No it is the Superhochtechnologieministerium. Use the right wording, dammit.

There was this weird guy around here who claimed women are 100% man - they have been made out of a man’s rib or so.
And a lot of people believed this guy.

As a man I’d have never believed how common such behavior is. I’d have thought that’s really outlandish.
Now I’ve gone through the (probably stereotypical) process of a guy having a daughter, she’s an adult now.
What she told me - no, all this stuff isn’t unusual at all. The first time she was afraid (and called me as she already had a phone of her own) she was not even 10 years old, riding her bike from my place to the ex-wife’s place, teenage boys catcalling her.
There’s a lot of us men around who find it hard to believe, because it doesn’t happen to US.
- Comment on Let me tell you something, I haven't even begun to peak. 1 month ago:
See, for me - I crashed in that time, burnout, divorce, financial problems.
I’m rebuilding my life now step by step, and I’m rebuilding it in a way I don’t get into overload too much anymore.
I learned to offset stressful times by time off, for example, and 4 out of 5 weekends I relax. (And, yes I do allow myself to cheat, but I’m aware I go into “credit” energy-wise. So in total I take care m energy account stays positive and my life is so much better for it)

- Comment on How do I PS5? 3 months ago:
One tip when you have kids: If all the accounts are set up correctly as family accounts you can control playtime right in the settings. The PS will then log out the kids after (say) one hour of play automatically.
Using the PSN website you can grant an extension day by day. When my son had done his homework before playing I would regularly grant another hour. “Can I play more? - Have you done your homework? - Yes - No problem”
In the long run that conditioned him to do his stuff before playing. (And I did trust him, when he said he was finished with his work)

- Comment on What is the history of modern male gender roles and where did it come from? 3 months ago:
When my life turned upside down and a lot of shit happened I got interested in Stoicism to the point I even read a bit of Seneca.
I never felt it as a way to be emotionless or a way to hide or suppress emotions , but rather as a way to just accept my them and “yeah, I see and acknowledge I feel like crap, no need to go crazy about it” (in my situation). It brought an understanding to me that not everything that happens is about me personally and I stop fighting what I can’t change to put my focus where I can have an influence.
Warning: this is not a definition of stoicism, but what I took away from it for myself.
- Comment on Broccoli, cheese, and MILFs 3 months ago:
Both my kids favorite veggie was broccoli when they were small. I’d prepare it the way you’d get it in an Italian restaurant - small parts of it just bleached for a short time, so it stays firm, served with nice olive oil and salt. (And a bit of lemon, if I have it on hand)
Broccoli (like so many veggies) tastes awful when overcooked into a soft and mushy consistency (and then it also changes its taste in a bad way).
Here in Germany grandmas typically are amazing cooks, with the sole exception when they cooked veggies. That generation loved their vegs really soft and overcooked.
