Obviously they are not the same thing. Left political opinions are good so the guys on the left have nothing to be afraid of and should welcome an open platform that broadcasts their noble stances to the world.

Entwarnung, lieber Deutschland-Thread!


quote:

Die Welt: Sie sprachen von „Schlitzaugen“.

Oettinger: Das war eine etwas saloppe Äußerung, die in keinster Weise respektlos gegenüber China gemeint war.

[...]

Die Welt: Haben Sie was gegen die Homo-Ehe?

Oettinger: Nein, überhaupt nicht. Ich habe die Homo-Ehe in einer Liste von Themen, Initiativen und Debatten genannt, die in Deutschland die politische Tagesordnung bestimmen. Mir geht es darum, diese Liste an Themen zu ergänzen - insbesondere um das Thema Wettbewerbsfähigkeit.

Puh! Alles wieder gut, in Zukunft einfach bitte drauf achten, dass ihr "Kanacke" nur sagt, wenn's nicht respektlos gemeint ist, und bei der gleichgeschlechtlichen Ehe ging's dem Herrn Öttinger auch nur drum, dafür zu sorgen, dass unser Zwangsehemann gut verdient. Im Sinne der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit sollte das vielleicht einfach ein Chinese sein, die sind nämlich "Schlitzaugen und Schlitzohren", was aber auch nur heißt, "einfach clever". So. Noch ein letztes Wort vom Günther?

quote:

Zwei Wochen nach den Todesschüssen eines so genannten Reichsbürgers auf bayerische Polizisten entdecken die Polizeibehörden der Länder Verdachtsfälle auch in ihren eigenen Reihen. Die Zahl der Disziplinarverfahren gegen Polizisten, die im Verdacht stehen, der Szene nahezustehen, hat sich bundesweit in kurzer Zeit vervielfacht. Sie liegt aktuell bei 15, wie eine Umfrage der „Süddeutschen Zeitung“ bei den Innenministerien der Länder ergab.

„Reichsbürger“ erkennen die Bundesrepublik Deutschland nicht als Staat an. Stattdessen behaupten sie, das Deutsche Reich bestehe bis heute fort. Staatlichen Institutionen wie Gerichten sprechen sie die Legitimität ab und erkennen amtliche Bescheide nicht an.
Schwerpunkt Bayern

Die meisten Fälle meldet laut „Süddeutscher Zeitung“ Bayern, wo Ende der vergangenen Woche ein 26-jähriger Beamter suspendiert wurde. Er ist bereits der sechste mutmaßliche „Reichsbürger“ in der dortigen Polizei.

Eine Umfrage der Deutschen Presse-Agentur bei den Innenministerien und Sicherheitsbehörden der Länder ergab, dass der „Reichsbürger“-Bewegung bundesweit mindestens 1100 Personen zuzuordnen sind. Allerdings fehlten aus 7 der 16 Länder zunächst konkrete Angaben.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Probably simply because Youtube wants to sell the subscription service Youtube Red in Germany, and the whole GEMA thing was a huge stumbling block for that.

I've taken to watching a ton of youtube on my PS4 and I'm starting to get ads for Die Rekruten. That, I feel, is a good reason, although I'd just as soon switch from the PS4 to a living room PC.

Youtube has tons of ads, and they are pretty good about getting around most ad-blockers. That and Youtube has tied their 'Offline Mode' to Youtube Red.

You can select videos and make them available offline on your phone/tablet etc.

I mean, if you savvy enough you can just rip them from youtube, but this is much more consumer friendly.

Always see everything.
You might prefer people being paid for the content they create, not for the ad space they sell. It might be that ad-supported content just leads to quantity over quality. It would obviously require that participating in Youtube Red or having ads on your videos be mutually exclusive, otherwise it's just subscription money on top of ad money.

Or you could see it more charitably and consider it a base income for content creators so they're not starving as soon as they have a few videos that don't get enough views. Or get sick and can't release videos for a few weeks.

Or you just want to give more money to Google because you love them so much.
