Don’t let that fool you. Scholz’ measured attitude may make him seem passive, but his government was very active in terms of reform. Merz talks a big game, but the main contributions of his government are to revert changes from the previous ones, while also raking up massive debt to support his budget (something that he has actively campaigned against and blocked during Scholz’ tenure).
People ITT comment like it was just feeding the kitten that caused the influx of marriage proposals, not the fact that this dude is one handsome MF.
In Germany, when we read news like these, we say “ich kann gar nicht so viel essen wie ich kotzen möchte”, and I think that’s beautiful.
Isn’t this a bit of an overreaction for an election that was decided by fewer than 400,000 votes? Why even look for symbolic support when the “loss” you suffered was within 1% of the other guy?
This is something I noticed too. Some years ago, one of the futuristic aspects of EVs was how silent they were. Meanwhile, where I live, the newest fad seems to be to buy enormous E-SUVs, and I’ve noticed that I can’t tell much of a difference between the conventional and electric versions of these cars in terms of noise (for small cars, the difference is substantial).
I’m not sure if you’re referring to trains/trams or genuinely suggesting that there could be a rail-based system for individual traffic (i.e., people use individual pods without restrictions on start/stop location or time). The latter seems genuinely utopian to me if it can be made to work.
Two reasons. First, the required majority can be lowered to vote him in with a simple majority, if no absolute majority can be achieved (this will not happen right away). Second, the members who broke rank probably only wanted to send a message, so it’s likely that they’ll change their vote back to the party line (this may happen fairly soon).
Looking at this chart, the situation seems to be much better nowadays than I realized.

It’s a generational thing, too, though. At my parents’ place, they’ll look at me like I lost a limb when I drink tap water. Meanwhile, all the homies and homettes drink nothing but tap water.
You gotta ask for tap water, if you want tap water. Otherwise, they’ll bring you bottled water, which sells for more.
How is it possible to “accidentally” add a reporter from the Atlantic magazine to a Signal group chat? You can’t tell me this wasn’t deliberate.
It’s doable if you’re grossly and utterly incompetent while also being convinced that you’re the smartest bunch of people on earth (so mistakes are impossible).

Public entities funding open source development?
Yes, please!

Fuck, no!
