On 23 July, 2006, my oldest son, Ryan, deployed to SW Asia, called me. His vehicle was in a convoy on its way to Mosul, where I’d been in 2004.
Despite being just weeks from coming home, the kid volunteered for the mission because, he said, he wanted to see some of what I’d seen in northern Iraq. Then, he had to go and said “I love you, dad.” Those were the last words my oldest son ever said to me. A little more than a week later, Ryan was KIA.

Ähm, nein ist es nicht! Unsere #Behinderungen sind nicht euer verdammter Fetisch!
Meine #Behinderung ist ein Teil von mir, sie macht mich nicht aus. Wenn ich die Unterstützung meiner #Dates benötige, möchte ich, dass das natürlich in ein #Date einfließt.

Ein einfaches Beispiel: Das Entkleiden von Partner*innen ist grundsätzlich eine Sache, die einen gewissen Reiz, Nähe, Vorfreude und Stimmung aufbauen sollte. Völlig unabhängig davon, ob eine Behinderung vorhanden ist oder nicht.

Having some language difficulties with a user today - and I'm beginning to suspect I'm going mad.

Today is Friday.

To me, three days' time is this Monday, and next Monday is ten days away.

To them, next Monday is in three days' time, and this Monday was four days ago.

To me, moving something back means delaying it, moving something forwards means making it earlier.

To them, moving a date forwards involves making it later, and moving a date back means making it earlier - I can understand that, as that's what you do with the date in the calendar, however...

They want to "move next Tuesday's activity back to next Monday"

What they actually want to do is move this Tuesday's activity forward to this Monday.

They are getting annoyed with me because I apparently I don't know how to do dates properly.

Who's right? Them? Me? Mixture/depends?

The US just has to be unique.

Doesn't make sense to have the DD, which changes the most frequently, in between two other things that change less often, i.e. MM & YY(YY).

Makes much more sense to use the format DD/MM/YY(YY).

I like the scientific notation of YYYYMMDD, with time of day on the right if wanted. This is much the way base10 numbers are formatted.

This format also allows files to be sorted by date/time using their name alone.
