The fucking app is a perfect demonstration of what happens when a company has way too many middle managers who have to justify their existence somehow. So instead of helping to efficiently get people from A to B, they just keep "developing" features for like 0.01% of users.
Müsste ich anhand der Geschwindigkeiten der anderen schätzen, was Benzin derzeit kostet, würde ich auf 50 Cent pro Liter tippen.
Vielleicht unterschätzt du aber auch, wie viele Dienstwägen in DE unterwegs sind. Die Vertriebler, die ich kenne, interessiert nur, möglichst schnell zum Kunden zu kommen, nicht was die Firma dafür zahlt.
It's true but it doesn't matter. One of the main promises of the far-right is to free people from the shackles of "reason" and "logic."
Otherwise, how would they vote for a party that's going to make their lives worse in every aspect? It's not a bug, it's a feature.
I think we all can imagine how lesbians will fare after the 4th Reich that the far right is is yearning for has been installed.
This is false. Have you ever been around just a single AfD voter? They aren't driven by "reason". They hate reason. To them, it's just another devious tool of the "elite," i.e. academics, Greens, and the "leftist" establishment.
What the AfD achieves or not hardly matters, except for one thing: "the immigrants." If you paid any attention, their voters have been screaming for quite a while, mouths foaming:
"AfD is the strongest party in this city/ county/ state, and has been for more than a month. And yet, yesterday I saw another immigrant on the streets! When will this finally be cleaned up?"
That's what we are up against. Not in any way rational actors.
*Pulls up soapbox*
A little bit of background might be in order:
AfD is the strongest party in all of the former GDR states, including SA where yesterdays' elections were held. They stand for unbridled, neoliberal capitalism, garnished with lots of anti-immigration rhetoric. Their boss worked for Goldman-Sachs and that's saying it all, really.
SA - one state out of 16 - has 2.1 million inhabitants, out of Germany's 83.5 million. They do have an outsized influence on the 2nd chamber of parliament, though. As of now, it looks like they will form a coalition government and rule SA.
In the whole of Germany, AfD currently polls at 27-28%; runner-up is the conservative CDU which is currently leading the federal government, at 20-21%. AfD polls especially high in places where the previous, notorious right-wing party, NPD, did; and before them, the NSDAP. They poll especially high among blue-collar workers, first-time (young) voters and previous non-voters.
In the EU parliament, AfD has 15 of ESN's 27 seats. Judging from the seating in the parliament, and from who wants to form a coalition with the AfD, it becomes clear that they are significantly farther right-wing than the likes of Orbán, Le Pen, Fico, Meloni, Salvini or any of the EU-wide known names, really.
I recommend this free 2024 study to assess the immense danger democracy in Germany is facing. Trans people, women, feminists, Jews, immigrants, social Darwinism - far-right wing voters poll approximately 1.5-3x as high in "hate" values than right-wing voters.
The long and short is: Don't come to Germany, especially not Eastern Germany, and especially not if you don't have lily-white skin. This is my honest, sober advice for you.
Thank you for the explanation. But isn't the phrasing in the meme totally soul-crushing?
You get 40 hours this year - all year - where you don't have to work for us.

seems to be the implication.
In Europe, even part-time workers' time off is counted in "days off." Even if the end result were the same, I just think it sounds a lot nicer for the employee. "Hey boss, I won't be coming in for the next two weeks. Nah, make that three."
I read somewhere that viral marketing has been around since the 19th century. I guess it was only a matter of time until it reached the Fediverse.
The flag kind of looks like the one of Hamburg, but not quite.
Wasn't that the premise of "About Schmidt"?

Bauernfängerei als Erfolgsrezept.
So sieht's im Zeitalter der "dunklen Aufklärung" aus.

"Faux-alternative", I have to remember this.

A utopia for the dictators, sure.
No. It's a cult. AfD can do no wrong in the eyes of their voters.
I don't think it comical. In fact, I find the last paragraph of the post absolutely chilling in its attempt to shift the blame.
It was already like this when he bought it at the dick hat store.

Sometimes I wonder where the Fediverse would be without SDF.

I don't know "those spaces," but that seems like trolling to me.
The ℮ gave it away, didn't it?
Let the bunnies hit the floor.
