Yes, this was quite nice. Even if we just agree to disagree on some topics.

I’m also a mail voter, so the decision was already made a week ago. And yeah, I’m counting on the FDP not making it to 5%, toi toi toi.

By all means, vote for die Linke in state elections and smaller. But I just can’t do it in federal election. I’m hoping for Black/Green, maybe Black/Green/Red with Greens as second biggest? Probably not. But yeah, those are low goals.

I have thought about that a bit. I guess we just have different priorities.

The only party that has a working concept for this and who will not be able to stop the weapons supply for ukraine anyway

They also won’t be able to implement their concept as the smallest partner in a 3 way coallition. If they could, they’d also be able to influence decisions on weapon deliveries. But they really can’t do either, so what would be the point voting for them?

the ones trying to go against human rights by illegally reimplementing border controls and push refugees out of the country?

Well, sadly that is all the other partie right now … it sucks, yeah.

I’m quite pro immigration, I’m really quite tired of the constant fearmongering with the car and knife attacks. But at the end of the day the issue isn’t as important to me as having a solid foreign policy right now. But I absolutly hated this election. Choose between the giant douche and the turd sandwich …

• The EU and the federal government must launch diplomatic initiatives to break out of the logic of war and escalation.

• Ceasefire negotiations must begin under the auspices of the United Nations.

But the reality is that Russia currently is not willing to negotiate under any reasonable terms, so that is all just pointless posturing. Diplomatic channels have been open the entire time.

Not sending weapons is just helping Russia to get into a position where they can force negotiations with their demands on us. So yeah, I think calling them “pro Ukraine” is misinformation.

I don’t believe that most Die Linke members are activily pro Russian. But their views on foreign policy is so idealistic it’s just naive and completely disconnected from reality. And throwing another country under the bus for your naive idealism is definitely not being “pro” that country.

The most important part for me is stopping the insanity of xenophobia and perverse profits.

For me it is stopping Russia.

Those are at the heart of our issues. Both the ukraine war and the other issues we currently have are directly caused by people with certain traits trying to gain ever more power. Be it Putin, Besos, Weidel, Merz, Musk, Trump and so on. We need to stop the massive increase of cost of living and instead increase the living wage.

Those are factors. But the situation with Russia also has deep geopolitical roots that go beyond just xenophobia and wealth inequality. But yeah, those are also problems that need solving. Though even if those were magically solved in Germany by the next election, that wouldn’t stop Russia right now. This is not a situation where we have time so solve some root cause globally.

And I think, domestically, die Linke has a very good policies. If they did 180 their foreign policy I’d vote for them in heartbeat. But as it is, they are federally unelectable and any possible coallition with them must be prevented.

I do agree that giving russia anything FROM Ukraine to make them Stop is not an option in my book.

Well, then the only other option is sending support in any form. Because Russia will demand things from Ukraine unless they are in a position were they can’t.

Yeah, I’m not worried as anyone with the slightest clue of German politics knows that your claim is the unsubstantiate one.

Die Linke only gives lipservice to Ukraine’s right of self-defense while it has consistently denoucned weapon exports to Ukraine, like here when they demanded we don’t send any tanks. And that’s just one example of their questionable positions.

So stop spreading misinformation, k?

This is misinformation. Die linke is pro ukraine and wants to broker a deal with them at the table to get them peace instead of more death.

No, you are spreading misinformation. They indeed want peace … the same way Trump does. By appeaseing and making conessions to Russia.

I’ve tried … was not impressed.

Hemorrhoid are super common, like 50% of people will get them eventually. It’s nothing to be embarrassed about.

I guess you can continue waiting, but I bet eventually the pain will beat out the embarrassment. Why not shorten the ordeal?

My phone is basically a mp3 player that can do 2FA. And of course for for communicating while traveling, though often enough the phone is only there to provide the hotspot.

But other than that, I’ll use the laptop whenever possible.

Well, I’ve been listing to her for about 22 years and she’s still in my playlist. So I guess I like her music well enough.

Yeah, ANC quality can vary a lot and generally it’s even worse for earbuds.

I have a pair of Bose QC Ultra headphones which have amazing ANC.

A few month back there was a constuction site across the street. At one point I felt my desk vibrating, so I took of my headphones … only then did I realised they were using a jackhammer.

but her audiologist believes the overuse of noise-cancelling headphones, which Sophie wears for up to five hours a day, could have a part to play.

Me, wearing my noise-cancelling headphones for 10+ hours a day …

No photos? Mate … there is a livestream.

it was showing the name on the server as the long name with details instead of just the movie name.

Yea, sounds it couldn’t match the movie. But in my expirence that rarley happens and I only rename files when a matching issue occures.

I’ve tried seeding the renamed files through the torrent but it seems since the movie names didn’t match it would start trying to download again

Another option would be to create a hardlink from the torrent folder to your library folder. That way you can have two completely independent filenames.

Why are you renaming it in the first place? You’re not even adding any new info (like the release date to the title) so why bother?

Its not really that tedious but its more so If im wanting to seed files again later, I would need the file names to match exactly.

Not sure about your torrent client but renaming a file in my client (Transmission) doesn’t prevent it from being seeded.

I don’t really need silence to read, but I much prefer it.

Getting really good noise cancelling headphones was one of my best qol improvement in the last years. I often wear them without even listing to anything.

I think x/twitter is pretty accommodating of unhinged psychopaths. You should fit right in!

16% on Rotten Tomatoes.

That crictic rating though, that’s a useless measure. And 44% audience score isn’t that bad.

Yup.

“alpha males” are transgender.

According to you he is transgender and he’s very obviously an activist for that kind of identity. So that’s very much a logicial association (based on your horseshit premise).
