At least Jesus is safe from burglary then.

Well in that case....

If you want to get all philosophical (which is probably a bit too far, it's George Lucas after all), you could make the argument that the downfall of the Republic is an example of a complacent, non-responsive governmental elite failing to react or even just recognize obvious problems.

The Jedi are just warrior monks and symptomatic for that. They didn't bring her with them, because they don't care about people that much. They are above the population and act more like demigods.

I never understood why people do that.

Here in Germany this was always reported as "look at those crazy idiots".

And who cares about that?

I mean in reality. Will that be enforced? Isn't there some loophole, where this technically isn't the same article because they took it off the shop for an hour?

Bei Bräuchen setzt der Verstand oft genug aus.

Stell dir vor, das Oktoberfest würde erst heute erfunden werden. Jeder CSU Politiker würde Schreikrämpfe bekommen, weil das ja ganz schlimm ist und bestimmt auch drei Flüchtlinge dahin gehen. Aber es ist ja Tradition, deswegen ist das toll.

Und wie bei allen "Traditionen" sollte man mal nachgucken, wie traditionell die denn wirklich sind. Erstaunlich viele davon sind nämlich aus dem 19 jhd.

Ich glaub ehrlich gesagt langsam, dass Politiker in Spitzenpositionen ernsthaft keine Ahnung haben, wie "Das Volk™" denkt.

Es kommt mir immer mehr so vor, als ob die ihre Themen nur von Twitter, Facebook und der Bild-Titelseite holen.

Na, da unterstellst du ihm aber was!

Merz' Ablehnung von Selbstbestimmung ist vollkommen blind was Geschlecht und Hautfarbe angeht!

Yes.

The EU has pretty much no staging ground or quarantine zone. You're either in or out. Even candidates only get a bit of money and a tad more scrutiny.

Especially since the EU is consensus based in many aspects, it's absurd to put all states into the same category. Hungary was an independent country for not even 15 years when it joined the EU. Obviously, the idea of a liberal democracy wasn't exactly widespread.

Edit: BTW, I'm from East Germany and honestly, a lot of people here don't exactly cheer for democracy. If it had remained a separate country, it would now be just as dysfunctional and brain drained as Hungary and Bulgaria.

Palliativmedizin ist so ein seltsames Konzept.

Jeder weiß, dass die Patienten in sehr absehbarer Zukunft sterben werden und anstatt irgendwas dagegen zu machen, werden sie bewusstlos gespritzt, damit es etwas erträglicher wird. Aber wenn man das unabwendbare beschleunigt, ist man Mörder.

See, if you would have read my comment and actually bothered to understand it, you would have seen, that I haven't said no one is at fault here.

So I have to assume, you're arguing in bad faith, you're putting words in my mouth to defeat a straw man, while not addressing any of my actual points.

So maybe pull that infantile sarcasm out of your ass and try actually thinking about what you're saying.

My thoughts exactly.

I think this video gets flak, because (in your scenario) not you and your coworker made a video about having fun, but your boss made you come to the otherwise empty office to act like you're having fun and use that as advertisement.

Will you categorically stomp your foot and ignore every single argument in that comment as well? Because you're almost there!

Blaming consumers for things that happen at least three indirections removed from them is childish. A consumer cannot know where all the resources are coming from.

Blaming EVs for this, is just as childish, if not actively evil, since the alternative would be oil extraction and that's not exactly clean and happy either.

Yes, but that means unconsciousness (and later death).

Well...

People are getting harassed a lot for not supporting their software as others think they should. Look at the xz guy, he basically quit because he couldn't take it anymore.

It's emotional extortion, not a physical gun.

It's the typical basement dwelling no true Scotsman nerd. You're only a real programmer if you spend 18h a day writing code or complaining on IRC why your neovim doesn't work.

This arrogance is BTW exactly the kind of thinking that brought us Musk. Tech is great, tech will save us all, I can tech, I am great, I will save us all.

The idea is that women are afraid not to have children at all and get emergency children before 30.

That this will turn women into breeding and child caring machines has the nice side effects that you not only get a bunch of women who don't have time for education, and thus more job security for me men, and it keeps them at home, so you don't need child care facilities.

So all in all a great step forward into the 1920!

Yeah, I feel like if a customer has an informed opinion about your costumer service, your service obviously forces customers to call customer service too often.

It's a last resort.

Nationality, race, sex all are things that can't be taken away from you. Even the lowest of the low lives still can look down on mexicans, blacks, women because at least he's not that!

Attacking these last resorts by making them not matter, is an attack on the flimsy sense of self worth these people have. You can't be proud to be a man if it doesn't matter that you're a man.
