I know I’ll get crucified for this but EDWIN jeans from Japan are the GOAT

This was a thing even into the mid 2000s in my household :)

That’s cool and all but I don’t think there’s a drug in existence which can make that webpage make sense. It’s like an HTML-CSS-fever dream

Tbh, how likely is it that two big ships with sonar, radar, radio communications and (possibly impaired) visibility on both sides collide by freak accident? Impossible, no of course not. But likely? Very unlikely…

Just on the verge of 900k personell… will the meatgrinder ever end…

You’re absolutely right! I should’ve said malt or grain whiskey.

Tbh, I can’t stand Bourbon, regardless of country of origin. Don’t know of a single good scotch from the States though.

Good, keep your Jack Daniels and I keep my Chianti, Grappa, Merlot and Riesling. Win-win.

Seems like the AI bubble is finally global now 😂

I realize the media can and does sometimes frame politicians in the worst light possible. But my god, seeing full sessions, not just short clips of the current president and vice president (especially the Selensky debacle in the White house)… they really are acting like comic-book stooges in front of cameras

AI Data Miners really are a plague of our times…

Yes, I use an HHKB (60%) and I love it. You can press fn+4 different keys to get the same result as arrow keys and it’s actually better than traditional arrow keys in that your right hand doesn’t have to move away from the home row. There’s a also other lovely details such as [Caps lock] being replaced by [Ctrl] great if you work a lot with Emacs or Unix terminals in general. Oh and them Topre switches 😮‍💨

This isn’t Reddit, you don’t have to reach boiling point just because you disagree with someone online. I have a German passport but my parents were “legal” immigrants from a non developed country. My wife is a “legal” immigrant (I’m not even mentioning skin colors because I think it’s a stupid way of trivializing one’s whole identity and life experience). They respected the conditions of moving to this country and they abided by them. But you call me a nazi because I don’t agree with your idea of who should be conditionally allowed in our country or not.

We went through the whole legal rigamarooo and I know how German civil servants can be painfully slow. You and me can clearly both agree that German authorities (I can’t speak for other EU countries) cannot efficiently deal with the influx of illegal immigrants. But if I think that centralizing the process with EU funding is possibly a good thing, I’m a nazi.

I never voted and never will vote for AfD but if you believe that someone from a warzone in the Middle East can simply make their way through the Balkans or North Africa and then the Mediterranean, choosing to claim asylum in a Western European country like Germany, after having passed half a dozen safe countries, where other Europeans go for a vacation, along the way, and throws away their identification papers to increase the processing duration of their asylum claim and make the possibility of a deportation is near impossible is unconditionally entitled to asylum - then we’ll forever agree to disagree.

Can’t blame them. The Euro is managed quite reasonably. I can’t speak for the Swedes but the EU only has to gain from Sweden joining the Eurozone. I’ve seen people comment here that giving up currency sovereignty is a terrible idea. But what does that mean? To me it simply means that in times of crisis, governments cannot simply order their central banks to print more fiat currency. This doesn’t seem like a great long-term policy either… but then again I’m not a full-time economist.

People need to keep in mind these are rejected asylum seekers. Their application has been processed and denied. These are not all legitimate refugees, and especially not those with an ongoing asylum application. Normally these rejected asylum seekers would be put in jail pending their deportation but due to the fact that

• we have more of them than we have free space in our jails,
• many don’t have valid papers for whatever reason and
• often come from countries that try to extort the deporting countries for taking back their own citizens

the temporary detention term (“Abschiebehaft” and “Vorbereitungshaft” in DACH countries) has simply often not been applied. Many of these rejected asylum seekers then end up absconding. It may sound harsh but Denmark has been doing these deportation hubs for many years already and they’re highly effective.
