In der Kita meiner Tochter gibt es zwei männliche Erzieher (beide mit Migrationshintergrund) und einen männlichen Praktikanten. Für die Kinder ist das auch einfach normal und wird gar nicht hinterfragt. Ich finde das sehr wertvoll, dass von Anfang an vermittelt wird die Kinderbetreuung ist nicht allein Frauensache.

Bisher habe ich nur von einem Vorfall mitbekommen, bei dem die Familie (mit Migrationshintergrund) Stress damit hatte, dass ihre kleine Tochter von einem Mann betreut wird. Ansonsten aber in bisher zwei Jahren nie irgendwelche Zwischenfälle bemerkt - es ist ja auch ehrlicherweise schwachsinnig einem Erzieher irgendwas zu unterstellen nur aufgrund seines Geschlechts.

Noch im Oktober 2024 nannte der Economist die US Wirtschaft “the envy of the world” - und mit Recht. Wie schnell sich die Zeiten geändert haben.

Can a Romanian person with a good understanding of this shit show please give the rest of us a solid rundown of how the second election is likely to pan out?

OSM is a great project. It’s the basis for a lot of different tools and as such really needs to continue to be independent from American tech bros.

Ah, I understand. There’s also versions of this type of car with a battery and a small electric motor that allow the child to “drive” at roughly the speed a grown up person would walk.

This punishment is a joke. Real Madrid deserve more than the usual slap on the wrist. If this were any other team the player would have been handed a ban for 2-3 months.

From the experience of a friend of mine: if you are of European descent, try finding out about your lineage and if that can somehow get you a European citizenship.

A friend of mine, who is Mexican, wanted to remain in Germany after finishing her Master’s degree, since she had a German boyfriend and generally believed her prospects were better here. While it’s possible for non EU citizens to get a work visa, the requirements are very high. She ended up applying for Spanish citizenship, since one of her grandparents had emigrated from Spain. After getting the Spanish EU citizenship, everything was a breeze. She didn’t need any further paperwork, could remain in Germany indefinitely and apply for any job that doesn’t specifically require German citizenship (such as some public service jobs).

Similarly another friend of mine, who is Brazilian, now holds German citizenship, despite not speaking a single word of German. He’s fluent in French though and has found work in Luxembourg easily.

Therefore, if at all possible, try getting any EU citizenship via your grandparents/great grandparents. It will open the door to living and working in any EU country without ever needing a visa or work permit.

Is that car self driving or how does it move?

This looks great! Gnocchi with pesto and a few additions like sun-dried tomatoes are also a go-to for me, when I have to prepare dinner quickly.

Isn’t there a running joke that football started in 1992?
