“Vamos a la playa” by Righeira is about a nuclear catastrophe, but if you don’t speak spanish, you are likely to assume it’s just a good vibes summer song about going to the beach.

I compared these numbers to the general population (Source: https://www.wahlrecht.de/umfragen/ )

Support for the far right AfD is about 5 percentage points lower than among the general population (12% vs 17%)

For the conservative CDU/CSU it is 10 pp lower (20% vs 30%)

For the Social Democrats it is 3 pp lower (12% vs 15%)

For the liberal FDP it is 4 pp higher (8% vs 4%)

For the Greens it is about 4 pp higher (18% vs 14%)

For the Wagenknecht alliance, a weird mix of far right and far left, it is about the same (5%)

Unfortunately this article doesn’t mention the socialist left, which for the general population sits at around 3%

So, to conclude (and from my own experience) youths in Germany don’t deviate that much from the general population in terms of their political views. They tend to be less conservative and xenophobic. Most of them are somewhere in the center, having slightly more liberal tendencies than the general population.

Neither, we just tend to look at the past with rose-colored glasses, forgetting how shitty things have always been.

Pretty much everything. The world wide median per-capita household income is less than 3k USD per year. It is easy to forget how insanely wealthy we are in western Europe.

I have certainly put a lot of time into things without achieving the outcome I initially hoped for. I don’t think any of that was pointless though. All these experiences made me who I am today, each girlfriend or job that didn’t end up working out made me learn something about myself, each failed project taught me something, if only to be patient and deal with frustration.

I try to think that life is all about the journey, and not always arriving where you set out to go is what really makes it interesting.

Lel, of course they dream. Whether they see stuff in their dreams likely depends on whether they they never had sight in the first place, or lost it at some point in their lives.

I think pretty much everyone would agree that’s bad. However, I don’t think we’ll ever get to the point where we recognize a machine might be capable of suffering. There is no way of proving anything, biological or not, has a consciousness and the capability to suffer. And with AI being so different from us, I believe most people would simply disregard the idea.

Heck, look at the way we treat animals. A pig’s brain is very similar to our own. Nociceptors, the nerve cells responisble for pain in humans, can also be found in most animals, but we don’t care. We kill 4 million pigs every day, and 200 million chickens. No mass murder in the history of mankind even gets close to that.

The sad truth is, most people only care about their wellbeing, and that of their friends and family. Even other humans don’t matter, as long as they’re strangers. Otherwise people wouldn’t be hoarding wealth like that, while hundreds of millions of people around the world are starving.

Ah sorry, I kinda started ranting. Yes, I’d care.

Let ice cream warm up a bit after taking it out the freezer before eating it. Makes it softer and you taste more as your tongue isn’t numbed as much.

Warum wird eigentlich ständig mit dem Begriff “Extremismus” um sich geworfen? Weder bei der letzte Generation, noch bei protestierende Bauern gibt es Probleme mit Extremismus. RAF und NSU, das waren Extremisten. Menschen die bereit sind für ihre Sache andere Menschen körperlich (oder auch seelisch) zu verletzen. Die Straßen zu blockieren hat damit nichts zu tun.

Wasn’t that just a meme? Where can one find that list anyway?

I’m all for rehabilitation. But according to the University of Adelaide, almost half of prisoners released in 2018-19 returned to prison within two years. Not much rehabilitation going on there. Also, if we’re talking about rehabilitation, fixed lengths for prison sentences make no sense. A prisoner should then be released into society when they have been rehabilitated, not after a fixed amount of years.

“Murder in Victoria carries a potential maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.” Now that’s wild.
