Ich hätt ihnen nicht die Scheibe eingeschlagen, sondern sie einfach eingekesselt stehen lassen. So nach 2-3 Tagen wären die auch freiwillig rausgekrochen gekommen.

Um eine Flucht zu Fuß zu verhindern, hätte man das Auto auch in einen Container schleppen können.

In the EU single use bags cannot be sold anymore, so everyone now has some of what they call "bag for life". It's a similar material to the blue IKEA bags (if that's a thing in the USA).

They last really long and since the material requirements are basic as can be, they are usually made out of 100% recycled plastic.

Ist ein Verbot von sinnlosen Verboten sinnlos und müsste es damit nicht auch verboten werden?

That was exactly what I meant. I chose the "Taylor Swift does everything on her own" scenario to disprove the notion that she does all or most of the important work on a show.

That makes the babies even smaller.

Actually, it is.

It derives from Latin infans where "in-" is a negation prefix and "fans" is the present participle form of "for", which translates to "to speak".

So an infant is a non-speaker (too small to speak).

But my opener was of course a joke, where I purpously misunderstood what "fant" is derived of, by claiming that "fant" must be the opposite of a child, thus an adult.

There are tons of Latin words in the English language and many of them only survived in English in their compounded form (e.g. "in-fant", where no other version of the actual verb in there survived, except the negated form).

Often the parts of these Latin root words have no meaning at all anymore in English, so that people don't notice that they are actually using compound words and also the original meaning of the word is forgotten.

Not a lot of people would associate "infant" with "hearing".

This ladies and gentlemen is an example of people using ai to make kid books. It's a big thing right now and easy money but could have consequence if kids start reading ~~these~~ they at a young age.

That's a good vintage. That one is fine. But it will make your baby smaller.

If she had to do everything by herself, the world tour would consist of a few one-woman-gigs at local bars.

She could also pay her employees a lot more.

Well, political forecasting is like reading tea leaves even for professionals and even when it's just for the next year.

So it's safe to say, nobody knows what's going to happen.

But generally speaking, political tensions like the one currently in the US need some form of release. They build and build until something lets all of this vent.

Historically, these vents have been (civil) wars on their soil, revolts or catastrophies that require the country to be literally rebuilt.

The US hasn't really had any of these for a very long term. Wars in foreign countries can reduce the temperature a bit, but only until the public's attention span hasn't passed.

The US system is also built for polarization, so let's see what happens.

If they are lucky, some kind of worker's uprising could be enough. If they are unlucky, they are going to have a dictatorship next year.

But nobody knows what's going to happen.
