That's so pretty!! I adore the artstyle.

Absolutes Traumauto!

I don't think this is a list of priorities like the title claims, it appears to be ordered by disapproval, unless I'm missing something.

Every language has been influenced by others. English monolinguals just really like to think theirs is special.

Den Jungen in Ruhe und die eigenen Interessen ausleben und entdecken zu lassen ist keine Option? Was hätte ich meine Eltern dafür gehasst, so überheblich über meine Interessen zu urteilen, weil sie nicht in ihr beschränktes Weltbild 'richtiger' Hobbies passen.

Why moderate when you can embrace the woosh?

Oh my god, he looks so sad about his diet. :( Poor bun. Hope health is going to improve.

My father is declining, my father's declining, my fathers are declining, my fathers' declining.

Aye, 'tis my father's declension.

Perhaps they just did not share their hobbies and interests with you at the time. Were any of them actually close friends with you?

None of the girls and women I know who are into gaming are really 'obvious' about it to strangers, partly because of the stigma and the resulting interactions you'd get, and partly because there just isn't too much to talk about that you can't already talk about online in your communities. Especially if most reactions to your gaming hobby you'd get from boys would be ridicule, weird creepiness and/or condescension. We usually kept it to ourselves.

Besides, if they played games like The Sims, it's pretty obvious they were really into gaming. Sims is an incredibly complex and time-consuming hobby for most people – modding, worldbuilding projects, family legacies that take hundreds of hours of playtime. I know not a single Sims-playing woman who is not at least temporarily obsessed with that game, hasn't modded it to shreds and hasn't spent a three-digit amount of money on its expansions.

I'd say that the average Need for Speed gamer is a much more casual gamer than a Sims player. But because the latter are mostly women, we were treated with the same condescending "it's a kid's toy" type attitude boys actually thought we had toward their games.

Man schläft irgendwie besser, wenn man bemerkt, dass alle solche antifeministischen Artikel von jungen Männern bzw. Teenager-Jungs geschrieben wurden, deren einziger Berührungspunkt mit Feminismus irgendwelche aus dem Kontext gerissene Narrative aus rechten Online-Foren und YouTube-Videos sind. Niemand von denen hat sich tatsächlich mit feministischer Literatur oder Tradition auseinandergesetzt geschweige denn irgendwelche feministischen Texte gelesen.

Deshalb beschränken sich diese Leute in ihrer Argumentation auch völlig auf dieses kindliche Bild, dass das ganze Ausmaß feministischer Lehre "Frauen sind gut, Männer sind böse" sei. Deren Weltbild ist ja ähnlich simpel, wie könnte es also anders sein?

I went back to using in-game communication and social features and I can't believe we stopped doing it. It is so much more immersive to hang out in, say, a guild hall to chat with whoever happens to be online, than to be available 24/7 in an outside app.

I would also want to add that many of these terms are regional and subculture-specific.

In the specific part of Germany I grew up in, a 'joint' was any smokable rolled cigarette-like object with cannabis in it. Nobody used any more specific words like 'blunt'.

Then talking to people one town over, they looked at you as if you were from the moon if you called anything a 'joint' that didn't have tobacco in it. To them, a 'joint' was exclusively a mix of cannabis and tobacco, and a 'blunt' was cannabis-only.

Then there's people who add weed to pre-bought cigarettes, people who insist on using leaves, filters and no filters, tobacco or no tobacco, and so on. Most of these terms are really regional.
