Source? In Germany at least that’s not the case, it’s mainly the conservatives who push for it. In the original vote, only the greens clearly opposed it. Later on, SPD (center-left) and FDP (liberal) changed course to also oppose it. Couldn’t find results for other countries though, so I’m genuinely curious.

Either way they can just give it a new name and change some details to propose it again. Like how they made it “voluntary” this time (but you can only send text if you don’t agree).

Nice. I guess they didn’t expect to get a majority to support it anymore. Definitely a win for now, but I’m sure they’ll try again.

Reading online comments and reading a book might technically be the same action, but trust me it’s really not comparable. Books are also a great way to practice English. It’s basically how I got to my level despite never having studied for tests.

Pirating books on a Kindle is trivial as well.

Some things I do:

• Read a book
• Learn/practice a language
• Go cycling or hiking through nature
• Take the train to a city or town I haven’t been to before and explore

My uncle preordered the Fisker Ocean. He said it was the worst car he ever had and returned it within a week or so. So yeah, not surprised.

Vegetarian here. It’s not something I’d personally buy or use in meals, as I don’t really have the desire to eat meat. That said, if it happened to be in a dish I really want to try at a restaurant, sure I’d eat it.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a book series getting so many adaptations in such a short time.

regular capturing of neonazis in society.

Right, fascist countries are well known for prosecuting and imprisoning neonazis after all. That makes total sense…

Russia is geopolitically communist, even if its economy is not.

This is getting comedic at this point. I’d suggest reading some Marx and learning about the basic definition of communism before making a fool of yourself online.

That makes both of us wrong then.

How?

Because you have an agenda.

While you’re clearly a very neutral, balanced person, going through a thread on India insulting people and posting images of nazi Germany.

It’s pretty telling that you think these pictures would be triggering to me. I’m not a nationalist, I have no problem saying that the nazi regime was horrifying. I have no issue saying that the current government unconditionally supporting Israel is a bad thing either. I’d never pretend the place I live in is the best place ever, or morally superior. Can you do the same?

The communist party of Russia is a minority party in opposition, it’s not governing at all. That’s United Russia, which holds over 70% of the seats of parliament. United Russia is not communist. You’re very confidently incorrect here.

anti-communist propaganda about Russia

Anti-Communist? Russia has been a capitalist country since 1989, they’re not even claiming to be communist.

Well, it’s not like you’re willing to cut ties with the West and align yourself with Russia either. Instead you’re trying to thread the middle ground by keeping your head down and keeping up trade with both. You’re not taking a stance, which is exactly why you’re not a political world leader.

• Biggest democracy in the world
• Wouldn’t consider it a world leader, to me it often seems more like they refuse to take a clear stance in world affairs, so they can continue positive relations with authoritarian countries like Russia
• Rapid development, but still a lot of extreme poverty and inequality
• Chaotic cities
• Great food, especially for vegetarians like me
• Religious extremism/conflicts seem prevalent

PCs. Gaming laptops kinda suck IMO, especially their cooling. They also can’t really be upgraded and are much more expensive for the performance. For mobile PC gaming I much prefer a Steam Deck.

There have been many times in history when things have been far worse, so no, it’s not the worst. But many things are in decline right now. Democracy, digital privacy, trustworthiness of information, global peace, climate, the environment… humanity has to get back on track soon or the future looks pretty grim.

I’m not impressed by this. Doesn’t seem like much of an RPG anymore, but like a generic action game with thin slices of RPG elements at best. I don’t mind the game not being open world, but the levels shown seem to effectively be linear corridors without any variety in how to approach a situation.
