  • While I generally agree with you, I think we have to look at it from the moderators’ perspective, too. What are they supposed to do? Deal with the same persons every few weeks until hopefully some of them grow? Moderating a community is already a lot of (often thankless) work. I don’t think adding this would help finding and keeping good moderators.

    Ultimately it’s not only about what is the most fair but about what tools are needed to keep a community running.


  • In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with being a bit angry or jealous sometimes.

    You shouldn’t throw your rage at the people around you or let your actions be driven by anger alone. But there are a lot of things one can very justly be angry about. I would even argue that some things one should feel angry about. Like when someone is mistreated.

    Denying yourself negative emotions is not entirely healthy in my opinion, it’s more about the way you act on them (or don’t act on them).


  • Yeah, I do. I’m really lazy and need some pressure to get going. It also gives me this nice kind of thrill and clarity. I also really enjoyed doing exams and tests in school and at uni.

    That being said, I don’t think I could deal with a constant pressure. Every now and then is nice to get this thrill and to get validation when doing well. But under constant pressure I would burn out quicker than a barn doused in gasoline.


  • From the line “Never gonna run around and desert you” we can gather that when a relationship came to an end, the person ending the relationship would run around frantically and burn all possessions of their former partner, thus turning their property into a desert, or “deserting” them.





  • Interesting question. Are we talking about the volume or the floor area? For volume maybe a church? Then St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City would be the largest. I don’t know the layout though, but I assume a large portion of it is the main “room”.

    Or do stadium with a roof count? Then maybe one of these?

    Edit: I don’t think I really thought this through. I was thinking too much of more roomy rooms. Most convention centers probably have larger exhibition halls.










  • In Germany there is no official limit for how long it can take to form a new government. If there is no clear winner and the coalition talks are complicated, it can easily take a month or more. After the election in 2017 it took almost half a year before Merkel was elected as Chancellor and the government was formed. That was uncommonly long though.

    For the time between the first sitting of the newly elected parliament (30 days after the election iirc) and the formation of a new government the previous government acts as caretaker government.
