He wouldn’t even ban them. The current discussion is just about initiating the process with the Bundesverfassungsgericht (“supreme court”), which would then decide whether to ban them. But what do I know? 😑

Good advice, that I would definitely recommend in a place like Germany. But still: First rule of Usenet is to not talk about the Usenet. :D

I really got allergic to sensationalist headlines like this. “X goes nuclear and destroys Y”. I’m refusing to click on stuff like that…

Or use some proper firewall and allow access only to whoever actually needs it.

Reciting every day in school how great your country is, is peak brainwashing to me. When I learned about that, it was so weird to me.

Only a good guy with a car can stop a bad guy with a car though. Also if everyone in a crowd had a car, stuff like this wouldn’t be possible.

/s for the people in the back

Das ist meine Einstellung. Ich sehe meine persönliche Pflicht zur Änderung als recht gering an und schränke meinen Lebensstil daher auch nicht zu krass ein (wo es nicht zu schwer fällt). Sehe aber meine Verantwortung sehr darin nur Parteien zu wählen die ein sehr starkes Klimaprogramm bieten. Politik kann wirklich was ändern, ich selbst eher nicht.

Europa Universalis V confirmed?

Over all the complaining going on about the old traffic coalition, I forgot how bad CDU-led governments are :(

Ich weiß es nicht, aber ich vermute die CDU hatte keinen Bock drauf oder so?

Yeah, highly recommend not doing that. Over 30 years after the reunion there are still massive problems because of the divide and I feel like a lot more time will pass until this is somewhat balanced.

Any bets that it will take less than 90 days before we get the next tariff circus?

To avoid a kindergarten infinity+1 problem, one side should just explicitly ban all trade at some point and not just do it implicitly by bringing tariffs to the moon. 🤷‍♂️

I hate this timeline

But, you know, Trump is always right! What does backtrack even mean? /s obviously 😵

For real. To me it seems everyone is sleeping on that, but some deep EU reform seems one of the most important things to me (maybe even the most important thing?). We will never be able to get stuff done if hungary can just block everything even remotely good

I’m optimistic that it will happen eventually. The EU generally is moving with stuff like this, even though it is slow as fuck. But well, let’s see, not promising anything…

Ich kann nicht mehr. Die haben ernsthaft diesen Idioten zum Präsidenten gemacht und jetzt würfelt der Zölle, als ob es irgendein Brettspiel wäre (unter anderem auf unbewohnte Inseln!!). Verrückt 🤷‍♂️

Agree. That is such an america centric view. Why would italians give enough fucks about DOGE to burn a Tesla store about it. Being a Nazi is what is our primary issue with Musk here in Europe.

I’m not your mate, dude!
