@paninid Might be interesting to you, since you boosted the toot i answered to.

Including the link again, since some people do not see my quotes, apparently: https://qoto.org/@admitsWrongIfProven/113688259460610951

@jilleduffy The funny thing about the german gouvernment collapse is that it has made our gouvernment work better, for the moment.
None of that "everything is closed" as the US like to do. Instead they got the budget in line because the reason for the "collapse" was the block-everything "liberal" (read: for the wealthy to the max) party exited the coalition.

@light @interfluidity Generally, yes. But with what our choices about transportation are, we clearly did not minimize risk. We didn't even really maximize convenience.

@vriska I'd say its amazing how realistic this is. Saw a video of a chicken snatch a mouse before a cat could get it. For big bird, a rabbit should be the minimum to be expected that it can kill.

@daswarkeinhuhn
Das hast du schön ausgedrückt, sehr nachvollziehbar.

Klima kuckt derweil, ob diese urban legend über frösche die nicht aus dem wasser springen wenn man die temperatur langsam erhöht mit menschen funktioniert.

@interfluidity Interesting thought, and synthesis with the "fucking magnets, how do they work?" meme yields "fucking magats, how do they work?"

Might well be they do work like that.

@daswarkeinhuhn Na ja, am Ende kommt das Geld von uns. Unsere Meinung ist nur eben nicht erwünscht. Gleiche Logik also, wer wenig hat soll geben, wer viel hat bekommen. Amen.

@GottaLaff Yeah, this is disturbing on many levels.
Ignoring the ethics part for a moment because it is already clear, this is totally wrong.

Part of why the nazis were so bad was because they were competent at waging war. They overreached and ultimately failed, but they did get far.

Now looking at the AFD, they may be good at propaganda, but are demonstrably bad at logistics, as seen in a small town that already has an AFD mayor and with their IT blunders.

So, in my best effort to ignore ethics and ask "how far would they come if elected?", the "can save" is totally wrong. They would mess up anything practical, and if they did start a war (in nazi tradition), "we" would loose badly, very soon.

@daswarkeinhuhn Ich denke mir halt, dass der künstlerische Anspruch nicht sofort zieht. Braucht vielleicht manchmal etwas, und ist auch oft nicht für die Masse der Leute, die abends müd von der Arbeit kommen.

Aber vorschreiben passt irgendwie nicht auf die Situation. Was Profit abwirft braucht ja keine Förderung, das wird so oder so produziert, für den Profit eben.

Also komme ich zu dem Schluss, dass man Geld zu Leuten schieben will, die eh schon gut verdienen. Traurig, aber nicht überraschend.

@daswarkeinhuhn Ja, die beiden sollten wohl sehr nahe beieinander sein. Hoher Unterhaltungswert für die Masse bedingt Profit, oder so ähnlich.

@daswarkeinhuhn Heißt das nicht im Endeffekt, dass künstlerischer Anspruch 100% raus ist, es zählt nur der Unterhaltungswert?

@the_etrain Look around. If a christian and muslim preacher entered alongside you, you might just be a typo in an old joke.

Lol, i had trouble with firefox on Arch (text looks bad, need to mark/unmark to re-render). Now i thought "maybe it gets fixed with the next update" and updated...
Ahahaha, it's worse. Now sometimes tabs don't load from bookmarks and i need to click again, with the text render problem still there.

Give me back my Netscape navigator and websites without any javascript at all, thanks.

@interfluidity Major point being in how far one can change that.
The most blatant thing being how it can be easy to start, but convoluted to impossible to stop.

Like if it makes sense to externalize ending contracts to temporary credit cards that can be easily revoked, the company sells a broken product.

@interfluidity That is correct, but i would rather point to our collective acceptance of the level of danger the specific rules and existing cars pose, not the cars themselves.

Even though most parking spaces are not practical for SUVs, those become more common here, too. Just as a second remarkable thing beyond the speed limit topic.

The deaths surely scale with both, and both could not be if a majority would not accept it.

I'm thinking mainly of what peaceful, nonviolent protest i have read about - environmentalists letting air out of the tires of SUVs, without destroying them. A rare occurrence. And even less would probably make a difference, like communicating to suv owners that this is unethical if they don't need the car for the specific offroad purpose.

It's not the cars, it's us, giving in to convenience.

@interfluidity This joke did not age well. Just a day after i wrote it, someone was a buzzkill.

Brings me back to how we have such dangerous things (cars) and how we arbitrarily set what level of danger (for example speed limit) for convenience. Acutally safe would get nobody anywhere.

The directed killing (likely here, but not definitely clear yet) makes a big news splash, but we die by the thousands (2800 traffic deaths in germany 2023) in accidents.

@PippiPunkstrumpf Puh, dass es die Todesstrafe überhaupt gibt dort. Dass überhaupt irgendjemand da freiwillig wohnt.
Absurd.

@OpenComputeDesign If she felt like she needed to make sure, why did she feel that way? Are your parents possibly that draining? What are you doing to deal with it, could you expect the same from her?

@OpenComputeDesign I have secrets i do not talk about. Those are pretty constrained in nature, about myself. I can sling mud about anyone around me if i want to. Not that i would want to, but i could.
Might your trauma be a secret you wish to conceal? Might accepting that shit was bad shake your foundation of how life is?

@OpenComputeDesign Point would be why would she do that, not if you saw her.
Any possible reason? You said your dad did some things he should not have, might that have done anything?
