But we don't recognize them on sight, so can't be it.

Hnnnn... um mal XKCD zu zitieren:

Normal light interacts with the atmosphere through Rayleigh scattering. You may have heard of Rayleigh scattering as the answer to "why is the sky blue." This is sort of true, but honestly, a better answer to this question might be "because air is blue." Sure, it appears blue for a bunch of physics reasons, but everything appears the color it is for a bunch of physics reasons.[2]

Das geht von einem ebenen Spielfeld aus, das ist es aber nicht.

Reich, schön oder zur richtigen Ethnie zu gehören bietet in unserer Gesellschaft bestimmte Vorteile oder besser gesagt schützt vor allem vor bestimmten Fallgruben, in die halt vor allem (aber nicht nur) Menschen tappen die arm, hässlich oder mit einem Migrationshintergrund belastet sind.

Ziel ist also durch Förderung die Unebenheit des Spielfelds aus zu gleichen und es so für alle fairer zu machen.

just to show you how absurd and off of what was actually said your argument is, let's do to your argument what you did to theirs:

"So you think our representatives should not be representative of the population? Only rich, white, people should be politicians? You think there are no people of colour with political skills equal or better than those already in power? You think there isn't a single second or third generation immigrant who could do a better job than Andi Scheuer or Armin Laschet?"

This has bugged me forever, because, surprisingly, Tighten is correct.

There is no Queen and no King of England, the title was abolished in 1707 with the Acts of Union, when England and Scotland were joined into the Kingdom of Great Britain.

Accordingly the correct title is: The King / Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

There hasn't been a Queen of England since 1 May 1707.

No

Erstmal gibt es Wero sowieso nur für privat zu privat. Was die Anbindung von Händlern in ein paar Jahren angeht macht Wero keine Aussage dass sich irgendwas ändern soll außer dass es einfacher wird und im Effekt Google Pay und PayPal ersetzen will damit das Geld das da für Gebühren drauf geht halt in Europa bleibt.

Von daher glaube ich auch nicht dass die irgendwas günstiger machen. Die lassen nur die Daten und das Geld in der EU anstatt es nach Amiland zu schicken.

Wero wirbt definitiv damit, dass es "ohne zusätzliche Gebühren" sein soll. Da es auf der SEPA-Sofortüberweisung basiert werden also die ganz normalen Überweisungskosten fällig.

I like this. It's a matter of accessibility for many who are maybe not physically but mentally disabled, they absolutely lack access to lots of books and translating them into Simple English will open up new books and experiences for them.

Yes, most of us love the wordplay and artistry of books that are hard to read. It's a really satisfying feature of language that it can move around so freely and artistically. But that also means that some people are basically gatekept by language from the stories this language tells. These translations don't take away out ability to read the wordy, artsy original, they just enable other people to read the same story in a language better suited for them.

I didn't watch that, only the movie and the original comic book

This hits hard right now. Wish me luck I'm getting my jazz-rythm heart checked out.

FUCK NO!

Rorschach is a fascist, he only works in absolutes and while the Batman tries not to kill, Rorschach has no such regard for human life. He detests the junky as much as the murderer, for him there is only pureness and evil, every little bit of amoral behavior will be punished and at the same time he considers his own vigilantism as above the law.

He's a misogynist who thinks that the Comedian raping Silk Spectre was just a "moral lapse". He holds even for his time outdated socially conservative views and strongly opposes what we would call (gender and sexual) minority rights.

Rorschach is unbending and uncompromising, he is beholden only to his conservative rigid views of black and white morality with no room for shades of grey. That might not sound so bad at first, but if you think about it, that is definitely not someone who you want as a judge of people.

On top of that he's a far-right believer, he's not a government man in the same way the alt-right are not. His thinking is deeply conspiratorial and paranoid with a huge dollop of delusion. He's better described as an Ayn Rand paleolibertarian.

Thinking about it he definitely would fit right in with today's alt-right with the only difference that (if - and only if - he would not buy into their conspiracy theories - and he's very much likely to do so) he would detest Trump for his lying.

But Rorschach is definitely the kinda guy who'd shoot up a pizza place looking for tortured kids in the basement.

I love him as a character, he's one of the best written vigilante "heros" out there but what's so fascinating - to me at least - is that his principled moral conviction is contrasted by how immensely unlikeable this man is and how his moral uprightness relies on the moral compass of a deranged 11 year old with a gun.
