Us Germans sadly have owner’s associations in appartment buildings that can pull similar shit with the house rules, and also crazy restrictive building codes in some places, dictating how your driveway is allowed to look etc.

Tbh, that would be a functional dish without the broth.
- Comment on Jason Schreier says Sony is backing away from putting single player games on PC 1 week ago:
If I were a console vendor and I were worried about the PC as a competing platform, I’d think that I’d try to emphasize my competitive multiplayer games, not single-player games.
Step one: Don’t charge extra for online play.

If you know that you explicitly disagree with somebody on certain aspects, their opinion will be just as useful to you as if you liked exactly what they like.

Oh no! Somebody else might benefit from something you would’ve made anyway, at no additional cost to you! The horror!
- Comment on Blizzard reportedly partnering with Arc Raiders owner Nexon to revive StarCraft as a shooter 3 weeks ago:
Weird idea but bear with me: They could, and this will shock some of you, I hope you’re sitting in a safe position … They could revive Starcraft as fucking Starcraft!
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 4 weeks ago:
The newer Anno installments. I’m not buying another Ubisoft game unless they get rid of their stupid Launcher, and I’m also not buying anything with Denuvo and similar BS.

I’m still longing for a new terror from the deep.
- Comment on Noooooo 5 weeks ago:
For me the times are usually the other way around. I have coworkers who’d need two sentences for the actual question but wrap it in 15 minutes of useless small talk when they are on the phone.
- Comment on It's barely a science. 5 weeks ago:
There’s plenty of “actual” economists like that, and unfortunately some of them are among the generally most listened to, they lead prominent institutes and advise my home country’s government.
- Comment on It's barely a science. 5 weeks ago:
The main problem is that the math they do is often based on assumptions that have repeatedly been disproven but are still treated like gospel.
If you assume 2+2=5 you can follow up with as much correct math as you like, your results will always be shit.

That’s just because it’s pronounced “Bose” instead of “Bose”.

Everybody who has to work for a living is part of the working class. Further division is just “divide et impera” by the owners.
- Comment on Adtech is not tech 2 months ago:
it means that those with the most money in the world will effectively be in power of the world, which is exactly what we see.
Wealth is power, which is why wealth, like power, must be limited.
- Comment on Adtech is not tech 2 months ago:
Everybody who works in advertisement should be reeducated to do some productive work for society instead. Like caring for old people, cleaning parks, repairing roads …

Chairs are fucking expensive though. It’s always like “oh, this table is only 300” “yeah, but the matching chairs are 120 each”

If you make a profit on your house, are you a scalper?
If I had never intended to live in it and just speculated on appreciation? Yes. Take your fair share and leave some for others. Your entire reasoning is why the world is such a shithole.
- Comment on Internet picture of a monkey 2 months ago:
It’s not ok to be a scalper just because it’s kid’s toys instead of geforce cards.
- Comment on What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA? 2 months ago:
In Germany, where I’m from, FDP (“die Liberalen”) is a prime example. They are notorious for campaigning on civil liberties issues and then, once in government, dropping most or all of them in favor of radical deregulation and tax gifts for rich people.
- Comment on What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA? 2 months ago:
Enacting progressive taxation, punishing white collar crime, establishing strong environmental protections, establishing a strong social safety net, ensuring high quality universal healthcare, enforcing anti-trust legislation, and enacting electoral finance reforms are all things that liberals support
Those are all things that the liberals of old supported. But the parties that call themselves “liberal” today are usually strictly neoliberal. So that’s what people have come to associate with the term.
- Comment on Do you preorder games? 2 months ago:
Never pre-order.
I do early access only in very specific cases where it’s an indie studio and the game already offers a lot of value. E.g. Satisfactory was in early access for a long time when it was basically a finished game you could sink hundreds of hours into. But I read and watch a lot of reviews before I buy into one of those. Can’t do that with a pre-order.

- Comment on Total War: Warhammer 40k 2 months ago:
I have questions.
Are there gonna be 3 levels now? (Real time battle, planetary overworld, space over-over world)?
Are the space marines gonna march in a phalanx formation?
Which space marine is gonna be the princess?
