Wer in dieser Wahl AfD gewählt hat, hat seine Stimme bewusst Verfassunfsfeinden gegeben. Das ist ein Fakt. Die AfD hat buchstäblich Spione als Spitzenkandidaten nominiert. 16% haben sich davon nicht aufhalten lassen. Wenn das irgendwas belegt, dann das: Diese Menschen sind für die Demokratie verloren.

Namen, Gesichter, Details; das lässt sich diskutieren, ob Medien das dürfen. Aber das hat was mit dem Datenschutz zu tun, nicht mit der Frage, ob Medien eine stark wertende Position einnehmen sollten.

Ich glaube der gesellschaftliche Aufschrei ist dringend notwendig. Wir bräuchten viel mehr davon. Wir müssen uns als Gesellschaft endlich wieder einigen, dass Nazi-Ideologie etwas zutiefst Empörendes ist. Nazis sollten sich schämen, so zu denken. Die sollten zu spüren kriegen, dass sie in Opposition zu allem stehen, was die Gesellschaft vertritt. Sie sollten sich alleine fühlen.

Apathie und Abwarten sind Steigbügelhalter des Faschismus. Und ja, das führt zu dem oft genannten Paradox, denn natürlich will ich nicht, dass andere Weltanschauungen so behandelt werden. Aber der Preis der Alternative ist einfach zu hoch. Nazi-Meinungen sind nicht gleichberechtigt mit anderen Anschauungen, dürfen sie nicht sein, und dazu gehört natürlich die mediale Berichterstattung.

Das ist ein privater Verein. Die können tun und lassen was sie wollen.

Und wir Privatleute dürfen das so richtig scheiße finden, inklusive Anmaßungen und Gegenaktionen.

Dreckstraditionen verdienen keinen Respekt.

BS headline. Side effects are not the reason it's withdrawn.

Well the launcher can hardly get any worse.

Today I found out there's no way to change the default install location. And I learned this just today because I so rarely use it. Why is this launcher such a mess. It's seriously like they're not even trying.

Communication about times would get so much easier, communication about schedules would get so much easier.

Except that it wouldn't. It would make communication about time a culture sensitive topic. Sure, the exact time of day in relation to the position of the sun might get lost with our current system, but if someone tells you "I've slept til 12am" at least you know it was somewhat around noon. Under your new system you'd always have to consider where someone lives.

Oh but there are many steps missing.

You start the launcher -> it forgot your device and password, so wait for the confirmation code via mail, enter your info again, then solve three capchas

Browse the store -> except there's no functioning tag search and the shop sucks, so you need to know exactly what to buy and how it's called to even find it

Chose a game -> but there's no tabs or secondary windows, so every time you inspect a shop page and try to get back your search gets reset; please enter all your search criteria again and scroll back to the point you've been before

Start the game -> but your own library is a hot mess; click through 13 pages of huge icons representing an alphabetical order until you find the picture representing what you want to play

And then you play.

As long as you don't notice Epic all is smooth sailing. Every step of actually using the launcher is a pain though. Sometimes I forget how annoying it all is and try again. Aaaaaand it forgot my device and password again. Then I curse at my PC and open steam.

Basically, "every opinion I don't like is a religion."

He won't wear that permanently, they just wanted a memeable picture for the press release.

It didn't, at least not in the way you think. The headlines of the past few days show the aftermath of the last decades: industry contracts that were made in the last century and the political heritage of a generation of politicians who are no longer in power.

Coal is being phased out and that's not changing. It cannot change substantially anyway; there is only so much coal in the gound. Recent political decisions moved to keep most of it there. For technological, political, economical and industry related reasons this won't be a fast process unfortunately.

One of the roadblocks of our transition to a sustainable energy supply is how much money (and in our capitalisic society, therefore, power) the industry itself holds. Coal lobbies will work hard for you not to think about them too much. Nuclear lobbies will work hard for you to blame those pesky environmentalists. A game of distraction and blame shifting. This thread is a good example of how well it's working.

Our resources are limited. This is true for good old planet earth as well as our societies. We only have so much money, time, and workforce to manage this transition. And as much as I'd love to wake up tomorrow to a world with PVC on every roof, a windmill on every field, and decentralised storage in every town center, this is just not realistic overnight. We'll have to live with the fact of our limited resources and divert as much as possible of them towards such a future. (And btw, putting billions of dollars in money, time, and workforce towards a reactor that will start working in 10-30 years is not the way to do this, as much as the nuclear lobby would like you to think that.)

Age of consent in Germany is a staggered system. With 14 you're able to consent under specific conditions (them being there's no exploitative element to the relationship), but still could file charge against the older person if they're over 16. With 16 the first rule still applies; from 18 on you're able to consent, period.

So for example when I was 14 I had a boyfriend, also 14, and neither of us committed any crime under this ruling. The law acknowledges that teenagers are allowed to have relationships with each other while putting every borderline case through a case-by-case hearing at court.

It's actually a really good idea, so it kinda is a fun fact.

Not to mention how it starts with

"We write in response to the ridiculous letter you sent our clients on behalf of X Corp."

They are not taking any BS. I love it.
