In Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: “From what we see and know, we can conclude that hundreds of thousands of Moldovans were deprived of the opportunity to vote in Russia because there were only two polling stations open to them, which was of course insufficient.”

What? Kremlin’s saying their party in Moldova didn’t win because they didn’t manage to organize enough polling stations in Russia? Tough luck bro!

Oooder: Will man die Leitungen oberirdisch verlegen, wird sich über die optische Verschandelung der Landschaft beschwert, will man sie unterirdisch verlegen, laufen die Bauern wieder Sturm, weil man ihnen durch den Acker aufbuddeln will… Da muss man nicht Mal sowas rationales wie den Preis ins Feld führen.

When Ant-Man grows to giant size, a breeze would blow him away.

Wait what? Is that canon? I only watched the movies. Growing in size but not increasing your mass proportionally sounds like a shitty super power because you would probably still punch like a normal human.

Also: Drool… My kids chewed on my more time than I can count…

“Sich in die Scheiße reiten” bedeutet, dass man die eigene Situation aktiv verschlechtert.

Einfach ausgedrückt: “vom Regen in die Traufe kommen” 😉

Ich finde, was dieser Bewertung (nur 7 % machen jedes Jahr machen ein FSJ) immer außer Acht gelassen wird, ist der wirtschaftliches Aspekt: Ein FSJ muss man sich leisten können.

Der Betrieb, für den ich arbeite, beschäftigt FSJler:innen und wir zahlen denen pro Monat ca. 550 € Taschengeld + bei eigener Wohnung ca. 160 € Mietkostenzuschuss, die ja eher eine nette Geste sind, statt die Miete zu bezahlen.

Die jungen Menschen, die sich für uns engagieren, denken dabei ganz oft sehr pragmatisch über das FSJ nach und häufig sind es Leute, die dieses Jahr keinen Ausbildungsplatz gefunden haben, die Schulpflicht noch nicht erfüllt haben und ansonsten ein Jahr in einer Ausbildungsvorbereitung säßen. Eine andere Gruppe nutzt das FSJ als Ausbildungsorientierung. Kaum einer gibt an, das FSJ aus ehrentamlichen Beweggründen zu machen.

Ich finde das auch total legitim und das zeigt, dass unsere Freiwilligen mehr als genug materiellen Struggle haben und sich in der Regel nicht den Luxus haben, einfach so eine Ehrenrunde zur Persönlichkeitsentwicklung und um der Gesellschaft etwas zurück zu geben, zu drehen.

Wenn man das verstanden hat, muss man zum Schluss kommen, dass das FSJ finanziell attraktiver werden muss (jedes Ausbildungsgehalt bietet mehr) und am besten noch andere Vorteile für sei Freiwilligen bieten muss, die für sie direkt verwertbar sind (verpflichtende Ausbildungsvorbereitung in den Seminaren?).

Wouldn’t it be great if Rheinmetall were socialized and its profits went to the public instead of shareholders?

That’s easier said than done…

I don’t think this is the whole secret because that’s basically what our left party in Germany is doing and they’re at 11 % in polls…

People are looking for an enemy image onto which they can project their frustration, and they are not willing to target the wealthy class because they irrationally hope to belong to it someday. Instead, they direct their frustration against the poorer and weaker, as it is much easier to distinguish oneself from a group that one definitely does not want to belong to.

This is class struggle from above…

Yes! This is such a game changer it should be promoted more!

Will they? That would be awesome but I haven’t found any information on that.

Auf die Barrikaden, Genossys!

I don’t know if I’d go so far as to say it’s by design, but I definitely share your observation that capitalism doesn’t leave much time and energy you would need to pursue hobbies, and it’s way easier to get a dopamine high by consuming.

Even if this phenomenon is not by design, it is definitely synergizing very well with capitalism, and therefore there are people who exploit it and, in turn, support capitalism with their actions.

It is actually a depressing example of Niklas Luhmann’s systems theory, which states that every system inherently tends to stabilize itself.

Ugh… There’s this sales / tech guy for this atrocious software I have to use. Everytime I have an issue and report it to him, he’s like “Oh, give me remote access and let me see if I can fix it right away.”

Dude… You have full access to my terminal server and in general the issues I report are not specific to my user account. So please let me work and do your thing without bothering me. When you have a lead and need my input please report back to me.

How does it compare to Duplicati?

Reading actual books (on paper!) in the bathtub is what I’ll never get: How do you flip pages? Do you dry your hands for each page or do you just live with soggy pages? Also the humidity in general is bad for your books… That’s why e-readers are so awesome.

That footpath is absolutely gorgeous! I envy you! I have a garden too but with three little kids too little time and money to really care for it and make some substantial changes. But I have some raised garden beds which is nice.

I am pretty sure he stepped down to protect his parliamentary group. If he hadn’t taken one for the team the AfD would’ve scandalised this topic even more and may have damaged the SPD and / or the Green party.
