  • What's your country's version of the blue/green bubble?

    Jump

  • Wow, this is so quaint! I totally love this, thank you for explaining.And I will now make sure to use the correct pronunciation during my next visit to the Isles (hopefully next year...)!

    Is there a word for "Yess but no"?

    Jump

  • When sticking to German I would rather suggest a slightly bored mumbeld "Jooaa..."

    Jein is different.

  • A very loud (i.e. present in social and normal media) but in my everyday life almost none-existent group of people.They seem to have migrated from Diesel-against-Greta-"Empörung" (is there an English word for that?) to Corona-deniers and now to fighters in self-proclaimed cultural wars against green topics and a tolerant society. All sprinkled with some deep right-wing views.Might be different in other parts of Germany though, my sample is mainly taken from Bavaria and south-western Germany.I personally know of only two families leaning into Schwurbler-views - out of hundreds of chilled ones. One of these actually drives a Pickup. But also owns a house with a solar roof... so... well.

    You live abroad now?

  • Care to elaborate for non-British/Irish people?

    Jump

  • Has it ever been?I mean, outside of some mostly right-wing bubbles that are trying to exaggerate it as some kind of oppression symbol in a cultural war that happens mainly in their heads?

    Most people I know treat the topic from a rather rational perspective regarding the pros and cons of EVs in their specific situations.

  • I am from Germany and what brand of car your are driving is often seen as a statement, often associated with a certain social group.Although I have observed that this has been constantly diminishing over the years.

  • What is the devil's weakness?

    Jump

  • Just vague enough to not directly violate Rule 6 of this sub ;-)

  • Following what I have learned during my Catholic upbringing:

    Spearfighting.

    One of the neighbouring churches we went to was named after St. Michael and has this totally kick-ass statue on the side altar showing St. Michael stabbing the evil devil/dragon thing with his spear.

    Apart from that, almost all Christians where I live don't believe in Satan as an actual entity, but more as a helpful symbol to illustrate the abstract concept of evil.

    Church in my region generally revolves more around the positive compassionate concept of "Be nice to each other" than relying on a supernatural bogeyman that tries to lay you traps.

  • Supreme Court to decide if ICE can arrest based on "apparent ethnicity"

  • Guys, that is a reeaaaallly slippery slope. Don't. Just don't.

  • Angry Metal Guy Speaks: On Spotify

    Jump

  • Yeah, Spotify sucks for many reasons, the ones mentioned not being the least.

    Some while ago I returned back to classic MP3 radio streams, grey-area streaming workarounds and occasionally sailing the high seas again.And instead of throwing my money at Spotify (which then doesn't give it to the artists I listen to), I make sure to support the bands directly.Go to concerts, buy merch, support promising projects on e.g. Startnext.

    Win-Win-Win-scenario:I get my music, artists get more money, and the creedy corporate music structures around Spotify are not supported any more.

  • Meta just suspended the Facebook account of Neal Stephenson

    Jump

  • I also guess that no human being has been involved in suspending the account, just common-sense-lacking AIs doing automated tasks and classifying people as imposters of themselves. Might be the beginning of some really Kafka-level stuff for Neal trying to set that right again, depending on the mood of the complaint-processing AIs... :-)

  • Meta just suspended the Facebook account of Neal Stephenson

    Jump

  • This is at the same time hilarious and puzzling. I mean, Meta has urged users to use their real name for years and Neil does just that and gets apparently shut down now because he not only acts as himself but is named as himself on top of that!!1!
