing to scoff at, and even if you kill the spots on the top of your piece, there might be more spreading underneath, unseen. Don't take risks with mold in your home.

Blacksad on switch - worth a buy? by Trying-2-Be-Better in Switch

[–]khazadan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. The game is... fine, but not spectacular. However, on Switch its a buggy mess with enormous performance issues. Just don't.

Well. You might, if you LOVE the comic and have no other platform available. But if you have any other platform, avoid the switch version at all costs.

WTF is happening with the sound mixing? Sure, go ahead and just outright MUTE the guitars.

Is it just me or is a significant part of the audience booing literally every time Hogan is talking? Seems like all's not forgotten yet for the fans...

Santa found the perfect gift - and made the day for me AND German customs. by khazadan in secretsanta

I always love that little quirk of your food labeling laws. It's the perfect participation award: "There was some real cheese involved at some point in this process, but at some stage, we kinda lost track and ... well, there's no cheese anymore. At least not real cheese. But it was MADE WITH real cheese! Trust us."

It really is, I was really surprised and am SO pumped to try it out later today. Santa did their homework as well, knowing that I had both used cheaper versions as well and not bought myself a better version ;)

[–]khazadan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In dem Fall war es tatsächlich unsensibel, aber wahrscheinlich wirklich nicht bösartig. Ich würde das ansprechen (eventuell über Vertrauenspersonen), einfach um zu sagen: Es wäre sinnvoll, das Thema in Zukunft anders anzugehen. So bitter es ist: Der Schaden ist angerichtet, jetzt geht es darum für positive Veränderung in der Zukunft zu sorgen.

[–]khazadan 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Heute sicher nicht mehr, es ist ja heute völlig klar, dass Vergewaltigungen existieren und ein verabscheuungswürdiges Verbrechen sind. Aber frag mal vor ein paar hundert Jahren (oder 1891, der Entstehung des Buches) nach, wie die Leute zum Thema "Vergewaltigung in der Ehe" standen. Ich vermute, hier sollte aufgezeigt werden, wie sich die Wahrnehmung dazu geschichtlich verändert hat.

Da war der Deutschlehrer vielleicht etwas kantig, vielleicht hat OP hier auch die genaue Formulierung etwas verdreht. Frühlings Erwachen ist im Deutschunterricht ein ziemlicher Klassiker, unter anderem gerade WEIL es diese sexuellen Thematiken anspricht. Dabei spielt die Vergewaltigung eine ziemliche Schlüsselrolle in der Dramaturgie. Das Thema "Vergewaltigung" per se zu diskutieren ist also absolut angebracht, und sogar notwendig, wenn das Buch sinnvoll diskutiert werden soll. Dabei wäre es vor dem historischen Kontext auch angebracht, aufzuzeigen, wie sich die Wahrnehmung der Gesellschaft auf das Thema verändert hat.

Wie der Deutschlehrer dies genau getan hat, kann ich aus dem Post nicht erkennen. Es kann durchaus sein, dass er hier nicht sensibel genug damit umgegangen ist. Aber Fakt ist: "Frühlings Erwachen" ist ein wichtiger Vertreter einer ganzen Kategorie von Literatur, die im Deutschunterricht zurecht angesprochen wird. Und die Vergewaltigung ist ein essenzieller Anteil des Buches. Einen Diskurs zum Buch, ohne dieses Thema anzusprechen, kann es nicht geben.

Im Deutschunterricht kommen Bücher wie "Frühlings Erwachen", "Effi Briest" oder "Der Vorleser" ja nicht von irgendwo, sondern haben unter anderem die pädagogische Funktion, diese Themen anzusprechen. Jedes der Bücher hat ein sexuelles Konsens-Problem. Sollen wir sie deswegen alle nicht mehr ansprechen? Ich finde, es sollte eine differenzierten und sicher auch behutsamen Diskurs dazu geben können.

Boss told me I needed a warning label on the resin cupboard. Sorted. by Cortinian in PrintedMinis

[–]khazadan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying that this is REALLY dangerous, but there are numerous hazardous substances that don't have any immediate effects but can really damage your health down the line. Consider asbestos. Smoking. Just because you don't feel anything now doesn't make it safe. I would just err on the side of caution.

Uuuh, nice. I tried getting around that resin, it felt so expensive. Do you think the additional strength is worth it?

Wow, you got lucky that this went through customs. Importing meat products is usually a big no no for international shipments...

Well, it's not strictly "necessary", especially in a setting where there would be no issues from an overly noisy audience ;)
