Seems to be a variation of the plot of Moon (2009)

Is there any way to liberate existing ebooks now that Amazon has pulled the plug on downloading? An unfortunate friend of mine has “bought" Books from Amazon for thousands of euros and he just now finds out that he doesn't seem to own them. I'd help him free his books if there is a possibility.

It could be that the Nazis recruited some black people abroad, like you said in legions, as mercenaries or in colonies to do the dirty work for them, but they never ever would have given them high ranking titles due to their fucked up race ideology.

No, there were none. Where do you get your history knowledge? From anime?

That's the way the EU itself was formed as well. It started as "European Economic Community" or "European Common Market". It was then transformed to "European Community" and finally to "European Union". Those Agreements go stepwise this is what could happen here

I think the most important part to understand with lemmy is that the choice of server doesn't matter that much because you can read and post on all the other servers as well. Unless you choose hexbear or whatever it is called these days. :)

But it really is a problem when people can't be bothered to choose from more than exactly one. I mean if you can make a selection from several different brands of toilet paper in a supermarket then why is it so hard to choose a server?

Even the part about Google Search only highlights the AI crap and skips over the real problem of increasingly worse search results. The whole article is more of a rant from a user's perspective and there aren't any real insights.

To put this into perspective, there were 207640 new cars registered in January, of which 1277 were Teslas. That's a measly 0.62 percent of total new car registrations.

Thing is, young people don't get to tell me what I have to do. I don't give a shit what younger people deem appropriate for my age. If I want to wear a hoodie at 50 then I'll wear a hoodie. Now get off my lawn.

Are you still sure he's not an asshole AND stupid at the same time? He tried the same trick twice and failed miserably. Now he's being mocked by the afd and this dumb and reckless maneuver has probably cost his party quite a lot of votes (and most of those unfortunately will go to the afd).

Interesting. I always thought it was just some kind of a shared mannerism, didn't expect there to be actual instructions for that. Do you have any more info on that?

Coming from Germany where a gesture even vaguely similar to a nazi salute is a criminal offence I naturally have a different stance on that. What fascists enjoy doing (and this pattern can be seen all over the word) is provoke with gestures, statements and symbols that look very similar to their fascist equivalent and they always have that smirk. They think it's very clever. When called out on that of course they feign outrage and again with a slight smirk. Journalistic integrity needs to recognize these patterns instead of giving the "benefit of the doubt". They are being played otherwise because there will never be definitive proof if they did it or not.
