@sophieschmieg @quintessence @aud @mekkaokereke there's a kind of power in victimhood, psychologically speaking.

You get to leverage your victim status to get some benefits. You get sympathy from others. You're not to blame, even if you're part of the problem. And you don't have to change anything and take responsibility.

It can be a cozy place!

Getting rid of the "weak woman, evil man" narrative was quite a bit of psychological work for myself.

@NeonPurpleStar @me_the_fl00f @redfern judging from just the public tenders that I see in Germany and in IT, we have very much been waking up our military infrastructure from deep sleep over the last years.

@youronlyone wait, an English "we" always includes the listener? Is that what you're saying there?

I thought it's like in my language, German: it's either clear from context who you're referring to as we, or you need to awkwardly clarify.

A very clever thing to disambiguate by having two words.

@james @botvolution I'm interested in the answer, but would spontaneously say: much higher than the percentage of people that are diagnosed by a medical professional.

@kaia @n_to das letzte, was ich aus einer Waldorfschule hörte, war, dass von Eltern gefordert wurde (mit schriftlicher "Selbstverpflichtung"), die "Screen time" ihrer Kinder auf eine absurd kleine Zahl Minuten am Tag zu reduzieren.

Damit waren sie für uns raus, das Kind dreht stop motion Filme am eigenen Tablet, wir sind ein Bildschirm-positiver Haushalt...

@supernovae @vyr @atomicpoet it's not exclusive in any way, though. Just small.

@supernovae @vyr @atomicpoet I like it here precisely because not everyone is here. Makes it a nice, civilized place, mostly.

@aaribaud I love micro fiction. And you managed to connect all four of the images! Loved reading it :)
