It should be the opposite: The design of the delta class submarines is older than Star Wars and it would make sense that George Lucas took some design inspiration from soviet russia. He did take a lot of inspiration from Nazi Germany and it would make sense that he also did take a look at the USSR as America's cold war enemy.
Current german recommendations for healthy eating are saying that around 300 grams of meat a week are the max and Americans really seem to eat that every day.
I'm not working in the meat industry, but in the german food industry. German meat consumption has gone significantly down, but the most "feelable" effect would be that vegan and/or vegetarian options are now a must for every restaurant owner who knows what he is doing. A few years ago it was normal for restaurants to have no vegan option on the menu or for them to be kind of crappy. Now there are so many vegetarians that you will run into problems with your restaurant if your vegetarian option is crappy - because those vegetarians will complain to their family and friends and lead them into other restaurants.
(and yeah, there are still restaurants left without good options for vegetarians. Your region also might play a role - but chances are that you can find a pizza without meat on the menu that is not a Margherita)
Yes, cereal is bad. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it's unhealthy. But what many people here are forgetting: There is a whole industry advertising cereal as a healthy breakfast (and now apparently dinner). You go into a supermarket and it is full of colourful boxes telling you what an awesome meal cereal is. Potatoes don't have that. There is no TV ad for potatoes. And yes, cereal tastes great, because of the sugar.
That really is interesting - all this talk about "Reddit is not profitable, we need to monetize in order to continue business, we need to layoff people" and now we're learning that it is just some greedy assholes stuffing their own pockets
Yeah, that will be a real problem. Germans really have a special culture on Reddit where they are writing a unique form of German. If you train an AI on /r/de , /r/ich_iel or /r/okbrudimongo , you'll produce something special.
In a better world roads would be closed for cars which exceed the capacity of those guard rails. Just put up a sign, do some enforcement and people will start buying smaller cars when they can't use them.
There will be some lawsuit in the future somewhere in Europe. And the judge will rightfully rule that you can't get an "informed consent" from your users for 800 tracking companies just by letting them click a button with dark patterns.
There are still local governments or police forces announcing important things via Twitter. There are still interesting and smart people posting there. There are all those "legacy" accounts which are not active anymore, but have valuable content. Nitter was the last way to read this and this is now lost.
the german government has a banking account where you can send them money, no questions asked. Feel free to send over your fair share of taxes you are avoiding by routing the Microsoft profits from Germany via Luxembourg and other tax havens.
Since this article is coming from Germany, the term used locally would be "schweigende Mehrheit". This is based on Elisabeth Noelle-Neumanns work on the spiral of silence:
In this case the head of the German Verfassungsschutz (one of the spy agencies tasked with fighting extremism) asked the silent majority to stand up against right wing extremism and Nazism and therefore this term is used here. Those american far right idiots don't have anything to do with it. Could be that they heard something about Noelle-Neumanns work and didn't understand it, but even that is unlikely
