It’s wild to me, that there seem to be so many payment schemes.

In Germany you get paid monthly, either always on the first or always 15th, but that’s pretty much all variation we have. Even unemployment benefits and parental leave support is monthly.

It’s just a question of time. Every platform will devolve into either obscurity or cesspool.

Learning from a history and putting on a pseudopatriotic show to paint over any responsibility is not quite the same.

The US killed literally one or two orders of magnitude more civilians in retaliation for 9/11 and still acts like it was the second largest tragedy in the history of mankind, only slightly below the Holocaust.

Yes, 3000 victims is really bad, but what the US is doing about it is pathetic. It’s a simulacrum.

There’s more airport security, alright. But is that really that much of a change?

Especially if you consider how much of the security theater was added well after 9/11, because of other incidents.

Where exactly? It’s pretty spot on.

Germany has a worker problem right now.

Amazon pays 2€/h above minimum wage for warehouse workers, Lidl pays 1€ above minimum wage for stocking shelves.

Yes, there are issues with job training, but a) nurses don’t get paid that bad (a single mom nurse managed to get me through school and a master’s degree) and b) you can’t find any workers at all, currently. Germany has de facto full employment right now. Those who are unemployed are almost always unable or not allowed to work.

Like, not being able to run it on a perfectly capable machine, just because someone at MS decided it’s not new enough? Yeah, minor annoyance.

Then how exactly do you outsource nurses, bus drivers, retail workers and plumbers?

That’s almost always the case.

Just think about airports. The planes themselves are highly protected, but everything before security is essentially public area. You could quite literally put a ton of explosives on one of those baggage carts, rolled it into a packed airport during holiday saison and blow up hundreds of people.

It seems like very few terrorists are reasonably intelligent.

Sounds conspiratorial, but is serious: is there some legal category for events with more than 35 dead?

I wouldn’t call it perfectly fine. It’s a bad decision made for the wrong reasons, but it’s also not a disaster.

It’s like coke in a mug. Weird, not ideal, but serviceable.

And pihole.

What I find really worrying though is the trend to pick headlines that don’t summarize, but sensationalize and twist the content. And that’s not just a tabloid problem.

I know that this is designed to generate more clicks, but since most people skip most of the content, only the headlines stick. And if these are wrong, misinformation will stick.

And let’s be honest: 90% of news articles don’t contain more relevant information for me than the headline.

“Politician said X” has almost never any effect on my life.

I just scrolled through the front page of Der Spiegel. The first 10 articles are speculations about campaign decisions, analyses of things already known, and opinion pieces of some mildly knowledgeable people.

Yeah, that’s mostly irrelevant. Yes, some background would be nice, but I don’t have time to read about everything that isn’t of consequence for me anyway.

Most people don’t shut down their Macs that often, the fingerprint sensor on the keyboard acts as a power button 99% of the time.

Stupid decision, but almost inconsequential in real life.

Which makes it even more concerning that people who apparently didn’t even have time to fall in a conspiratorial rabbit hole don’t manage to distinguish between a not so great candidate and a raging lunatic.

Why, though?

A french press is literally the easiest way to make coffee. There’s hardly anything to fuck up and it’s dirt cheap - like 10€ at Ikea.

And that refutes what argument?

And I think, you have absolutely no idea how incredibly expensive nuclear power is.

Solar power is literally free during the day in Germany right now. Investing a few hundred million in storage is much much much cheaper and easier to scale than building a nuclear power plant that will only start producing energy in 20 years or so.

If you count the numbers of As, H, and Os in his last tweets, it’s clearly 23, 11, 24. That can’t be a coincidence!!
