It's only carbonara if the waiter gives you the stink eye and curses at you in Italian when serving, otherwise it's just sparkling alfredo.

In case the sparkling alfredo reference flies over your head, it is from a Reddit story from /r/AmITheAsshole

"Paul goes on about how the word for red in Italian is marinara, and the word for white is alfredo, so that's how he remembers the sauce names,"

Söder and cronies are coming up with more and more rules about cannabis. No smoking on Volksfeste or in public parks etc.

Meanwhile, a bunch of Royal Kush and Fast Eddie seeds are on their way, soon to be growing on a :siren: balcony :siren: within sight of not one school but two schools.
(Where the kids already had better weed than that years ago. )

Needless to say: Anzeige gegen mich selbst ist raus.

Apparently the SPD in Hamburg is trying to go into competition with Bayern for the most restrictive rules about cannabis for some reason. We will see if the Greens tell them to suck it up and not be assholes.

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 ...

is what we should send to Eurovision and not whatever dire poo poo is this year's flavour.

(Haven't checked the actual song yet, but I'm sure they won't break their pattern of boredom now or in 50 years)

honestly, I started to completely mentally blank out Eurovision after we stopped sending comedians, at least they were supposed to be clowns

It's doubly funny because even before the loosening I used to get a whiff of weed basically on almost daily basis whenever I took a walk through a park or Innenstadt in Hamburg. That ship has sailed, crashed, burned, and sunk to the bottom of the ocean.

Glad to see that the German state is doing its level best to empower tinfoil heads who argue that any regulation is equal to surveillance and oppression. "Wir erlaubens damit es keiner mehr macht!" is an amazing strategy.

The Pro move would have been: OK weed is legal but you can only buy it in government licensed shops at government dictated prices.

Similar to Swedens systembolaget alcohol stores. They could have cornered the weed market and made mad bank.

IIRC the issue with that it would run contrary to some EU regulations that still outright forbid direct commercial selling. Hence why they did the whole weird workaround with e.V.s in the first place.

Or the backdoor medicinal cannabis solution, which has worked out beautifully for me and some friends. Smoking primo weed delivered right to my door rn, it's pretty neat.

So far there's only some teeth gnashing by cdu pols and not that much news about it, I don't expect this to change.

Na ich weiss nich, the only difference between a EU Dutch coffeeshop and a EU German dispensary would probably have been better Deko & Musik (in the public dispensary of course). IMO wollten die einfach keinen freien Verkauf and all the rationalizations came later

This is a crude understanding of Germany's legal system by a "Journalist".

German police cannot "charge" someone. They have to investigate if a crime is reported to them. The doc states that investigation. A court or prosecutor will then charge, if enough proof was found.
