"Thinking"

❤️

I respectfully disagree comrade. Certainly the average person can differ greatly in their preferences and one resolution can be a mixed layout or adjustable office space, but I think it's good to have boundaries, at least as an option. Plus the Wikipedia article (grain of salt as always) I referenced appeared to note a lot of negative effects, even going so far as to affect physical health.

In that picture most of the immiseration (besides capitalism) seems to be caused by the color, crowding, and lighting.

To be fair, those Palestinians have been dying very anti-semitically.

I'm sure she'll be treated with respect and dignity by the fair and civic-minded people who make up the IDF.

That resembled my interpretation as well. MC goes from typical youthful rebelliousness against authority aimed at the DDR (the strongest authority available to him) to fascination with West Germany to slow disillusionment with West Germany to recognition of the DDR's flaws but overall sadness at its loss, and coping with the meaning of its loss.

There's multiple stories told together though including family drama (and possibly some symbolic parallels between the mother and DDR itself) and coming of age moments, along with a lot of really dry/sarcastic humor. I personally recommend it. There's also some very subtle digs at capitalism like how after the wall falls he's often exhausted from working late (something that didn't happen under the DDR), which at one point results him falling asleep while he's supposed to be babysitting.
