“Wir sind die letzten, die noch nicht verstanden haben warum die Schuldenbremse Deutschland schadet.”

Seitz übersetzt: “Ich habe nichts dagegen wenn die Welt ungerecht ist, so lange es zu meinen Gunsten ungerecht ist. Wenn es zu Gunsten anderer ungerecht ist, ist es eklig und Günstlingswirtschaft.”

Der Mann ist eine beleidigte Leberwurst, niemand der sich von den Kernaussagen der Partei distanziert. Trotzdem hat er natürlich Recht, dass eine Partei die die Demokratie mit Füßen tritt auch innerparteilich nicht demokratisch/gerecht/menschlich etc. sein kann, aber das ist halt ein “Leoparden essen MEIN Gesicht???” - Problem.

First the taste got lost, now they turn into the nutritious equivalent of card board. The nutrition supplements industry: “Hell, yeah!” But you have to give it to them, every vegetable and every fruit looks perfect now and keeps that look for a long time. What can be better than that?

My neighbor has a balcony and has tomato plants on it every year, and they are the ugliest tomatoes I have ever seen and have the best taste of any I have ever eaten. I want a balcony or a garden so badly.

I am a fan. Live long, and keep wasting my time please!

It is understand some class photographs were taken before the pupils with additional support needs were brought in.

How did that happen, when no one in the school was in with it? Where were the kids with complex needs at that time? As a parent I would have a closer look at the school, no matter what they say now. I mean it takes time to get the kids stand together, stop making funny faces etc. This was not done in five minutes or the pictures would be awful.

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Matthew 19:14

This pastor: “No, only my children, not these others.”

There are days I wish all that religious stuff would be real so I could be sure he goes to hell and on his way Jesus slaps him in his face. Once for every evil tweet, no twice at least.

Now I see one second a panda butt and the next second a snoring panda and then the butt again… help.

In Germany there are only a few crimes that take away your voting rights and I am fine with these:

• preparation of a war of aggression and high treason against the Federation
• treason and disclosure of state secrets with intent to cause damage
• attacks against organs and representatives of foreign states
• disruption of election process and falsification of election documents
• bribing delegates
• sabotage against means of defence or intelligence activity endangering national security (provided that a sentence of imprisonment is imposed for at least one year in this case).

This is the way!

Ich kann mich an Zeiten erinnern, wo die CDU noch mit Inhalten regierte

Die Zeiten (90er Jahre) an die ich mich erinnere und die “Inhalte” mit denen die CDU damals Politik machte: https://www.spiegel.de/politik/bis-ins-letzte-negerdorf-a-f784b79e-0002-0001-0000-000013687826

Es war die Angst vor jenen Rechten, die führende Christdemokraten ohne Sinn in den Asyl-Wahlkampf trieb. Schon Teufels Amtsvorgänger Lothar Späth, daran erinnerte ein Unionssprecher in Stuttgart, habe »ganz bewußt die Ausländerthemen gespielt«, weil die »zum Emotionalisieren der Leute geeignet« seien.

Teufel in schöner Offenheit: »Niemand soll deshalb die NPD wählen müssen.«

Man ersetze “NPD” heute mit “AfD” und verstehe warum ich ein Dejvu nach dem anderen habe und denke die Menscheit lernt aus Erfahrung nur, dass die Menschheit aus Erfahrung nicht lernt.

Yes. We should embrace it. _/notsorry

More seriously, we don’t know. Only time will tell. Take-Two will definitely be looking at redundancies, so it might not be good for all employees. For the IPs, hopefully it can’t get much worse than sitting at Embracer while the company sinks like the Titanic. But Take Two has also had layoffs and shelved projects. One can only hope for the best.

They allowed capitalists to win and they bought golf.

That’s the capitalists:

The tragic paradox is that for the most part the people who care about sport do not own it and the people who own it do not seem to care for it at all. It is of no consequence to Saudi Arabia whether or not you like golf. Eventually, it will find the thing you do like and your views will not be of interest to them. No, they will not be taking questions. No, you will not be kept up to date on progress. As ever, you will find out what’s happening whenever it decides you need to know.

And if you think “I don’t care about golf, no loss” they already have bought all kinds of other tournaments including e-sport.

They might sell the same food, but they do sell them for way higher prices. They have to because the rent for the shops is high, but also because the people buying there have nowhere else to go, because usually no one goes there that can go shopping elsewhere. So better plan ahead with opening times of your normal grocery store.

To circumvent the rule of no meat on Good Friday, in Germany the “Maultasche” (mouth bag) was invented, also called “Herrgottsbescheißerle” in Swabian dialect (little God cheaters). The meat is minced and colored with spinach and then pasta dough is put around it, so “God and your neighbors can’t see the meat inside”.

It is delicous on every day!

And yet the whole world is still feeling bad for MLK getting murdered so many years later, he will stay in every American’s mind forever, his death a stain on this country because people saw his humanity, his death made them feel ashamed. Even you needed to mention him. He was working within the system, he won. His words are still present and an inspiration. He changed more than burning cities did. Without his work and dedication the burning cities would just have been meaningless violence easily dismissed as Black people being bad by the racists. Even the people who ignored racism and pretended everything was fine understood through him that there was something wrong, that change had to happen. Violence and destruction alone will always only spread fear and change who is the next oppressor, good people can change the world into a place where we all hinder oppression to happen, where we don’t need oppressors anymore.

And it was the system who brought the housing rights act. Boring, peaceful lawyers who were there waiting for their chance to make something good happen inside the system. Witout them the fires would have burned out and everything had stayed the same until the next violence.

Tomato sauce and everything hot tomato, especially if you use canned tomatoes, needs a bit of sugar. It makes it 100% better. It does not make it sweet, but all the flavors of the tomato just pop while otherwise it is only sour and bland.

A lawyer who confronts the white people of the whole village with their racism. The way he makes them all see loud and clear that their choice is either to stand by their racism and let a child rapist who raped his own daughter (and does a lot of other bad things) go free because he has the same skin colour as them and drag themselves down to his level, or to admit that a white person could commit such a crime. On that day, no one in the courtroom could lie about what decision they made, that it was made solely out of racism, and what the price was. Tom paid the ultimate price, but everyone in the courtroom paid a price too. None of them got off scot-free.

Do you really think that hasn’t changed something? That doing the right thing is only worth something if it changes the world immediately? Atticus may not have saved Tom, but he made a difference, because everyone understood that Tom was innocent. If more people made that kind of difference, we would live in a different and better world. People who are racist need to be confronted with the damage they are doing, why they are doing it, and the damage they are willing to do to themselves and others.

And of course the children needed an explanation. They were hoping for immediate change, a happy ending, and they understood the explanation better than you, it seems.

It’s one thing to be angry at the system and feel helpless, it’s another to give up and just shrug your shoulders because “there’s nothing I can do about it” or to use what’s there and do the best you can and make the change you can. If Atticus had not used everything the system gave him and not defended Tom, the result would have been the same for Tom, but the people in the courtroom would have been able to pretend that everything was fine, that Tom was guilty and cheer for Tom to be convicted. He took that away from them, they left the courtroom with their eyes down, because they put a proofen innocent man into jail. He won. Believe it or not, the far from perfect court system, even in a village like this, allowed him to force them to look in the mirror.

In many ways it’s more restrictive than before, albeit better for the intended use case.

I had to scroll way too far down for someone to point that out.

There will be a lot of people facing problems like yours with actual family members living abroad, and others will face issues with sharing with friends abroad or friends that used to change often or paid sharing that changed often.

I am a cynic so I think it is mostly done to hinder paid sharing and sharing with friends and family abroad is collateral damage.

A second use is probably that child protection is now pushed away from Steam and more towards the parents. I think that was necessary because European countries and maybe others were putting Valve under pressure and they do not want to implement a real age verification (they should imho). Now they can just say: “Kids should not have free access to a PC to be able to make an account, parents need to do that for them and restrict access age appropriate, it is not our concern anymore!” I have my doubt that will be enough for the EU though, but might buy them time.

I think many people haven’t realized the downsides of this yet and only see where it benefits them. We will have complaints about the one year cooldown soon.

Es ist nur ein Trinkspiel, wenn man es noch überleben kann, hier gibt es aber eine deftige Alkoholvergiftung.
