On a related note, you may find this article of mine interesting: blog.dennishackethal.com/posts/covid-ex…
It's about how covid regulations have basically turned citizens who are abroad into conditional citizens who must prove they're healthy to get back home. Affects several countries.

More like you're perpetuating collective hysteria.

Einen Einfall hatte ich noch: Man koennte ja einfach eine statistisch signifikante Umfrage durchfuehren, ob die Teilnehmer beim Wort 'Fluechtling' negative Empfindungen haben, und das mit dem Wort 'Gefluechteter' vergleichen.
Ich hatte bereits erklaert, dass ich mich dem Thema nicht verschliesse. Ich stimme Ihnen nur nicht zu. Das bedeutet nicht, dass ich es nicht verstehen will. Aber ok tschuess
Sie sprechen Dinge an, die ich nicht bemaengelt habe. Auch die implizite Unterstellung, ich sei eigentlich nicht interessiert (als ob mangelnde Zustimmung Desinteresse bedeute). Wieso spreche ich dann mit Ihnen?
...Problemen der Fluechtlinge zu befassen.
Fluechtlinge sprechen oft kein Deutsch, koennen also unmoeglich irgendetwas Falsches am Wort 'Fluechtling' erkennen. Es ist vielleicht typisch fuer woke 'Sprachwissenschaftler', sich mit Scheinproblemen zu befassen und Sprache regulieren zu wollen, anstatt sich mit echten...
Ich hab den ersten Link ueberflogen und er scheint mehr oder weniger das Gleiche zu sagen wie Sie. Dann schlaegt er vor, vielleicht sogar "Zufluchtsuchende/r" zu sagen – geht's noch komplizierter? –, meint aber gleichzeitig, "Sprachverhunzung" sei kein Thema.
Ah, der alte "Es ist Expertensache"-Trick. Kauf ich Ihnen nicht ab.

Ich hatte um eine Quelle gebeten, dass koennte mich u. U. davon ueberzeugen, dass ich unrecht habe, zumindest wenn in der Quelle noch mehr zu dem Thema steht.
Uebrigens steht selbst im woken Duden nichts davon, dass Fluechtling abwertend sei:
Sonst sind Sie Ihrer eigenen Meinung gegenueber nicht kritisch, und wer verschliesst sich dann vor etwas?
Wenn ich mich dem Thema verschliessen wuerde, wuerde ich Ihnen dazu keine Fragen stellen. Ich faende es ja interessant, wenn ich falsch liegen sollte.
Und im Gegenteil, Sie sollten aktiv versuchen, ein Wort mit -ling zu finden, das nicht in Ihre drei Kategorien passt.
Inwiefern ist ein Liebling passiv? Weil er Liebe erfaehrt? Was kann daran schlecht sein?
Es sind nicht meine Beispiele.
Bzgl. Haeuptling steht im Duden, dass es auch ironisch abwertend ist. Meh. Zu Liebling steht sowas nicht. Aber Sie sprachen hier von einer angeblichen Abhaengigkeit. Die sehe ich bei allen drei nicht.
Auch da passen Haeuptling und Liebling nicht rein.
Gibt es dazu denn eine Quelle?
Haeuptling, Liebling und Fiesling passen da nicht rein. Natuerlich ist es keine Widerlegung, wenn Sie die widerlegenden Exemplare einfach ignorieren. Auch dass ein Lehrling nicht vollstaendig ueber sich selbst bestimmen kann, waere mir neu.

People are too focused on prevention strategies. As DD explains in the context of climate change, that can't work forever.
If instead ppl asked themselves, 'If I DO catch covid, what can I do to recover quickly', many might realize that it's just not that big a deal.

Those arguments are not just behavioral: they also refer to abstract concepts like creativity and criticism.
Btw, we know how to code many animals; video games often have believable animals in them. Also robots are getting better and better at resembling animals.

PS: Lassen Sie den Gender-Unsinn.
So to add complexity to the show and make Jimmy’s downfall more tragic, what he says to the girl is false. Jimmy is given a chance. Though perhaps too little too late.
IIRC Hamlin even references Jimmy’s thoughts on the girl and admits it was a mistake not to hire him sooner!
What’s interesting is that, with Chuck gone, Hamlin is finally able to make Jimmy an offer over lunch. In fact, he’s always wanted to hire Jimmy but had to defer to Chuck.
Diesen Unsinn gibt es in Amerika schon lange. Er ist nach D ruebergeschwappt. Es sind genau die gleichen Worte eins zu eins uebersetzt, obwohl der kulturelle Kontext in D ein ganz anderer ist. Das zeigt einem bereits, dass da was faul ist.

so in addition to being a pretend doctor you're also a pretend louis ck explaining jokes?
i bet you're one of those people wearing multiple masks at the same time and posting selfies on social media to show what a great person you are
and that noah wyle is a pretend doctor, which lots of ppl on twitter are these days, too
the point was that noah wyle is about as qualified to make medical statements as you are (i'm guessing you're not a doctor), not that he was accidentally medically right in the actual scene
