Not to be thát person, but Archduke Franz Ferdinand was not a Serb, he was Austrian. Even though Austria-Hungary did annex Bosnia and Herzegovina in the late 19th century, Franz Ferdinand was not born there - in fact he was born before the annexation.
Unless you mean his killer, but then your wording is a little off and I would say “murder BY a Serbian.” Even so, the ethnicity of the murderer wasn’t really as important as his target. ;)
Yeah seriously. Whenever I do a late or a night shift, this guy will think I’m a leeching immigrant. Or maybe he won’t, because my skin isn’t the right color for that?
Besides, I’m from the Netherlands and I’ve known more native “leechers” than immigrant ones.
I do argue that.
I argue that the people who voted for him REALLY wanted him in office and the people who couldn’t be bothered to vote at all were fine with any outcome, including Trump getting into office. So they may not be rabid supporters or active voters, but yes, they do support and enable him.
You know, people often think that not picking a side is some enlightened choice, that by doing nothing you’re actually doing nothing. But nothing is farther from the truth. Doing nothing IS a choice. It’s a choice to stay quiet and silently accept evil. It’s a choice to stay quiet in the face of injustice, it’s a choice to NOT help the victim. Staying neutral always helps the bully.
And we all know this. We learned this in kindergarten. Staying quiet always helps the bully. We knew this as kids, we witnessed it. Nobody gets to pretend they don’t understand this dynamic as a grown-up. It is a choice and they made it.
Yes, you can. When you can’t get off your ass to vote, then you’re basically saying that you’re fine with whatever happens. In this case risking fascism, which apparently was good enough for them.
By not voting, you’re enabling whoever wins.
Ah a registry to track undesirables. Jesus fucking christ.
You know if you allow this, they’ll expand it to other groups as well, right? I am constantly amazed that full-blown riots haven’t started. Peaceful protesting isn’t doing it, you guys.
Unless of course you’re all just very excited for those arm tattoos.
English, German, French, Dutch, Finnish.
With a bit of effort I might get pretty close in Spanish or Latin, but I’d probably make some mistakes, so that doesn’t count.
Yeah, it’s been that way for decades. You just empty the jar/bag into the machine and it sorts/counts everything automatically, and then you can transfer the amount to your bank account.
When I was a kid I used to love this. We’d go sell stuff at flea markets and then take the bag of coins to the bank. Watch number go up, yay.
600k? You dropped some zeros there. It’s $600,000,000.
He’d have to go a lot higher than 10k p.p. to even make them consider it, so that’d be billions. Luckily he has millions of tax payers who can fund his little obsession!
Only things like airport security, or when going to music festivals or other events, they’ll (sometimes) check you for weapons.
Lived in 4 different countries in the past decade, all in the EU.
Oh that’s a good one, yes. It’s something that costs you time and you get absolutely nothing in return.
Another one would be how they leave their (public) toilets behind. “That’s what cleaners are paid for.” No fuck off. – Though of course this one would be a little harder to actually witness. ;)
I’m very intolerant of behavior that tells me type of people they are. For example throwing garbage on the floor, or being unkind to serving staff, or something like that. Red flags for sure.
And of course there’s the obvious stuff that is an instant deal breaker, like bigotry, being anti-vax, hating cats (or animals in general), right-wing politics, etc.
Yeah, don’t worry, I get it. Just thought I’d give a possible explanation. ;)
Seems to me this person might be German (considering the username as well) and used the German word by accident.
You do if you’re from a country that doesn’t allow dual citizenship. I mean, it’s not a requirement on the U.S. side, but still.
I just can’t imagine how hopeless these people must feel. It’s a fucking nightmare. You’re accused of something you haven’t done (not that anyone deserves this, even if they are criminals), there’s no way for you to even make anyone listen to you and you’re dumped in a prison in a foreign country with no hope of ever getting out? It’s just… jesus christ, the injustice of it all is simply heartbreaking.
To think that millions of people are actually cheering for this is terrifying. If I were American, I’d be terrified. If “illegals” can’t have due process, then nobody has due process, because how are you going to prove you’re a citizen without due process? They can literally grab you off the street and send you to a concentration camp and there’s nothing you can do about it, because all they have to do is claim you’re illegal.
I honestly don’t understand how all these people in power are even still alive.
You know what? I understand the feeling. But then I realize that the poor guy waiting for a kidney is really not to blame for how fucked up society is.
Have to admit I know basically nothing about vultures. Can’t say I’m surprised that another (sub?)species goes extinct due to humans. We seem to be very good at that.
No, it’s actually the truth. You can’t imagine how many people share the sentiment that corpses > living people. I wasn’t being disingenuous, I’ve heard it so many times.
It’s a free world, you believe what you believe.
Edit: not sure what you mean with living in a vacuum? What I believe is that it’s a binary choice. You either choose to potentially help someone by being a donor or you don’t.
Sure, that’s fine. To each their own. Not the first time I’ve heard that prioritizing the living over the dead is ignorant.
F.E.A.R. has such good enemy AI. It’s an amazing shooter.
Still, I’ve only ever played it once, because I’m a big wuss and scary is not my thing, I just can’t do it again. Alma is fucking creepy and the entire atmosphere gives me nightmares.
But yeah, for anyone who enjoys shooters, F.E.A.R. is a great one.
