Word of the Week: Backpfeifengesicht
Do you ever look at someone and feel like punching them in the face?
Well, Germans have a unique word for that face: a Backpfeifengesicht
— a face that’s badly in need of a fist.

Google Maps in Germany now publishes how many reviews of restaurants etc were removed due to “defamation”, i.e. legal action from the owners of the criticized businesses. There’s now a Chrome extension that adds 0 ratings for every removed rating and then averages that with the provided rating.

I was told today that "capitalism" or, more accurately, German "Kapitalismus" is a leftist "Kampfbegriff", essentially an idiological term to influence public opinion, as I understand it.
I have never even thought about capitalism as something other than a normal word meaning a specific thing. Of course, people have different attitudes towards capitalism itself. Left-leaning people would regard it as negative.
German Mastodonians, am I completely off…
