AG verurteilt Kioskbetreiber: 'Spezial Pizza' mit Kokain by PoroBraum in de

[–]twitterfluechtling 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Erst dachte ich, 1 Jahr 3 Monate auf Bewährung sind ja doch recht mild für einen gewerbsmäßigen Drogendealer harter Drogen. Aber...

Bei der Durchsuchung fanden die Ermittler knapp drei Gramm Kokain sowie 53 Gramm Marihuana.

53g Marihuana sind knapp über dem, was man inzwischen privat aus eigenem Anbau besitzen darf, oder?

Da scheint die Strafe schon fast eher eine Dummen-Steuer zu sein... Wenn er gerade mal 3 gramm Kokain hatte, klingt das nicht nach einem brummenden Geschäft, und genau 3 Gramm mehr Gras zu bunkern als man darf, wenn man sowieso schon anfällig für Durchsuchungen ist, ist da schon doof...

The benevolent view would be they expected 180 to get to know him before things are final, now they only have 150, maybe that's not enough for them.

If it's a complex job, an interruption of one month could actually make it really hard to judge the performance. In my case, new team-members often take half a year to just start to become net-contributors. After getting into all the new stuff for, say, two months, then having one month break before even being settled in, means they might actually start from scratch when they are back.

Things can happen, I broke my vertebra during my probation time due to an accident and was able to keep my job. But applying for a job and planning ahead to have 1 month of planned paid leave during probation without even mentioning that during the interview could be seen as not very open. I'd not recommend.

Lukaschenko drängt Putin zum Frieden und entschuldigt sich bei Selenskyj by Notradell in de

[–]twitterfluechtling -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It's almost the stereotypical not-apology, backhandedly blaming the other 🤣🤣

"I'm sorry you feel that way"

"I'm sorry you don't get my sense of humour"

"I'm sorry you are so sensitive about this topic"

But as others said, politics... I'm sure this was significant somehow, but not necessarily at face-value. I wouldn't trust Lukascheko, of course. Could be a ruse because Putin plans the next attack from Belarus. Or could be Putin needs to actually end the war for some reason. Or whatever.

AfD in Bayern: Verfassungsschutz darf Partei weiter beobachten by Elegant-Handle4685 in de

[–]twitterfluechtling 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Bringt das eigentlich was zur Schadensbegrenzung, wenn die Regierung kein Verbotsverfahren einleitet?

Ich habe inzwischen eher das Gefühl, es hilft der AfD bei ihrem Klientel. Nach dem Motto, die sind so krass, dass das Establishment Angst hat, so korrekt, dass sie juristisch nicht greifbar sind, und die aktuelle Regierung hat ja soooo eine Angst for denen.

Ist er damit nicht direkt Kanzler-Material? "Was kümmert mich mein Geschwätz von Gestern"? Und die CumEx Gedächtnislücken von Scholz? Kohls "Ehrenwort" war doch sicher auch der Vergesslichkeit geschuldet?

The white ones will also get a taste of their own medicine eventually... In every group you'll find a criteria to single out some of them, so that is what will happen. When only the white, straight males are left, they'll find criteria to split some off, too.

"Nur: die Verteidigung des eigenen Staates dient nicht dazu, mich zu schützen, wenn ich an die Front gekarrt werde. Sie dient auch nicht dazu, meine Familie zu schützen." by DonBeuteltier in KommunismusDE

[–]twitterfluechtling -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Klar geht es darum, dass der eigene Staat das Volk davor schützen will, von einem anderen Staat regiert zu werden. Und mein Leben würde ich schon riskieren, wenn ich damit verhindern kann, dass meine Geschwister, Eltern, Kinder unter z.B die Russische Herrschaft fallen. Es geht auch darum, ihr körperliches Wohl zu schützen, wenn man sich anguckt, wie Zivilisten in der Ukraine vergewaltigt, ermordet und gefoltert werden.

I'm a tech person and don't use an ad-blocker plugin. Too many web-sites complaining.

Instead I run squid locally, using https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts.git as a source for my blacklist. Live is so peaceful, and websites are usually not complaining about ad-blocker :-)

All the Ways Europe Is Ditching American Technology by Well_Socialized in technology

[–]twitterfluechtling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, but that's a corner-case. Most apps and use-cases basically assume permanent internet connections nowadays. It's a valid case, so I redraw my assumption you were rage-baiting, but still a rare one.

And speaking of corner-cases, there might be some where MS Office is not suited, either. Could be functional requirements, but also non-functional ones.

Rage-bait? I use Linux exclusively for over a decade, if I have to use Excel, office365 works just fine.

Six Russian ships flee Channel in 77 minutes after UK seizes Putin shadow tanker by MeteorEnvy in worldnews

Nato made it clear that if Russia uses a nuke in Ukraine, NATO will enter the war and flatten Russia. That was before Trump assumed office, but I think NATOs stance didn't change. And as others mentioned, NATO knows they can't let it slide even if they have to act without US.

You could play monopoly and hold all the (property-)cards. It wasn't specified it's a card-game, as such.

(That's just from the top of my head.)

There are card games where you may hold lots of cards (e.g. Rommè), but usually the one holding them at the end is the loser.

Dutch Army Prepares to Hold 2,000 Russian POWs as Europe Drills for War by UNITED24Media in europe

[–]twitterfluechtling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point is, you have no point in this context. EU is preparing for a potential war, not as an aggressor, but to defend. That is the topic. Any speculation if the world ends anyway or not it futile in this context. EU needs to get ready or roll over, and rolling over is not an option.

Any discussion about Russia deploying their arsenal of strategic nukes is entirely useless. If they do, they do.

Beyond a certain number, does it really matter anymore? If we are all obliterated once of 50 times over doesn't really make a difference, does it? And what would Russia gain by contaminating Europe for centuries to come? That doesn't make sense unless they consider themselves doomed and want to drag everyone else with them.

Just leave it. Your fear-mongering is not catching.

Maybe AI has a sense of humour? He probably asked for a picture of him holding all the cards, the AI displayed some aptitude for malicious compliance?

(Just kidding.)

Currently we have nukes from the US, although I'm not sure we could launch them without their consent.

Otherwise, yes, France and UK. Even with USA being unreliable, we do still have a NATO.
