Hi! :)

[she/her]

Nazis, tankies and terrorist justifiers can kindly fuck off.

  • Because fixing something from the inside takes work and time. And it's not like it wasn't happening (as much as I'm not a fan of it because I actually am one of the evil liberals people here love to complain about), people like AOC or Tlaib would never have been prominent voices ~20 years ago. But generational change happens over a timespan of, and I feel that it's very odd that I need to point this out, generations.

  • Really? I find spelling out "national socialist" much more impactful than using "Nazi" simply because it isn't generally used as casually (like in "grammar nazi" etc).

  • Nazi is just shorthand for national socialist. It means the exact same thing. The article did call them what they are.

  • Rats are smart.

  • Worth noting that the German system is horrifically inefficient due to being half-privatised and having dozens of layers of bureaucracy doing the exact same thing in dozens of insurance companies.

    And it still has holes that people can fall through and end up uncovered. Germany is not a good example for universal healthcare. We've basically coasted on "eh, good enough" since Bismarck and only made minor adjustments instead of creating something like a Federal Health Service.

  • I'm sorry but (all other issues with the scene aside) pretending that performative "apologies" are a good thing actually is genuinely problematic. Performative apologies are inherently manipulative by drawing attention away from the thing you're apologising for and by being designed to be an effort that feels bad to reject.

  • Um ein theoretisches deutsches Atomwaffenprogramm glaubwürdig zu machen braucht es definitiv eine sichere Quelle für waffenfähiges Material.

  • If all apps that you want to use work, there's no reason for you to be concerned.

  • Hast du den Artikel gelesen? Das Uran kommt aus Russland.

    Ich bin prinzipiell nicht Mal gegen die Idee einer deutschen Variante der Japan-Option um im Fall eines amerikanischen NATO-Austritts die deutsche und europäische Sicherheit gewährleisten zu können, aber dieser Reaktor trägt nicht wirklich dazu bei.

  • The problem with DA2 was that it was a decent game but a bad sequel. I've come to appreciate it but when I first played it I was incredibly disappointed. I did not want a personal narrative, I wanted freedom to role-play.

  • Gerhard Schröder is a strong contender for that title as well.

  • There is a difference between keeping diplomatic channels open and actively legitimising Putin's régime by visiting Russia to attend a summit.

  • You can't blame people for needing a job. They probably don't exactly have a choice other than to keep working.

  • Legally it's still a licence.

  • ...

  • The entire eastern block adopted Lysenkoism.

    The USSR also abused medical science to imprison dissidents in mental institutions based on false diagnoses.

  • War für mich tatsächlich in der Grundschule verpflichtend. Allerdings geschlechterunabhängig für alle und damit durchaus sinnvoll imo. Zumindest einen Knopf sollte wirklich jede/r wieder annähen können.

  • As yet another 30-something year old I've never even seen a cheque. Is that a USA thing?

  • Using the pasta water for the sauce makes it less runny. YMMV on whether that's a good thing.

  • As another 90s kid that watched the prequels in theatres as they came out: I enjoyed the originals, even though I was only about half your age at the time. Probably worth noting that my mum made sure that I watched the original trilogy before Phantom Menace. And I'm sorry but the acting in the PT is supposed to be better than in the OT? What? No. Nothing against the actors because a lot of it was due to writing (especially for Anakin and Padmé's shared scenes, especially especially in II where Anakin is such a fucking creep) and direction, but no.
