That’s Landolf Ladig umm Mister Höcke for you.

Edit: I just realized that might need some explanation: https://jurios-de.translate.goog/2021/06/16/wer-ist-landolf-ladig-afd-landeschef-bjoern-hoecke-verklagt/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp

After all, who is better at whitewashing than Nazis?

My first though was sunken cost phallacy, but then again maybe it’s in the nature of authority-obiding jobs to attract people who, well, would love to live in an authoritarian regime. Life is simple and structured this way.

Don’t really like it though as it is a bs expression used by employers to discredit workers that do exactly what they were employed for and don’t gift the employer their free time. You know, just like most employers don’t do anything but to pay you the bare minimum that they can get away with all while expecting you to hand out gifts to them.

Quiting

I read thas as quieting, as in quiet quitting

ba dumm tss.

You’re completely leaving out why they are doing this and that the €XU are the ones trying to fish votes from far right by doing exactly the same thing: Taking the far right talking points as their own and making a policy trying to “fix” those issues. So then SPD is trying to fish votes from right next to them and become more rightwing themselves. Etc. In the end there is no real left wing party anymore, just dumb Putin worshippers and guess who wins? Still the far right, and everybody is like: How could this have been prevented? My point being: All the established parties play the same game not realizing that if you play by the far rights rules you cannot win at all. It’s not at all unique to the current government.

My all time favourite is Lord of war. Perfect song, nice way to show the bullet production and then in the end when it hits its target… Could not imagine a better opening to this movie. Especially once you get to know that it is based on some real russian arms dealer.

In bavaria they made exactly this. You have a “Vorzugsgebiet” (loosely translated area of favourited power accumulation) for either wind or solar. Some people then had the outrageous idea of setting up a wind turbine in the middle of a solar park. Guess what happened? It wasn’t approved because it was only allowed to build a solar park there. You can’t make this stuff up. That’s German bureaucracy for you.

I used Der Spiegel as it is the first big reputable newspaper reporting on this. Haven’t found an English source yet. I have all trackers blocked through noscript and am on mobile, so don’t really know if this is better, but here’s an alternative link: https://www-aerzteblatt-de.translate.goog/nachrichten/149595/Aorta-als-eigenstaendiges-Organ-eingestuft?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp

Thank you!

Ah, thanks!

Could you please explain the joke to a non native English speaker?

You honestly think anybody would be working those hours if they don’t even own anything? Also, if the state did what they do, employ a whole lot of foreign people and pay them way below the minimum wage, the outcry would be extreme. The state needs this to be private, otherwise it would be way more expensive.

Yeah I’m an SW engineer and my job is 30% coding max. Equal part is requirements engineering (so translate sys reqs to sw reqs, ensure traceability and such), static code analysis and dev tests plus 10% change management. The last part is the most interesting part as this includes analysis of feasabilty, risk and impact assessment as well as proposing/reviewing sys reqs for new or existing features. Glad I’m not a sys dev though as they don’t get to code at all.
