Thank you

Do you really think “didn’t want to have sex” is the important part in the story of Narcissus?

What does it mean if it’s considered a lemon?

German Law is very sane in regards to voting rights.

§ 13 of the German Federal Election Act (BWG) stipulates that only who is disenfranchised as a result of a judge’s decision is excluded from the right to vote.

This provision does not conflict with the general principle of equality in Article 3 of the Basic Law (Grundgesetz - GG) and the principles of equality and universality of the vote, because the right to vote is not automatically revoked, but may only be revoked by a judge’s ruling if certain legal requirements are met.

However, this exclusion as a result of a German court ruling is only possible in a few cases expressly mentioned in the Criminal Code (StGB) and the Federal Constitutional Court Act (BVerfGG) and applies for a maximum of two to five years. Exclusion from the right to vote applies if a person has been sentenced to at least six months or at least one year in prison for the following offenses, for example:

• Preparation of a war of aggression and high treason against the Federation
• Treason and disclosure of state secrets
• Attack against organs and representatives of foreign states
• Obstruction of elections and falsification of election documents
• Bribery of members of parliament
• acts of sabotage of means of defense or intelligence service endangering security (in this case, a prison sentence of at least one year is required).

In these cases, the deprivation of the right to vote is at the discretion of the court in accordance with the special criminal law provisions and is not an automatic consequence of the conviction for these criminal offenses.

Furthermore, the right to vote can be revoked by the Federal Constitutional Court due to the violation of fundamental rights.

The disenfranchisement from voting is btw. also the foundation that makes one ineligible to be elected.

According to the Federal Election Act, anyone who has German citizenship and is of legal age on the day of the election is electable. This does not apply to those who:

• have lost the right to vote and therefore their eligibility to be elected as a result of a court ruling or no longer have the capacity to hold public office
• is permanently dependent on a statutory caregiver / guardian
• or is in a psychiatric hospital due to a conviction

Hell yeah!

It’s three fedoras, looked at from the top!

Thank you for making me look, but fuck you for not telling me, it took ages of staring at my screen before I got what was actually depicted.

Nice interrobang!

You could also “meet” it or “wrestle through to” it.

Assuming single with no kids, you’d get:

Gross 60.000,00 €

Net 37.209,78 €

Taxes 11.262,97 € (includes 929,97 € church-tax that you can get rid off by leaving your church)

Pension insurance 5.580,00 €

Unemployment insurance 780,00 €

Health insurance 4.847,85 €

Long-term care insurance 1.249,37 €

Those are all the compulsory insurances.

Having a partner in marriage who earns less than you and / or children will increase your net.

For the average German in your average City that’s somewhere between just short of wealthy and wealthy. There are poorly paid IT specialists who earn gross what you would take home net. It’s definitely enough that you can live quite good if your significant other works too and more than enough to raise a family. The median household income in Germany is 42k gross.

Also remember this is only the employee side of what you cost your employer, because they’ll have to double up your insurances, so you would cost them 75k a year.

Every. Single. Day.

My cars bluetooth is broken, so I connect my phone via headphone jack. This way I can still use my cars speakers and mic to receive phone calls and listen to music or audiobooks on my one hour drive to work.

I also despise bluetooth headphones. My phones batteries last longer since I don’t use bluetooth anymore and I can’t be bothered to not lose them and always have them charged when I want to use them.

With my good wired Bose headphones I pay a third of what the wireless crap would cost, have better sound and they are always ready, easily to take care of and at worst slightly tangled from being crammed into a jeans pocket.

I donated 266€ (250 plus me covering fees) and I don’t like how my money is used.

Yeah well, one can be anti-oppression and anti-apartheid as well as anti-terror, anti-killing-civilians, anti-bombing-hospitals, anti-using-civilians-as-shields, anti-hostage-taking and anti-warcrimes.

The israeli Government is not the only one with blood on their hands and while nothing can excuse what the IDF is doing, nothing can excuse what HAMAS is doing too.

Both sides fucking suck, the only difference I can see is that HAMAS is bad for Israelis and Palestinians moreso than the Israeli Government is also bad for Israelis.

Who could have known that traditional manufacturers who have been building cars for decades have reasons to do it the way they did?

Surely not the man who reinvented the subway (but shitty) reinvented content moderation (but shitty) and reinvented the car (but shitty).

How come “normal” Teslas with traditional coachwork are selling, well not great, but good and every time Musk thinks he’s the genius who’ll singlehandedly completely reinvent a very competitive product he just creates a worse version?

Wouldn’t Mastodon have the same legal requirements?
