I like to mention it often, but in Germany state run water companies run self-sufficient and even make money to invest in keeping the infrastructure alive. In my city we have a water loss of less than 2% due to well maintained pipes. Thames Water is losing like 25%!
I still can’t believe how this company got to grift the British people in broad daylight and is now asking for more to grift and government in charge still wants more of this.
The grift is so unreal.
Hamburg Wasser made a profit of almost 100 million Euro in 2022 and since it’s owned by the state of Hamburg it didn’t shit that profit out to shareholders, but invested it into the infrastructure.
And the Tories are still reluctant to nationalise this vital service that has nothing to do in the “free” market.
Yeah, it’s nothing like John Wick, unless John Wick just stands for someone shoots guns, which is hardly specific.
I’d say a more proper comparison would be a brighter Gunslinger Girls.
I also liked that it doesn’t say that all followers of an ideology are good or bad people. A lot of media that tries to tackle ideologies just make everyone in the general direction of an opposing ideology horrible people. In Disco Elysium is not as black and white. There are good and bad people in every broad ideology. Are you a bad person, just because you believe in capitalism? No. Are you a good person, just because you believe in communism? Also no. Disco Elysium is very nuanced while making it’s cases.
Also, Ted Cruz would be a domestic catastrophe that fills his and hid mates pockets with the money of others, but he would not be an instable insane nuke, ready to blow up something on a whim.
This is where we are right now.

What a time to be alive to see millions of people getting starved to death live while world leaders applaud and call it defense.
Yeah, it’s one of those polarizing issues, where people on both sides decide that any opinion is binary and you either are all in for Israel or all in for Palestina and you can’t have any empathy or understanding for both sides.
These past days people yelled at me in the fediverse that I chill for Israel’s illegal occuption and also that I chill for Hamas and blame their atrocities on Israel. It’s insane. You can hardly have any other opinion than either Israel all bad or Palestine all bad.
It’s disgusting how many people on both sides support slaughtering civilians of the other side while at the same time saying that the other side are monsters for slaughtering civilians.
Woke: NATO tanks
Very literally broke: Russian tanks
This is the last straw. I already was very shakey with all the restrictions that were piling up, but this is just one thing too much. Cancelling my subscription and installing jellyfin.
The issue with the CDU/CSU is that they already made steps towards the AFD after the party passed 20%. Remember, the conservatives in the Weimar Republic supported the Nazis, not because they liked them, but because they thought they could puppeteer them, get rid of the communists and socialists and then zhrowing them away and come out on top.
I am afraid that the current conservatives have similair thoughts when it comes to the AFD.
Though it’s coming. The question will be of it stays. Current government is in dire straits in the polls. This might only live one or two years until the next government culls it, given that the conservatives are rising again.
“I have a suprise for you!”
“What is it?”
“Grandma is dead!”
“What?!”
“See! You’re surprised!”
If only Firefox would have a bigger userbase. I still use it, but the vast majority of people is on Chromium.
It was a whole bunch of that.
Remilitarization of the Rhineland.
Anschluß of Austria.
The Sudetenland.
The actual invasion of Czechoslovakia.
Nazi Germany really pulled “whatcha gonna do about this, bitch?” and got away with it for a surprisingly long time.
