My first though was sunken cost phallacy, but then again maybe it’s in the nature of authority-obiding jobs to attract people who, well, would love to live in an authoritarian regime. Life is simple and structured this way.

pretty high

ba dumm tss.

My all time favourite is Lord of war. Perfect song, nice way to show the bullet production and then in the end when it hits its target… Could not imagine a better opening to this movie. Especially once you get to know that it is based on some real russian arms dealer.

They’re on the same ground actually, not a hill or anything. I just took the pic on the very top of the ride.

Thank you very much

Well I wouldn’t put it past him. He wasn’t shot by the police though.

That’s a weird flex, but you made me laugh.

Thank you very much. I actually took two really beautiful pics that morning. Hope you enjoy a swan spreading its wings in the morning mist:

This is exactly why I’m doing most of my posts bilingual: It’s a fun way to learn such things. I also tend to translate location names, such as Oaktown for Eichstätt.

Here is the full album that I created this way if you’re interested: Today I went on a walk with my dad in my hometown https://imgur.com/gallery/z1ddA72

Germany has taken some serious “renaturation” steps to fix the grave errors done since the 1940s to 1980s where they straightened rivers and dried up a lot of land. E.g. at all of Altmühl’s weirs they dug a little creek around it to enable fish to migrate or sometimes even bigger projects like this one:

I used Der Spiegel as it is the first big reputable newspaper reporting on this. Haven’t found an English source yet. I have all trackers blocked through noscript and am on mobile, so don’t really know if this is better, but here’s an alternative link: https://www-aerzteblatt-de.translate.goog/nachrichten/149595/Aorta-als-eigenstaendiges-Organ-eingestuft?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Finally an article mentioning that CDU members were also present and supporting the plans of the AfD. They are the enablers and cause for the “Rechtsruck” with their policies and rhetoric, trying to fish for far right votes for years.

I totally agree. I’m just saying there’s a huge cost factor to take into account, plus it’s not easy to transform an industry so huge.

You honestly think anybody would be working those hours if they don’t even own anything? Also, if the state did what they do, employ a whole lot of foreign people and pay them way below the minimum wage, the outcry would be extreme. The state needs this to be private, otherwise it would be way more expensive.
