The OP doesn’t say that they have a trademark. For me it sound as they don’t have one. Only a registered domain and the name of the software on github. The letter came on the grounds of the oponnents trademark.

You are just assuming, that MS actually knows and cares for what users want. In my experience its the other way round. MS will introduce a change/new behavior and user have to adjust their own behavior, because most are not willing to switch to a competitor program.

I remember very well how much my father sweared at the computer because MS changed the UI to the ribbon bar. It wasn’t at all what he wanted and MS didn’t care to ask users beforehand.

In the way it is phrased I would second this. The problem is, that it faults the disabled person for the life problem of those around them (THEY are ruining other peoples life). The discourse never ever blames the disabled person here. Doing so will land you in a bad discussive corner - together with the common argumentation of nazis. Though the question of abortion (as stated by OP) is not as clear cut.

Ist das Plakat wirklich echt? Ich kanns gerade nicht unterscheiden

Ah, so it is just a case of a specific definition of “state”. What are the attributes of a state in that definition (as they do not include "the Administration of Things)? Goes totally against my intuition with that word

Maybe you can clarify for me, as I’m not knowlegeble in Marxism: When the state withers away, what is the central organisation called, that manages the means of production? I thought that would also be called functions of a state. Thanks

Drawing clear boundaries for yourself is a good thing and has nothing to do with narcissism. They are about what is important to you. Disagreement over such boundaries can mean the end of the relationship, for the better.

Though it sounds like you are somewhat overcompensating in some areas due to your family experiences (I might be wrong in that). A serious relationship also means meeting the partners needs. If you draw the boundaries so hard to rule out any compromise, then dating will be very difficult, maybe impossible. So you need to be clear with yourself of what is really important and where you can compromise.

Your examples are very different. First its about “doing something” for her, which is too vague to answer. Might be anything. Just using the phrase “Do it for me” is not manipulative in my view. It might be something that is important for her. If you can compromise on that, why not meeting her need? If not, then communicate it and the reasons clearly. If thats a problem for her, the relationship can still just end.

Then its about keeping contact with your family or potentially nursing your parents. That seems to be a hard (and probably healthy) boundary for you. She should accept that. Though talking about it in a non-pressuring way is ok.

And the last two examples are these low stakes situations, where probably the communication is going wrong. These are easily solvable without much drama, by compromising (and yes, ording from different restaurants or having one person cook while the other orders is also a compromise). Do you know the 4 sides of a message? I think it is a quite important concept about communication, since sometimes the anger or sadness, that you her from your partner are not really about what they are saying. Human communcation can be quite complex.

With AI you can easily correct? Who would correct the AIs? The people who don’t know what they want? Or some other party who knows even less, what the people want? And how would you personally correct without making up your mind by yourself about something? And how would society correct the overarching AI, which probably had used all peoples AI to train? Who would do this with what indentions and biases? Just seems to hide the problems under an AI carpet, creating even more problems.

Very interesting theory. Changing a bit of the books canon could fit it there perfectly. Like placing their mothers death after Arianas “death”, caused by the fight between Albus, Grindelwald and Aberforth. The fight about Grindelwald embracing Albus identity, attacking aberforth for his cruel words. Albus being torn between the love, that accepted him and the love for his brother. Aberforth breaking Albus nose at their mothers funeral for being a monster and being friends with another monster who tortured him in the fight.

And the maybe Albus also telling the story of his supposed fragile sister dying to keep his own story from the magical world, which he found to be cruel and unaccepting.

Die 90% hat sich sich jemand aus dem Arsch gezogen. 90% wovon denn bitte?! Immer wieder dieselben Mist Argumente. Und in der Zwischenzeit sieht es das BKA nicht als ihre Aufgabe an, bekanntes CSAM von File Hostern entfernen zu lassen

It will surely help significantly preventing a tactical nuclear strike from russia, though it won’t end the war. It is an absolute last resort trigger. Ukraine will be annihilated after they use it (Russia has way more nuklear weapons).

So somewhat good for them and OK to do so, though no solution and no substitution for western military aid.

A few months ago a german activist (I think it was Arne Semsrot) wrote a book about how low and middle positions in government agencies can work against the governments intentions in case of a extreme right wing takeover by the AFD. Though I don’t know, if it was translated to english or would be 1 to 1 applicable to the USA.

Imagine Harry and Hermione getting a card of them, but not Ron. inferiority complex intensifies

And: Who doesn’t want to die a gruesome death should not go into this specifoc corridor on that storey. But hey, have fun finding your classroom with all the doors and stairs, that so often lead to random different places.

We have a saying here, which would also fit for Hogwarts: Up to 10% lost is still OK XD

Though having cash is not enough. The stores also need to be able to accept cash without internet usage. I think we had a case in germany a few years ago, where some supermarkets could not sell anything, because the servers, to which the local payment system connected (also uses for cash) didn’t work. Not sure, if that was because of a security incident.

Common insult in germany for people being too stereotypically german. Used it on multiple occasions :D

In germany - I think - blood and plasma donations are most commonly done with the DRK (German Red Cross). I might be wrong, but DRK is not a for profit organization, but “gemeinnützig”. Organizations with that status get controlled by the government for it, so they are non-profit. I think the 25€ are an incentive to come and donate, just as the chocolate and drinks and the small goodies, that you get there. And you only can get the money, if you go to one of the fixed DRK locations. If the DRK comes to somewhere near you (as they often do with churches, town halls, schools and universities) you don’t get any money. I can at least believe, that these two are monetarily similar for the DRK. If you come to them, they don’t need to pay for getting the equipment and people to you. And providing incentives for donating blood is in effect a good thing, as they are working, thus we have more blood to save lifes.

Ofcourse actors later in the chain are probably profit oriented. Though there I would see the discussion disconnected from the donation. It is more about if we want profit oriented actors in healthcare.

And - as always - the US healthcare system seems to do the worst thing possible every time. Sorry, americans, don’t want to bash you, but capitalism…

An interesting customer base might be small communal organisations. At our local scouts troop I had a discussion with a friend, who is also in IT. His idea (not fleshed out) was to provide small local organizations with a stack of already configured open source software to support the typical needs of such organizations (like a wordpress website, a nextcloud for file storage and common calender, limesurvey for surveys and event registration, mailman3 for mailing lists,…). Depending on the needs you could sell the initial setup process (your personal work in setting up and skill transfer) or ongoing support. Though such organizations normally don’t have much money to give away. So probably its not really worth your time financially (though probably really appreciated in the community).

And probably thinking like “That kid is not even in school yet and already causing hassle for me. Will be good 7 years with him in my house”

Though in the books he is also an insecure asshole to harry and hermione again and again - until he comes around this in Deathly Hallows. Its basically rons character arc to overcome his insecurities.
