“We need to work longer in order to maintain the prosperity that generations have built up since the end of World War II,”

And where is that prosperity? The richest 10% of households own over 60% of net wealth, while the bottom 20% have no wealth at all. The top 10 percent of the german population accounts for around 61.2 percent of total wealth, with approximately 10.5 trillion euros.

And the difference between the top and the bottom only keeps growing. Because most of the profit generated by selling our work goes to the super-rich. This means lifting the retirement age will only increase the difference between poor and rich and mostly benefit the rich, who can retire early or work leisurely at will, while grinding down the old and poor.

We could easily take care of everyone in Germany if only we would commit to redistribute wealth more fairly instead of from the bottom to the top.

If you’re only running angry, old, white men…

Australia recognizing Palestine and having beef with Netanyahu while protecting their own jewish community from iranian organized attacks seems based.

Not just reclaiming, also simply claiming. Poldering is no joke!

Bro referred to “his” Sturm&Drang Zeit, which has nothing to do with actual Sturm&Drang and is a valid expression, that you in your wealth of self importance decided to “uhm aaaaactshualllyyyy”

Hence the downvotes.

Right?! That’s dangerous! You’re creating a potential accident site on the side of the road.

Except for the Good Friday dancing and video prohibitions, all the rules are good rules and sufficiently explained imho.

Emperor Cheesar accepting gold tribute from his feudal vassal

To quote Tim Minchin:

Isn’t this enough?
Just this world?
Just this
Beautiful, complex, wonderfully unfathomable, natural world?
How does it so fail to hold our attention that we have to diminish it with the invention of
Cheap, man-made myths and monsters?
If you’re so into your Shakespeare
Lend me your ear
“To gild refined gold
To paint the lily
To throw perfume on the violet
Is just fucking silly”
Or something like that
Or what about Satchmo?!
“I see trees of Green
Red roses too”
And fine, if you wish to glorify Krishna and Vishnu in a post-colonial, condescending bottled-up and labeled kind of way then whatever, that’s ok
But here’s what gives me a hard-on
I am a tiny
Insignificant, ignorant bit of carbon
I have one life
And it is short and unimportant
But thanks to recent scientific advances
I get to live twice as long as my great great great great uncleses and auntses
Twice as long
To live this life of mine
Twice as long to love this wife of mine
Twice as many years of friends and wine
Of sharing curries and getting shitty at good-looking hippies with fairies on their spines and butterflies on their titties

I know it’s about superstition, new-age nonsense and “spirituality”, not other planets. But it’s just so on point to me for everything where we fail to appreciate this wonderful world around us.

I’m not a doctor, just a curious guy with an equally curious girlfriend and since we like to be informed we’ve read up on stuff. Also I suffer from irritable bowel syndrome so I know a little bit about that. But if you have serious questions don’t ask me, ask a medical professional.

Having said that, that clear, slimy butt-juice is called mucus, it’s what’s coating your colon and just a little bit of slimy mucus in your stool is normal.

Large amounts of clear(ish) stool could be something a doctor should look into.

Yes, the need to defecate is (mostly) governed by the rectal walls stretching.

So, behind your anus, there is your rectum, it’s a chamber that is usually empty, only if the colon is too full or shortly before you defecate does it get filled with stool.

Normal farts are gas coming from your colon and filling your rectum like a balloon, when you fart all that pressure is released and because the rectum is usually empty, only gas escapes.

But when you do have stool in your rectum… for example because your colon is overflowing into it or because the consistency of your stool is too fluid to be held back from the rectum, then that depressurization will push out with it the other content of your ass, straight into your underpants.

This is btw. how anal-sex is usually cleaner than people imagine it to be, because the rectum is (usually) empty and (mostly) clean.

Still… wash your hands/dick/toy before touching anyone, anything or anywhere else. Generally be hygienic guys.

Nice

“I main in science degree of Evolutionary Biology” has a weird ring to it.

Honestly that was my read too.

We know AI won’t replace us and if it does we’ll come back for more money than before.

Hey,

@JennieBreeden@lemmy.sdf.org @jenniebreeden@lemmy.world

I love you and your comic, but there are some good points here.

Accurate but also not. PewDiePie came out in favour and PirateSoftware lied about it. But I think Thor lying created a huge burst of coverage about how he’s wrong and really created lots of noise about it.

Look, folks, I’ve been hearing a lot, a lot, about this thing called Linux. Ever heard of it? Sounds European, doesn’t it? Probably invented in Brussels, or Sweden, maybe Russia, I don’t know. Total disaster. I call it Socialist Windows, because that’s what it is! It’s chaotic, no one’s in charge. Total mess. Bernie Sanders running an IT department, terrible. Meanwhile, Windows, great American company, by the way, very successful, very strong.

Study after study has shown that the ROI for foreign aid is positive and indicative of an overall positive effect for the country giving the aid.

I’m only writing that to express that there are no moral and no economical reasons to reduce foreign aid. Even the right should be in favour of aid, as it lessens the amount of immigration and asylum and has a positive effect on GDP.

The only reasons to reduce foreign aid are populism, a change in political culture of the receiver (for example giving less money to Israel) and to shuffle it around in the budget, for example what Germany did with its infrastructure costs… declaring them a military necessity to be able to increase the military budget to appease Trump while still repairing our roadways.

But that is afaik not happening here… this is stupid populism.
