Wow, thx. The archive is gold. The artists journey from pretty terrible to really great comics in 12 years is quite astonishing.

Not supporting an ongoing genocide means I support Russia?

I oppose Russia ever since the russian atrocities in Chechnia. But you didn't give a shit back then, because it was brown people dying, didn't you? Or you didn't care about the Syrians that were mass murdered by Russia. But now I am the pro russian because I am against genociding brown people by Israel and the USA.

Honestly, fuck you, you racist cunt. Sleep well knowing that with your political standpoint you are coresponsible for every innocent soul murdered in Gaza and the Westbank.

No way to know if it "worked out" before all votes are counted (at the end it doesn't matter how large or small the margin is, just on whose side it is). But yeah, you didn't need to be a genius to know that she was the objectively better candidate.

Honestly, shouldn't you be greatful that the media did this? Otherwise Biden would still be in, pretty much sealing in Trump to become the next president.

Just sad, that you couldn't get a candidate who doesn't support genocide (except the Greens).

I'd say here in Germany it is mostly a unpopularity contest.

Man, I am interested in politics, but I don't care about pop culture. Now I have to google Taylor Swift (I know the name and I am sure, I'll also know some songs of her, I just don't know the cnnections inbetween).

Here in Germany we optimized the process and just use these nowadays: https://www.stilum.com/wp-content/uploads/flecto-Karussell-auf-einem-Spielplatz-1030x687.jpg

It's floor 0. Like you aren't 1 year old, when you arr born.

The brits got it right.

Project 2025 is so dystopian. I am somewhat triggered by it. Realistically I think anyone should oppose it with any fiber of their body, on the other hand, living in a cyberpunk hell is so romantic&cool in movies, games and books (it won't be in real live). Hard to understand how any sane person would support shit like that.

His senility is the smallest problem when it comes to Trump.

Here we parents have to pay. But parents that cannot afford it can contact the authorities and get government funds for that without their children (and their friends) to ever learn about that.

Meanwhile there are 3 fractions for each 2 left wing people.

Is there a statistic how many bystanders were hurt by armed citizen bystander?

In what time frame did those shooting happen?

Where is the burn? 53 is the age you are supposed to have a midlife crisis.

You send me looking and at least the JW believe in climate change and argue that it was foretold in the Bible.

I was adressing the "aggresively urging to take your holidays on time", which is a very German thing and it is so due to local laws. Never heard that about any other country. I am also not American, but turkish (living in Germany).

You in Germany? There is some kind of tax thing, so it costs money if people don't take there holidays in the year itself, so companies are mostly quite keen with you raking all holidays.

"I loose money when I pay for Netflix."

Hello from our companies "we finally need to get more AI" executive conference. I got find a way to get out of this corporate bullshit...

"We are falling behind" my ass.

I'll have a look at that fetcher thing. Thx.

I am on Mastodon for 5 years now (fuck it is really 5 years since August 2019, what the hell) and just can't get into it. It just feels lonely over there. What am I doing wrong?

Tbh, I think it is the post statistics thing. It says "1 reply", then I click at ot and it has 4 replies and it ALWAYS says "0 favorites" even when 10 people comment how great that post was.

It is probably true though. Speaking to them every day, means looking at them every day and thus seeing problems immediately. Okay, so not true, but still effective.

8$?????????????

No idea about the UK. But in Germany a comparable hospital stay (single bed room) would be up to a 1000€ per day afaik. If you are publicly insured in Germany, you'd still easily pay 150€ out of your own pocket (otherwise the rooms have 2-4 beds).

But I already learned in this thread that the costs in the US are far worse.

They are expensive in Europe as well, but most European countries socialize these costs.

Nah, that says LOL|C. (C for cunt.)

Seems plausible. Most of my friends got married or "like-married" between arround 28 and 32, then the divorces happened between arround 35 and 38. Those who survived that wave are still married.

To show everyone that one can afford it, I guess.

He is a former president and endorses himself, very much so actually. I don't think he cares much about any other former president, nor any other human being tbh.

Man, that one unlit cigarette annoys me way too much.

In some crowded places they do it, so it doesn't feel like a central station.

As a C64 player it took me years to find out that manuals even exist. :)

I hated them, they made me anxious. But much worse were the low stall walls. Why america, why? When I take a shit I want a wall that actually serves the purpose of not having people see me taking a shit.

On another note, the Dutch style toilets were very common in Germany up until the 90s. Rare nowadays. I think they are actually superior. You see it, if you have a problem with your shit and even the largest shit doesn't splash water all over your intimate parts. On the other hand, you have to protect your balls from the large shit, when it goes "timber".

Don't know about the police. I was comparing inside turkey, where there is the Police for urban areas and the Jandarma (Gendarmerie) for rural areas.

It is not really "higher" than police and it is not regular military. The gendarmerie in Turkey is responsible for policing outside cities, they are part of the military, but they are subordinate to the interior ministry during peace times (regular military answers to the defence ministry).

Fly with turkish airlines. Business is heaven, but even economy food is good.

It is kinda crazy. Been using Linux since 2005 or 2006 on my desktop/notebook. I cannot believe we are almost mainstream now.
