Hi! :)

[she/her]

Nazis, tankies and terrorist justifiers can kindly fuck off.

  • What is Borderline Racist about my comments?

    The old citizenship laws left millions of people who were born and raised in Germany, who went to school here and who pay their taxes here, and who have never had a home other than Germany without equal rights. So saying you oppose the reforms that finally allow these people to fully participate in our society isn't a great look.

  • Yeah, and all that actually does is strengthen the AfD by making their talking points socially acceptable.

  • That's not voter suppression, it's a risk you take when moving outside of Germany. The German state can't guarantee that you can easily vote if you move outside of its jurisdiction.

  • Well, I certainly do look at him in wonder.

  • Well, keep saying it because you're right.

  • They also won't result in anything other than US disengagement. Ukraine won't surrender just because Trump says so. And neither will Poland and the Baltic states, and because of that the EU as a whole won't.

    It won't even end the war. It'll just make America look weak.

  • Two minutes (and you're being very optimistic here, for someone who isn't technically inclined it's almost certainly going to be more) of required reading on a subject that's just not even remotely interesting to 99% of people eliminates basically all non technical people. Because they just don't care enough to devote that time. If that's the user base you want, that works out, but I'd like people here who can hold a conversation about something other than Linux and Star Trek. It's honestly kinda boring here.

  • Cut the gendered slurs. Those are not a good look.

    But to give an actual reply to your... expressed views, no. Neoliberalism, deregulation and privatisation is an issue in Germany, but there's still a significant difference between Germany and the United States. And if you had paid any attention at all you'd know that German policy is primarily a policy of national self-interest, and that Germany doesn't follow America blindly. German and American interests just happen to be broadly aligned (happened to be, anyway, considering the new US administration seems more interested in conflict with Germany and Germany's allies).

    Beyond that, most capitalist countries other than the United States have some form of universal healthcare system, I've just used Germany as an example because Germany was used as a point of comparison by someone else.

  • Germany is also a capitalist country. America's problems are more specific to America than they are to capitalism.

  • Yes, because ethnic cleansing famously doesn't cause loss of life. And even if you could somehow relocate millions of Gazans safely to a country that's willing and capable to accept them (of which there are none because the Arab nations aren't as much pro-Palestine as they are anti-Israel, one of the biggest mass murders of Palestinians was committed by Jordan) forcibly relocating people for a landgrab is still a crime against humanity. Even if it's not technically "genocide." Though considering the almost guaranteed loss of cultural heritage and consciousness calling cultural genocide would not be inappropriate in the slightest.

    For fuck's sake, I'm as pro-Israel as you can get and that's not something I can defend. It's completely inhumane. It's also exactly what I expected from a Trump presidency.

  • There won't be a hanging, nor any other form of execution. We don't do that here. It's uncivilised, it's brutal, and it's unnecessary.

  • There's zero indication that OP is ordering delivery often, so I'm not sure why you have jumped to that conclusion?

    Besides, whether or not ordering delivery often depends on what you're ordering and on your disposable income. McDonald's is far from the only option, plenty of real restaurants offer delivery too these days. If you can afford it, you can probably eat a fairly healthy diet even if you never cook. Not for me, in no small part because I usually enjoy cooking, but I'm not gonna judge people who don't. Doesn't affect me, I'm not gonna go out of my way to be annoyed.

  • And sometimes you're too tired for that or want something you can't reasonably make at home. There's nothing wrong with ordering food.

  • Ja, aber alleine halt nicht ausreichend. Klar ist die Sturmflut im Wohnzimmer Scheiße, aber kein Wohnzimmer zu haben weil du dir die Mieten nicht mehr leisten kannst, wenn du auch regelmäßige Mahlzeiten willst halt auch. Und auf diese Situation bewegen wir uns zu. Fokus rein auf den Klimawandel geht an den tatsächlichen Problemen der Ärmsten komplett vorbei.

    Edit - und das sage ich als Grünen-Wählerin.

  • Nope. I overestimated him.

    Doesn't mean that his party would go for an AfD coalition though. He hasn't even managed to get them to vote to pass a law with the AfD.

  • That's because NTFS isn't case-insensitive. If it was there'd be no two folders. Windows is a case-insensitive operating system running on a case-sensitive file system. It's pretty clear Microsoft wanted case sensitivity and then realised how much legacy software that'd break.

  • He won't, at least not this year. There are still too many people in the CDU who'd be up in arms against a coalition or any other form of formal cooperation with the AfD, and many of the CDU's voters are in the same boat. Not necessarily a majority in either case, but a big enough minority to kill any hopes of stable government or of winning an election with the party and electorate split.

    Merz knows that. He's an asshole, not stupid.

  • None, and I haven't in ages. No Google Wallet support is a dealbreaker.

  • On the one hand, yikes. On the other hand it's probably good that she doesn't vote, considering her views.

  • Imperial? Between Germany and China there's one country that claims territory belonging to virtually all of its neighbours - hint, that country is not Germany.
