For clarification, this just concerns Schleswig-Holstein, not the entirety of Germany.

Race to the bottom vs. race to the top. Both are happening. Some are probably competing for most delicious lemonade, but only these two capitalists can afford it and the rest of us drink their piss. The idea of competition in order to race to the top is not a bad idea, and can be usefull in some contexts. It’s just that the race to the bottom is usually omitted, or presented as a positive rather than a negative. The idea being something like:

capitalism leads to good things, capitalism leads to people drinking piss, ergo people drinking piss is a good thing.

You don’t need a permit to march in the streets or on sidewalks, as long as marchers don’t obstruct car or pedestrian traffic. And that makes a lot of sense because if you block a road perhaps emergency services need to know ahead of time that they can’t take that route. Or others concerns may be relevant. For the very same reasons this is similar in countries around the world. Source: https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/protesters-rights

Our Anarchy who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever and ever.

1 out of 2 poles has never seen a penguin.

Looks like an eierbal.

I just finished reading Amusing Ourselves to Death. In it Neil Postman explains the apathy you mention in a way that I found very convincing. Although the book is from 1985 it’s as relevant as ever, perhaps even more so given our current media climate. It’s worth a read, though I would advise reading Brave New World in advance.

How will Musk manage all the conflicts of interest, between all of his companies and assets and his role in government. His business interests are so large and diverse that it literally can’t be done, can it? Already got the sense that the US is going down the path of oligarchic kleptocracy. But how shameless and out in the open will it be?

Half of young Norwegians are wrong

Temu is quite literally poisonous.

It took me a while to realize this is actually true. Reality is amazing.

You mean Mastodon?

I thought they didn’t target children with their ads. Did I imagine that or is a barbie a product aimed at adults in Germany?

Any one got other FOSS game tips?
