Fick dich Friedrich

So, the $3 trillion dollar company can't afford compliance lawyers to help them ship these features in time? The 30% of iPhone owning Europeans are surely not being influenced to sway their governments to stop regulating US tech?

She was the one who was deemed a security threat, but the child was not allowed to re-enter Germany even when they appealed (thr appeal got delayed since a judge ruled it wasn't urgent). Make it make sense

I thought the whole point of lawyers was that everybody gets one? Is there any shame in defending El Chapo?

But will waging war actually liberate Iran? Doesn't that strengthen extremist powers?

I'm not asking rhetorical questions, but making it worse to make it better sounds like accelerationism and I've always been told that doesn't work

I believe this is about the government, not the people.

Look it really doesn't matter what some crazy people thought in 1580 or 1844. Trying to condemn the entire modern-day nation of Israel and its inhabitants is on par with calling all of Gaza terrorists.

I'm not saying Israel doesn't have deeply rooted colonialism nor that we shouldn't study its history, but making blanket judgements about entire peoples based on random historical nitpicks, is the weapon of the enemy.

Disclaimer: Not an expert on this.

It was previously not really possible to send money digitally directly, except in the form of cyptocurrency. It always goes through banks or intermediaries. If you transfer money between bank accounts, the banks have to talk to each other to do so, and the "real" transfer happens between their central bank accounts at a later point in time. There is indeed only spreadsheets with numbers going up and down. Effectively the banks are in control of all of it. In most cases we don't want a slow bank transfer but some sort of user-friendly payment portal like PayPal or wero, which the banks also need to have contracts with (or, operate themselves).

My vague understanding here is that this process is completely detached from banks, and that you are thus transferring actual money. It's not just numbers in a spreadsheet going up and down.

If anybody understands it better please correct anything I got wrong.

I mean don't get me wrong you won't catch me voting for either, I'm not a socdem. I just think it's ridiculous that these guys get to drag the name of social democracy through the mud.

Best in the last 20 years for sure, I don't know about good.

What do you hope to gain from arguing with a bunch of people you already know will never agree with you?

correction: It does not make him sound smart

what are you even doing here, read the room and go back to X

Social Democrats

Germany has a social democratic party, called the Greens, but they did not sign the coalition agreement. The author means the Social Democratic Party of Germany, which is a conservative-liberal joke. Kinda like Labour in the UK.

(Yes I'm being facetious but am I wrong?)

The German cases don't really have logical explanations as is described here. You can't figure out a case analytically, you just have to know the right one for the verb and meaning you are using.

Maybe Gazans need to stop building hospitals? /s

Yeah our politicians and media will still bend over backwards to avoid offending the 36% nationalists. But at least the left wing party Die Linke recently admitted they regret being neutral on some issues, so there's hope!

So, people dedicate their lives to improving the world and that just pisses you off?

The US actually has an ally (1) in the Middle East, unlike Europe at this point.

I don't understand why Russias illegitimate referendum gives the EU the authority to decide tho?
