Yeah, that is so crazy. You’ll see some random picture with some idiotic story pasted to it. No sources. Two sentences. And people believe what they are seeing and will totally be enranged about the picture.
34·1 month agoIt has been only a few days after Russia refused the Ukrainian offer of talks. So you know what is going on here
Nope, they are not. It’s a little bit complicated: They are getting funded directly by the government, but are not controlled by them directly.
We need an european alternative, not an european clone
TBH: Fuck those border guards. Fuck those security guys. Fuck airlines and fuck airports. They do know which flights are starting every day. They are collecting our data. We forced to enter names, addresses and nationalities into their websites in order to book a ticket. That is going into some international surveillance dystopia.
This is totally a planable demand. You know that the 747 to Paris will start at 14:33 with boarding closing at 13:50 and that 221 EU citizen and 112 Non-EU citizen are scheduled to be on there and that they will arrive in the hours before boarding. So why the fuck do they not have the staff available to do whatever they are checking in a reasonable time? Yes, there might be that one guy causing trouble, but that is also expected an can be dealt with. A six-hour wait? That is failing at their job and whoever is introducing a six hour wait time at an airport should be banned from ever running an airport again.

Yes and no. The thing about promoting a vegetarian diet is that you skip an additional step in producing the food. If you grow the plants, you may need fertilizer and that is affected by energy prices. But if you feed that plant to a cow, the cow is really inefficient in converting that plant into meat, like every animal. And raising cows also needs additional fossil input, f.e. for heating stables.
That’s the neat thing about this: If you license out your name, your name is on the device. Those licensees profit from your name, from your brand. If you license out your name to some shit company, you totally deserve that everybody does think that you are some shit company
It’s a total farce. That park is approx. 200m wide and 1km long. Which is really, really not that big. The discussion around that thing has been going on for years and us Non-Berliner were bombarded with hundreds (yes!) of articles about this fucking park. Even the Guardian is now writing one. Not sure why the police is unable to secure this park - even a few officials patrolling the area should be enough to stop crimes happening from there, because the area is really, really small.
8·1 month agoYeah, I’ve also been 8 years old and have dreamed while looking at maps. We also should build a bridge across the Atlantic and wall of the strait of Gibraltar.
TBH, that’s the best way to deal with the Trump administration. Try to get away as far as possible. Try to get out of those dependences. But do not talk loud about it, because if so, the demented orange will totally attack you.
I sometimes have something to do with people from SAP in my job and they really are a special bunch. I mean… half of them trust the management? Are they crazy? You never trust the management
That’s a perfect example:
- There is the general alcohol tax
- There is this sparkling drinks tax introduced to finance the Kaisers navy. Which really is stupid to have and maybe should be abolished
- There is the “Alcopop” tax which totally managed to kill this category of drinks as intended
So yeah, a little bit mixed. And i kind of disagree that this is too complicated. If you’re a supermarket or some kiosk, your supplier will provide you with the necessary information about the product. The Schaumweinsteuer, Biersteuer and Alcopop-Steuer are taxed directly at the producer level. Yes, you may need to deal with the beer tax when operation a brewery, but that really is not that complicated.
What kind of framing is this? The number of taxes really doesn’t matter and it also makes sense for a country to have a lot of taxes in its books. Taxes can totally steer people into a desired direction and it makes sense for a country to have a lot of taxes. Not to finacne the government, but to make undesired stuff like cigarettes or alcohol. Maybe you could finance your country with VAT only, but that would also mean that cigarettes would be dirt cheap and that your citizens will die of cancer
It’s also a vital motorway for Austria
That’s the problem with Berlin for the rest of Germany: All foreign correspondents are there. Many of the big media houses have their offices there. And it’s in the middle of fucking nowhere somewhere in the sands of Brandenburg. People from Berlin also really, really like to talk about Berlin.
Most Germans do live somewhere else and Berlin really is overrepresented in the media.
It really does look like Ukraine has gotten an edge here - it was crazy seeing all those burning refineries this month. That has to hurt the Russians. And those videos of the drone strikes on the logistic lines are also crazy. There is no way that Russia can keep this up for long - those long range strikes are systematically destroying key industry and those strikes in the back of the front lines will also have quite the effect. I can imagine a situation where the front lines will run out of ammunition and collapse - without fuel, trucks can’t drive. And when those trucks are destroyed by drones, you can’t deliver what’s needed to the front.
You really should read the article before posting comments.
Here in my country football matches, but also many concerts and so on come with a free public transit ticket.
