The parties in coalition talks should prioritize strengthening social security protections

If you expect any of that from those two party you haven’t been paying attention.

While the SPD carries ‘Socialist’ in it’s name they are responsible for some of the biggest cuts to social security during the 2000s. The CDU has been railing against ‘Sozialschmarotzer’ for years now and the ‘Christian’ C is only a fig leaf at this point.

Grütziwohl!

it blows every other European country out of the water in terms of salaries

Yep, and you are going to need every penny of that salary. Live in the Alps is expensive.

IIRC that’s Cloudflares random number generator.

Back in 2014 I thought we are witnessing the beginning of WW3 and even went so far as to head down to the shops and buy enough food for ~ 2 weeks.

Call me cynical, but in 2022 I felt more like “You guys are surprised about this? Really?”

1. It can be viewed as part of your privacy to not be subject to defamation.
2. If it reaches the threshold of defamation it is punishable. Whether its enforcement is feasible is another matter.

It is somewhat bewildering to realize that we have come all this way in technology but somewhere something is always turning water into steam to drive a piston of some sort.

Nope, all they collect is date of registration and last time the client connected to the server. Has been proven in court.

Even better you can also do a GDPR to change your email. The GDPR doesn’t just cover your right to deletion but also the right to correct wrong information.

Arakis, Dune, Desert Planet.

Sadly, this sort of stuff is going to be needed more and more around the globe.

Obligatory link to IPoAC

Might help some people realize that fingerprints are not as secure as they think.

Doesn’t have to be Gitmo. I recommend reading Little Brother and according to one hacker, so does the NSA.

Not that I am arguing for simply rolling over but:

Come screw with my first constitutional rite, and my iron clad citizenship.

When push comes to shove, they won’t give a flying fuck about a piece of paper that says they can’t do that. Just ask anyone who’s been to Gitmo on either side of the bars.

On second thought… yeah.

We happily take the blame for WW2, but WW1 is on Austria!

*hurrdurr* Germany! Hitler! *hurrdurr*

End badly for whom? Everage Joe? Every time yeah. For the guys on top? Only if they get opposed by a worldwide coalition.

There is a difference between lying and believing.

We know that plants have evolved along every other living being on this planet. Yet for an ancient farmer sowing their field, asking “who or what sowed everything else around me”, the assumption of some godlike original farmer being is reasonable. So, believe in and of itself is not immoral. Believe contrary to better knowledge is.

Depends.

There are phenomena we can’t explain. So there is room in reality for things beyond our understanding, which traditionally are filled with myth and believe. However, I agree given that for basically every claim religion has put forth science has been able to demonstrate non-supernatural causes, it only seems logical to assume that this will still be the case further down the line.
