The Wikipedia article states that

[...]The protests were successful, and the Ampelmännchen returned to pedestrian crossings. They can now also be seen in some western districts of Berlin.[4] Some western German cities such as Saarbrücken[14] and Heidelberg[15] have since adopted the design for some intersections.

Do you have an example of one of these texts that called the event in Ceuta an "invasion" but at the same time distanced itself from the American Right?

Unlike big tech, which would never do that.

I learned the Daedric letters from the physical map that came with the game, which had the place names in both Daedric script and English.

Seems like the article is making fun of these claims more than anything.

> The plurality of worlds debates provided wonderful opportunities to make definitive pronouncements without the inconvenience of providing solid evidence: after all, it was impossible to be proved wrong.

To be fair you can store a lot of stuff inside a bag with only minimal use of bag material, so in many cases this can make sense.

Regular occurrence here in Austria as well. Funnily enough back in school when we watched "Der Untergang" (Downfall), we were escorted out of the movie theatre by policemen right after the movie ended because they'd just found a big WWII bomb nearby at a construction site.

I'm pretty sure the majority of people on the internet who claim to be "neurodivergent" and/or have a diagnosis for some sort of ASD or ADHD do not show "actual, neurological differences in connectivity" though. For my little brothers it seemed like half the school suddenly had ADHD, mostly the kids who would in the past have been described as lazy, which I find hard to believe to be based on actual neurological differences.

The key part here is "related to general intelligence" (not sure how they measured that as I haven't read the whole study). They obviously don't have 6.5 times more gray matter as a whole.

That's why they called it a "shitty" life hack.

Doesn't your last point support OP's point? If you call it the "language of maths" instead of "skill", it would appear that they were indeed limited by their language. At least basic mathematical ability is ingrained in the language one experiences and uses everyday. Just think of a shopping receipt, or discussion of wages among colleagues, personal expenditures and budgets, poker games, recipes, etc.

The point of FOSS licenses is keeping code free and open-source, not compensating anyone.

> so newly discovered likely you didn’t learn about it in school.

So with the slow pace knowledge makes it into the school curriculum, you likely wouldn't have heard about it in school unless you just left the system a year or two ago (if even then).
