Yeah, like where some people were exaggerating that if elected Trump would start concentration camps, disregard the rule of law, destroy American alliances and brown nose Putin. … Oh wait.

If Christians would go back to crusading against each other like the fourth crusade, the rest of us could maybe have some peace.

To have a proper justice system.

As the main comment explained: this is not saying “you got the wrong result”, this is saying " the way you reached that result is not the proper way for our justice system".

So they are just saying that the lower court didn’t do it’s due diligence and needs to look again at the case, this time considering the parts they missed the first time.

It is not uncommon in Germany that cases like this end in the same result

To try and explain it in an easier to understand way:

Person X murders Person Y

Court A says “Guilty, because you suck”

Court Higher B says: “Suckiness is not a proper judicial term, do the whole thing again”

Court A says “guilty, because here is the witness testimony, your finger prints on the murder weapon and the video footage of you killing person Y”.

Same result as before, but this time in a proper manner fitting a proper judicial system.

Blaming only? No. Having part of the blame? Yes.

Obama didn’t really change the direction the USA moved because he didn’t really help poor people and challenged the power of companies and billionaires. This helped put more unsatisfied people in trumps camp.

He succeeded in what he set out to do: give a nice face to American imperialism.

And I admit, Obama had charisma and was a proper statesman, in stark contrast to what came before and after. But most policies, with single exceptions like Medicaid, were standard neoliberal bullshit. And he didn’t stop the machine from going to where it is now, which is his biggest failure in my opinion.

No, the other commentator is right.

What they said is that you add 100 km/h, and you gain 2h when you add it to a slow train with 100 km/h, but if you add 100 km/h to a fast train with 400 km/h, you only gain a few minutes.

That is called diminishing returns.

That’s the part I don’t understand, it specifically isn’t even an orgy! So why join???

But the converse is true as well, for example the political situation in the UK with Brexit and USA with Republicans showed, that there is also a big overlap between “people who are assholes” and “people who are easily taken advantage of”.

So I think it’s rather humans are easily taken advantage of, if you know how.

I agree with you, but just to be that person:

To know something is poisonous, somebody had to have eaten it at least once.

I could try to weasel myself out of this by saying I was emulating Trumps knowledge and attention to detail… but yeah, didn’t know that, thanks for correcting!

Art Deco and Art Nouveau both are great in my eyes. (Neo-)Gothic cathedrals and churches are also wonderful.

But one more regional thing: I really like the Brick Gothic style. It is robust against wear and tear and still looks great.

Ok yes, then I agree. But deciding to stop a mass murderer has often a possible life ending consequence and I think most agree that it would still be the right way to act.

Thanks!

Refusing lawful orders comes with life-ending consequences.

Not even close to real? As far as I’m aware, death punishment is not what happened to any of those that refused during Vietnam or Afghanistan.

And also for a certain value of lawful I might add. Last I heard congress didn’t say the USA is going to war with Iran. Making it not exactly a war situation. Hey, now that you say it, suspiciously close to the last time a Republican president decided to play little dictator and fucked up the middle east. Strange how that keeps on happening.

You need to explain that “China” part in there for me. I understand the Stockholm part of the joke, but not the other one.

Yeah, now that the USA attacked in (yet another) UN violating war, those Swedish nerds really have to give it to him. Or his feelings will be hurt.

That’s my current state as well: if I kill myself just like that, the ones in power won. So I’m not letting them win. Either by surviving or… your option.

We laughed at the Republican party maybe 10 years ago, nowadays there are a lot of far right parties getting strong all over Europe =(

What rebounding are you talking about? The Dow Jones is at a currently stable 10% lower than 1 last month. I don’t exactly see a rebound there, except the short high some high hours ago, which then decreased again.

Thank you for explaining my point in more detail. They charge more because they can, correct.
