You, my friend, have to read up on super PACs

Oh, we could probably create giant trees with selective breeding and gene editing. But those trees would still need hundreds of years to grow (and that’s a good thing, since it would store CO2 while growing) and if there are problems with the gene editing we would only notice after decades.

Everybody wants to rule the world in my ass

I miss LAN parties… Duke Nukem 3D, Doom, CS, Diablo, Alien vs Predator 2, Quake and the successors of those games. Good times. Online is nice and all, but nothing compares to playing the night away with friends in one room

Even if done “right” privatization is the wrong choice for a lot of things. Like everything that should be a service for all citizens: postal service, health care, water, electricity, …

When greed is introduced into these services people will suffer for it. Just look at all the examples of privatizations and show me where the outcome was positive for the people.

Never experienced something like that, especially with metal fans who - in my opinion - are some of the most welcoming bunch.

Open source? Not the best currently available models.

As if that wasn’t what they were aiming for the whole time.

Fucking worm? Is this the Dune cup all over again?

You can abort till the 22 week in Germany.

Yes, they aren’t there… Yet.

Ah, yes - the typical “I don’t like it/it’s too much of a hassle for me therefore it is useless for everybody.”

Same thinking pattern that prevents the USA from adopting the metric system: I like the old system (because I grew up with it and don’t want to learn something new) therefore the new system is bad.

These people should really try to be a bit less egocentric. Is it so hard to recognize that the world doesn’t revolve around you?

It’s simple: Germany always does what Israel wants.

You know, because of our history.

There are many people (especially the older generation) who think we as Germans can’t say anything bad about Israel no matter what they do.
