Still using an S7E to this day as the battery seems basically indestructable…

The one single weak spot? I actually had to replace the glue.

Basically the US and heavily english-speaking countries easier infected with the same brain-rot the US’ corporate ruling class calls “culture”.

(IOs/Android vs. english-speakers vs. income)

The US in brainlessly-adoring-corporations centric.

Which is exactly the reason while Android is shrinking in the US while Google is growing.

An Aggro-Leute (im Auto oder zu Fuss) wirst du dich gewöhnen müssen.

Vielleicht ist das regional verschieden aber das Schlimmste, was ich dieses Jahr erlebt habe, war ein Fußgänger, den ich auf einem breiten “Fahrräder frei” Weg langsam und mit Abstand überholt hab und der sich beschwerte, wieso ich nicht klingele statt ihn so zu erschrecken… Also bisher scheitere ich glücklicherweise daran, diese oft beschriebenen Aggro-Fußgänger zu finden und hab eher das Gefühl, dass wirklich jeder, der egal wie ohne Auto unterwegs ist, das Problem versteht.

“We Nazis…” shows a rare honesty at least…

“Als Reaktion auf Krisen wie Krieg und Klimawandel ziehen sich die Deutschen einer Studie zufolge mehr und mehr ins Private zurück.”

Nein, als Reaktion auf das vollständige Versagen der Medien ziehen sich Leute zurück. Weil jegliche öffentliche Diskussion sinnlos ist, wenn alles nur von Narrativen, Propaganda und Lobbyismus bestimmt ist.

Aber gut… wer erwartet schon eine plötzliche Kehrtwende und dass die Mitverursacher plötzlich ihr Versagem erkennen und über die wirklichen Ursachen berichten?

That’s basically the one universal solution… And after chrooting, you are “inside” your system cough

No

Because “including Spain, France and Greece” is a rather lacking description for 30 European countries:

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland

“five central European countries want the EU ban extended at least until the end of the year.”

(Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia)

And with that we finally reached the point where everyone is Central Europe if they only believe very hard in it…

Ignore it.

“We all know the reasons but I’m not allowed to say it” is a well known dogwhistle meaning “It’s the immigrants and the evil elites not only ignoring these very real problems but actively trying to replace us all with easier to manipulate stupid foreigners”. And of course they are right with the second part… saying that bullshit out loud will indeed earn them insults and being called right-wing nutjobs.

What’s going on in Europe is being flooded by propaganda and bulshit narratives 24/7, mostly via social media run by US companies.

That would have been the second step after truthfully reporting that the “illegal immigrantion” topic is just the usual right wing dog whistle for pretending legal immigrants are an issue as well as refugees, that are of course badly checked and just illegal immigrants, too.

“They don’t have the money to help poor Americans because they give all the money to Ukraine!”

From the director of “We need more tax cuts for the rich, so the trickle down effect can save America” comes the incredible sequel to the famous “USA can’t have proper social security because they have to spend a fortune on military to European freeloaders.”

Soon on some shady right wing propaganda stream in your area…

What now? A terrorist attack inside Russia or an attack on the Crimean Bridge?

Inflation rates are sinking. That’s it. No need to also debunk your bullshit about why inflation is rising when it isn’t. Or do I need to google the US inflation rates for you?

“Fielding 100 divisions at its Cold War height, a small fraction of Warsaw Pact manpower, the organization could not be counted on to repel a Soviet invasion and even the continent’s nuclear weapons were under Washington’s control.”

Sure… writing an article in 2023 about raw man-power being the decisive metric of armies and believing that the US were the only ones with nukes in NATO. To then tell the typical US fairy tale of helpless Europe getting basically nothing for their already meager military budgets and painting NATO as an US tool to stengthen their rule of the Western world.

Tell me that you have no clue about anything beyond the US borders…

Das wundert dich, weil du schon fehlerhafterweise mit “wenn ich nicht in die Metzgerei komme” anfängst. Die Mehrheit der Leute denkt halt nicht drüber nach, und kauft einfach das, was sie sich leisten können. Fleisch frisch aus 'ner Metzgerei wirst du da lange vergeblich suchen.

Vergiss den überteuerten Biokram und biete Alternativen zu sinnvollen Preisen an. Also nicht 3mal so teuer weil “bio” oder “vegan” drauftsteht, während Billigfleisch dank Subventionen nicht mal annähernd kostet, was da an Ressourcen reingeflossen ist, und schon ändert die Masse auch ihre Gewohnheiten. Die haben nämlich oft nicht den Luxus sich außer in besonderen Fällen für etwas anderes zu entscheiden als “billig”.

But… but… that insane movement away from destroying the planet we live on will destroy the fossil fuel industry and then soon we will all have to live in caves…

…said a fossil fuel lobbyist or their paid stooges in politics while ignoring all new technologies. Because only when they convince you that you need to fight for your right to keep burning fossil fuels and everything else will lead to a catastrophe can they continue to maximise the revenues from their technological dead end as long as possible.

PS: Also Axel Springer SE is now (since 2019) majority-owned by KKR, one of the big players in financials still heavily investing into fossil fuels… but that is surely just another coincidence.

inflation is rising due to the FED raising interest rates.

That’s probably the most none-sensical statement I read for quite some time.
