Hmm they better hope no one tries to sell competing DRM-free airplane

Oh no Germany's economy is suffering

How could this have possibly happened

Typing :Hindenburg: really ought to do something here

Straight out of the gaping shitass orifice of Failed States of America propaganda. Incredible

The presence of the paint makes this nightmare area more walkable than plenty of places in the Failed States of America. I once had the misfortune of living in a place where the presence (or much more often, absence) of sidewalk was completely up to the owner of the property the stretch of road in question abutted. The rare property owner who chose to add sidewalk created a completely useless, disconnected decoration.

Maybe at some point. More practically from their perspective they will try to make hosting one's own data increasingly inaccessible and unaffordable. The Internet is the landlord's final frontier as there is no more physical space left to enclose on Earth.

Yeah as someone who migrated from the Failed States to Europe I'm really concerned for the future here. You are correct opposing the war has been perversely painted as a right-wing issue and I have no idea what it's going to take to undo the damage of Failed States propaganda. Germans in particular for understandable historical reasons seem to have an allergy to asserting themselves and fighting for their own national interests, preferring in a way to be suborned to the Failed States. It's possible as a result the AfD will get very dangerous very quickly if the left here remains divided and politically impotent, unable to offer its own clear anti war message.

Yeah to me this is why I think people saying the collective west (chimerical) is getting "owned" because tens of thousands of Ukrainians (also Russians) are getting thrown into a meat grinder are wrong. Unless you mean countries like Germany are getting ripped off by the Failed States of America for monopoly priced energy and new weapons. The current state of the board is exactly what the Failed States and its military and energy concerns want. They've planned this shit for a long time.

The trouble is, when will it ever make economic sense from the perspective of the military industrial complex to turn off the tap? Even if Ukraine offers nothing in payment the European countries sending all their F16s about to become new customers for F35s...
