Die Kurden werden die leidtragenden dieser Entwicklung sein. Das sind sie nämlich irgendwie immer. Wenn diese Milizen, die jetzt die Kontrolle über Syrien übernommen haben, wirklich von der Türkei finanziert werden, dann wird es für die Kurden immer schwerer.
If he is caught and brought before a jury of his peers, then anything might happen. Not sure they will find a jury where all of the jurors will vote to convict him even if the evidence is crystal clear. Cops knowing this as well, I wonder if the guy will not have an “accident” before they catch him.
It’s a systemic issue. This is capitalism, which exists to protect privilege of rich people. The police are just their enforcers. They serve and protect the rich, and of course their system. It is modern day feudalism. Police are the modern day bailiffs that will hit you over the head with a stick if you try to question the system. It’s not that the NYPD is not a bunch of fucked up bastards, but they are part of something much bigger, and much worse. That’s why ACAP, as it is usually meant, is insufficient. It really should be:
All Capitalists (and their minions) Are Bastards.
I had it once, and I thought it tasted like most subways smell.
We have a climate chamber ("Klima-Kammer in German) at work for testing products, and my Ukrainian coworker kept referring to it as the “camera”, I thought that was funny.
And if it’s really bad, it’d be “putain de bordelle merde”, or so I’ve been told.
My favorite anecdote revolves around the many meanings of shit, which is hardly surprising, since the way this word is used in English is in no way forthcoming to a non native speaker.
So I was sitting in this call between my company (a medium size German tech company) and a big US corporation, discussing the development of a tool that we were doing for them. The people on both sides all knew each others at least in passing, and one of the people asked if one of my collegues was in the call, too.
Them: “So, is mr. X here, too?” Us: “No, mr. X had another appointment.” Them: “Ah okay. Mr. X really is the shit.” My collegues: wait…what? did they just…? Me, to my collegues: it’s good, it’s good, it wasn’t an insult! My collegues, getting more and more aggrevated: “Did you just call mr. X ‘shit’?” Them, not understanding: “What? NO!”
The Americans did not understand what the problem was, because they did not really think about what they said and that it might not be understood the way it was meant by a non native speaker.
It took a lot of explaining from my side after the call to cool my people down. They were completely bewildered, and they could not believe that calling someone “the shit” could possibly be a compliment. Me, I had a big big laugh the entire time.
Aber das hat doch jetzt Fenster Erinnerung für alle, obwohl Kleinweich behauptet hat, dass gäbe es nur auf Kopilot-Plus-Geräten. Ist das etwa nicht ganz toll?
Dunno, where I live, it’s used a lot. Of course there are a lot of other words, and I cannot say if “Möpse” is the most commonly used term, but it is at the very least in the top five I’d say.
Die spannende Frage ist ja aber eher, ob die Parteien, mit denen sie kolieren könnten, auch so ein kurzes Gedächtnis haben. Wenn man jetzt schon liest, dass selbst aus der CDU Stimmen laut werden, dass diese FDP nicht als Koaltionspartner taugt, sollte der FDP das vielleicht zu Denken geben. Aber ja, grundsätzlich hast Du vermutlich leider recht.
Let’s just say I am glad I do not have to make that call.
Problem with that is that almost everyone who was interesting is dead. Actor wise.
What’s that about, O’Neill sitting in a fishing chair next to a pond, opening a cold one and going “yeap.”?
Didn’t the republicans have a Pee Party movement at some moment in history?
Trump base is pretty corrosive…
I’ll take “Only in America” for a hundred, Alex.
Maybe you can suggest alternative questions, maybe something involving homeopathy or reiki, or perhaps chemtrails.
Just a small reminder that Volkswagen paid out 4.5 billion euros in dividends last year.
It kind of is. the more wealth someone has, the more power they have over other people’s life. They can buy laws and regulations, or have them removed. This is never a good thing. Billionaires simply must not exist. In fact, billionaires only exist because we have so many poor people. They profit from other people’s hard labour and misery. If it was not such a historically charged term, I would call them parasites.
