Halt mein Bier

Ok yeah that’s a different story, also the prices for passport and passport ID for first issues are ridiculous, that is twice as much as I’d have to pay to have my passport-issuing expedited, which I already find ridiculous. First issuing is done when you are mandated to be able to present an ID, i.e. at 14, and it’s free of charge as far as I can remember, everything after is a renewal. Having to register to vote is in and of itself, the self-proclaimed origin and beacon of democracy is an opt-in democracy which throws logs in your way to hinder you from voting apparently.

Voting by mail is also much simpler here, you just apply, a few weeks later you get the forms, no reason required - it is your constitutional right to vote after all.

And in any case, voting is always on a Sunday, which is always a mandatory holiday, most of the population doesn’t work that day. Hours are the same though. And I believe that all the IDs you have listed besides an actual ID and a passport are not enough to vote here. I am not sure if election papers are translated, but since the communal elections are the only ones open to non-Germans i.e. EU-citizens that live here, and speaking German is mandatory to get a citizenship, that is not that mich of an issue. Frankly speaking, while I see the point you raise, nowadays with camera translations, that is generally not that much of a hurdle.

Polling stations reflect the election areas, whereas each one represents one distinct area. They are directly linked to the population density.

The thing I tried pointing out is that there’s barely any difference between Germany and USA when it comes to IDs, they may have a different name but do the same thing, except for air travel, you’ll need an actual ID or passport for that. And you have to pay for most of them.

The only thing that is different is that you don’t habe a voter’s ID here, you vote by showing your voting invitation that is sent to registered Adress automatically and verifying your identity by presenting your ID or passport. The idea that you have to pay for voting is inherently idiotic, it is counter-logical

Du hast den Radiowecker vergessen, der konsequent von den Großeltern überhört wird, obwohl er aus unerklärlichen Gründen um 2 Uhr Nachts anfängt Schlager-Radiosender zu spielen. Bei allem was mir heilig ist, dieses fünfmalige piepen vor den Nachrichten bei der ARD-Nachtschalte aaarrgh

That is exactly the same as an I.D. in Germany for example

Since food is just what you eat, anything can be food even though it is utterly disgusting

Right the resistance forces that generally like to resist more by blowing up civilians than soldiers.

As for the 2nd part, my man this is noncredible defense, it is literally the raison d’être to laugh about weird shit that is happening in armed conflicts. It is partly a coping mechanism and partly ridicule.

As for laughing at civilian casualties, you’ve inferred that into the meme, it was bot even hinted at.

The pilot is the modern knight, the plane its steed. The analogy is pretty straightforward

Das ist zwar richtig, aber das würde voraussetzen, dass der SCOTUS koherent urteilt und ich habe kein Vertrauen darin, dass die Richter dies tun.

I am entirely aware, just saying that a country, that went through what you are hopefully not going to experience, has measures for what you’re so actively trying to villainise.

We’ve measures to limit free speech, but we do not like many democracies in the world have a concept of free speech. We have a right to a free opinion. You are allowed to think and believe what you want. But your are not allowed to say things that can or will limit the constitutional rights of others or that of the fundamental constitutional principles. Therefor you’re not allowed to insult someone, as that is an assault on their dignity. The legitimacy and sovereignty of Isreal and of the jewish people is founding principle of the constitution hence its defense through the criminal code. But to make matters clear, I have yet to hear of any courtly proceedings regarding the opinions on the Gaza-matter. As for the unjustified shutdown of protests in relation to that, courts have already overruled those and there have been quite a few protests on the way Israel is fighting in Palestine. Do grant us a bit more leeway though as it is a bit more complicated to criticise Israel for German politicians

Allerdings steht bislang eine Entscheidung über die Definition von “offizielle Amtshandlung” aus, worüber der SCOTUS entscheidet. Insofern kann der im Zweifel die Definition auch komplett willfährig legen, wenn Biden seine Macht ausnutzt

Art. 20 IV of the German constitution roughly: “the democracy is armed. Any citizen has the right to defend it if so necessary”

I am not American, but let me ask you one thing, is it worth it to take your stand in this election to rest your case in the fact that your vest stays clean - even if this is the last vote that you get?

Because what I can see is that that’s precisely what happened in the Weimar years. People could not fully identify with one party so they made their own slightly different one. The only ones however to rarely actually care about policies are the fascists/nazis/right-wingers

You can identify as swiss cheese though

At least a good taste in Vodka

Not that I have any actual idea, but I recon any shell fired at that distance and that flimsy a target wouldn’t even lite the fuse.

Also this was recorded at the annual day of the Bundeswehr, basically a promotional event to get people to join the armed forces. Not sure if pointing you’re 120mm barrel at their face does the job, but I was in the navy, so what do I know

What the f*** is this? Where’s my TÜV? This is even a German license plate, what the third-world-hell is going on here

While that is true, there has been quite the effort to make a test that can actually show the lower end of the intelligence spectrum. And no matter how or what you test, 17 IQ is in the range of severe cognitive disability, i.e. the equivalent of the knowledge and ability of a 3 year old.

What about Sturmabteilung then?

No no my man suicide is a sin. You’re supposed to vegetate and suffer in undignified misery until you finally die -just as God has intended for your life to be
