Bei mir hat ein Kind geklingelt. Ich voll nix gerafft und aufgemacht. War total unvorbereitet (bin gerade in ne andere Gegend umgezogen und die letzen Jahre wurde nie bei mir geklingelt). Musste dem Kind dann das einzige an Süßigkeiten geben was ich da hatte: eine Tafel Schokolade, die ich selbst essen wollte. Fuck. Hoffentlich mag das Kind Zartbitter 🙈

Yeah, but part of the trolley problem is that it's not just about choosing the option with the least harm, but also how being active in the decision impacts the morality of the situation. Being of the opinion that letting 3 people die on one track without your intervention is better than actively choosing the death of 2 is a completely valid response to the trolley problem. You don't have to agree that it's the right decision, but it's still valid.

Applying that to the election would mean deciding that letting the bigger harm that would be a Trump presidency happen is preferable to being an active participant in helping steer the metaphorical tram onto the Harris track and harming the people there.

There are no black and white answers here. That's the whole point of the trolley problem. Everyone is going to have their own point of view and it's going to vary depending on how they perceive the harm on each track. Like I said, if I had a vote in the US election, I'd probably vote to send the tram onto the Harris track, but my willingness to do so wouldn't be infinite, just because the Trump track is worse. At some point the harm becomes so big, that I would refuse to be an active participant, even if inaction meant an even worse outcome. Some people (understandably) feel like that with the current choices. That doesn't make them Trump supporters or bad people.

Are people really claiming Trump isn't worse? I think it's more that people think that Harris may be better than Trump (pretty low bar there), but still too bad to vote for. Voting for the lesser evil only goes so far. At some point the lesser evil is still too far from one's own ideals that voting for them isn't an option. Different people will obviously draw that line in different places and if I lived in the USA, I'd probably begrudgingly vote for Harris in the coming election.

Democrats basically slandering anyone who refuses to vote for their candidate as Trump supporters is fucking stupid and will hardly convince anyone to change their minds. Especially when it seems democrats have had nothing to offer the left other than "the other side is worse" for as far back as I can remember. If they want the left's votes, they need to earn them.

War mal meine. Ich wusste nicht was ich damit machen soll, also habe ich einen redirect auf die Seite der NRA eingerichtet. Hab sie aber dann auslaufen lassen.

Zumal das Geld so auch über die Einnahmen der Bands in die rechtsextreme Szene fließt. Das für Aufklärungszwecke beibehalten zu wollen ist absurd.

Duzen wird immer verbreiteter, vor allem bei jüngeren Menschen. Das hat nicht viel mit Freundschaft oder Gleichberechtigung zu tun. Es ist einfach ein Wandel der passiert, evtl. auch wegen Einfluss aus dem englischsprachigen Raum (dort ist es ziemlich üblich bei der Arbeit alle bis hin zum CEO mit Vornamen anzusprechen, was quasi einem Duzen entspricht).

Wenn du dich weigerst deine Chefin zu Duzen kann das so gedeutet werden als würdest du sie überhaupt nicht mögen, nicht dass du keine Freundschaft willst. Deshalb ist sie sauer.

As others have said, Germany is not as bad as the US (at least as far as I can tell looking at the US from the outside), but it's still fucking terrible and will likely get worse under future governments, which are all but guaranteed to be right-wing, quite possibly including the outright fascists of the AfD.

Public transport is useless, especially the train network, which is horribly outdated technically and has been gutted by quasi-privatisation. Trains are frequently late or cancelled (which counts as on time for German Rail's statistics). If you don't live in a city you basically have to own a car because of this, especially in smaller towns where there might only be like two busses a day (or none at all). There are some small improvements being made in cities, but they are hugely lacking and slow. They will also likely not survive future governments, which are promising car-centric policies and trying to import the anti-cyclist culture war from the US.

So yeah, it's bleak and the future looks even bleaker. With how things are going politically at the moment urbanism will be the least of our worries though.

Die Demonstrierenden haben aber auch ein Recht auf körperliche Unversehrtheit. Es ist mir unverständlich wie das "Recht" eines einzelnen Nazis Hass zu verbreiten höher eingestuft wurde als das Recht einer viel größeren Anzahl Demonstrierenden keinen Schlagstock in die Fresse zu bekommen. Es überrascht mich aber auch nicht.

Anyone remember those lines of pedestrians in the old top-down GTA games?

Spätestens wenn Trump tatsächlich President wird und das Land in den Faschismus stürzt, werden seine Tweets altern wie ein feiner Wein.

Wirklich jeder normal denkende Mensch denkt sich doch eh, dass Trump es verdient hätte. Ich habe noch niemanden gehört der froh ist, dass er überlebt hat, außer mit der Begründung, dass es seine Anhänger womöglich weiter radikalisiert hätte. Alle in meinem Umfeld, einschließlich politisch sonst eher gemäßigten Leuten, wünschen dem Typen den Tod.
