Arte ftw

Not every country is like the us

Especially in Europe a lot of them try to better people instead of punishing them and many have special institutions for teenagers that are my like psychiatric wards than prisons

Germany and Poland should invite him to a roundtrip through the camps then

Ah

I’d guess it should send a “see how I can provide for food even without using money” kind of way?

But yeah it’s stupid

Wouldn’t it be more realistic if Barbie was also Ken? Since most catfishs are dudes going for dudes?

Or is the meme referring to something else?

If the fine is not a fixed amount but actually gets more expensive the more money you have it actually is quite nice though

Always enjoy those stories about millionaires paying some big sums for speeding tickets in Switzerland

It’s really stupid how many people are a sucker for punishment so much that they don’t care if they get it wrong a couple of times…

What happend to “Better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer”?

If you pirate stuff they can sue you to the ground but if a fine is not related to total income or wealth it’s just something to be ignored.

Can’t understand why not more people lobby for fines to be proportional in general…

I’d guess a police officer is seeing more than 50 random people a day though which makes it a daily occurrence to be in contact with people carrying which actually strengthens my point

Can’t have the already well-off children go without their steady income that they didn’t have to work for…

why else would this be one of the only countries where officers are lethally armed around the clock

Because it’s also the only country where many citizens are lethally armed around the clock I’d guess

If you stop a random person in traffic in Europe for routine control then it’s extremely unlikely that they have a gun in their car and even less likely that they will pull it on you.

If you are permanently having to think about scenarios where random people pull a gun on you because it’s not a very unlikely situation to happen then it’s not unreasonable to expect certain paranoia to start to form…

While the stats for “people killed by police” are always shown around I’d guess that the “police killed by citizens” also is much higher in the US.

Gun control is the only solution that even has a chance to remove this spiralling violence of trigger happy cops imho

No - I’m just saying that the delay in WIFI and the low framerate and small resolution of the screen makes the Steamdeck a sub-par choice for fast-paced games for me. It’s fine if you are only playing on that device but if you also have a desktop to play at it’s far worse imho

For me it’s not about fortnite but more about fast-paced multiplayer on the steam deck

When I played Rocket league on the deck instead of my Desktop with Lan, higher resolution and much higher framerate I always felt as if I’m playing much worse than I usually do which is not fun in the slightest

It’s a great console for singleplayer and more tactical multiplayer but whenever reading the screen in less than a second and reacting very fast to it in an online game is necessary that’s not great…

Yeah but afaik downloading in Germany isn’t against the law since it’s allowed to download a “backup copy” of things you actually own legally so it’s pretty much never enforced. The only way people in Germany get sued is for uploading but then a couple of bytes is already enough in many cases

My girlfriend got a legal claim for using stremio when her vpn failed which in Germany is only possible if you actively upload something so I’d say it does that

Or use adnauseam and fuck up their ad-tracking infrastructure beyond just blocking the ads

Better yet: Or use adnauseam and fuck up their ad-tracking infrastructure beyond just blocking the ads

China is not a country that gives subsidies but a corporation that invests in branches it wants to grow

I’d imagine the situation is more dire to those filmmakers and journalists that do narration as a job

Why would you need them if you can just use the voice of an AI impersonating famous speakers like this

I mean I still have my Gmail account in my mail clients - just every time I get an email on it that’s not spam I go to the account settings and change the mail account there

I haven’t gotten a mail on it in almost a year so I think I’ll unplug it and only login if needed
