I reject that kind of black and white thinking. We don’t have to classify people as either “cool” or “uncool”, or “good” and “bad”. We can criticize one thing someone does, while also praising something else that they do.

The people complaining about that are mostly the same as the ones who complained that the masks were “suffocating” them during covid.
Do they? I’m pretty sure only about one in three humans works in food production. I think it is reasonable for them to expect the other two to give them something for their food in return.
It’s nice to have something to eat.
One issue I have with hexbear is that you can’t argue with its users on hexbear itself. Most comments from outsiders are deleted within a day, and most of the users aren’t interested in discussions and simply resort to name calling and personal attacks. The more “sophisticated” ones will tell you to “read theory”. The amount of hexbear users actually capable of producing arguments seems to be very low, at least from my experience.
These issues exist on other instances as well of course, but on hexbear its particularly bad. The only other instances this toxic I have interacted with were lemmygrad and exploding-heads.
If there was a way, there’d be huge corporations offering it as a service.
“Vamos a la playa” by Righeira is about a nuclear catastrophe, but if you don’t speak spanish, you are likely to assume it’s just a good vibes summer song about going to the beach.
I compared these numbers to the general population (Source: https://www.wahlrecht.de/umfragen/ )
Support for the far right AfD is about 5 percentage points lower than among the general population (12% vs 17%)
For the conservative CDU/CSU it is 10 pp lower (20% vs 30%)
For the Social Democrats it is 3 pp lower (12% vs 15%)
For the liberal FDP it is 4 pp higher (8% vs 4%)
For the Greens it is about 4 pp higher (18% vs 14%)
For the Wagenknecht alliance, a weird mix of far right and far left, it is about the same (5%)
Unfortunately this article doesn’t mention the socialist left, which for the general population sits at around 3%
So, to conclude (and from my own experience) youths in Germany don’t deviate that much from the general population in terms of their political views. They tend to be less conservative and xenophobic. Most of them are somewhere in the center, having slightly more liberal tendencies than the general population.
Octopi are mostly solitary I think.
Neither, we just tend to look at the past with rose-colored glasses, forgetting how shitty things have always been.
it didn’t disappear, just got to small for you to see 😉
Pretty much everything. The world wide median per-capita household income is less than 3k USD per year. It is easy to forget how insanely wealthy we are in western Europe.
I have certainly put a lot of time into things without achieving the outcome I initially hoped for. I don’t think any of that was pointless though. All these experiences made me who I am today, each girlfriend or job that didn’t end up working out made me learn something about myself, each failed project taught me something, if only to be patient and deal with frustration.
I try to think that life is all about the journey, and not always arriving where you set out to go is what really makes it interesting.
Here’s someone who’s been blind since birth talking about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpUW9pm9wxs
Lel, of course they dream. Whether they see stuff in their dreams likely depends on whether they they never had sight in the first place, or lost it at some point in their lives.
I’d say an ally is someone you have an alliance with, so someone with who you have agreed to pursue a common goal. So yeah, I’d say if you are someone’s ally, they are also yours.
That differs somewhat from how it’s used in the LGBT+ community, where it refers to non-LGBT+ supporters of LGBT+ rights.
If you own housing that you rent out more than you use it yourself, you’re a landlord.
If you rent out your house or apartment while you’re on vacation, I wouldn’t call you a landlord. But if you have a house or apartment that you only ever offer on AirBNB without ever using it yourself, you’re a landlord.
Btw, I don’t agree that being a landlord makes you deserving of a guillotine, but I do agree that we should limit the ownership of housing to natural persons, with a limit on how much space a person can own.
Sounds like something one of my great grandparents would have said 5 to 10 years before being sent to a concentration camp.
I know in Germany murder is still murder if the murdered person consented to it.
Also, an autopsy isn’t just “randomly cutting someone apart”. The point of an autopsy is to determine a person’s couse of death and doesn’t just involve cutting the dead person open. You being alive means that an autopppsy, by definition, cannot be performed on you.
What you want is someone to mutilate and kill you. I’m pretty sure you can find someone willing to do that.
Side note: I think you overestimate how long you will stay conscious when the blood starts flowing, painkillers don’t fix your brain running out of oxygen.
