Were only one instance exist or did I miss something?

“Either they are making this up as they go along, or the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing,” said Aaron Weiss, deputy director of the Center for Western Priorities, a nonpartisan conservation group.

Why not both? The end goal is to hand over federal land to Burgum and friends, so as long as that happens who cares about the details?

OK, I am going to try arguiung that privacy supersedes food:

To have a right to anything means there is something that I own. Owning something puts a division between me and others who can not own this specific thing: My right is my own, I do not have to diminish it by sharing. The most fundamental form of division is absence. Having a right to privacy is a right to the absence from others. Therefore the right to privacy is a more fundamental one than the right to food.

However, I agree that in practice eating in public beats dying in private any time of the day. 🤷

I fully support sending Taurus to Ukraine but I am afraid this might be one of Merz’ ‘Stammtischreden’ that he does frequently: Just blurb out whatever he thinks at the moment and sounds good while at the bar, but then decides otherwise once sobered up.

life is unfair and the big dog eats the small dog.

Life is unfair, because people choose not to be fair.

You might ask her why she believes this an acceptable state of things. Is it maybe because it is beneficial to her? Would she accept the system if she wasn’t beautiful and/or smart?

Another possible approach I see is taking away some privileges or force her to do more work around the house? After all, as parent you are top dog, so why not treat her unfairly? Its the natural order of things after all, isn’t it?

Maybe sprinkle in some historic lessons about child labor and tyrannicide to show that just because something is like this does not mean that it has to continue to be like this.

Good point!

Ah, a person of class!

It might certainly be a factor, though: German citizenship is very “valuable” in the sense that it opens a lot of possibilities for travelling. A lot of countries (and we are not just talking EU member states here) do not require as much paperwork or none at all if you own a German passport compared to a US one.

Oh, they can do that if need be. They already tested it.

Not sure how to interpret your question.

In case my message wasn’t clear: I think the reason the rightwing extremist AFD has overtaken the conservative CDU in polls is twofold. On one hand the CDU is adopting more extreme rightwing rhetoric and this validates the AFD as ‘the original fascism’. Secondly the CDU opposed new debt based investments for the last four year and campaigned heavily based on this sentiment. Now they approved a plan for up to one TRILLION € of debt to finance defence and infrastructure related projects.

Why choose the off-brand when you can get the original fascism for the same one vote?

Especially considering that the conservatives fooled every voter by throwing out basically every fiscal austerity policy they so vehemently defended during the last years, the moment they won the election and now need money to form a functioning goverment.

The difference I see is that Ukraine has an offical foreign legion while Russia categorically denies any involvment of foreign forces on their sides.

Except, no employer will allow you to use your own AI model. Just like you can’t bring your own work equipment (which in many regards even is a good thing) companies will force you to use their specific type of AI for your work.

The CDU/CSU is exploring feasibility, but the SPD and Greens remain firmly against reversing the nuclear phase-out, citing stability and past policy shifts.

SPD, Greens, the power industry, economists … basically everyone except the guys who wouldn’t want a nuclear plant or waste dump next to them anyway: Söder Challenge

Uhm, I guess you missed the news when it was revealed that Deepseek had a little more backing than they claimed.

Because that’s easier to do than making rich peoples life harder.

If by ‘legal definition’ you mean the definition used in the recent letter signed in parlament: That’s not legally binding. It’s basically just a statement with no legal status. But yes it could signal the path the new government might take in the future.

Given the murky definition of antisemitism which was recently adopted in a letter from parlament, this could lead to some very interesting but uncomfortable situations for the government. Such as revoking citizenship from Jews or Israelis critical of Israels current government.
