What’s more well known around the world, Wacken or Rammstein? Because Wacken is smaller than Ramstein and would be the better answer but my guess is that Rammstein are more known.

Ramstein, population ~5600

Famous for the Ramstein Air base, the bombing of the air base, the Ramstein air show disaster and the band named after all of that.

ZSK - Antifascista we always need more, proud, dangerous, commited antifascists.

For me, this song is an example of a bold, counter rightwing-populism narrative. We need more strong and proud narratives on the left, to tell people they can feel important, powerful, accepted and part of something important - on the morally correct side of history.

That has actually been tested!

Big cats notice the laserpointer but they don’t really chase it. Most likely because they don’t hunt insects and small rodents.

Aber zumindest mal keine Minister-Pension:

Wer mindestens vier Jahre lang Bundesminister war, erhält eine Pension von 4.990 Euro pro Monat.

Dafür dürfte er einen Pensionsanspruch als MdB haben:

Pro Jahr der Mitgliedschaft im Bundestag erwirbt ein Abgeordneter einen Pensionsanspruch (Altersentschädigung) von 2,5 Prozent der Abgeordnetenentschädigung

33 Monate von Oktober 09 bis Juli 12 und 84 Monate seit Oktober 2017, sind 9,75 Jahre, bald 10 Jahre, gäbe ihm 25% der Abgeordnetenentschädigung, also ca. 2800 Euro pro Monat.

If you count the election as the biggest possible poll, that let’s you infer which way the non-voters would have gone.

And if you are a non-voter, that means you have declared the eventual outcome as your preferred outcome, since you did not vote otherwise.

Ich denke es wird zu einem Großteil darum gehen Habeck in den ganzen Talkshows zu platzieren. Der kann wirklich gut erklären wie und warum schwierige Entscheidungen getroffen wurden und je mehr ich dem Mann zuhöre, desto kompetenter finde ich ihn. Das wird (hoffentlich) das Wahlergebnis stärken und grüne Politik leichter verdaulich machen.

couldn’t be bothered to give a shit

Which means they chose this too. The only people without any culpability are the ones who voted for Harris or who for many reasons were not able to vote.

Doesn’t mean that the people who did not vote are as much at fault as the ones voting for Trump, but they share part of the blame.

Americans HAVE their country, this is what they want, this is what they voted for. Stop treating Americans as if this is something pressed upon them. They chose this. Now they will live with the consequences.

Still the same, electoral college are the ones voting for the president, not the people, the latter only elect the electors, not the president. GOP will likely produce a new candidate and electors will decide between them and Harris and most likely elect the republican nominee. Theoretically the electoral college could still vote for Harris, some states can have Faithless Electors.

Doesn’t mean anything if he dies of natural causes, the party that believes in jewish space lasers will cry wolf anyway.

President Vance 🤮 with a pretext to hunt down political enemies

Erstmal Kanzler Merz… schauder

Wir sind genauso am Arsch wie die Amis.

Kurzer Hinweis darauf dass diese “Super Blitzer” Gurt und Handy am Ohr erkennen indem die Bilder per KI ausgewertet werden. Es gibt Berichte davon, dass Leute da wegen Handy am Ohr belangt wurden obwohl sie kein Telefon in der Hand hatten sondern sich nur am Gesicht kratzten. Unter Umständen kann die KI Verstöße komplett herbei halluzinieren.

Das soll eigentlich abgefangen werden indem ein Mensch nochmal sämtliche erwischten prüft, aber die Erfahrung zeigt dass diese Kontrolleure sich nach einiger Zeit so gut wie immer blind auf die Arbeit der Maschine verlassen und da wo sie das nicht tun, tun sie das um genau den Bias (unter Anderem Rassismus) den die Maschine eben beseitigen sollte wieder ein zu führen. Man bekommt also das schlechteste beider Welten, yuchei!

Geschwindigkeitsblitzer und Abstandsblitzer finde ich ja sogar gut, aber bitte nicht diesen KI-Müll.

No Llama song, very disappoint.

That’s just farming, only on a reeeeeeaaaaly small scale.

Which drives the partisanisation of the media. Bozo is right about one thing: the trust in media is at an all time low in the US and trust is build through accurate and unbiased reporting. Endorsing politicians is biased as hell.

The newspapers repudiation of a fascist in dangerous times would hit that much harder had they not endorsed other politicians in less dangerous times.

So now it’s damned if they do, damned if they don’t… swallow that pill they must at some point. But it would have been an easier pill to swallow after the rule of fascism in the US had been averted.

Co-ops are a good thing, unionized co-ops (if the workers aren’t the owners anyway) is even better.

Consumer-owned does still have a big potential of conflict between owners and workers, a union can absolutely help with that.

An even better model is a multi-stakeholder co-op where consumers and workers both own shares.
