  • The original German wording is “Spieglein, Spieglein an der Wand: wer ist die schönste Frau in dem ganzen Land?”. Literally translated that would be “Mirror, mirror on the wall: who is the most beautiful woman in all the land.” I would let “hottest” slide as a more contemporary translation.


  • That’s the beauty about open source: it isn’t beholden to the whims of anyone. If disagree with the Linux Foundation, you’re free to make your own independent fork. Others that agree with you can then start contributing to the fork. And this isn’t a purely theoretical scenario as it has happend with other open source projects before.




  • Unfortunately it won’t work like that. When the educated move away or don’t move there to begin with, the idiot density increases. The local businesses will have a hard time finding educated labor and will fail or be forced to move, too. The states will become poorer and suffer from that but the idiots who drove away those that could’ve helped won’t see that it was their own doing. They will blame the liberals, foreigners or some other scapegoat to have taken their jobs and with their now decisive majority vote whomever joins in pointing fingers at their chosen “oppressors”.




  • Die Begründung durch ein “traditionelles Familienbild” halte ich für falsch, das Gesetz halte ich aber dennoch für richtig. Letztendlich ist Leihmutterschaft ethisch äußerst fragwürdig. Man erkauft sich den Rechtsanspruch gegen die Mutter, ihr Kind nach der Geburt abgeben zu müssen. Das führt in vielen Fällen unweigerlich zu Ausbeutung, insbesondere wenn man sich Leihmütter in armen Ländern suchen kann. Ganz davon abgesehen, wenn sich die Bestelleltern dazu entschließen, das Kind oder bei Mehrlingen eins der Kinder nicht haben zu wollen. Einige Länder, die früher kommerzielle Leihmutterschaften erlaubt haben, wie etwa Indien, Thailand und Russland, haben diese mittlerweile ganz oder zumindest für ausländische Bestelleltern verboten.

    Es ist auch eine Fehldarstellung, dass plötzlich allen unfruchtbaren oder homosexuellen diese Option genommen wird. Das war bisher auch nur für Reiche und Privilegierte eine Option, allen anderen wurde nichts genommen.

    Man muss aufpassen, denn Leihmutterschaft und andere Positionen werden nicht automatisch richtig, nur weil die Falschen dagegen sind.










  • What in this article had you jump to the conclusion that he wanted to chop his penis off? Dysphoria is a thing, no questions about that, but the vast majority of men don’t want their penis removed and from the article it doesn’t seem this man is an exception.

    First of all, self mutilation is a known phenomenon of psychotic episodes. While this is the first documented case of penile amputation that’s also the reason the case study was conducted and we’re reading about it at all.

    Next, he has years of depression in his past. For a depression do be diagnosed he has to be under some form of psychological care. While no guarantee that greatly improves the change of dysphoria being diagnosed, especially if it were severe enough to resort to self amputation with an axe.

    Ultimately, once he came to his senses he did everything in his power to save his penis. If it was his great plan to amputate his penis while making it look like a drug-fueled accident or even if just wanted it removed but couldn’t do so while sober, why would he put it on ice? Shouldn’t he be glad or relieved it’s gone? If he was dysphoric, I would expect him to make sure it doesn’t get to the hospital with him.

    Everything here implies that he didn’t want to mutilate or amputate his penis and in that case implying it was intentional quite insulting, too.
