This is quite an individualist mindset; I was mainly talking about YT Trends-type of music - music likely listened to by millions, shaping the minds of millions.

Have you seen music lyrics? They’re full of advertisements.

People pride themselves to be walking billboards. I think it somewhat resembles wearing the coat of arms of your lord in the millennia before.

Where’s Saddam?

Security by Obscurity Antiquity

That’s a powerful move after being incarcerated in Siberia.

Middle aged folks on a sightseeing trip in Hamburg, I guess they went up the Elbphilharmonie as well, given that both are in the HafenCity.

How do you find out the entropy of a string?

Frieren because arcane knowledge is required or Frieren because it takes years to master?

Ukraine doesn’t have the resources to start some weird revenge conquest, given that their allies fear MAD.

A deported rapist isn’t going to rape any of the natives and citizens anymore.

So if I understood you correctly, “natives and citizens” symbolises people in Germany in context.

Deporting unwanted behaviour doesn’t lessen its effect in both societies, which are likely connected in some way anyways (ie not North Korea). Rape is still bad for a society if it exists in other societies, because the non-prevention (not working on perpetrators/would-be perpetrators) and subsequent normalisation of rape harms everyone.

Deportation of unwanted behaviour is a bit like exporting toxic waste; don’t expect the poison not to come back in some way.

Deportation as reaction to crime or deviation is a failure of the justice system: a) Deportation to current Afghanistan for rape is not much of a penalty. b) Deprivation of liberty (jail) allegedly serves social rehabilitation; jail is thus supposed to display Täterarbeit, work with/on perpetrators to achieve accountability. Deportation of criminals deprives a society of justice.

Iodine salt, ok, easy, but flaxseed/chia seeds every day? Why? Are omnivores supposed do that too (as in many/most don’t do)?

oui

Pfefferrücken-Hof erinnert sich

I would be surprised if the EU members have no fuel left to share. Hungarian Fidesz knows this, so this is either a very bad PR campaign for their dictatorship (“the EU is about to get us”) or a deliberate attack on Ukraine and EU foreign policy.

“Very childish” of Ukraine civilians to die.

NOOO, y-you can’t use Taavi like that! The sacred wanking material scripts!

Kaliningrad is not called Königsberg anymore. There was a war over this.

On the long run, I think it should be annexed by the EU.

This is imperialism. IMO, the people of the Oblast Kaliningrad should be able to decide for themselves since the Russian Federation is de jure a federation. Once independent, Kaliningrad would be able to go through EU’s process of entry into the union.

I don’t see this happening anytime soon, because Russia is de facto neither a federation nor a democracy and I assume the people of Kaliningrad do not have the political will to be independent or part of the EU at the moment.

Furry anthropomorphise animals, they make models based on animals and bestiality among furries isn’t elevated compared to the general population. It says more about you and the general population that they equate furries with something about sex.

Beastiality sucks.

How Water Towers Work | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZwfcMSDBHs | by Practical Engineering

High buildings sometimes have their higher floors above the height level that the water pressure from the water supply of a town can reach.

Those buildings then use pumps in the cellar to either pump the water to a tank on the highest floor and let it fall down again to the floors or to pump the water to the floors directly.
