No doubt I would use it as a nickname in gaming or somethink light that, but as an official for a government agency and in public/during ak interview? Hell nah, thats extremely embarassing

What kind of cringy pin has he got on his jacket “K$H”? Really? My got it really is a kindergarden kid in the body of an unfit 40 year old

“They comply by laws that limit obvious hate speach, which is why we should seperate us and segregate them [because we love hate speach as long as it is directed at the right people]”.

I only use DHL, but that’s not really much of a surprise in Germany when they’e inherited rhe infrastructure of the Deutsche Post.

I also find it rather funny how DHL is actually a major logistics player in the USA

Naja geht so. Ein juritisches Gutachten muss für und wider in allen Facetten beleuchten. Die Beauftragung einer Kanzlei zur Erstellung eines solchen Gutachtens ist keine Mandatierung (Dienstleistung), sondern eim Werkvertrag. Die Kanzlei muss also ein den Vorgaben genügendes Werk präsentieren. Da wird natürlich etwas den Geisteswissenschaften inherenter Bias enthalten sein, aber es ist eben keine Mandatierung, die Kanzlei steht nicht im Lager des Verbands.

I’ve got wine if you’ve got coin

There’s no legal right to free speach in Germany and possibly other countries in Europe as well and for a good reason. That would also include the freedom to insult others and smear their names- just to give an example.

There is however the freedom of opinion and that is without any restrictions - apart from collision with other constitutional rights. You may think whatever you like - you may not speak out all of the bs in your head or be free from repercussions of the bs you say.

As a Protestant (at least nominally) myself I feel like the current German Protestant church is pretty well positioned in their believes.

But to be clear, espescially the German protestant church has been very off the moral path when it came to past fascists as well as the stance during WW1.

American Protestants are generally very much the same kind of “believers” as the ones during WW2 - very much unlike Bonhöffers Protestant ideas. And it’s nothing surprising, most of them left Europe with the religious foundation ofnthe 18th and 19th century

Yeah that’s technically true. Practically however river water is used to cool the circulating coolant and to prevent the waterlife from dying due to heat, the power plant needs to be shut down when the river level becomes too low.

Why does the fediverse believe that everyone that does not celebrate nuclear power has no idea how it works?

And even if droughts wouldn’t have an effect, then nuclear power is still much much more expensive and only works when the government subsidizes the companies that run the plants. The conservatives try to promote nuclear power in Germany for some time now and yet all German power suppliers have said they wouldn’t even restart their nuclear program if the governement were to heavily subsidize them. And that is without having to find a place to build them and get the planning legally finished

See nuclear is one point I can never really wrap my head around who pushes for this, because the only profiting parties are nuclear fuel producers (well the big one is Russia, so maybe?). Nuclear doesn’t work well to stabilize the energy grid. It’s particularily bad in summer, when droughts drastically lower the level of the rivers (as seen in France).

Yes nuclear fuel os relatively sustainable, but factoring production cost of the plant and the mining and refinery and the picture looks worse (better than other plants, but not that much).

It’s however exorbantly more expensive and fosters a different dependance, one that cannot be substituted easily as there are few countries that have sufficient uranium, the EU for one has none.

Schwer depressive wahrscheinlich schon, aber auch Schizosphrenys und andere laufen ohne Suizidabsicht auf Gleisanlagen

This thread has been the first time I’ve ever jeard this nuclear gas nonsense, even though I am German and my mother has been anti-nuclear her entire life. But mostly for the reason of waste and knowing that people, government and companies alike, will cut corners and always find a way to create nuclear hazards.

It’s PR no doubt, but they’ve been promoting that for some time now without reports that indicate otherwise, which make me believe it’s true. And yes it’s only for long-distance trains

It is, it’s in the thousands, but that is magnitudes less than domestic cats kill.

NABU Germany believes that about 100k birdes die annually to wind turbines, compared to 60 million to cats, 70 million to cars and trains and 108 million to window panes

Rather than that, it’s a veiled NIMBY argument. They don’t care that nuclear, gas or coal power plants look uglier - they would if they would stand in their backyard.

They similarily don’t really care about the optics of wind turbines, but they are afraid of javing them in their backyard, which is much more likely than a power plant if you don’t live near a river

Well that honour belongs to the US

Arrgh how I hate German dependance in the area of missiles. We can’t get away from the US anytime soon, but now Israel fostered dependance with the Skyhield/Arrow system as well. Fckn great
