That in Germany “they also arrest a guy for writing some random Arabic on a flag because Hamas also has a flag written in Arabic” - that was what I didn’t believe initially, and what you called me a bootlicker for lmao

Since there is such a staggering amount of evidence around, care to provide even a single piece?

Yea I did 5 minutes research on google and nothing turned up. If it’s such an outrageous case it should be easy to find - so your point is that I should invest hours trying to prove some claim that some rando typed on here while taking a shit.

Nah bro a goat like me has much better things to do.

If you make outrageous claims the burden of proof is on you and not the people you’re talking to.

So the goated take in your opinion would be to just believe that a guy in Germany was arrested for writing random Arabic letters that kinda look like the Hamas logo without any proof or sources because it fits a certain narrative?

I’m not saying it’s impossibleb but there should be some evidence for such a strong claim

Please read my comment, i literally laid out the facts in the beginning. Crime rate has been falling for 30 years.

Not sure what “facts” you are presenting here?

I lived in Berlin for 20 years, stating that refugees with knifes are part of daily life is beyond delusional.

I’ve been to plenty of Palestine protests, no idea what regime you are alluding to.

Sure we have a police state problem and I won’t pretend everything is peachy - but it’s far from as extreme as some comments here make it out to be

Idk did they? Who knows man a lot of stuff is said on the internet that might’ve or might’ve not happened

How is Google competing with SpaceX?

There will definitely be a Butlerian Jihad to destroy the abominable intelligence and rampant digitalisation

I haven’t followed this case at all but how do you know which data is from children if you don’t do some kind of verification?

Btw in Germany the courts ruled that From the river to the sea as parole itself is not unlawful. The arrested person got acquitted.

Hamas and its symbols are illegal however.

I hear that often but I have yet to find any issues with it.

Maybe I’m too niche or not niche enough to run into issues. I also never download software from any site like this so maybe that’s it.

Idk I went to probably dozens of public protests here screaming no justice no peace, fuck the police and nothing ever happened to me, except a little tear-gas once in a while. I might be on some secret police lists not sure.

Living in Germany so UK might be much worse for all I know , but I would be surprised if Germany is the shining paragon for democracy now.

I had the same experience visiting the US - this was 15 years ago so I imagine it’s much worse now.

Got subjected to hour long questioning because I only had a little cash on me and told them truthfully that I would travel the country so I didn’t have one place to stay for the entirety of the trip (because I was TRAVELLING).

I since learned that my first mistake was to tell them the truth but alas.

After asking me about every single detail of my life they eventually let me in.

It’s a pity, such a great country being ruined by kleptocrats.

That’s simply not true.

Europe is not one country so this can vary a lot depending on which country you are visiting.

I’ve never heard of someone being subjected to the kind of extensive electronic searches that are routine in the US.

Sir this is a message board run by an US-American venture capitalist organisation; frankly what do you expect

I don’t buy that having children is the only really rewarding thing you could do as a human.

Like the only reasons you can come up with is mystery chemicals or soyboys - seriously?

I think it’s vastly more complex than “insert my favourite political reason” and includes many different factors.

Personally I think it’s telling that only the Orthodox Jews don’t seem to have that problem - with an extremely rigid, strict and misogynistic religion as their primary purpose.

Personally as a male I don’t mind having kids but if I were a woman no way in hell would I have one.

They didn’t

> Currently, DigiD is partially managed by Solvinity, a company owned by a British investor

Britain is neither local nor in the EU

Yea I was wondering where that data/info was coming from?

And what does it mean exactly?

They just can’t help themselves

I live in Germany and crime has been falling significantly since the 1990s with clearance rates for crimes like murder at 93%+

It’s by far one of the safest countries in the world.

I think the way you phrase you reply makes it pretty clear where you stand emotionally and politically, so I won’t pretend that facts will change your mind, but alas.

So tired of hearing the same lies repeated over and over again in media.

Don’t pretend the people you are replying to care about actual facts. It’s all feelings and xenophobia (or worse) for them

You know I spent a lot of my professional work life on the receiving end of these messages and if I had even one ounce of power to change anything for the better I would have.

In the beginning I would still compile user complaints into write ups for my managers à la “hey these 50 people hate that we do X, maybe we could do Y and win back their gratitude/trust” - but I soon realised that’s just a waste of my lifetime, because PM don’t give a fuck.

And why should they? Even if you improve the thing it won’t matter - the majority of people just want to vent like you; they don’t care anymore if the product improves, even if you would give them the perfect product of their dreams it wouldn’t change their minds.

This might sound jaded but there is a reason why the market is dominated by god-awful products - those that gave too much of a shit were sorted out early enough and only those that focus ruthlessly on the money and only the money survive.

There are a few exceptions of course but those just prove the rule to me.

Being horrible to the CSR will never be noticed by the C-suite.

If you think they give one flying fuck about what customers think I have news for you: the only thing that matters is what the board thinks and if revenue is rising but everyone hates the product/company they won’t even blink.

Motherfucker ?

They will also charge a lot more than you using the service if they aren’t charlatans

Edit: actually they probably will charge even more if they are charlatans

What isn’t legal? Cant really square your comment with GP comment.

Idk now that there are bunch of comments on the thread it’s vastly more interesting.

Yea I had no idea this product exists but it seems to be pretty horrible from the experiences shared in this thread
