I agree. If we start spending half of our budget on the military, I'm going to lose my shit. 5% is some weird fantasy number, that somehow is actually discussed now? If not even the US, who are known for their excessive military spending, are even close to it, I'm sure you can have a proper military with a lot less.

First the settlers 2 and Caesar 3, a bit later and with a lot more impact Guild Wars (1).

So much this. I hate how slow or even backwards the EU is on some topics, but people forget so easily the crazy amount of good things it brought us as well, simply because they are considered normal now.

I'm strongly in favor of some deep reforms (and even think it's one of the most important things to get on now), but I am definitely not in favor of just dismantling the EU.

And the rest of the comments didn't even bother to read more than the headline (as usual 😑).

He wouldn't even ban them. The current discussion is just about initiating the process with the Bundesverfassungsgericht ("supreme court"), which would then decide whether to ban them. But what do I know? 😑

Good advice, that I would definitely recommend in a place like Germany. But still: First rule of Usenet is to not talk about the Usenet. :D

Or use some proper firewall and allow access only to whoever actually needs it.

Over all the complaining going on about the old traffic coalition, I forgot how bad CDU-led governments are :(

For real. To me it seems everyone is sleeping on that, but some deep EU reform seems one of the most important things to me (maybe even the most important thing?). We will never be able to get stuff done if hungary can just block everything even remotely good

I'm not your mate, dude!

Fair enough. But maybe there were also people that were brought in by Google, that actually stayed after Google left again? Well, I guess it's hard to say 🤷‍♂️
