@STP @brightside @jeffowski my old landlords rented out for a really fair price and were nice people. their "extra" asset is very likely worth this amount now because of the housing market.

they would be forced to sell just because of this tax. the house would go to some conglomerate and then would be rented out for the maximum price.

then the next round of complains about the housing market starts, with dimwits calling for more interventionism.

rinse and repeat.

In Belgium, for example, we propose that anyone with 1.25 million euros in assets in addition to their main home and business assets should qualify as "ultra-rich".

just admit you want to finally complete project EUSSR.

now it's 1.25 million extra that's verboten, tomorrow it's a house and a car.

i'd rather burn all my belongings than pay up for your nightmare of future.

@kmj
das problem ist das "gesetzesübertretung" durch die gesetze definiert ist, nicht durch moralische betrachtung. dafür ist das posivistische rechtssystem verantwortlich. das 3. reich war auch legal, verfolgt wurden dort auch nur gesetzesbrecher.

ich lasse auch nicht "wusste es nicht besser" gelten: entweder man ist herr seiner sinne. dann hat man sein eigenes tun auch in aller konsequenz selbst zu verantworten. oder eben nicht, dann kann man sich die übung mit demokratie komplett sparen und gleich kollektivismus draus machen.

(im umkehrschluss sagen die kollektivistischen bestrebungen allerorts mmn. viel über das menschenbild unserer volksvertreter aus.)

@kmj die teile der gesellschaft (leider die mehrheit) die spalten, haben gar kein interesse daran das zu ändern. dann müssten sie einsehen das sie lügen aufgesessen sind.

Not gonna dunk on your friday, but tomorrow is the anniversary of the nagasaki bombing. hiroshima was 3 days earlier. two hundred thousand people died on those days, which is about the same order of magnitude as the deaths in the ukraine war.

@icedquinn is that the timeline where the internet is based on the OSI stuff? :D

@DCR dms gibts hier einfach nicht so viele wie rossmänner, die sind gefühlt an jeder straßenecke :D

@DCR die werden wieder normale autos kaufen. genauso wie leihwagenfirmen.

puh, so dies und das hol ich da schon. und fotos ausdrucken kann man da!

aber das geht auch alles im internet :)

@ThatCrazyDude probably because the EU does some extra low processing to fuck with them after brexit.

I know bunnies exist, I know pictures of them exist, I have several videos of bunnies, I am cognizant of the existence of bunnies. You're welcome to remind me that they exist. I know. I know bunnies exist guys. Every time somebody sees an bunny they have to tag me, like a joyful compulsion to get my attention and to show me the bunnies, I have gigabytes of bunnies, you probably should tag me to show me more pictures of bunnies! I'm very well aware there are pictures of bunnies, I see lots of bunnies, I see them repeatedly every time I open my bunny folder. I am very, very aware on the existence of bunnies. You're all my collectors, I could be sleeping peacefully and someone would shake me awake, "HEY I SAW A BUNNY!" Yes because bunnies exist, they bring me joy. Every single day with this. Don't forget to @ me with bunnies, I love this place I don't even know how to express it.

@lain @confusedelectron the ability to install apk from play without play or google account is handy in any case, but that does work as well of course

streaming is probably more convenient for normal people but has been consistently worse than piracy for me. 4:3 video cropped to 16:9, songs removed due to licensing, episodes removed due to controversy, etc
