I think that's what I tried to express, just with less words and more clumsily.

Fellow women should feel encouraged to reject this pressure.

The pure fact that there is an asymmetry between men and women w.r.t. makeup renders your argument void.

If guys do that to adhere to societal norms, then thats equally sad.

There are parts of my body which, if not cleaned daily, will stink uncomfortably. Harvard webpage or not.

I'd equate perfuming it over to make-up, not showering..

It's also quite sad that a statement "we should put less make-up on" is immediately drifting into a discussion about not showering. Way to ridicule a viewpoint.

Guys who equate stopping to spend 30+ minutes a day painting your face with stopping to shower are part of the problem.

It's exactly those unnatural expectations of looks that are put on women, starting at a really young age, that are the issue here. Not boys, just girls. It skews expectations and boom, everybody feels like they have to do it. It's very sad. I'm not saying don't shower, don't cut or even brush your hair, etc. All fine. But the full-on makeup you see walking through a random city in the morning, geez, what are we doing to ourselves. And what are the guys doing? Nothing close to it, but spend a lot of time justifying it.

ICE from Hamburg to Munich is about 5 hours. That's basically the other end of the country. Not sure where 9 hours come from.

And your 2 hour flight easily goes to 4-5 hours if you add the security theatre and the extra overhead that transport to/from the airport entails. They are far outside the city whereas central stations are usually in the city center.

But when it's inaccurate then it's usualy blatantly obvious. For example if you are out on an easy jog and it shows 188 bpm then that's your cadence, not your heart, unless something is going down really badly and then you don't need the watch to tell you that.

It's not like it will show 147 when the actual value is 134.

I wouldn't call a 7 minutes delay "terrible".

Congrats, now you just need to be on board when tax money is used for that infra. I bet that latest there your opposition starts.

There is a big reporting bias though. You won't see in the news "of the 40,000 railway connections today, most were on time". You only read about some train having had an AC issue or the like.

I have family in Germany and they never go by train but tell me regularly about how bad the train has become. They have literally not been in one for 15+ years. But they watch the news every day.

Airtravel is also subsidised by the German tax payer. Much more than the 49 EUR ticket. No matter if you are a tourist or not. (Arguably mostly for tourists actually.)

It's a cultural difference. As a foreigner, the American way of exaggerating everything has always amazed me. They don't even notice themselves, so expect more of these "what's odd about it?" reactions.

It's a work of fiction. If you were entertained, how does it matter whether it was a human or a machine who wrote it? And does the degree matter?

So if an Airbnb host steals your laptop, Airbnb should be responsible?

As valid as your argument might be, it's different from the argument given for rejecting this case.

This is about the terms of use.

> I wish there was another way, but it is genuinely impossible to provide a comfortable level of family life

It's all a matter of perspective, isn't it? It's basically the top 1% speaking. And you can't tell me that the other 99% have miserable lives.

> unless your partner is also in tech and is ok with not being a stay at home parent.

Stay at home parent is a choice, and a pretty expensive one. One does not have to choose that and can still live a comfortable life. Many women (and let's face it, we're unlikely discussing the man staying at home for the next 7-15 years, eh?) even prefer not to interrupt and/or basically end their careers because of parenthood.

Americans often look to Europe, claiming that these things are so much easier there, which might be true, but at least as much is it a matter of personal choice as well.

Dogs are wolves. All of them.

Such a human move. Learn something remarkable about nature, next step then is thinking about how to use it for warfare.

Do you have any statistics about lightning-related injuries or deaths in showers?

If getting that extra data imposes a risk (eg. radiation) then the tradeoff is not so simple.
