Dude, people looked into it and the map OP posted is literally based on medieval times.

If someone posts some medieval facts of your general area and explains that this is how things currently are over there, you’d say something too. Even if you don’t immediately have the statistics at hand.

Nuclear in Germany and Austria. The other stuff is medieval or something.

Never heard of anyone keeping the eldest son and their family around on purpose. Just one son, in the basement, maybe. Certainly not to ensure the inheritance, lol.

This might just be a clever add. I’m not even joking.

even if it were broken, this would be such an easy fix if phone companies wouldn’t make it impossible to repair their phones. its freaking infuriating.

i am also convinced that no one in the world has it as difficult as you. sending condolences.

i dont have a fairphone-amount of cash lying around, but I’m seriously wondering if it doesnt end up to be cheaper in the long run for those who do.

how long does it get security updates?

i really want to be left alone in parks. i go there to chill, not to have some awkward dude sit down next to me and try to strike up a conversation with an obvious ulterior motive.

Just to point out how subjective the whole time-and-place thing is. Not saying someone with a lot of tact couldnt pull it off. But thats not the target demography of a post like this.

Getting to know someone through shared interests/common activities is definitely the safer route, not just for the guys.

This, anyone with strong glasses would be disabled in the stone age, lol. Needed some surgery before? You’d be dead. Ever broke a bone? Likely dead.

I went through my whole (living) family tree once and I’m pretty sure none of us would have survived, including me.

Not true everywhere, actually never heard of it here (Germany and Austria).

But if you walk into a place and ask for a paper cup of tap water, a lot of workers are willing to give it to you, regardless of the laws.

Vienna has tap water straight from the mountains btw and it tastes amazing. Recommended.

The first time I heard about sex from a friend, I was around 5 or 6 and went to my mom if that’s true. My mom went to the library, got some sex-ed books for kids and talked me through it. It ended up being not one single talk, but multiple, age appropriate ones spread over the years.

She didn’t do a perfect job, I’d say. There were many things left unknown and she was awkward with the topic (not an issue as a kid, certain issue as a teen).Though, considering that she got all her sex ed from magazines back in the day, definite progress on a generational scale.

I’m confident that I could do a better job than her, because she did a better job than her parents. That’s how it all works, no?

Don’t do this to your kids if you think that was wrong, lol. I know people who grew up like this, complained to me and then started to behave the exact same way with their kids later on.

Nobody “dresscoded” me at home. As soon as I was old enough to pick my own clothing, I could. What skirts or jeans or dresses I wore was my choice completely. My school also didn’t care much.

Blew my mind when I realized how many other girls had to sneak out with their clothes because the parents had a rule against tight jeans or whatever.

I still think my parents were right with this one. The kids with the strictest rules were always those with the craziest outfits. Can’t blame them, I’d have done the same.

Said it before but: The assholes in the world ruin it for the rest of us. Good on you for keeping an eye out. I do it too, it gets exhausting though.

Among the guys who answered with yes, more than one stated to be on the bigger/taller side, which makes sense. I also know some taller, sporty looking women who look out for people being afraid of them sometimes. Never happens to me, I’m the female goblin.

Oh, I know that game, very appreciated! When I get too excited, I might use pepper spray or a kick between the legs. It makes things fun!

You probably know that, but this is exactly the thing that a lot of women and girls do, just reversed. Calling a friend or pretending to be on the phone when in a dark alley. I think the first time I did that was at 14 or something.

Nice one!

Maybe that’s a regional thing, but the thought of someone aggressively sniffing behind me to announce their presence is hilarious.

Lol, I’m not into men and I very much wish that would exempt me from the harassment. The assholes in this world ruin it for the rest of us.

Sounds annoying. Thank the creeps in this world that made those people wary and afraid of men beforehand.They ruin it for everyone involved.

Let’s just hope they’re also talking to themselves enough to not point fingers.
