Idk man I think I have to buy one.

They just make me forget about the bread.

Relate to laughing about you own jokes or being watched by the FBI?

Choked me, but no one believes a 9-year old anyways so nothing happened.

He did though, but they obviously let it happen.

Either way, the world is so intertwined that anything that happens on a bigger scale will have an impact on you, no matter where you are.

It’s not even the high and mighty, they don’t really care who works to build their shit. They are even happy about cheap labour that comes with migration. It’s the average Joe that doesn’t see the problem, projects everything on migration and is unable to think rational.

Seeing the massive right wing shift in my country (germany) just because the government proposed to shift to 65% renewable home heating in the next 20 years and slightly above average migration numbers that allegedly bring communities close to collapse if you believe the media, I’m losing all hope of anything ever changing to the better. People will never accept any measures that truly address the root of our problems, because they could mean a slight inconvenience for a short moment and limit the freedoms and possibilities that are taken for granted, but are really just a consequence of the technical development in the last decades. Humans where okay with not having a car or fly around the world for thousands of years, but now for some reason it’s life-defining. People are egocentric, dumb and can’t see past their own little world to understand that there are collective problems that only can be solved collectively. I know how condescending that sounds, but I really don’t know how to see all that differently.

We are absolutely, 100% fucked. I’ve been saying for about 10 years now, that the earliest time for actual change, for collectively deciding what’s right for humanity and the planet, socialism or whatever you want to call it, will come after the next wave of fascism and every day it becomes more obvious that this assessment was correct.

Europe are already shitting their pants because of a couple of thousand migrant, so guess what will happen when it gets into the 100.000s.

I’m expecting full dystopia.

Mainly to get to work (10 minutes), but also all other short ways and occasionally getting out in nature.

As soon as money allows it, I’ll get a better one though. It’s used and I mainly bought it because the seller was close to where I live, but I need a larger frame and I want more modern mechanics, e.g. disc brakes, overall.

Well that is one of the things I have no idea about. But maybe it depends on the type of mechanism you use? I can’t imagine it would be too hard with my bike.

Repairing your bike is easy and checking the important parts every couple of months makes riding it a lot better.

More RAM would be kinda nice though.

Good beer is good beer.

Maybe you crippled them. Think about that.

It’s not whataboutism when it’s on topic. You should look up that word. Also, anecdotes don’t matter when you try to compare things. Statistics do though.

1. Right wing sources, yay.

2. If you honestly compare Germany and the US, you will notice that the prevalence of rape is much higher in the US (US: ~43/100k vs. Ger: ~15/100k, source: statista.com). Comparing gang rape specifically is more difficult though, because the US doesn’t seem to keep track of that (or at least i couldn’t find absolute numbers). According to Wikipedia 22.8% of rapes with female victims where gang rapes. That makes ~9/100k in the US vs ~1/100k in Germany.

Then again I don’t think statistics regarding a lot of crimes are easily comparable. There might be differences regarding underreporting and legal definitions that skew numbers in different ways.

We might overuse that comeback, but at least we don’t have school shootings.

Even if there are more klicks, there is no way any of these lead to a decision to buy their crap.

Cheese is screaming all the time, but you can’t see that.

By the sound mine make I would have thought free jazz.
