You can thank our libertarian minister of finance and his debt-ceiling fetish for that. He's also the one who demanded that our 100 billion fond for the armed forces has to include VAT tax, which effectively lowers it to 84 billion.

He's also the guy who likes to protect the more than 20 billion in subsidies for fossil fuels or the car industry, yet wants to cut social services by 20 billion.

but still they promised us.

Yeah and the Boxer in that fight last night promised me an exiting fight, but then dropped K.O. in the first round.

You can make the campaign promise to try to legalize Marihuana. You can actually mean it with all your might and will. But all your plans will still annihilate on first contact with reality, and what you do then is what counts. When you then try every possible idea to get closer to your goal, you are doing exactly what you promised to do: try your best to achieve your goal.

That's what this government is doing, and I respect them for that. I count that as a promise kept because they really put in the work to get us as close to legalization as possible.

Total disagree. This legislation would be the biggest step towards legalization since...ever. Owning and consuming 30 grams completely legally? That's fucking huge!

It can't even be sold like in Amsterdam

This is supposed to be addressed in the intended second law, which however needs approval from another government body, the Bundesrat, formed by the government of the states and in which the anti legalization conservatives have a majority. And I don't see you debating and convincing them, so why should they suddenly change their position? Additionally, in stark contrast to dutch implementation, it allows for public consumption, while in the Netherlands, consumption is only allowed in coffee shops.

Sorry, but your complaints are like criticizing someone for wanting to take the stairs to the first floor, and demand they just magically fly straight to the third one.

Today, I had a weird issue: A program I worked on for hours would compile and do the (test-) output it was supposed to do. But if I'd declare and initialize another variable (unused), it would be stuck in an endless loop.

It would only happen with an initialized variable, not with simply declared variables.

Took me until this evening in my bed to realize that I probably am using another uninitialized variable somewhere in my code and that's the source of this bug.

Conservatism is a regressive mental disorder

Lemmy would be a multivitamin pill or something else that's good for you

Yeah man and now imagine if that shit happened every day in the Iraq war and nobody ever reported on it.

Of course 😥

I can't even get Hulu in my country :/ I'm forced to rely on the pirate even though I literally want to pay for it

See, that's the funny part: When the US bombs a hospital, it makes international headlines for at least a week. And the US acknowledges what happened. Same as when they accidentally shoot down a passenger plane.

In contrast, when russia shoots down a passenger plane, they deny that it even happened. And when they bomb a hospital, it's part of systematic hospital bombing campaigns like in syria or ukraine and they bomb one hospital every 2-3 days. And it doesn't make any headlines at all.

That's the difference between war crimes committed by the US and war crimes committed by, say, russia.

You know what's a "folly"? Not recognizing your war crimes.

And the italians revolted against their facist handlers. And hung Mussolini upside down in Milano. That's why italy got a rather okay end to the second world war.

And the poles managed to stage an uprising against the germans while fully under their control in a ghetto. But yeah, the poor japanese victims were powerless.
