  • It's also no surprise we get this story when journalists at the exact same visit tell the exact opposite. Because only the narrative matters and we have long left reality behind...

    For reference: "I was also present at that workshop visit: They did not complain about lack of spare parts and personnel. On several requests for damage patterns, those responsible were even impressed by the robustness of the vehicles."

    Also: Isn't it funny how other countries first contacted the German industry for support in spares and repairs but exclusively the German ones are problematic and lack spares? Nothing to do of course with the always same German media wallowing in doom and gloom until they are finally getting rid of the government and get their corrupt buddies back.

  • Yeah, sure... I am "projecting" personal experience in the Bundeswehr two decades ago. It was already a shitshow back then with only those with no job prospects anywhere else considering to join (outside some special and very limeted numbers, using their time there to study... but that's not the bulk of soldiers). It went downhill from there ever since.

  • There's only one problem: Until it's a requirement on every level it shouldn't be one for single levels.

    This law is not a tool for transparency, but a weapon for state politicians against local politicians disagreeing with them.

    What we have here is a law in a majorily red state that does not apply for state officials (republicans) but does apply for local politicians (democrats in several big cities) that can punish minor infractions (please try to make a list of everything you own with the correct values that can withstand an audit by the state...) with jail time. Go figure...

  • even if I’m only getting a handful of true sleep hours

    Wait... you get more than a handful on a regular night? Now I envy you.

  • When regular leaded gas was banned in my country I was nearly 6, 14 when the last leaded high-octane gas was sold...

    I looked up the US for reference... to find 1996 as the year leaded gas was finally banned.

    So I still don't believe environment-induced brain damage is an excuse.

  • suffering from major brain damage because they were exposed to too much lead and other harmful chemicals as children due to corporate deregulation

    As someone old enough to having played with all these wooden toys coated in shiny lead-based colors followed by plastics with even more harmful chemicals... I'm pretty sure you have to start with a lot of damage already, then develop the habit of trying to eat your toys. Which is a gateway drug to drinking bleach.

  • Maybe you personally. But money would actually solve all their problems.

    All they provide today is a shitty job with bad pay and no future prospects.

    They are not finding enough soldiers because all these soft modern young adults are too selfish for that job, just like companies find no employees because those spoiled brats are too lazy to work. Obviously none of it has to do with not providing reasonable payments of course. So forced labor is the the proposed solution.

  • The winner of that statewide election gets all the electoral college votes for that state.

    Which is actually optional. States can split them (but iirc only 2 out of 50 do...). It just doesn't make that much sense in a two-party-system mostly split in the middle. That's the bigger problem.

  • Oh, are you telling one of your favorite propaganda lies again?

    In reality Germany -a small country with just 16% of the US' GDP- is providing 40% of the US' support just in military aid (also more than the next 5 countries combined), and about three times as much measured by share of GDP in total.

    Yet still after nearly two years the lie that Ukraine's by far biggest supporters are actually NoT DoInG aNyThInG bUt ThE bArE mInImUm is still Russia's top export.

  • Do they only kill flying whales or are the others at risk of accidently jumping into the blades, too?

  • There's probably a chameleon there, but well camouflaged...

  • Since most phone apps nowadays use the same set of emojis and just generally come with a skin tone selection for all of them that's not an issue anymore.

  • I’m frankly surprised there’s assets left to give Ukraine at this point?

    Many countries have really strict laws in place when it's about the government'S ability to seize money, because those who don't might see opposition funds and then democracy gone...

  • Flavorful characters can be quite OP in their specific area of expertise (no pun intended) and bad at other stuff.

    Why do we always need to pretend that it's one or the other?

  • Fire itselt doesn't necessarily leave marks on the stone floor unless it's long and hot enough to melt stone, that's just byproducts of stuff not burning properly.

    The testing familiar -just like yours- didn't leave any traces in all the trial runs, it just vanished to its realm of origin.

    Now, continue playing your class instead of cosplaying as a rules lawyer.

  • Nice try... but there are too many hobby historians involved in fantasy rpg's to not know that a D4 is THE original die. Much older than that stupid cube we -even with all our modern tech- can barely bring to be really balanced and rolling well.

  • Yeah, that famous "we don't talk about and don't teach history" in Germany with barely mentioning enough to use it as a cover for imaginary war crimes in all these wars Germany is involved in all over the world...

    Is there a common guide to your alternative reality or are you pulling this stuff out of your ass as you go?

  • Oh, so you don't understand the words colonisation or zionist either and were just conditioned to use them as a random insults. That really fits...

    It would be funny trying to understand what goes on in your propaganda-damaged brain, but I have better things to do with my time.

  • All I read here is: "I am stupid and could not be bothered to open a history book ever. So I am delusionally calling everything I don't like a pogrom, everyone I dislike a nazi and pretend that I'm a holocaust 2.0 victim. And then I detach myself completely from reality and tell the lie that countries supporting mine for decades and (unlike me) working for a free and independent state actually want to get rid of me. Because how else could I justify my righteous hatred of everyone else?"

    Just fuck off. Delusional rabid morons like you are the problem.

    PS: Nice touch with the "old dottering liberals" in control in Germany btw... Showing that it's not just history you are lacking in but you just use every term as an insult while obviously not understanding its meaning, really crowns this master piece of stupid narratives.
