CC @velartrill : this was in my home feed and is related to our exchange. i'm not sure how good your german is, but he says more or less what i think only more eloquent ;)

@vattuvarg haha :)

the native browser story really is a bit sad on sailfish. can't really blame jolla for it though, browsers have gotten such a moving target and everybody uses the latest "features"..

@Tutanota

i know it is often regarded as fringe science, but lovelocks gaia hypothesis is still one of the better ideas i've read how the world might work. maybe it just aligns with my own (spiritual) views, but that the earth is a complex system we haven't understood as whole seems to be evident.

some of lovelocks ideas are now reconsidered as putting biomass-coal into the soil to fixate CO2 and to improve the soil (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_pr). maybe we should've started earlier with those.

as with everyone he was hit and miss with his ideas, i think they would have deserved some more attention and less ridicule. his climate doomsday scenarios seem to be true after all.

@bonifartius oh also

> i don't know why sending back criminal migrants isn't viewed as a no-brainer here. i don't fucking care if it's a warzone if someone doesn't bother about the rules, which aren't even specific to our culture.

yes fuck holy shit, this whole thing is just crazy-making. germany and the rest of europe is being taken advantage of so hard rn. being a refugee, even a real legitimate refugee who has nowhere safe to go in their own country, doesn't give you some kind of right to be pampered and bailed out by the rest of the world and do whatever the fuck you want. if you go voluntarily to another country, no matter the fucking reason, you fucking BEHAVE, you respect that culture and its way of life, you obey its laws, and if you can't do that you DON'T FUCKING GO. (there's a reason i will never visit an islamic country, lol.) my presence is purely a financial benefit to germany bc i bring in money from outside the country and don't rely on any welfare services, i am married to a native-born citizen, and even still i feel extremely grateful to the german people for welcoming my ami ass the way everyone has, for letting me crash in your country after we burned our own down and asking basically nothing in turn. i cannot imagine turning around and making a nuisance of myself, being able to live with the guilt, and it's incomprehensible to me that people who are being given vastly more than me are so fucking ingrateful as steal and break shit and rape your women. it's like they just see kindness and tolerance as weakness, american-style cultural psychopathy. iirc most northern european cultures made a fairly big deal about proper treatment of guests, but also of respect for hosts. the former implies the latter.

> stealing, injuring people, raping people is frowned upon virtually everywhere

apart from certain american cities and neighborhoods, anyway…
also the structure of reddit makes me think of like factory farms but for humans

@augustus twitter woketard mob?

"we need reeducation camps for basic democratic values." would be a valid answer :)

@velartrill i probably exaggerated a bit with my description and am not known as an optimist. judging from your desciption of the US, it's paradise here, so maybe i'm just spoiled.

i can't be really proud of a country which is filthy rich but where the money is used for so much bullshit. in my lifetime, germany hasn't really achieved much save crawling up americas ass and cutting down the welfare for profits. maybe in the current times, not being a shithole is already an achievement :)

i view flying the flag as something squares do, i don't get why people have problems with it though. it's a bit like free speech, you don't have to look at it ;)

i don't know why sending back criminal migrants isn't viewed as a no-brainer here. i don't fucking care if it's a warzone if someone doesn't bother about the rules, which aren't even specific to our culture. stealing, injuring people, raping people is frowned upon virtually everywhere. keeping those people here just makes the life for the _good_ people who just want to be left alone , native and immigrant, harder . i like to think that every country has it's assholes, and we don't need to import those, we already have enough of our own :)

AfD is just 99% crazy people, but the other parties aren't much better. Just different crazy. Orban also seems to be crazy for most parts, i don't really know much about him though.

Regarding consumption i only can judge from my inside POV, but it has gotten worse in my lifetime. Everthing is easily replaceable instead of repeirable. We are the masters of seperating waste, but it seems like if it's also a reason to justify creating more waste: recycling fixes it, so nobody has to care. I remember a time where most drinks where in glass bottles, it's almost exotic to have them now. It's all just too damn convenient.

regarding families, i think it depends where you look in germany. in the countryside it's easier to live on one salary as a family, living is cheaper. I can't imagine how that should be possible in cities for people who don't have a job which pays really well. That's why kids get send to daycare at one year old. That women (and men) were brainwashed into thinking that they have to work fulltime to consume bullshit instead of spending time raising their children is the other part of the problem and it's only getting crazier the more i think about it. It really isn't about that women shouldn't work (after all, they rebuild germany after the war!), but that people shouldn't have to feel guilty if they'd rather raise their kids. there was an idea from the CDU (i think) some years ago about paying parents who care for their children at home instead of sending them to daycare. There was an outrage, because that supposedly would keep women from working and was regarded as anti-feminist.

to close, i don't think it's necessarily as bad here as i paint it (probably it isn't ;), but i'd rather be pissed and angry than ignorant :)

sometimes you gotta sit back and marvel at the fact that we've had nukes for almost 80 years and we're still going

If I ever publish a game, it will have a mission called "fuck straya" where everyone talks about how awesome heroin is, and how cool everyone that does drugs are, and also you can take drugs for a gameplay bonus with absolutely no ill effects.

this is again a rambling rant about everything 

@velartrill

we are still cucked because of the nazis. desperatly doing anything _not_ german out of fear of being called a nazi. hell, i don't like football, but there were discussions if it is ok that there are so many german flags during the world championships. i think patriotism on a national level is bullshit, but those discussions are just cringe.
question unguided mass migration and you are certainly a nazi. the "melting pot" of cultures the states are, are viewed as universally positive, disregarding the massive problems which they have, and the fucking timespan it had.
meanwhile, if you are interested in the culture which was created here for centuries, better prove that the interest is purely scientific and that you usually consoom only woke artists. generally anything that isn't focused on consumption is viewed with suspicion, even the majority of ecological people just want to consume the same amount, only "green". parents doing attachment parenting are breeding cells for fashism and bad for the society because the kids aren't put into daycare ASAP to have the parents back in the wokeforce while the kids get taught how to consume properly. they better should work to take up a credit and buy a new tesla!

god am i pissed.

@velartrill great, destroy the last remaining parts of wilderness which are left in the process. 10/10.

@jrballesteros05
i may have missed something here.

i said that i feel old because something aches a little bit all the time. that covid is around just makes me notice it more, because it can have the same symptoms.

i'm at home 99% of the time. i only go shopping for food. i don't take this lightly.

@iron_bug

@iron_bug enviable!

i think it could be far worse for me. it's only mildly bothering if i have those things, not really painful. that's the point though, i never know now if covid or just sore muscle ;)
