You have a great idea, you put 5 years into perfecting it and making it the best possible Thing™. You use all the money you have, sell everything you can to get enough funding to start production of your great Thing™.

After 2 month of you selling your Thing™ I see that it is a great product and using my vast fortune I immediately start mass producing it and promote My Thing® to everyone. Due to economy of scale I can produce My Thing© for a quarter of your cost and sell it for half of your price. Everybody buys my cheaper copy and you go bankrupt without having anything to your name, because you invested it all and didn't pay back your loans yet.

Does that sound fair to you? No? Then you better believe copyright is a boon ( if its not corrupted to hell and back).

Pillars of Eternity

Tyranny

Disco Elysium (just pirate this one, the original creators got swindled out of their company and will see no cent if you buy it, they themselves endorse the piracy)

It's a very different game from the other action focused ones from Supergiant. But I highly enjoyed the story in this one and some people purposefully lost games because they wanted to let the other team win. They were that engaged with the characters.

Which other super powers are going to attack us??

We will never spend enough to defend against USA, and China is not going invade us first.

And Russia just proved that it is a laughing stock that can't even conquer Ukraine with conventional weapons.

And surprise: against nuclear weapons everything is useless.

And France and UK still have them themselves.

I'm all for modernising our armies, especially the German one. But that doesn't need more money thrown into the fire, but a big change on organisational structure.

And half our tax income that goes away? That is money away from school, poor people, everyone! Except the owners of military industrial companies.

And why do you find it it okay to attack if somebody feels threatened? Feeling threatened is a completely subjective & emotional thing. Not something I would want leaders to wager peoples life on. But again: you do you, pal.

Didn't think you would support Israel's attack on Iran. But you do you, pal.

Because those that shout the racist politics are also doing all the policies for the rich. Are you rich? Otherwise they are not pushing policies that benefit you, except you don't see people of different color when you leave your house.

If that is more important to you than education, science, environment, health, culture and many others.... than you are likely simply a racist =D

Slight correction: it's not about cis or trans, but rather about homosexuals being brainwashed into being heterosexuals.

True, but as is visible in USA, you don't need to be able to do your job to be able to destroy your country.

Good thing is, you won't experience that, so that's somebody else's problem.

Let me see, I once saw a wonderful comic about that...

Ah, found it:

First that, but second: what kind of wealth do they have? According to the article they are real estate investors... I don't really see them moving their buildings or the land outside of the UK. So nothing of value is lost, the wealth is still inside the UK. Only thing that left are two parasites that extracted from society without contributing back.

To be totally honest: I like the current divided setup for the purely selfish reason of the men's toilet being less occupied than the women's toilet at most places with a lot of people.

But that would mean that in average it would be a net benefit to use non divided ones, since then the empty stalls would be used.

Nobody ever accused the CDU of being smart.

Again, I'm not denying verifiable reality, you are not reading correctly.

The article mentions the sentence in the following paragraphs

Indeed, from the campaign trail in the east Berlin district of Lichtenberg, von Storch told Drop Site that “‘From the river to the sea’ means kill all Jews—I don’t think we should have that free speech, I don’t think that’s a good idea.”

Dayan had provocatively uttered the phrase, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” on social media in response to an article in November 2023 saying that the slogan should be prosecuted.

-> not illegal, just some idiots calling for it to be illegal

Here, just for you, from me who lives in Germany, where it's not illegal to say it: "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free."

And I mean it, because what Israel is doing is simply a genocide. But that doesn't mean you can just change reality to what you think it is.

And honestly, if you read and understood the article, it shouldn't take much time to search for the terms you know and then copy that into a comment to prove me wrong.

... Because that is exactly what I did with this comment, proving you wrong that the sentence you wrote is in fact not illegal.

Edit: after checking Wikipedia, I have to partially retract my statement about the legality. The ministry of inner affairs ordered Hamas as terrorist organization and the saying as its slogan and forbid it. However, multiple courts have already overturned that decision and stated that the saying is not illegal in itself, only if its meant as direct support for Hamas.

So I was wrong, but the Wikipedia article explained it much better than the posted article.

What? I specifically checked the article before I posted the comment. Please quote the part you are talking about.

No, you either didn't read the article or didn't understand it. The article doesn't mention **a single** instance of what you claim.

The article is about political pressure, as I said, about accusing Israel critics of other crimes and thereby trying to shut them down. But criticizing Israel is not illegal. And that is the same as happened in USA, where protest where shut down and accused of other crimes to stop them.

Really? I can't remember that anybody got legally punished for criticizing Israel, but I might just not remember it. Can you provide sources for your claim?

And that is not on a criminal level but instead on a political.

It is legally perfectly allowed to critique Israel. So the OP still would be wrong.
