Well, people don’t really have the choice to not vote for people they deem to old if they are the only person running for their party. If we had rules for maximum ages that would force parties to offer us younger candidates to vote for

I second hedgehogs for Germany, they’re so cute! Also, or squirrels are so different from the US kind, they’re just unfortunately a lot shyer, too

Voll bescheuert, dass es oft keine anderen gibt

That’s exactly what I mean, though. All these wars happen even though they aren’t profitable, so I don’t see how that’s relevant.

Not saying politics can’t change for the worse, just that I haven’t seen voting, etc. change it for the better in a long time. It used to and I think peaceful protests and activism could help, just saying it’s not very visible as helpful right now.

I don’t even see how you ended up getting into a tirade about vandalising from this post, especially if you agree that attacking billionaires directly has a chance of helping - isn’t that exactly what the cartoon shows?

I agree with you that riots and vandalising aren’t currently helping - but I also don’t see them as a prevailing problem. Where is this currently going on? Most of what I see are peaceful protests with limited coverage and even more limited consequences

I would really love an example for a war that didn’t happen because it wasn’t profitable, or a relevant leader toppled by social media. We live in a world where there aren’t any politicians we can vote for to actually lead to any change, and wars are closer to many of us than they have been in a long time, both physically and through the visibility of social media and globalisation. If there’s a peaceful way to stop this that you’re aware of, please do enlighten us

Definitely strange… Glad it worked out, though

Very cool feature, thanks for sharing!

The version is 5.1.8_fdroid, which is the same one I also see in fdroid

Very strange. I installed through the neo store a week or so ago and have a couple options

For me it’s when I add a new location, then I get to choose what sources to pull from

If it’s just about current weather, the locations view kind of does this. Otherwise, I’d be super interested to hear which app you’d seen that in before, sounds like an interesting feature

From what I see, MET Norway is an option for weather sources, is that the right one?

Wait, you’re the first person I see claim that the black panthers were anarcho-capitalist - usually the claim is anarchists. What makes you say that?

I understand it as less “being in this party” and more “sharing an anticapitalist worldview, how do you not let feelings overwhelm you”, which seems like a very valid question

I second Anark’s content. Haven’t seen those two videos yet, but do feel like the focus on building a community that does good and does better seems like the way out of leftist depression (or at least to less of it)

I second Duolingo and Drops for mostly vocabulary learning, and then I’d supplement with a textbook for grammar and a more structured learning experience. I keep seeing the everything learning german book recommended, but really, just choose whatever looks reasonable and go through it doing all the exercises

Going from your sidebar, how about art gallery?

Der Sinn hinter vielen dieser Sachen, vor allem dem Binnen-I, von dem Rest weiß ich’s nicht so genau, ist doch gerade Texte und Reden kürzer zu machen, aber trotzdem explizit alle mitzumeinen. Alles auszuschreiben ist noch deutlich lästiger, auch fürs lesen. Würde aber den Leuten oben im Thread zustimmen, dass man lieber Gendern2.0 sollte, wo auch für die männliche Form eine Genderendung drangehängt wird und die Grundform dann neutral ist. Dann haben wirs alle einfacher und trotzdem wird niemand diskriminiert

Bin ganz neidisch, bei mir wurde der kalte Krieg hat nicht behandelt. Musste ich mir alles selbst anlesen, weil’s irgendwie relevant klang

That’s a very good point of course - brain drain is a problem and we shouldn’t encourage it. I suppose I’d rather propose encouraging countries to offer refugees good educations. I am explicitly talking about jobs that require training and come with an expectation of a good life - I agree that the jobs in agriculture and slaughterhouses and such are inhumane.

I don’t think we should tell people not to have children. I just think that we should stop telling them that putting more humans on this world is the moral option or their duty. I think we should at least encourage people thinking of having kids to consider the consequences that has, and then leave the choice to them.
