  • I went in to read the German law itself and it’s basically only illegal if certain conditions aren’t met and that is getting a counseling beforehand.

    I think that’s a bit of a far stretch and misleading to say it’s illegal but rarely punished etc.

    Also the headline is completely wrong, as it is already allowed to get an abortion up to week 12.

    Here is the part of the legal text defining the requirements.


    Section 218a Exemption from punishment for abortion

    (1) The elements of the offence under section 218 are not deemed fulfilled if

    1.  the pregnant woman requests the termination of pregnancy and demonstrates to the physician by producing the certificate referred to in section 219 (2) sentence 2 that she obtained counselling at least three days prior to the procedure,

    2.  the termination is performed by a physician and

    3.  no more than 12 weeks have elapsed since conception.

    That’s the Standart in about every developed nation on this planet. I don’t get it either what the USA is trying to accomplish there.

    A thing that isn’t obvious seeing that insanely inflated prices is, that these are prices for individuals and won’t be payed by insurances. If you have let’s say a 70k hospital bill, the insurance might just say we only pay you 8k. The hospital then takes the 8k and writes of the other 68k as a loss. This results in the hospital not earning any money on paper and they don’t pay taxes.

    My favorite thing to look at, when it comes to these inflated prices in USA Healthcare ae the prices of saline solution.

    Have a read if you’re interested.

  • The 120k went into the label, he pumped another million into her directly just for the first album.

    btw I tried to find a trustfull source for the claim that it was only 120k. There are different numbers thrown around, while the 120k is the lowest. The source of that number is Wikipedia and the 2 linked “resources” for that don’t mention it. One of the 2 resources is even an article that is not about Tailor Swift but rather one about some Tobey Keith instead.

    I don’t think it was disclosed. I couldn’t find any proof about the amount.

    She was 14 when “signing” the record label contract.

    This is basically the moment where they used that load of money.And everyone who is thinking that she is a self-made anything is blind by choice.

    Parents throwing Kids at that age into international careers make me at least sceptical about their motivation. That it seems to have worked out this time, doesn’t change that at all.








  • It’s not that you don’t have attention, what your lacking is the control over your attention. This means that you have a harder time directing your attention to what is “necessary”.

    The result of this might be not being able to focus your attention on something, but it can show also as not being able to shift the attention away from something.

    It’s actually not two different sides but rather the same.
