The Russian regime and its obsession with waging war against sovereign nations is the problem. No one with a sane mind hates the Russian populace. Same with the Chinese. Many people do seem to hate on Arabs for whatever dumb reasons (racism, cultural differences etc.) but that's a different discussion.
So you're cool with what happened at tiananmen square? Or maybe you deny anything bad happened there? Because that's what being a tankie is all about. Tankie != Communist.
A communist isn't a tankie per sé. Tankies are people who blindly follow authoritarians of a communist regime and defend/deny the gruesome acts committed by said authoritarians. The idea behind communism is a valid one. In a perfect world, communism would lead to the star Trek utopia. Problem is, assholes will always take advantage and turn everything to shit. I still prefer communism over the heap of flaming shit most of the world lives in.
My mom and I are German, though at that point in time I didn't even have any relation to Germany at all, other than having a German passport. It was nice growing up in Amsterdam, but some people just really, really hated the Germans. I just remember my Dutch teacher, Vincent Koetsier, who talked about a tragic accident in which a bus full of tourists drove off a cliff or something and everyone on board was dead. After a couple of seconds of silence he just went "fortunately most of them were Germans" just to top it off with a classy "gore rotmoffen". He knew my mom and I were German.
The good thing about this is, that the younger generations and my classmates were shocked by his behavior and reported him. He never returned to school after that day.
But yeah, our car had a German license plate in the first year of living there. I stopped counting the amount of times our windows were broken.
The 90s were crazy. Still loved it and I truly miss the Netherlands.
Precies, gore rotnazis. Kind of weird how my family and I were called these things by the older generations when we lived there and now there's actual nazis running around like that.
Sorry for sounding so harsh, I thought this was common knowledge but I appear to be mistaken. That verse was sung under the Nazi regime and essentially puts Germany above every other country and thing in the world. And that was Hitler's goal after all.
We stick with "Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit für das deutsche Vaterland" since the end of WW2.
Not really. People stop analyzing problems via critical thinking because things are becoming too convenient. Just look at social media. It's so easy to access information, people stop analyzing the data and blindly believe things that they're fed via the algorithms. These algorithms highly favor controversial material because it boosts visibility of ads. This wasn't always the case. It became this way because it's an easy way to make money. Now that money isn't enough, it's abused for political power.
For now LLMs might seem like a good tool, but if people lose the ability to do their own research, what stops them from believing just about anything an LLM bot tells them? Remember how grok turned into a Nazi bot? That wasn't very long ago...
It just takes one generation to completely lose this ability. Don't take it so lightly please. At least try to keep yourself mentally aware of potential problems with tech. Especially since almost all of the tech is owned by Nazi cunts.
Hasn't been part of it for a long time... For very good reasons. Let's not bring it back please. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to sing that verse in Germany and I'd rather have it stay that way.
Shut the fuck up. I don't want to live in a Europe without open borders. I'm already fucking annoyed that I have to go through border controls when entering and coming back from Denmark. It's fucking bullshit. Borders will not stop refugees, even if they were the problem. Fuck you for trying to appease the brainwashed masses, you fucking dick. Trying to take away my freedom, you dumb asshole.
People I like aren't billionaires and billionaires aren't people. They're what's wrong with humanity at this point in time. If there's a better way of getting rid of them, I'm all for it. But I'm not seeing any billionaires put to jail...
They're all the same and most of their answers are complete horseshit. Don't give in to this shit, it makes you lose your ability to discern truth from lies. It's just another tool to turn people into mindless, propaganda-gobbling zombies.
Anyhow, if you want quick photos that look good without additional editing, then phones are likely your best bet. I'm not aware of compact cameras that have the kind of computing power and enhancement algorithms on board. I don't like the kind of photos iPhones makez but you'll fool most people with the pictures you take on an iPhone. There are also quite a few good android phones.
Mirrorless cameras are the way to go if you want to change lenses but that'll be way over the budget you set yourself. Even the a6400 costs a small fortune when paired with a good lens or two, and that's really the beginner's segment. Then you need good software for developing the raw photos and that's a hobby itself.
Jupp, der Dude ist absolut stabil.
