My grandpa was shot by fascists because he refused to fight in their fascist army. So in my book, lazer mullets that kill fascists are the best kind of mullets.

Jo. Genau das ist das Problem. Neben der unfassbaren Kommerzialisierung im allgemeinen ist das Münchner Meisterabonnement der zweite Grund, warum mir Fussball komplett fremd, unwichtig und nebensächlich geworden ist. Beim WM-Finale 1990 noch als Teen begeistert am TV geklebt, werde ich diese WM nicht mehr verfolgen.

Einem Bundesligaclub zu folgen und bei seinen Spielen mitfiebern fühlt sich nicht mehr viel anders an, als einem Börsenkurs eines DAX-notierten Unternehmens zu folgen. Da kommt in etwa die gleiche emotionale Verbindung auf.

Am Ende gewinnt dann eine der versammelten Millionärstruppen. Und in Deutschland isses obendrein noch immer dieselbe. Hurra. Konfetti.

Nichts ist mehr im Free-TV, alles kostet extra, DAZN hält richtig die Hand auf. Und dort höre ich Sportreporter, die, statt wie früher Wontorra, Hartmann oder Hansch authentisch zu kommentieren hauptsächlich Fake-Begeisterung ins Mikro schauspielern.

Schön, wenn da noch einer Spaß dran haben kann, dem gönne ich das auch. Aber ich bin aus der Nummer endgültig raus.

Great political song I thought deserving of sharing here.

Basically a carbonara with extra steps - fry your guanciale cubes, set aside. Reserve the fat from the guanciale. Then, fry the meat from a fennel salsiccia, add a bit of passata. Mix cooled down guanciale fat with pecorino and egg yolks in a bain marie to create a creamy sauce. Precook pasta for half the time it takes to fully cook it. Add pasta and a little pasta water to pan, finish cooking pasta until all dente. Combine with sauce, fried guanciale and serve with parmeggiano cheese and fresh black pepper.

Germany's satirical newspaper "Der Postillon" writes:

"The renowned Academy of Fine Arts Vienna has surprisingly offered Donald Trump a place to study painting today. Although he claims never to have applied for a place, the US president must now consider whether to continue his political career or pursue a dazzling career as a respected artist.

“We have become increasingly aware of Mr. Trump in recent weeks and months and would like to welcome him to our institution,” explains Rector Johan Friedrich Weichle.

In the past, the university did not always give promising intellectuals the opportunity they deserved, thus unnecessarily driving them into politics. “That should never happen again,” says Weichle.

The university is confident that it can accept the 79-year-old politician with a clear conscience, even without an application portfolio. “We've seen the picture he drew for Jeffrey Epstein. That wasn't bad,” explains the rector. “He definitely has the necessary ego. In the end, that's enough for a career as a postcard painter, at least.”

However, Weichle also warns: “Studying at the academy is no walk in the park and requires a lot of attention. The rest of your time is spent on wild student parties and cleaning your shared apartment. There's usually no time left for politics or writing a political manifesto.”

If Trump accepts this unique offer, he could gain his first artistic experience as a newly minted art student in a wax crayon course set up especially for him as early as next week."

It's like their ugliness went from inside to outside.

I propose a kind of peaceful ring exchange - Greenland to the US, Alaska to Canada, California to Denmark and Texas to Mexico. Yellowstone goes to the Vatican so they can prevent an eruption with prayers. The British kingdoms then go to Ireland, with the exception of Scotland, which goes to Bavaria because of cultural similarities.

Have we forgotten anything? Oh yes. Russia goes to Ukraine. For reparations reasons alone.

As a German I can confirm all stereotypes about us are completely true. We hate each other and ourselves, we only eat bratwurst and drink beer and we have no sense of humour whatsoever. My desktop wallpaper is a portrait of David Hasselhoff. I'm always punctual and I don't know how to party, which makes sense because I work all day anyway.

Hope this helps.

I'm German.

I used to be poor as fuck, didn't have a job, had lots of medical issues due to being very overweight, was depressed and dysfunctional, also a stoner on top of all that. That was basically how I lived from 2000 to 2009.

But the state paid my rent and gave me some money so I would at least not become homeless. And then, a guy at the "Jobcenter" said hey, wanna have a two-year state sponsored job training? It's 18k Euros, but the German state will pay for it. All you gotta do is see a doctor every month and have him certify to us that you're off drugs.

I said fuck yeah, let's do it. Last chance to get my life back on track.

Fast forward to today.. I'm married, have a well paid job as a software architect, earned enough money I could probably live independently for over two years, have a handsome ETF portfolio.

In America, I would have been fucked. If you're poor in Germany, there's always a way out if you just get your shit together.

I'm genuinely sick of seeing his face, hearing his voice or even being told by the news about the new stupid shit he said today. I'm sick of the people who idolize him when it should be so blatantly obvious to anyone with even a shred of human decency that every word in OP's post is accurate.

This man is the embodiment of our inadequacy as a species.

His wife was shocked when she saw that picture because she had no idea he's a Coldplay fan.

This guy earned > 1 million euros per year before he became chancellor and told a journalist he believes he's middle class. Nuff said.

No matter how often it's posted, it remains a fake.

No atheist hates god. How can you hate something you don't think exists?
