If you somehow knew nothing about each temperature unit, but you did know base 10, I feel like Fahrenheit would be more intuitive.

Would it though? Because it’s not like people who didn’t grew up with Fahrenheit can just intuitively use and interpret it. Maybe base ten is “more intuitive”, but I’d argue not to any meaningful degree. Both scales have to be explained, experienced, and tied to personal reference points.

If that was true outsiders should be able to use Fahrenheit without much explanation. I’ve never got a clue what the °F values mean, I always have to use a converter. It’s really not as intuitive as people who grew up with it seem to believe.

Oh war gar nicht als Kopf waschen gedacht - auf keinen Fall gegen dich, höchstens gegen den Artikel. Keine Fehler machen zu wollen ist doch was sehr menschliches, und in Bezug auf die eigenen Kinder geht das glaube ich allen so.

Ich bin auch keine Erziehungswissenschaftlerin, sondern Psychotherapeutin. Ich glaube das beste, was Eltern für ihre Kinder tun können, ist gesund und glücklich zu sein und eigene Defizite mit Gelassenheit und Selbstmitgefühl hinzunehmen. Wir geben unser bestes, mehr kann niemand verlangen, auch wir selbst nicht. Und wenn du das deinen Kindern vorlebst, hast du ihnen bereits eine unglaublich wichtige Fähigkeit für ihr Leben mitgegeben.

(Abgesehen davon ist ein Kinderarzt ohnehin keine Autorität was gelingende Kindeserziehung angeht. Was er schreibt ist damit maximal eine Privatmeinung, keine Einschätzung einer Fachkraft.)

Ich lese da vage und teilweise widersprüchliche Erziehungstipps, wie man sie in jedem Klatsch-Blatt findet. Was bestimmt stimmt: Eltern wollen alles richtig machen und lesen deshalb alles mögliche. Diesen Artikel zum Beispiel.

It’s even worse for Germany - cornflowers are used as Nazi symbolism.

Interessant dass es bei HSV-2 mehr als 10% sind. Das würde ja bedeuten ein großer Anteil der Bevölkerung hat sogar beide Infektionen.

In Deutschland haben 90% den Virus. Höchstwahrscheinlich hat er den Virus schon längst (ganz unabhängig von der Ex-Freundin), aber halt asymptomatisch.

Swiss that hasn’t aged

But “Swiss cheese” isn’t a thing in itself either. The term is used solely in the US.

Switzerland has all kinds of very different kinds of cheese. Aged and young ones.

The difference is that you as the owner are in that case not actively financing an industry that’s slaughtering other animals in order to feed your pet.

That a cat while roaming outside will inevitably kill other animals is not unethical on the cats part. It’s debatable if it’s unethical on the owners part, which is why many people nowadays discuss only keeping cats as indoor pets anyway. It is however a completely separate issue to vegan cat food.

Maybe you think vegans ask for vegan pet food because they want their cat to “be vegan”? Because if so, that’s a misunderstanding. Vegan ethics are always about our own consumption decisions and behavior. Never about those of animals. (Which is why “dO yOu JuDgE LiOnS fOr KiLliNg ZeBrAs As WeLl?” is never a good argument. We don’t.) As caretakers for our pets some of their decisions naturally fall to us. You’re always deciding for them which brand of pet food your cat will get. For example I avoid nestle owned brands, wether my cat supports that decision or not. If he was an outside pet I’m sure he would at least try to murder something occasionally. That has nothing to do with my responsibility to honor the ramifications of my own ethical considerations though. My cat is too dumb for that - literally. It doesn’t release me from the responsibility.

(He gets meat btw, he has chronic digestive problems and needs special food anyway - before anyone here accuses me of murder and torture or something.)
