  • Wer bleibt dann außer den Grünen, wenn man seine Stimme nicht im Unter-5%-Land verschenken will?

    Mal abgesehen von der Parteifinanzierung, weshalb einer Kleinpartei seine Stimme geben immer sinnvoll sein kann:

    Wie viele Menschen denken so? Würde jeder, der das Gefühl hat seine Stimme dadurch zu verschenken, doch eine Kleinpartei wählen, halte ich es für realistisch, dass die ein oder andere es über 5% schaffen kann.

    Diese Mentalität ist ein selbstverstärkender Kreislauf.

    Man wählt keine Kleinpartei aus Sorge es sei unnütz -> man wählt große Parteien -> große Parteien bleiben groß, kleine klein -> man hat den Eindruck Kleinparteien sind zu klein, um eine Chance zu haben -> Man wählt keine Kleinpartei aus Sorge es sei unnütz -> …

    Der einzige Weg da auszubrechen ist es, es anders zu machen.




  • Labeling that as unprofessional is kind of arbitrary, which was basically my point.

    Although sex is something as natural, normal and common as eating, sleeping, shitting, having hair and whatever, some religious people a long time ago felt like this was something that needed to be tabooed, which I find stupid, because it has led and still leads to a lot of problems.

    I’m glad that this started to change, but still, having some harmless sex toys on display shouldn’t catch so much attention imo.





  • I find the term “sideloading” funny. It seems artificially created to be a derogative phrasing for something which was and is completely normal and advantageous.

    There was a time, when internet and computers weren’t that old, where you would just visit a website to download and install a program.
    It’s still common on the desktop market. At least for Windows and Linux systems.

    Google used the brilliant idea to chain users up to their own eco-system, by - very successfully - creating the illusion that using the Play Store and a tremendous amount of Google services and apps are the only way to go on Android devices. Apple does the same. Users aren’t used to “the old ways” anymore like on PC for example. And while it might seem like a win-win situation for the company as well as for users (it is easy for most and auto-updates are nice), situations like these highlight how dangerous it can be to allow a company to have complete control over a market.

    In other words:
    Teach people how to download and install stuff from the web again!
