This is old, it still has the (now defunct) feddit.de instead of feddit.org

I’ll just sit here, aging quickly.

So… the genie offers to make me look better by increasing my looks to only slightly below average? Noice!

Inflation of the Dollar since 2014 added 33%, everything above that is not inflation.

I really hated that episode of Skip Intro’s copaganda because it was just so well argued… it’s a really good episode but man does it get my blood boiling!

I mean yes, absolutely, it’s always good to welcome people leaving a bad government behind.

But…

Do we have any statistics on who is leaving? Are jewish people over- or underrepresented? Maybe it’s mostly palestinian citizens of Israel or maybe it’s a lot of hardcore conservative jews who support the war, but are fleeing conscription? Maybe it’s secular leftist jewish people? My point is: Apart from some cherry-picked, non-representative interviews, we don’t know who is leaving and why.

Hah! Not those exact words but Angela Merkel in 2007: “The Internet is new territory for all of us”.

BULLSHIT. Opposition to censorship continues to be strong on the left. I was there for “Stasi 2.0”, “Schäublone” and “Zensursula”. And nobody could EVER justifiably accuse Wolfgang Schäuble or Urula von der Leyen of leftism.

It’s continually the right that screeches “cEnSoRsHiP!!1!” when they get deplatformed by someone who has the right to deny them service, but it’s also the right that continually tries to implement state censorship.

It’s both, that’s the double entendre in German. Only when the “gefragt” appears is the double meaning resolved in favour of “you have asked me”

The difference is that Russia takes them out of storage, and if they can drive, they’re going to the front. Europe completely refurbished the tanks and sent fully operational (if old) main battle tanks to Ukraine.

Cobalt is more abundant in the earths crust than thorium or uranium by an order of magnitude.

Greenland has the nearest coastline to the North Pole, and Denmark argues that the Lomonosov Ridge is in fact an extension of Greenland.

According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, this would mean that through the extension of it’s continental shelf, Greenland basically has control of the seabed of most of the arctic ocean and deep into russian waters. This gives it exclusive rights to resources on or below the seabed of that extended shelf area.

Greenland thus is not only important for the control of northern trade routes that are opening up because of climate change, but because it comes with the control over huge swathes of resources on or below the arctic seabed.

It’s all about oil and minerals.

Me seeing the starting screen “These are the end-times… There was no hope of survival… This is how you died.” For Project Zomboid the first time. The one and only Zombie-Survival-Game that absolutely hit the nail on the head in relation to an atmosphere of despair and gritty survival.

Covered doctors and specialists… out of network… people on Reddit kept telling me my socialised universal multi-payer healthcare by statutory health insurance, would mean I could not see the doctor I wanted and would wait forever for services. And sure, for everything that’s not immediately necessary I do wait some time. But for all things acute I can go to any general practitioner who will either provide immediate help or forward me to a specialist for immediate help. No matter where in my country I am, no matter which hospital, GP or specialist I go to, everything important is covered. And I pay less per month for it than Americans do.

Join us brother!

You saw them fall into the ravine, but did you see the body? HAS ANYONE SEEN THE BODY?

His american colleagues sometimes poke fun at my cousins branch for only working 35 hours a week, taking long vacations and having lots of state mandated holidays throughout the year. When they hire someone new they sometimes comment on how lazy the german colleagues are…

Then they point them towards the numbers and the fact that the german branch is constantly setting the productivity records. They’ve been outperforming the americans by more than 10% for years.

What’s more well known around the world, Wacken or Rammstein? Because Wacken is smaller than Ramstein and would be the better answer but my guess is that Rammstein are more known.

Ramstein, population ~5600

Famous for the Ramstein Air base, the bombing of the air base, the Ramstein air show disaster and the band named after all of that.
