Some people like their red meat actually dripping red. Maybe it's similar with fish; though it's by no means necessarily the same people. For myself, it's fresher and juicier and there's less to distract from the taste of the thing itself.
Obviously I do not appreciate sushi soaked in sauces and toppings.

If the narrative shifts like that it'll be because he's no longer considered a threat.

Hello, fellow reasonable approximation of a human being.
Just spitballing - maybe she talked about it with her friends and they pressured her to go full feminist on the matter. Maybe she's a doormat who genuinely disliked the intimacy but went along with it to avoid confrontation. Maybe your perception of the whole evening is off by 90°. Who knows.
Overall, I have no advice to give.

Do you actually need to clean your ears?
I feel a bit like with the recent discussion about pubic shaving. Yeah, sure, you can do that if you like...but is it actually worth the bother?

Man, Golfing actually looks comfy. I always thought it was stuffy and pretentious and frankly more than a little silly as far as sports go, but looking at this video all that I see is people having some calm fun outdoors in nice weather and nice (though articifial) landscape. Not that I'm about to start golfing, but I hereby withdraw my unjustified dislike for it.

And then it's not politics, it's basic decency, and if you can't understand that then you are the problem.
I apologize for this heat-post.

Well, I for one didn't know (and still don't, since nobody's spoonfeeding)...but then again, I can live with not getting all the implications about US insider baseball.

Seems to have worked! AFAIK nobody tried to kill him at the time.

Wild speculation on my part - might this also be a strategy of deterrence, providing an heir who is strictly not a friend of Trump's enemies, so as to disincentivice further assassination attempts? Along the lines of "if we kill him, the next-in-line is even worse!".

I see the same pattern regularly.
- Not eating X will help.
- Eating Y in addition to normal meals will help.
- Eating organic food will help.
- "This doesn't count."
- "Actually the household chores I do are all the exercise I need."
- "No I didn't gobble up half the contents of the fridge in the middle of the night, no idea why it's all gone.".
- "I only eat 2000 calories a day and even just 800 twice a week, that's why I'm a skinny 350 pounds and my belly sags to the ground when I sit down."

I repeat myself, but yes, seeing BLM in a German context was baffling indeed. We didn't ship them here as slaves, they came on their own!

We can be pretty sure that there were many plainclothes government agents and informants in the crowd, encouraging others to break the law.
Sauce?

This is true. I was going to give advice based on my experience, but I have indeed worked only at very dysfunctional places, so I suppose the better advice would be "try to determine whether the company you work for actually functions reasonably well, and if not, go work somewhere else.".

Purely going off of the China example, it seems to me that one can see the problem as people being incentivized to study more than is needed to establish a hierarchy, which is a waste of time and effort best cut short by limiting the time spent studying, or as the entire structure of the thing being perverse because it requires studying unnecessary material that could be ignored at no cost if the exams didn't establish hierarchy based on the ability to study useless information.
I ramble, but I do think there are multiple angles of attack one could take there, and banning cram schools is just the easiest one, rather than necessarily the best.

Good luck.
How are you holding up morally/emotionally? Are you alright with kicking out your friend (or "friend", depending on how you see that by now and what friendship means to you)?

Agreed. Besides, it's unhealthy for the feet to be shod all day long.

Yeah, agreed on this as well. If it's not meant to be used, it shouldn't be a feature. I mean, I hope that our code mechanics have enough control over the whole thing to be able to disable things that explicitely aren't meant to be used.

Beats me. I never block, and I tentatively opine that blocking shouldn't even be a feature on the Motte.

Yea, the Federal Minister of Defense has made a proposal to that point, but I wouldn't count on it going anywhere. I's the kind of thing that gets shot down regularly.
So far there have been no tangible, substantial changes that I am aware of. 100 billion € were provided to the military as a special fund, but I'm not aware of anything that would have come of it. Given our MoD's reputation for rampant grift and wastefulness, money alone will probably not fix anything.

Germany's military in particular was just in a disastrous state before the war that it would have been more of a liability than an asset.
Has this changed?

It's never absolutely too late, but the earlier the relatively better.
Pretty wide range of sized available. Depending on your bulk, the bagginess of your clothing and the option of bringing a backpack, I'm very confident most people would be able to conceal something identifiable as a machete on their person, under most circumstances.
