Yeah, well this isn’t a democracy where people have a say in what happens in our society. Our feudal elite decides what will happen, so stop complaining.

And it only triggers if enough other people are already on their way to safer places.

The TikTok trend is the latest example of how Chinese products and consumables are enjoying a cultural cachet they’ve never had before globally.

Well, if the TikTok algorithm says it’s popular, who am I to doubt it?

I like that he is mocking US defaultism and that “the only country” on the Global Peace Council logo “you can fully see” is the US - when you can see at least Mexcio, Honduras, El Salvador, Panama, Nicaragua, Belize, Costa Rica, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and Canada.

Degiheugi (Hip Hop) - technically a single artist, not a band ;)

It’s not about sex, it’s about power.

He killed her. Apparently, that’s funny.

AFAIK their stance is to use sanctions first. I agree that there are still too many “pro russia” (or at least “russia-naive”) voices in this party, but I think it is an interesting question: why don’t we sanction everything that’s possible?

The answer is of course money. But it’s not (necessarily) a sign of being “pro russia” if you’d rather sacrifice some economical growth than people’s lifes.

Plus: their federal chairman Jan van Aken said sanctions would have more impact if they come all at once. Russia’s economic system could (somewhat) adjust step by step to the individual sanctions. Harsh sanctions from the beginning might have been a shock to their system from which it could not have (so easily) recovered, That sounds rather plausible to me.

What about dystopian surveillance tech?

Sounds like suicide out of fear of death.

The “jeans and (white) shirt” tier seems to be missing.

I’m pretty sure “everyone” did it for Myanmar as well. And in Germany we changed from Weißrussland to Belarus.

What are you talking about? The Court of Justice of the EU ruled against Poland and fined them for [~half a billion €}(https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-court-finds-poland-guilty-in-rule-of-law-dispute/). The EU started an Article 7 procedure against them and stopped it after the new government started to implement changes.

Oh, and the new government came into power through voting, I didn’t know that’s something “clearly fascist” countries do.

Why?

It’s the president of St. Pauli who said that. St. Pauli is strictly antifascist and has recently formed a cooperative to buy the stadium, so it’s not really representative for German soccer officials in general (though still a good thing to start this discussion).

I thought the two genders were non-binary and binary?

We have others, but they don’t get elected as chancellors.

No, growing up in a violent environment is the (or rather a) problem.

Even if the code is flawless now, all it takes is a single flawed line of new code. This is of course true for all languages, but type safety helps a lot as some types of flaws would not compile.
