Comment Re:Retesting old dogma... (Score 1) 126

Well, go say thank you to those who abused those terms to push hatred, racism and segregation.

Or how do you think the orange man-child was able to win two elections ont that basis? Because the topic was so unproblematic before?

Or might it be that people felt they weren't allowed to talk about mental illness anymore and had to shut up when nutjobs with rainbow flags shoot up kids?

And I really wish I was blowing things out of proportion. It's unbelievable with how much ibcompetence and lack of foresight the democrats delivered the win to that man...

Comment Re:Different cultures have different comedic taste (Score 1) 180

Spaceballs, Naked Gun, Hot Shots, and many more movies of the 80s and 90s seem pretty well-known in the German part of Europe.
I have to be honest and say I was a tv junkie so my impression is not necessarily indicative of reality but I remember the "inside" jokes in school when those movies ran.

Or what about Police Academy? It didn't even have to be good comedy coming from the US apparently :D.

While I am sure things are getting warmer, I also notice that they keep doing weird things...

July was mostly between 12 and 22 degrees, lot's of rain. The moment it turned August, we're getting drought and forest fire hazard warnings.

Temperatures I used to think were green they make yellow and what used to be yellow often is red.

I do think humanity has impact on the weather and I do think it's changing.

But I am just as convinced someone is trying to shape opinion with less than ethical methods.

What is the use of social media?
