Admit it, you are an Austrian, right? Always with the “get them back into Germany”. But not this time!

I would respect that as a kind of performance art.

No, because those are not treated like heroes in their disciplines.

That last paragraph sounds exactly like the words that need to be uttered to them.

I see you majored in mad science.

Programmable? Look at rich guy over here!

In our lab all machines apparently use the same sound chip. So when you heard the beep, you had to check if it was the dish washer, the centrifuge, the oven or the automatic water measuring scale.

Greed was meant not only as greed for money but greed for power in general. Money itself is worthless, only its substitution for power is why it’s important in the first place.

I agree with your comment, but I didn’t talk about economic structures, but rather about how power is distributed in a society. That is closely connected to the economic structure, sure. But for example the Soviet Union was state socialism and started enough wars themselves. Also not because the workers wanted it, but those in power did.

The problem is and always was the power structure and the greed of those at the top of it. It had many different names and forms during history.

In a certain way I even agree with the sentiment. Of the crystals I have grown myself, the perfect ones are kinda nice, but do look fake/more like plastic. Those that are nearly perfect but have visible impurities (not to much, not to little) are far more visually pleasing to me.

The big BUT is that this in no way is a reason to support blood diamonds. If aesthetic is more worthy to you than human rights, than you are a villain, it’s that simple.

Could you provide a link to the original artist? I would like to read more from them.

The car bomb is triggered by turning the ignition. The POV is of the unsuspecting victim, so no bomb in view, just the view of turning the ignition.

But to be honest, it was a magical moment to follow the “rubber band” and realize what exactly it is. And by that I mean the eldritch horror summoning ritual kind of magic.

Nope from me, I only get a blank page.

One example is women didn’t need to stay home the whole day for child care, since there was Kindergarten for everyone from age 3 to primary school and even nurseries for children between 6 months to age 3 if you wanted to. Nowadays in eastern Germany the care infrastructure is still there mostly, but not on sufficient numbers and it is not guaranteed anymore, so parents need to have enough money.

To be fair, that was not (only) out of good will, but also out of economical necessity, since the female workforce was as much needed as the male one to keep the whole thing going.
