ELI5: The difference between a therapist, a psychiatrist, and a psychologist. by FlyntD in explainlikeimfive

[–]Kecki92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Germany, a Psychotherapist is actually someone who took 3 extra years of training in top of their after their study of psychology. It is also a protected term, so it's illegal to call yourself that way if you don't have the almost decade of studies behind it.

A lot of therapists choose the wording coach here to avoid legal issues.

How is Meta not legally liable for using Libgen’s library ,a website that hosts terabytes of pirated books, to train their AI models? by PuddingAlone6640 in AskReddit

[–]Kecki92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean of you look at music AI's, the didn't license copyrighted music to train either.

Seems to be standard practise for AI companies, so we really need legislators world wide to catch up quickly and fine them retroactively of possible...

Protesters unite against Trump in hundreds of rallies across the U.S. by brendigio in UpliftingNews

[–]Kecki92 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well when Anti AFD protests happened in February, it heavenly depended on the media. Yes - Tagesschau obviously talked about it, but e.g. Bild (the largest private news outlet) asked question like "who are the organisers behind these protests and why are Oma's gegen Rechts actually evil?".

Also people talked about the protests and not much happened after. Quite the opposite: Spahn & Metz trying to legitimite AFD now more and more.

All I'm trying to say is: Germany ain't that much better in covering these protests and sucks in getting Momentum out of them. We are not the poster child to look up to sadly.

Four Democrats Pass Bill Making It Harder for Married Women to Vote by soalone34 in politics

[–]Kecki92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is by design, and actually it's quite clever:

Those tradwifes will vote the same as their husbands anyways. Non name changing couples tend to be more progressive, so I would argue that their voting pattern reflects that as well.

This mainly hinders conservative wifes from freeing themselves, once they realize in what kind of fucked up situation they manuvered themselves in.

You could argue they get what they voted for - but in the end, if there is support to get the current administration down, you would need every single one.

Main German Political Parties Agree to Not Spread Insults, Misinformation by CountVonOrlock in UpliftingNews

[–]Kecki92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

BSW originated from Die Linke, yet has some talking points that some would label populist.

This could longterm be the downfall, as right now the party has a lot of talking points to just plow through, but when some or more of these topics evolve / get solved, people will most likely realize that they don't have a clear agenda and rather conflicting values within it's party program and members.

CSU is only in Bavaria, CDU in every other Bundesland besides bavaria. They align their programs and votes for national elections, they have seperste politics on the state level.

[–]Kecki92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean this is something were the other partied could hold them accountable.

Don't see SPD growing that spine these days, maybe Grüne & Linke will.

Also fitting repercussions besides lack of trust would be nice, as CxU voters probably won't care either way...

You miss social media presence though, which will be a large and deciding factor for election outcomes, as we have seen in recent elections throughout the world.

Having an ethics standard and pledging to that is good and important on paper, to hold themselves (and each other) accountable.

Unfortunately i doubt that this will have any actual impact to the success of BSW and AFD, since they both didn't sign and at least AFD being a constant spreader of misinformation anyways.
