I once was asked by some teenagers where they can find something “sweet” and I pointed them towards a bakery, thinking they wanted pastry or something. So unless you tell what city you live in, I can’t tell you where the nearest casino is.
For some context: This protest took place in the context of the Rosa Luxemburg conference, which is a yearly event organized by the newspaper “junge Welt”. As they reported, multiple participants of the protest were heavily injured, including broken bones and a life threatening injury of an elderly man (German interview with a paramedic). As far as I can tell, the injured policemen are, unfortunately, not in a life threatening situation. The headline that they are injured is probably only right wing propaganda.
If you scramble a block of tofu in a pan and season it with kala namak (black salt), nutmeg, paprika and chives you get a pretty good scrambled egg, you filthy blood mouth you.
Yesterday I called my mother and she started talking about the “world situation”. What confuses and worries me is that every time I corrected a point she made, she acted as if this was her position from the beginning. For example: She started by saying that she feared that Putin and the leaders in the west will start throwing nukes because they are mad and are just stupid people. When I tried to explain that the current situation in Ukraine is the result of a very specific strategical thinking and a reaction to economic demands, and that they are not just going to throw nukes out of spite, she said that she completely agrees and that she’s glad that we are both so like-minded. Another example is when she later said that it’s important to look at statistics to keep yourself informed about the world in an objective way. When I told her that this might not be a good idea and explained the flaws of statistics to her, she said that she of course knows that they are not objective and shouldn’t be used in that way as if she knew all along.
To me it appears that she definitely understands the differences between our positions and then immediately tries to correct them by drastically changing hers (basically gaslighting me into thinking my response was wrong). But why does she do this? It’s so irritating and when I try to point out that she changed her position, she just says that that’s not true or she just quickly changes the subject.
