I think there used to be a teaching that depiction of humans was - for some reason - forbidden. But my source is the novel "Der Medicus" , so take that with a teaspoon of salt.

Hm, wer fünfstellig für einen B-Klasse Führerschein zahlt wurde entweder sehr böse über den Tisch gezogen oder sollte sich das mit dem Autofahren nochmal überlegen. Ich war ein sehr schlechter Fahrschüler (inzwischen auch ein paar Jahre her) und habe de facto ein-einhalb bis zwei Führerscheine gemacht und ich war noch weit weg von 10.000.

Tbf, this has proven to be extremely effective: Just think of how many tobacco or chili plants are grown today! Domestication really is a two-way-street

I recommend watching the third one, not because it is a good movie, but because it is a hilarious movie.

Klingt, als hätte Sonys Rechtsabteilung zu wenig auf demn Schreibtisch gehabt.

Thanks for the info! I didn't think they were widespread, but figured they might be a bit wholesome and would light up this thread :)

I'd like to add that there are good versions of "microloans"! I learned that there used to be (or still are, didn't check) non-profit " banks" in some parts of India (and South africa I think) that would give out small loans of a few dollars to a few hundred dollars (which can be quite a lot of money in India). There was no collateral and low interest, but a group of people had to apply for a loan together. Until the first loan was paid back, the rest of the group couldn't apply again. It was meant to provide financial backing and capital to microbusinesses (e.g. fishers, farmers, peddlers) that would otherwise be excluded from the financial market due to a lack of collateral and otherwise be forced to take high-interest loans.

der gleiche Merz, der beim Wahlkampf im Osten ein Ende der Waffenlieferungen fordert?
