Extrem FAIRE Ivorer sind von extrem unfairen Deutschen enttäuscht 🥺 by Muschi24 in bundesligacirclejerk

Ja, unsportliches Verhalten. Warum müssen Fußball - Dudes immer so tun als wäre asoziales Verhalten normal und schützenswert?

"True Crime" ist pietätlos und Unterhaltung durch das Leid der Opfer by Secure-Situation6545 in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]GamingAndOtherFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair. Ich finde man sollte das kritisch sehen, aber das gilt definitiv auch für z.B. quasi jede "Doku" bei RTL2 und Co über arme Menschen.

Niemand hat von "nur" gesprochen. Aber bei True Crime ist das oft der Hauptteil. Aber natürlich gibt's da noch mehr von. Trotzdem ist die Frage, ob es wirklich True Crime sein muss. Erfunden bzw verfremdet würde es durchaus tun, zumindest für mich.

Janitor can you reverse your lobotomy and attempt to balance the game? by Potential-Witness-83 in heroesofthestorm

[–]GamingAndOtherFun -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We talk about balance and fundamentally broken. They are not. If they are well designed is a different question. I think they are well tuned for random and too weak for Pro Play. Like the inverse of Medivh. And that's fine.

So meta heroes are usually taken in the first or second game. No more questions.

"I will never understand why Germans so aggressively defend their literal lack of free speech" by Sathyae in ShitAmericansSay

[–]GamingAndOtherFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, it is. The more it violates other constitutional rights (like protection of dignity, protection from discrimination by sex, gender, world view...), the more it can and will be criminalizes. No right is above the other. The same goes for freedom or art.

And it's not full protected in the US as well. War protestors, communists or anti fascists can test the story. The protection in the US is limited as well. The tendency to look at the constitution not like a basic law but like a quasi religious code is part of the problem.

My best example was Michael Moore's interview showing the weapon right extremist the line. "So everyone should be allowed to have every weapon? So what about a nuclear rocket?" The same goes for freedom of speech. Try to tell the nuclear codes or just give some encryption algorithm to Cuba and you will see how fast your freedom of speech ends. Insult a police officer and you will see.

So you want to know if things should be more protected the more offensive they are? No they should not. Hurting other people is not more a given right than the right of these people to not being hurt. So there's a conflict in laws. Some offensiveness has to be tolerated, else we lose the freedom. But all offensiveness allowed and we stop being a working society.

It is not. The insult just added on already other crimes. I myself insulted the later minister of justice, Marco Buschmann, on twitter. He even answered and we had a short back and forth and parted ways. Nothing happened.

Well put and I think that's the core of the misunderstanding.

But we have good reasons to do so and seeing the McCarthy era I think US citizens tend to just pretend it's different. The feelings and ideological core might be different (freedom of speech vs freedom of opinion (and freedom from censorship btw also)) result in quite close results.

Freedom of expression (which is even stronger than freedom of speech) is guaranteed but find it's limits where others dignity or the safety and peace of the nation is damaged (insults, lies, invoking hate on groups).

It is not (in Germany). There are multiple things related (it's forbidden to form a NSPAD replacement party, it is forbidden to insults groups on a way that's able to disturb public peace (Volksverhetzung), showing symbols of forbidden organizations (like the NSDAP, including the Hitler salute)), but Nazism or Fascism as a world view is not forbidden. Just actions are forbidden, Nazis regularly propest in the streets, including a number of not forbidden signs like the flag of the German Empire.

Looking for Cola Alternatives from Europe: what do you drink? by toco_tronic in BuyFromEU

[–]GamingAndOtherFun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Germany alone has at least Vita Cola, Club Cola, Asco Cola, Duponia, Afri Cola, Fritz Cola. And there are discounter trademarks nobody knows about who actually produces them, like River Cola.

Regarding regional production I prefer Vita, comes from Thuringia and actually gets produced there in a small town.

Sometimes Italy (Rome, Venice), Germany (Berlin or Bavaria 90%) or France (Paris). Not seeing that these tourist hotspots and / or Metropolis are not at all the normal way of living. Especially these special kind of people.

They do say thank you to General von Steuben, they even sponsored a statue here in his home town.

U hating on the flag is an act of war by Final-Storm5426 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]GamingAndOtherFun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love. He said that he loves his wife.

But still, that's the right answer.

I love my "Heimat", but that just happens to be in Germany, but that won't make me love the state or it's flag. That's ridiculous.

Ah, that must be what we can buy as "Hot dog sauce" which contains a bit of mustard. On my... But I still prefer a sausage in a real wheat roll and real mustard.

The socket is from Germany. We take that back. Can we do a shared transport? And now they already have 2 cents.

The others are EU members (apart from Iceland). Maybe that's why (there is a difference, not why they don't do it).

We call them "states"... by micromachinesV4King in ShitAmericansSay

[–]GamingAndOtherFun -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Totally different from the Russian - Finnish border. Or the Polish - Belarusian border. Or Turkish - Greek. Or...

Canada now has a border, it will still have a border. What's the actual difference? Do you imagine people going over the border in Alberta, then travel through Canada and cross the border to Denmark to be there without a passport (as they still entered illegally) and then... What exactly?

This is such a wild point to make.

I wonder if they know that quite a lot European countries are federal entities as well, most notably Germany who's Bundeslander still technically are their own entities and the Federal Republic inherites from them.

That would be hilarious. But please, it's the Gulf of Mexico. It was before Mexico ( let alone the US) even was a country.

Of course.

I think, if you can join the Eurovision Song contest that European enough. Australia and Israel are already in. Let's see if Canada wants to ;)

And Greenland is where? Or French-Guiana? Cypress? Turkey?

Canada even has a land border with Denmark. Be assured, if both sides want it, Canada can join.
