justice in germany
a banker who was involved in one of the biggest financial scandals of recent years, stealing millions of tax money, has the case closed because he is so ill that he can't handle the process. certainly not because the current german chancellor olaf scholz was involved in this scandal as well.
> A German regional court ruled on Monday that a prominent banker who was accused of playing a role in an alleged 10 billion euro ($10.7 billion) tax fraud scheme was no longer fit to stand trial for health reasons.
>
> Earlier this month, both prosecutors and defence lawyers requested the termination of the criminal trial of the banker, Christian Olearius, who is now 82 years old.
but an old woman of 94 saying the wrong things about the holocaust gets a judge who more or less jokes about that she says she doesn't feel well:
> A doctor accompanied Haverbeck, who was in a wheelchair and repeatedly complained about the "infirmities of old age." "I think you're really fit," the judge told her.

another fun fact is that you don't find this quote of the judge in the german version of the article where it just says the judge replied with that she will do a speedy trial. instead the german article (both are by DPA!) harps on the fact that the lawyer of haverback wanted to redo parts of the trial:
> Wieder begleitete eine Medizinerin vom gerichtsärztlichen Notdienst die Angeklagte im Rollstuhl. Die 95-Jährige hatte bei Prozessauftakt am 7. Juni beklagt, es sei zu beschwerlich für sie, in so kurzen Abständen den langen Weg nach Hamburg auf sich zu nehmen. Die Vorsitzende Richterin stellte am Mittwoch in Aussicht, man könne schon an diesem Tag fertig werden. Doch das zerschlug sich schnell. Der Verteidiger stellte mehrere neue Anträge, über die die Kammer entscheiden musste. Er wollte unter anderem erreichen, dass die gesamte bisherige Beweisaufnahme wiederholt wird, weil Haverbeck ihr wegen Hörproblemen nicht richtig habe folgen können. Alle Anträge wurden abgelehnt.

something is rotten in the state of denmark
@halfpint until I am convinced otherwise, I am claiming my award for living rent-free in this man's head and causing him to stew for an entire day before he "enacts his revenge" by blocking NAS, at the expense of everyone with an account there.
horrible pun

@dcc And how does it feel, harasser child, to be baaaned by the great author and United Nations consultant for the crimes of @Jonny, perhaps the most consistently in-character comic of our age?
You FAILED to ban him from your server and created exhausting janny work for the great Saul M. Montes-Bradley II! He has better things to do with his time, like complain about how people aren't voting in America's sham elections, you maligned harasser!
For shame!
@one I don't mean to be feminine and blab about my feelings to anyone who will listen (the Internet), but I've been drinking.
I assign 100% of my success to my parents, on both sides of marriage, and to all others who have given me opportunity.
This includes my wonderful parents, my loving wife, @adam, my old boss(es) Vinny, Rob, Alex, friends, and (admittedly, to a lesser extent) all of you.
I am extremely appreciative for my children and everyone who has contributed to my life.
Westerner's obsession with Hitler and the Nazis and the Holocaust and all this being the total representation of ultimate evil or "bad" or "thing I don't like" is legitimately bizarre and weird from the perspective of anyone outside their little self-centered bubble.
It would be equivalent to some warlord in 1890s Manchuria called "Tong Li" starting a movement called "Thousand Suns Kingdom" where they did unspeakable acts of barbarism and people contemporaneously constantly bringing them up as an example of pure evil and anything disliked. E.g., "wow, Trump is really like Li!" or "this artist is basically a Thousand Sunner!" People in the West would be like "lol what the fuck?" and it would come across as really weird.

don't only rely on my words, read what happy customers wrote about me: "10/10 would buy again", "top seller, great value", "wildly incorrect", "teil des problems", "without imagination", "Repeated provocation using copy/paste.", "if you take a dump in my mentions, I just might notice the smell", "log out and never login again", "Du redest wirr.", "My brother in Christ, this is such a ridiculously dumb statement that I will no longer entertain this silly conversation.", "Auf Derailing-Diskussionen habe ich keine Lust. Finger über dem Blocken-Knopf.", "Wie gesagt, du kannst der Diskussion inhaltlich nicht folgen."
