Western history classes gracefully ignore things like the chinese empires, the golden ages in the arabic world (which oh so happened to be to be during the "dark ages" of Europe and saw science flourish there) and anything that happened on the american continent prior to colonialization (not like we know too much about it given the colonizers' rampages and targeted cultural destruction). Let alone African history, Indian, South-East Asia, Australia…

Same of course with religions. But watching that Martin Luther movie three times was definitely important I guess, cause it "changed the whole (!) world". I fucking hate all of this bullshit.

Sorry for the rant.

What does this relate to? Only had limited dial-up back then (it's probably some US stuff?).

To my knowledge there is no hard evidence for sexuality being primarily genetical?

Just… take them out of it first? Don't really see the problems here. A little bit of rain during shipping is no problem for the material.

How are they supposed to do that, push someone out of an airplane "for scientific purposes" to see what happens?

Naah, was just early in the morning and I didn't caught the joke.

Except water becomes incredibly hard if being hit with too much speed. If there's vegetation next to it and you're at (or close to) terminal velocity you might want to land there instead. There are confirmed cases of people surviving a fall into vegetation after their parachutes didn't open.

The most important thing about it is it's perfectly biodegradable in nature. You can throw them on your compost.

It's not like there isn't a middleground. I didn't see those awful sixpack rings in years, in Germany where I live those sixpacks are packed in cardboard (goes around the sixpack once for stability). Works perfectly fine, and given it's just paper with a little bit of printer colours (which, technically, could also be done environmentally friendly) there are little to no reasons not to do it this way except for greed. …therefore it isn't surprising plastic sixpack rings are specifically common in the US, lol.

A strong FDP hurts us as badly as the CDU/CSU does. They're equally corrupt and opportunistic. Without the nazi threat they'd arguably even be worse given the conservatives at least can be convinced into neccessary investments by now, while the FDP would "privatize" their own child. However since both parties are very close to jumping into bed with nazis there really isn't a worse one right now.

It's important for all three of those parties to be weak if we want to tackle the big problems.

In a proper democracy shit like this would lead to people voting for a party with the same values as the mayor but without the infighting. Hell, perhaps the mayor would even jump ship themself. This pressure then forces the corrupt party to either fix themselves or vanish.

In Germany we got enough parties so they can completely tank for a while for doing stupid shit, then recover organically. The Greens did that, The Left just recovered, the Libertarians… hopefully never recover. Well, except for the conservatives/right-wing 'cause old as well as pissed off people do not properly think about it anymore (conservatices just lose because old people are dying). An inherent issue with democracy you're completely at the mercy of.

A 2-Party system simply can't properly work.

That's what pacman -Syyu is for. The occasional life support failure and forced bug hunting is part of the experience.

Context: X11Libre is a fork of X11 aiming at preserving the X Server (fair enough, right?). One of the creators got permanently banned from freedesktop.org for apparently violating the Code of Conduct (no info on that, they just blame Red Hat), see themselves as hunted by both Big Tech and "toxic elements" who "took over the X11 project" They want to "make X great again".

The issue about their highly political README (which they wrote due to the original project "becoming too political", lol) also contains the usual red flags like transphobia. https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/issues/40
