So Germany didn’t have dictator oppression in the 30s and 40s? You think we didn’t have propaganda and we didn’t just kill people for another opinion? And we had access to outside information?

I’m talking about a moral duty to oppose, to inform yourself in spite of all that. And I know it is not easy. We Germans failed that miserably.

The plabook Putin is playing, we’ve been through it and it is was what lead to WW2.

No, not all Russians are evil and deserve to die. But closing your eyes and playing oblivious to what’s happening out there, just believing the state propaganda and living in a position “oh it’s just the bad leader” is not a morally OK position.

If there is a dictator in your country you have some moral duty to find out at least a bit about the truth.

How do I know?

I’m German.

My grandparent’s generation was the one that actively closed their eyes, that actively looked away, that everything that happend was someone else’s problem. They were the Generation that arranged themselves, that did good business as long as it wasn’t them that were deported, killed or fought at in the war.

This is not a position that is morally OK, but this is what I see of a lot of Russians. Not all, but a lot.

Hab mal bei der Polizei angerufen, ob die sich für ne Android Malware interessieren, die sich mein minderjähriger Sohn eingefangen hatte.

Der Polizist am Telefon hat mich gefragt, ob wir das Handy meines Sohnes die nächsten 6 Monate brauchen, falls es Beweismittel wird.

Hab mich dann dagegen entschieden… Factory Reset

Angenommen es wäre so und er hätte nix gewusst - auch das war würde ihn untragbar machen, in diesem Falle wegen Dummheit und Unfähigkeit.

Ich hab ehrlich gesagt noch nicht mal verstanden, was Du mit diesen vielen Worten sagen willst.

Oh, so you think things are less insane here in EU? Ha!

I’m hungry.

What, are you telling me the posts in this community are fake news?

Staplerfahrer Klaus, a real classic. I even have it on DVD somewhere.

Einer meiner ersten Jobs war Softwareentwicklung als Werkstudent bei Siemens. Was die festen Mitarbeiter da an Büromaterial raus geschleppt haben war unglaublich. Frage mich heute noch, warum jeder von denen nen Profi Leitz Locher gebraucht hat, mit dem man 1cm dicke Papierstapel auf ein mal lochen kann.

Heh, fortunately one pair of shoes in my shoe collection aren’t purple. They are a dark fuchsia. So I’m not gay.

I’m disappointed you didn’t reset the trip counter 69 miles ago.

IIRC they need to fly the cold war jets like this - below radar - as their electronic capabilities are too bad, so a more modern russian jet could launch a missile at them just before the old Ukrainian jet sees a threat.

That is one of the reasons Ukraine urgently needs more modern material like enough numbers of F-16. While also being not the most modern jets those at least have some decent radar capabilities and can also be used as interceptors for air defense.

No no, not the comfy chair!

Did you get a raise?

I had this happen a lot, then I was zapping around the TV aimlessly for hours.

It turned out I was out of energy. Mental battery empty.

One of the biggest changes was - I trained myself to have rest days where I do “nothing” every week (that is “nothing which taxes me. mentally”, so also no meeting with friends or so). As long as I have enough energy left, I can compensate for a lot of stuff - so I make sure I have enough energy. (Playing on the console is fine, watching TV is fine, cooking is relaxing me, even doing a limited number of chores)

Those undestimulated days are rare now, compared to 4 years ago.
