    Considering it has its roots in the "Lebensreform" in the late 19th century, it's not that surprising that it's part of the culture. Still, American influence hasn't been good to i…

    Ah, that has to have been just part of it then, as the book was released in 2002.

    The comment where I mentioned it is also part of the whole tree, so you just need to look above a bit. If you mean a link to the actual law on the Ukrainian government website, it …

    Uhm, did you actually read the whole article or did you have different words than I had? The most relevant part is even pretty early in the article. Also, it's a fact that Hebrew i…

    The difference is that the Ukraine has language and racial laws (as written in another comment) while Russia supports minority groups by providing TV channels and radio programs in…

    It's based on claims though ("Head of Ukraine's Jewish community claims Russian neo-Nazis fight alongside rebels"). However, it's irrelevant because you don't seem to know what a n…

    "Hitler's Jewish Soldiers: The Untold Story of Nazi Racial Laws and Men of Jewish Descent in the German Military" by Bryan Mark Rigg. Googling, there is also an interesting article…

    Jews also fought for Hitler during WW II, so I don't exactly see your point. Additionally, considering Ukraine enacted a language law in 2019 and a racial law in 2021 and that spec…

    Information war is a thing. Though, you can find information from people on the ground on Youtube, social media and small websites (mainstream media you can completely forget, ther…

    From what I've heard it's a Buk-M1 with a failing guidance system that was used to intercept a Russian missile attack on military infrastructure. Why it failed is guesswork but mis…

    You mean like paying social benefits (pensions etc)? Possibly. After all, Ukraine was supposed to do that according to Minsk II but they violated the agreement in more than enough …

    Depends on which country you are from. There wasn't exactly reporting from it (at best only at the beginning) here which is why she moved there. Additionally, now the general tenor…

    I mean, do you deny that the Ukrainian army has been shelling civilians in the separatist regions? A fellow countryman moved there since no one of the press bothered to report over…

    "West" probably meaning the US which then also wants to include Europe for some reason, despite it making very little sense.

    I think it's just broken in some cases for whatever reason. Like 9 months ago I mentioned trying out Tik Tok for some weeks and despite lots of "not interested", likes etc, I got s…

    Is that actually a thing though? When I got my own TV, I usually went to bed at ~22:15 because that is when the first evening movie ended. And that was before and after puberty. Ev…

    Growing up in the countryside, basically no kid was driven to elementary school, except maybe some first graders early on. You either walk, come by bicycle or take a bus. I wouldn'…

    Depends on where you lose it. If it's in/at some place where you can buy something, people usually bring it there and you can get it back as soon as you notice. If it's the whole w…

    There being no transaction history is good (less data/more privacy). Not sure how it's easy to lose. At least I have never lost my cash. And if you lose your wallet for some reason…

    "Nur Bares ist Wahres"...and it's true. With cash you have full control of the money while with some CC or phone you rely on third parties. Not to mention the privacy and data issu…

    In some regions it's (4:15) "Viertel nach vier" while it's also "Viertel fünf" because 4:45 is "Dreiviertel fünf", while in those some regions it's then "Viertel vor fünf". (Person…

    Not a native speaker here. How come it's supposed to be a derogatory term? I mean, you would say "granny" because "grandmother" is too long. So saying "tranny" instead of "transsex…

    Hm, I don't know. From my experience, communication without emoji of any kind works perfectly fine in a workplace and so far, I don't think I've ever received work-related communic…
