Ooops

No, that buried deep in the box with suppressed memories. So thank you for reminding me.

So their plan was to buy the name and get rid of employees? Looks expensive for that.

Wenn doch nur die sowieso angesichts der Bedrohung anwesenden Polizisten beitragen könnten, in dem sie z.B. alle aktivierte Kameras inklusive Ton dabei hätten, die man dann mal im Detail auswerten könnten...

PS: *aus Prinzip mitsing*

When you love the "fuck" joke so much you purely accidently forget the s in your headline...

...8-10 years ago.

I'm saying that a lot of people in Germany are brain-washed morons. And the overlap between those and the loud ones feeling a need to voice their complains is big.

That doesn't mean that there aren't low-income people that suffer from higher energy prices, but that's more a question of not having enough money to easily handle any unexpected costs. Those are however not typical the people talking loudly about their financial problems in general.

But then Germans just installed a record number of new gas-heaters. Because they are brain-washed by right-wing media with stories of how the evil Greens in government are trying to ban heating and forcing everyone to install those crappy heat-pumps that don't actually work and are just a scam, because obviously physics works differently in the Pensioneer Republic of Germany somehow. As I said I haven't heated for years as I live surrounded by average Germans and they will do a lot of complaining about their required supplementary payments up to a low 4-digit number (the usual renting contracts in Germany include a pre-payment per month for heating calculated based on expected costs per year) instead of smarten up and maybe not heat their mediocre-insulated flats to 24+°C...

(For reference there are my parents who also heat to a more reasonable 20°C. Yes they had to pay money last year -there was a short price-shock after all- but then their pre-payments increased by 20€/month and so they were covered when they got their yearly bill last month -for one year including last winter- that included an additional payment of about 5€ for their real heating costs. Yes, that's still money. No that's not budget breaking for the avergae loud complainer. Ohh and btw... the government implemented a price stop that they are letting run out early this winter as actual prices are down to far below that cap again.)

A lot of the complains are just Germans loving to complain, also fueled by the conservative opposiiton via public media they have big influence on -they were in power for 16 years before after all and for the majority of Germany's existence- telling horror stories about the total failure of government since the day they came into office, so they will get back to government soon for another decade or two of letting everything decay and sabotaging an energy transition that should be in the works for decades already.

You know, the same people that just today loudly announced how Germany's energy transition has failedand we need to go back to coal and nuclear... when that transition is actually a decades long plan and just from November 2022 to November 2023 in comparison the share of renewables -with most things needing years of construction- increased from ~48% to 77%.

EDIT/Addon: It's also very telling that we get the big stories doemstically and internationally how Germans couldn't heat their homes. Have you noticed how they again used total numbers without context? As barely anybody will read the text to see that it's 6,5% of the population, so far below the European average of more than 9%. That's also nothing new: We got the same "Oh, god! Germany is importing nearly 20% of Europeans share of Russian fossil fuels!"-stories last year... and no one could ever be bothered to compare that to share of population, share of industrial production or share of exports/GDP. All those numbers would have shown 20% +/- a few %, showing Germany was exactly on average. But that was not the stories that they wanted to tell.

Reporting badly about Germany sells: Internationally as people love to hear about Germans allegedly suffering and domestically as they do anything to get the failures back into office whose policies for decades lead to todays situation.

Nope... that's a translation mistake. Or rather a mistake of translating Fuchs to Fox in the text implying Lynx is also a translation...

It's not. They are talking about Rheinmetall's KF41 Lynx. Their modern IFV (with a lot of elements from the Puma minus the Bundeswehr specific stuff - basically the closest thing to an Puma export model), which Hungary ordered ~200 of iirc (produced domestically) and which the US is also evaluating right now as one of the last contestents in one of their IFV tenders.

Blessing of the trickster can target any willing creature but yourself, so in reality it's on the paladin. Always. So the weak link here would actually the trickster cleric... but then what they actually use on themselves in pass without a trace, also affecting everyone.

C'mon... Plate wearers in a stealthy group are so iconic and still you mess up the meme by including the one combination where everyone is very stealthy, even the guy in the clanging metal.

No matter how often you say this and deny reality, I can at any given day look up the daily story of how polls shows another 0,1% increase for this party and another loss of 0.05% for that party compared to the last poll about 3 days ago for a fictional election actually happening in 2 years. Complete with pages of text how it's all X's fault for policy Y that was actually never discussed and was only mentioned by some backbencher in a Tweet (bonus points when it's a pure invention of some opposition politician). That's the reality. A reality I see every day.

A reality of total media failure using polls as a pretense to give their narrative the seeming of plausibility.

And this reality doesn't change because you don't want it to exist for your point to be true.

"Would you choose to undergo an elective surgery to fix your broken leg if it had a 20% chance of killing you?"

Would you chonge your mind if you heard how the chance of getting killed now is 0.05% lower next day. Then another 0.1 higher 3 days later? Oh, and on saturdays your chances to die actually go down to 19%. Unless it's in a month with an "R". Oh, and the guy doing the procdure has his own stats that show a 3% lower risk, even 4% if you're favorite color is green.

That's an actual analogy of the amount of polls we are flooded with. And that's also perfectly describing their accuracy and worth.

Do proper polls with a detailed analysis about their methodology once in a while to stay in contact with public opinion and shifts of it. Constantly doing polls again and again for your latest story, always picked from the polling group you know will lean more to your desired result however is nothing more than a tool to give credibility to a narrative.

No, unlike you I know what I'm talking about. I know how YouGov does their polls. I know how YouGov was wrong at Scotlands Referendum 2014. I know how they were also wrong with their polls for the Brexit referendum, and also which publications constantly referenced them as a reason to "stay calm... UK will not leave the EU", which obviously contributed to lower turnout on the anti-Brexit side. And I know -again unlike you- why always the people wanting to tell a story about UK's EU support are referencing YouGov polls. Because they are always overvalueing certain positions again and again.

Do you throw it every scientific study that doesn’t meet your ridiculous criteria as well?

No I'm talking about always the same polls overvaluing one option being always used by the publications pushing that story again and again.

So you have an actual argument or do you want to keep attacking half a dozen strawman arguments you found between the line I never wrote?

"Oh, No! Someone diagrees with me! Let's find a couple of things he never actually said and then attack him repeatedly for being anti-science!!"

Are you even serious or is this just trolling at this point?

PS: Yes, a lot of different people do polls. Actually using those, or doing a weighted avarage or just mentioning they exist would be an improvement. But it is not happening, because publications always work with the same polling whose result are beneficial for that publication.
