Da ist Google Translate wohl etwas zu förmlich unterwegs -> "What is the expected frequency of your future video posts" führt zu diesem Kunstwerk. Aber ehrlich gesagt klingt das selbst im Englischen so bescheuert unauthentisch, dass ich mir schwer vorstellen kann, wie dadurch Interaktionen in die Höhe schießen.
(Ich hoffe, ich bin mit dem Profilbild nicht zu nah am NSFW-Verbot.)
Hier geht's übrigens zur zitierten Studie: https://www.netzwerk-steuergerechtigkeit.de/milliardenvermoegen/
Yes, somehow the barrier to actually engaging with others is lost in the fediverse. The guilt of posting on Reddit has been swapped by some strange feeling of obligation and/or pride when posting on here.
I made an effort to interact with one community in particular to get it going and it actually started getting a tad more lively recently. So maybe there's hope if we play our parts.
Hier der Link zum Bericht des EU Tax Observatory, der im Artikel besprochen wird: https://www.taxobservatory.eu/publication/global-tax-evasion-report-2024/
Und ganz am Rande: Ich merke, dass es mir so langsam auf den Keks geht, dass man im Oktober 2023 seinen Bericht schon als 2024er-bericht titulieren muss, um langfristig Relevanz zu suggerieren. Meine NGO macht diese Dinge aus denselben Gründen und mir fällt auch keine Lösung ein, aber was Hartmut Rosa wohl dazu sagen würde...
China has risen way less in terms of GDP per capita, even using power purchasing parity estimates. Japan is at 52k $, China only at 23k (Wikipedia).
I cannot ultimately judge this but the common wisdom about the Chinese social contract seems to be that the citizens get comparatively high economic security for comparatively low civil liberties. And while China's pro-poor growth has certainly been more than impressive historically, I am not sure that the comparatively still low incomes especially in the inner parts of China are sufficient to maintain this social contract if growth does really slow down significantly.
Edit: I agree in general though that the state of Japan is probably not be as bad as it is made out to be in the article.
Shameful stuff, telling her to be mindful regarding policy violations and their (invisible) processes when speaking up about the issue.
Hat nur so halb was hiermit zu tun, aber mir war selten jemand so unsympathisch nach einem Interview wie Schreiner nach ihrem Auftritt im FAZ Podcast für Deutschland mit ihrem wiesligen Politiker-Ausweichen.
That was a strange final with all those inaccuracies. Very unlike a normal Carlsen match. And still he's winning, the beast that he is.
Sound great! Being gently touched in the face always feels wonderful, I think, no matter whether in a romantic or a non-romantic setting like yours. Scratches the itch for intimacy with another being.
I played my first official league game of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and it was a great experience. Not professional gaming or anything, just hobby gaming in the lowest league. But I always wanted to do that and finally found a group of nice people to do it with.
Weir's characters are always so 'alive' somehow!
Weir! Though I am currently reading Martine myself.
