Germany was doing pretty bad economically after the first world war and especially after the great depression. Lots of people had no jobs and couldn’t afford anything.

Wages of the average worker aren’t keeping track with inflation right now, so that’s what would have to be changed to have any chance at stopping this.

Russia also needs to stop trying to destabilise the western world.

If I want to be able to access my trunk easily I will have to go forwards.

Otherwise I always go backwards.

Holy shit, 300mg caffeine sounds insane to me (a German). Over here Energy Drinks are not allowed to contain more than 32mg caffeine/100ml. So a big can (500ml) would have 160ml. Those are already a bit too much for me, I can only imagine how 300mg would feel.

Welp, I have only now seen this post on the 19.09.2024.

I guess I did not only miss the notification, but also the rapture itself.

This isnt about the official servers being online forever, this is about being able to host your own server without having to crack the game in weird ways.

Happens all the time, nothing to be ashamed about.

Would be a little uncomfortable if something solid comes out though.

We will never live in an ideal world, we can only approach it.

So, yeah, I wasnt referring to reality.

Change it out for a lack of positive perspective for the future and you might even be right.

Thats maybe why the empty promises work to begin with.

This kind of right wing populism has sadly arrived here in Europe as well. Here in Germany we have the AFD which basically does the same thing.

My mother, her boyfriend and my brother have sadly also fallen into the right wing disinformation trap, it really sucks, its like a thought virus.

At least I still have my other half of the family whith which I can still have some political discussions where everyone enjoys doing it and its more about smaller details and how to turn the theory into practice.

I think it is because having sex is such an inimate thing and as a sex worker you have to do it even with people you are not intimate with and at times when you dont want to be intimate. The sheer number of sex partners probably also doesnt help.

And then there are the assholes who will straight up step over boundaries and directly create trauma.

I live in Germany where sex work legal btw (and I think it should be kept that way).

Comparing the risks to other work is hard, as the risks vary from person to person and from workplace to workplace in each job.

But I would consider doing sex work if I would have to work in a callcenter otherwise lol

In an ideal world people who just want casual sex would find each other. And people who want love as well. In an ideal world everyone would also have someone they are an ideal match to.

The only way I see people getting paid to have sex in an ideal world is if they get paid because their sex is so good, like top athletes.

I thought that people with darker skin dont need it that much compared to people with lighter skin, especially people with really white skin that instantly get sunburn?

RIP sunscreen manufacturers lol

Its funny, Sync (at least on my phone) still shows deleted comments or stuff from banned users, it just shows an icon above the comment, next to the username.

But tbh, I like it that way, because I can now decide if I want to read the comment or not.

Sex work wouldnt exist in an ideal world, as its usually not mentally healthy for the sex worker in the long term.

But since we dont live in an ideal world I would rather legalise it and create laws that protect sex workers instead of criminalising them.

Its the same with all drugs (including cigarettes and alcohol).

Here in Germany Burger King is actually cheaper than McDonald’s, especially when you use coupons, since the ones at Burger King are actually useful.

Looking back on it, I dont even know how I was able to misread your comment lol.

I would say it has nothing to do with environmental regulations, but with lower taxes for the super rich and other stuff like that, which came from increasing influence of rich people in politics.

That lead to increasing poverty, which (combined with lots of propaganda from media owned by rich people) leads to increasingly radical conservative voters, which only lead to more poverty.

His health could have gotten worse, or he finally decided that it just wasnt gonna work out and he should rather quit while winning (and also increasing his parties chance of winning).

Him being dead is just absurd, that would have been reported on instantly.

Temper proof torx makes me lol, because almost every bit set I own includes them.

If you break it off you will most likely leave some behind, which will significantly reduce the mating area because you cannot insert the bit fully and may lead to stripping the screw.
