  • At least for me these articles are a bit annoying since it seems that businesses world wide give a shit about the consequences of their actions but news outlets decided to pin the issue on the consumer.

    Don’t get me wrong. I think consumers are at least partially in charge when it comes to decisions about their consuming behavior. And reducing the meat intake is something that is not too hard and can improve the health for some people. But propagating this as the solution to our climate problem and on top not looking into the effect of lower income on nutrition / eating behavior makes me angry. The article just briefly mentions that the government has no success in influencing the prices through taxes.

    At least here in Germany meat is so unbelievably cheap that it’s very understandable people got used to eating it on a daily base. And it’s hard to change this without businesses like supermarkets supporting this with price changes (meat up vegetables down) and an increase in minimal income since environmentally friendly food is currently more expensive than “garbage food”.




  • Thanks for sharing your story. One of my guy friends is the Hagrid Type. Big, hairy, loud. But he also tries to break through his appearance. And I think that’s the whole point:

    Instead of telling “not all men” it’s better (but also more difficult) to show us. Be nice. Hold other men accountable. Things can be changed but first we have to face reality.

    It also saddens me to hear about the manly loneliness that’s caused by the same internalized sexism. I’m glad to hear you found a way out of this, that still lets you be you!


  • Some countries in Europe started to look more into this topic since the number of femicides is growing and becoming more newsworthy it seems.

    A lot of people are biased since sexism is deeply rooted in our society and many don’t realize what’s happening around them if they are not directly affected.

    Just this week I had to discuss with a rather aggressive delivery person who berated me (unprovoked and for a made up reason) until my partner came from another room. As soon as he had to discuss his issue with another man he started to believe the facts and stopped. Actually kinda glad this happened since my partner is also very biased regarding “everyday sexism” since it doesn’t affect him and this was the first time he was able to see it first hand.


  • Abstellerlaubnis kann online nicht erteilt werden, also hänge ich extra einen Zettel an den Briefkasten.

    Naja, wie soll die Zustellperson denn wissen, dass der Zettel von dir ist und nicht von irgendwem da aufgehängt wurde, um Pakete abzugreifen. Die offizielle Vorgabe lautet tatsächlich, dass die diese Zettel ignorieren müssen.

    Wie der Rest der Situation gehandhabt wurde ist natürlich trotzdem ärgerlich. Aber das mit dem Zettel höre ich immer wieder.






  • Ich habe dir keinen bösen Willen unterstellt sondern deine Absicht in Frage gestellt. Dafür dienen diese komischen gebogenen Zeichen mit dem Punkt drunter.

    Und doch, mich stört tatsächlich die Häufung, die sich leider quer durch alle communities zieht, die ich so abonniert habe. Dass ist für mich ein bisschen das selbe wie wenn du neue Serienunterhaltung suchst und dann feststellen musst, dass die fast alle gleich sind. Der politische Beigeschmack nervt mich einfach noch zusätzlich.
