Ok, dann gib mir ne Partei mit absoluter Mehrheit die dagegen ist und die es aufhalten kann?

Oder willst du ne Petition machen oder so?

Ein Kabinettsbeschluss ist kein fertiges Gesetz. Gegen fertige Gesetze kann man klagen und das wird auch passieren. Am 1.1. wenn die App kommt, wird garantiert NICHT jedes social media Netzwerk sofort alles blockieren was nicht mit signiertem Passbild kommt.

Ok, aber... das ist halt schon TOS. Kommt alles auf die Umsetzung an und die d-you App ist schon unsicherer Schrott, wenn die das damit vorhaben wirds wieder so ein 1984 Ding.

Also ich würde jetzt einfach davon ausgehen das die die EU Entwicklung (bzw. die Kritik) sehen und exakt den EU Kids Act vorhaben. Mit dem ganzen Gepäck an Problemen die der EU Kids Act auch hat.

Aber wir werden sehen...

No.

Your suggestion: discuss it, have a plan, make sure this is the right gift by talking to her, otherwise, the machine is fine.

What?

Male models?

Yeah, well, "peace" in the sense of "the opposite of declared international war".

I am aware of the oppression, that's actually the point. The "nations" legitimately or other have "agreed" to a peace deal that still definitely harms people, but less than in a full on "war". There specifically isn't an installed colonial administration or something. They're did fake-ish elections and manipulated the democracy to put their supporters on top.

Even the Gulf stakes keep killing people

They're not marching literal millions to either front lines to die, or into death camps. That's the bar I'm referring to. An extremely shitty one, no argument there.

I got a kit that was not complicated to assemble but it took a fair bit of time so I would say the price for this machine is pretty fair.

No idea about how well that one works, but I guess it comes with guarantee?

Better make sure to have a list of projects first, because while cool to have, you can just order 3d prints, you don't need the machine yourself. Or you can visit hack spaces and ask for a turn on their machine. And it's like... an actual waste of living space if you're not using it. It's actually in the way. Same thing as useless kitchen devices that sit on the counter and collect dust.

Then again, if you want to be nice and give your sister a nice gift, go for it.

Also idk how relevant money is to you, 800€ can buy a nice dinner, nice clothes and a weekend trip to a nearby city. Or like... think about an actually high quality bag or purse that gets used daily. Definitely the price range to discuss it with her and not just show up at her door with a huge box. 😅

Examples for corruption, and resource extraction related peace? There should be plenty, if that's what you mean. Maybe you'll count the united fruit related coup d'etat in guatemala. Afterwards there was "peace" and "cooperation". There certainly was corruption involved.

The oil situation in general? Idk what you would call the arrangement the rest of the world has with the gulf states.

Actual satire?! Aaaaah! What balm for this bruised soul.

Sure.

But if that corruption had achieved a friendly Russia and peace in Europe, I could easily justify looking the other way in that case.

Look at the situation of the war: billions in damages, millions of dead. If I could trade that for a handful of corrupt politicians who get a fraction of what it's going to cost Europe to rebuild, I would, in seconds.

Hey, if you could make a 5-30 minute video of just gameplay showing off some systems, going through a few levels to see what the gameplay is like, that would really help.

I'm excited for innovation in the genre but I'd like to see some "real substance" before signing up for a test.

That is why Ukraine, the US and Poland in particular all loathed it.

Let's be extremely clear, that Poland loathed it for a specific, different reason: There was and still is a pipeline from Russia to Germany, that is on land that goes through Poland. Which means there is a switch that Poland was in control of, that they could use politically, to threaten German Gas supply, independently of the diplomacy between Russia and Germany.

The thing they hated was losing that political leverage.

And let's also be extremely clear, that the US is also a Gas exporting country, who was against the deal, because they don't like Russia and have an economic interest in selling their own Gas.

Why Ukraine didn't like it should be obvious.

But anyway, fuck the BBC for downplaying the political and economic interest involved.

The basis for the EU started with a pact between France and Germany, exchanging coal and steel. They HATED each other. And look where we are now. Merkel was an awful chancellor. But building on and believing into a chance that things could work out similarly between Russia and Germany and the rest of Europe was not stupid.

Last year, he was arrested in Warsaw on a warrant issued by Germany but a Polish judge refused to extradite him.

In a dramatic twist, he ruled instead that a Ukrainian attack on Nord Stream, if that was what happened, would be a "just" act in a "bloody and genocidal war".

As one source close to the case put it to me: "The Poles don't like Ukrainians, historically, but they hate Russians and Germans even more."

Not a war officially involving Germany or Poland, at the moment. So, personal feelings over international law, huh? Anyway...

I don't particularly care about the outcome tbh, the damage is done, nobody will propose to rebuild it at least not during the war. The individuals did wrong, but they also acted on orders. It's not a case of a small theft where we're expecting personal moral improvement. Everyone knew the legal and moral implications.

And also, the only possible actors were the US and Ukraine. That was clear from day one, the "the Russians did it" was silly. Why would they have blown up their own pipeline? The other neighboring countries would have stood nothing to gain, but if they were found out it would have been a massive political problem, not worth any benefits.

Ukraine has their back against the wall, they try everything, which I think is fine from that point of view.

The US could have ignored the political fallout and had a political and financial interest to do it.

“Runs counter to his own Democratic party…”

But they're not going to throw him out either, so... how about you work on those 1+1 skills.
