That is an important part of the plot in the german book Qualityland. Really hilarious

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYCRwcz2aV8 is really crazy, that americans seem to think, that you need to be able to get out of everything by yourself. In the line of: If something bad happens to you and you are not able to get out by yourself, then it is your own fault and nobody should help you. Though this is already often talked about.

Another scary thing is how little you like your government (being it of the State or federal). It seems Americans don't want the government to do much, not seeing at as a tool to handle modern problems. Back when I was at Reddit I read a thread about why americans opposed state run free healthcare for all. One user wrote something like "Don't see, why we should solve the price issue by letting the state (so taypayer) pay". The user just ignored the immense power, that a government of a big and wealthy nation has. It can easily press pharma companies to set prices low enough, without stiffling research and innovation. But that would be against freedom, I guess? Really difficult to understand.

Though changing the american system is a big task. Months ago I've seen a good video on youtube on that topic by TypeAston. I think its this one Would Universal Healthcare Really Work in the U.S.?

Maybe Miaou meant the gender gap in medicine. The big difference in studies looking at the medical details (for example of drugs) in female bodies vs in male bodies

Ah, with the "Sonderkommission Wand und Farbe" (eng. Special comission Wall and color), meaning the police troops covering the grafiti with wall color by themselves

Especially in social issues and politics there is no unbiased. In science you can often (not always) rely on evidence, which gets a lot of its own bias (yes, scientific papers have biases) removed by being peer reviewed and supported by many other scientists (hoping to cancel out the internal biases). Though in social issues and politics its very different. Sure, there are scientific papers here too, but they cannot give definite answers on what to do about it. You get a bunch of facts without definitiv reason (like the number of births in a country with only hints on what might (!) influence this number) and politics is often about how things should be, according to people. Very different people eith many different opinions on how things should be.

Probably you could look through the sidebars of many instancesn searching for one, that fits your own view of what is "unbiased". Though not clearly stating what that means socially and politicly can make this difficult.

You only cloned the sketch into the other bodies. You still need to use these sketches in each body to create a pocket. So activate one of the side panels for editing (double clicking on the body in the list, so that the name is bold), then selecting the sketch clone and clicking the pocket symbol in the part design workbench. Set its depth and click ok. Repeat for the other side panel

Her trying to trick Hogwarts elves into freedom is actually part of the books

I really love the continent Zammonien from the books by Walter Moers, like "The 13½ Lives of Captain Bluebear". Just to give you an idea: In one life bluebear goes to nightschool - a school in a mountain lead and taught by an Professor Dr Nachtigaller, who has 7 brains - together with a moutain demon (kind of) and a prince from the 2364. dimension (where everything is made of carpet and people make music on instruments made out of milk) named Qwert Yuiop. Later bluebear gets to the sweet desert, which isn't filled with sand but with sugar. For the nomadic people of the sweet desert he catches the half-stable fatamorgana City "Anagrom Ataf" in a big pool of molten sugar. You get it. Bluebear being the kings of lairs at one point in the book really fits.

Moers wrote multiple books about that continent. I really love them. I just organized a big station based game about that for my local scouts troop. About 60 kids from 7 to 16 years following my story to rescue Zammonien. Easily dumped 150h of work in that game, but it was really great

Which then wouldn't be a legally full verification of your age, thus the legislation would probably require some other means. We currently have a similar discussion in the EU regarding porn sites. Verification methods could be showing your id card and your face to a webcam, or showing up at a verification office in person (at least in germany we have this with our national postal service). Of course the porn sites don't want to implement this. And I cannot really blame them. Nobody would give a random porn site their real identity and it would still be very easy to get porn without verification.

Age verification on social media is very similar.

AfD-Politiker pflegen geheime Kontakte zu extrem Rechten.

Sie pflegen also geheime Kontakte zu ihnen selbst? Das überrascht mich aber jetzt /s
