Well, that’s why raw or flash pasteurized milk is almost impossible to get into supermarkets here in Germany. The regulations are crazy, if it’s possible at all.

They have me by the wallpapers!

Close as “won’t fix”. Easy. That’s what their customer service does to your ticket, too, if it’s too much to handle, so…

Yes, doesn’t the very existence of those “food courts” underline the caricature?

There is exactly one Taco Bell in Germany. For Ramstein Air Base:

You can make your speakers go BRRRRRRRRR via Home Assistant with it

Hey, now that’s funny. My cat is named

I have a hunch the two wouldn’t get along.

well, technically they don’t. Nor does any other nation technically speaking need any justification to deny US businesses from operating there (see sanctions against Russia or the US ban of Huawei). Yet that is so oversimplified that I won’t even entertain the argument and it is way besides the point I was making originally.

But… you know that a chinese factory does not need approval by US regulators to run, right? Like… the US doesn’t run the whole world and it’s not a normal thing that US regulators check out foreign factories, nor should it be.

Now if you get accused of using slave labour… how can you prove that you do not do that? You’d need to prove that the slave-labour-factories don’t produce anything that then gets sold to you, right? Because absence of slave workers in your factories is not proof that you don’t subcontract a slave labour factory. So you’d need to demonstrate that you’ve got nothing to do with them. But if you don’t work with those factories, you have no stake in the factories that exploit slave labour, so you can’t let (foreign) regulators into those factories. Now, even if you manage to do that, one could just turn around and say “Well, then you must use another factory we don’t know of, prove that this isn’t the case”. You cannot prove innocence, you can only prove guilt.

Well, it’s not that easy though, is it. You cannot prove a negative. So if I accused you of some sickening murder rape robbing spree where you harmed 20 people and by law it was on you to prove that you didn’t do it, you’d be fucked because you couldn’t prove that something isn’t true.

I mean, screw this og so poor multi billion company and their worthless pieces f shit laser printers, yet I am wary of the increasing tendency internationally to flip “in dubio pro reo” on it’s head.

How? “It’s only genocide if they all are killed” or what’s your definition? I mean… it’s not a full-blown genocide right now but we’ve just entered the highway to Genocidistan.

Yep, that’s how they roll here in Germany atm. Yes, we need to be especially sensitive regarding Jews here, yet the separation of Israel and the Jews is not made all too often in the media and in politics. Pretty frustrating.

Lemmy is just not big enough to bury shit like that in the flood of useless background noise like reddit.

People will see attempts like this in their feeds, no digging required.

Is this the clean coal Trump promised?

This response has nothing in terms of actual value, but Checks all the motivational speaker boxes. It’s not reality you struggle with, it’s your mindest, bro!

It’s not a genocide if you gave fair warning, amirite?

Those journalists were from German publicly funded media, the original article has zero ads or paywalls. Might be best to use that and have.it translated by the browser or the like:
