I dont agree with the original commenter, but come on.

This is a thread about babies.

Do you really think people need a religion to see that throwing their dead bodies in a septic tank is an incredibly disrespectful and dehumanizing act?

I dont need to wish for a christian burial to understand the implications of christian nuns doing this.

Tell me you know nothing about buddhism without telling me you know nothing about buddhism. While we’re at it, opinions on hinduism?

Smaller religions have been sacrificing children since the stone age.

I’m not saying its all bad, but singling out two religions in your general area and blaming the problem on them being “political” as if religion isn’t based on dictating social norms is ridiculous.

I agree with the freedom to believe, though. Doesnt mean that there arent inherent dangers to this stuff. You’re in a thread about murdered babies, please keep that in mind.

TIHI

You can substitute it with y’all or “people who live on a continent with opossums and flaunt them at me”. I’m jealous.

Yes.

You people always present me pictures of possums as if this isn’t the cutest shit you’ve ever seen.

Dont forget doing the laundry. People forget that doing the laundry was hard, time-consuming and neverending physical labor until very recently.

stone age humans: and then those dumb fucks started farming and now they’re trapped in concrete and work 40 hours a week, all year, LOL!

Paar Tage später aber: Danke für die ausführliche antwort. ;) genau für sowas bin ich auf lemmy.

People who come by everyday for a week to help out and give advice? For free? If you gave birth at a normal hospital?

Edit: i answered to the wrong thread, my bad.

Das H in “gehen” wird nicht als h ausgesprochen. (ˈɡeːən) Hier die Lautschrift, falls du mir nicht glaubst. Ich habs am Anfang auch abgestritten. “Der Weg” und “weg” verwenden identische buchstaben, aber die Aussprache ist unterschiedlich. Das “ch” in machen und michael sind zwei verschiedene Laute. Das “ch” in “Chef” ist ein sch ( ʃɛf ). Nur kleine, schnelle Beispiele.

Nichts gegen die Eigenheiten vom Englischen beim Lesen. Ich sitze nur gerade in einer Fortbildung um Deutsch als Zweitsprache zu unterrichten und du würdest dich wundern, wie abgedreht unsere Sprache ist.

Beispiel Zeitformen: wir verwenden für die Zukunft beim Sprechen in der Regel das Präsens. “Ich gehe morgen zur Schule”. Für die Vergangenheit benutzen wir beim Sprechen eine andere Zeitform (Perfekt) als beim Schreiben (Präteritum) - beides natürlich mit Ausnahmen. Erklär das alles mal einem Engländer.

Von willkürlich gegenderten Artikeln (nicht nötig auf englisch) und unseren Fällen (oh man) will ich gar nicht erst anfangen.

Englisch hat Auspracheeigenheiten, aber deutschsprachige sollten echt nicht mit Steinen werfen.

Inwiefern ist deutsch bitte ein weniger chaotischer clusterfuck als Englisch?

I think English native speakers are heavily overestimating the weirdness of their own language and severely underestimating the weirdness of other languages.

Sincerely, a German.

No, we dont.

thats not fear. he’s on the ground. thats unchecked sadism and anger issues. they think no one is watching, so they act like they would if there were no cameras.

i have the vague sense that I’m too much of a city person to truly grasp how horrifying that is.

Like I know that people have been trampled to death by horses and I know that a horse is damn heavy, but my brain still struggles to decide if this is attempted murder on screen or not.

edit, because I had to look it up: An average horse weighs around 1100 pounds/500 kilograms, not including the scum sitting on top.

I feel that French is a rather thankless language in comparison.

if you speak french pretty well, its still not good enough. if you speak a bit of french, its taken for granted. if you speak no french, good luck getting anyone to talk to you.

meanwhile, speak three words of Arabic and people start cheering.

on the upside: Nothing helped revive my French just as much as being forced to use it (since English gets rejected). And people did seem to be patient with my attempts, which is worth a lot.

I’m German and I feel for the people trying to learn our insanely annoying language, only to get switched to English immediately. I’m fairly certain it’s easier to learn French on the street than to learn German.

i once politely asked some middle-aged lady in Paris a question in English. She understood me perfectly fine and proceeded to give me detailed directions in french.

I’m still not sure what that was about.

(I’m very obviously not British or US-American, so that wasn’t it.)
