  • Should Election Day Become A Federal Holiday? Weighing The Benefits And Drawbacks

    Jump

  • From my point of view both the police and the judges are getting heavily influenced by people with a less democratic agenda in mind.

    Something like that would've never worked years ago - but with 4 more years of Trump handpicking judges? I wouldn't even be sure the Supreme Court would strike something lime that down if it's done subtle enough.

  • Should Election Day Become A Federal Holiday? Weighing The Benefits And Drawbacks

    Jump

  • There is one argument against everyone voting by mail that I accept:People could be making "let's go vote together"-meetups to make sure their friends are voting what they "should" - which would destroy freedom and privacy of the vote which are fundamental.The same can also happen in abusive relationships where one partner can take away the freedom to vote what they want from the other by standing behind them when they fill out their ballot.

    Voting by mail is safe, but because of those two it should NEVER be the de-facto standard. It's great to have more people voting - but whoever can should still vote personally if possible.

    I know the setup of the voting booths is way worse in the US than here in Germany so both the way to them and the lines in front of them are longer, so that decision might flip towards voting by mail quicker, but imho voting in person should remain the standard - just because noone can look over your shoulder when you're making your cross in that setting

  • Yeah - it's an art to find the perfect mix between "sounds complicated enough that they zone out", "sounds like stuff gets done" and "not making people ask if you need help with that".

  • Donors

    Jump

  • Anonymous usually means that they don't want their name to show up publicly.

    There's almost certainly knowledge of who that money is coming from at least with a couple of persons that received the funds.

  • Donors

  • So someone donates money to their city's library with the specific purpose that they can expand their building to have more space that's a bribe?

  • Donors

    Jump

  • Should it? I get that political parties should report donors - but for nonprofits and other institutions I feel it's not that necessary since they are directly investing that money in projects (that the donor may choose - but if that's not the case then that investment isn't happening) - for political parties and politicians it can be seen as a bribe as the things they invest in usually don't have a direct return of investment.

    And there should be rules and regulations making sure that that donation is not ending up in some kind of contract for the company of the donor but that whatever that investment is funding has a transparent process

    Where do we draw the line? Should donors to libraries be made public even if that person wants to remain anonymous but fund an expansion? Should donors to non-profits be made public?

  • rbb24 Abendschau: Neuer Trend: Gassi gehen mit Katzen - hier anschauen

  • Ist schon schwierig

    Katzen drinnen halten ist mMn schon fast Tierquälerei - frei draußen rumlaufen lassen ist aber leider extrem schädlich für den Vogelbestand...

  • AMD hides Taiwan branding on Ryzen CPU packaging as it preps new chips for China market release — company uses black sticker to erase origin information

    Jump

  • I mean AMD heavily relies on Taiwan being independent to even be the company they are. If China takes over most people in power and all the shareholders are fucked - so in this instance it actually makes sense even from a company standpoint to do malicious compliance

    Aktueller Stand der Klimaschutzdebatte

    Jump

  • ja nur haben die anderen Parteien das beim Klimaschutz (leider) begriffen und besetzen das Thema jetzt ausschließlich negativ - aber bei der Migration geht's immer schön mit Anlauf weiter in Richtung AfD-Rethorik weil man da einfach nicht draus lernen will...

  • Klimaklage vorm Verfassungsgericht

  • Das Gesetz müsste dann verändert werden.

    Und wenn das nicht passiert?

  • Warum Frauen ein stärkeres Immunsystem haben als Männer

    Jump

  • Also in meinen bisherigen Beziehungen war es immer anders herum - ich bin vielleicht alle 2 Jahre mal so krank dass es mich total aus der Bahn haut aber sonst gesund (wenn auch mit fast permanent laufender Nase im Winter) und meine Freundinnen sind alle 3-4 Monate so krank gewesen dass sie nicht arbeiten konnten.

    Klar nur anekdotisch aber ich hatte eher das Gefühl in meinem Umkreis dass es Frauen häufiger erwischt aber meist nicht so schwer (vielleicht auch einfach nur deutlich höhere Toleranz gegen Schmerzen und Unwohlsein durch die Regelblutung)

  • Klimaklage vorm Verfassungsgericht

    Jump

  • Jo - nur was passiert dann wenn die sagen dass das illegal war? Beugehaft gegen einen C.L.?

    Ist die Polizei nicht dem Innenministerium unterstellt? Wer würde das durchsetzen?

    Aktueller Stand der Klimaschutzdebatte

    Jump

  • Ich finde es so frustrierend wie sich bei der letzten Wahl alle Parteien mit Klimaschutz überboten haben und dann gesehen haben dass das ja nur den Grünen Wählerstimmen bringt weil die das als Kernthema haben und dann konsequent aufgehört haben dass Thema zu bespielen um nicht noch mehr Wähler zu verlieren, dass man aber bei Migration immer noch nicht kapiert dass das am Ende auch nur Leute zur AFD bringt wenn man sich da gegenseitig überbietet.
