@clacke @strypey @tbaldauf @Br3nda @AccordionBruce the US have bigger gaps between their cities than China? really? I've been on a two-night train tour within China, and it seemed quite empty between the large cities. but since that was in my teenage years and I had no part in the planning, my perception could be way off.

Not trying to question your statement here, it's just counter-intuitive for me and I'd like to know more.

At bedtime, my husband reads, then I sing them sometimes I stay for a bit, cuddling and sometimes talking. Today's topics for that last part included, in order:

- What weighted blankets are filled with
- Why it probably isn't lead because that's toxic
- An in-depth explanation of the effects of lead ingestion through paint or fuel fines and how it's irreversible
- other things that we learned over time are toxic
- how regulation by the state is important to keep us safe from stuff that's toxic
- why world peace is generally preferable to greed, even if we agree that having nice things is nice.

Then afterwards, I continued my "AI is stealing my job"-crisis on the couch with my husband.

Going to bed now.

@morph @triplingual my thoughts exactly!

@GreenSkyOverMe @ElisabethK nicht unter diesem Kanzler. 😕

@megaphon @katzentratschen was ist ein Weltmeister-Brötchen?

@lain @kaia @n_to Menschen, die mehr vom Journalismus erwarten als eine Umformulierung der Pressemitteilung?

@lain @kaia @n_to naja, Journalismus bezahlen halt.

@_elena @CarveHerName oh, her birth name wasn't Curie? Didn't even know that.

@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 :)
