I absolutely would advise Friedrich Merz to move to the US. Preferably permanently.

Also: if a child only refrains from doing something because they fear possible consequences they'll happily do it in situations where they don't have to be afraid of being found out. So if the only thing preventing your child from chewing on high voltage cables is the threat of violence your child will get themselves electrocuted once they're out of your eyesight. (Yes that's hyperbole, but you get the point.)

Most of the people who oppose the death penalty also want to improve prison conditions and minimise the amount of people sent to prison in the first place.

"Conditions in prison are bad" is an argument for improving living conditions for prisoners, not for murdering them.

And they're both legitimate issues for Athens. On the one hand the overtourism makes living in Athens unaffordable for Athenians but on the other hand a significant number of Athenians rely on the tourism industry for their livelihoods.

On the other hand the Ukrainians have started successfully using drones for ground assaults so they might be able to overcome or at least alleviate their manpower shortage that way.

No it's a baby. With Nazis as parents, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the baby will grow up to be another Nazi.

Those blocks don't look great in summer either. It's the brownish grey paint which was very common at one point and which makes any and all buildings look depressing, regardless of age, size or architectural style. It's an easy fix though, just repaint them.

Linux on Snapdragon isn't in a great place either.

It kind of did. Shit started going to hell a lot earlier, but Covid (and the associated conspiracy theories etc. going mainstream) turbocharged it.

You're aware that the current year is 2026, not 1948 right? The vast majority of Israelis are not settlers who moved there, they were born there.

Freedom fighters don't massacre civilians.

Freedom fighters don't take civilians hostage.

Freedom fighters don't parade their victims through the streets.

Freedom fighters don't rape.

Hamas are terrorists. The fact that the IDF is also guilty of those things does not change what Hamas is, and it does not justify what Hamas does.

Your personal needs are not the concern

And with that attitude you've already lost.
