  • Idk I’d guess for a lot of people it’s just pinning their dislike which might come from anywhere to a superficialy unfamiliar part of whatever media they are watching. The other reason is like, conservative patriarchal propaganda, trolling, bait whatever and just sorta falling into the crowd on any of these.

    Also there is media written for women that likely doesn’t have this problem, or at least not as much. But then again the normative position to sell to is a male one.

    Now being male I never really see an issue with my media representation(because there is none at least from numbers), but also I generally complain about media not for it’s cast of characters. If I complain it’s usually, either because I just feel uncomfortable/bored with it for whatever reason, or because it comes of as disingenuous or lazy, both of which will get me to drop it.

    Art by committee/ marketing aim doesn’t feel right to me usually and casting female/progressive can sometimes happen for that reason. As in a part of the cast makeup is decided in order to bait a particular reaction to generate publicity, and conservatives being angry is still publicity.

    In this case then the real issue of bad art is doubly masked by one one hand people complaining about woke cast, while on the other hand people consume slop they would’ve never known if not for baited conservatives complaining. While the production behind it laughs it’s way to the bank.

    I’m just one guy tho who hasn’t really even seen all that much what do I know about art, content and the world.



  • Kommt halt auf die margins an die die kriegen, verkaufste 3-4 Pfannen haste das Display drinn. Wenn man dafür dann den printer plus das gehickhacke damit rauswerfen kann, kann man sich bestimmt bei bis zu [1-3]00€ schönrechnen.

    Verstehe deinen Frust aber gut Ich wünsche mir auch schon länger bezahlbare einks aber das einzige was existiert sind die Supermarkt Dinger, und die sind klein und jetzt nicht so wirklich Benutzerfreundlich wenn man nicht Grade Preise anzeigen will.

    Hab mir vork kurzem so’n uralt Sony Reader geholt und das Display und die damit einhergehende Laufzeit ist schon was feines Android 2/3 ist was wild in 2025 aber für 15€ erstaunlich in Ordnung. Die bücher sind bei Anna bzw zlib ja durchaus sehr erschwinglich.

    Im richtigen high end sieht man da immer Mal wieder coole Sachen ist aber sicher unbezahlbar A1 Vollfarbe ziemlich wild https://youtu.be/GZovXr3n66E




  • The AfD won’t get into power this election, so there is 4 more years to sort them out.

    Have you been in germany this last week, have you read any of the news from there ? are you Naive about the CDUs position ? How come that this can still be the excuse ? Have you lived under CDU nothingness for most of the last 25 years? And the afd imo. only is this big because of fear of economic downturn from it’s voterbase + the constant fearmongering now taken up by CDU and SPD as well as to a lesser extent Grüne.

    Not sure what this “destruction of the economy”

    With destruction of the economy I mean continuation of the neolib Status quo which has existed more or less unchanged for my entire life. Under all the parties except for afd and linke mind you. Which has and is continuing to make life here economically relatively hard. Sure not as bad as some place else but this is not an EU election it’s for this place.

    You sure? Because the actual actual read of their NATO position is that they want it disbanded and replaced wih an security alliance the includes Russia. “Wir fordern die Auflösung der NATO und ihre Ersetzung durch ein kollektives Sicherheitssystem unter Beteiligung Russlands, das Abrüstung als ein zentrales Ziel hat.”

    If you just look at a party Program without listening to the politicians when they actually explain it sure yes that is the position. Do you believe party programs will be policy word for word? If you don’t we can go back to my little paragraph which is from recent communication from the party heads. Also not perfect sure but much less (self) reductive.

    invading Europe and they need to be stopped now.

    They haven’t been for 2+ years now don’t kid yourself that they can be stopped in the way you’d like (total ukrainian victory plus short timeline is a pipedream). So tell me why I should not vote for my self interest economically, but instead vote for this idealistic, and with cheeto deals increasingly hollow, ukrainian victory.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’d I love to vote the greens in two weeks (Habeck’s Ukraine position has been solid), but only if there is no chance of red/red/green (which looks good so far).

    And if there is a chance of RRG your already threatening (with the Ukraine thing still being like 90+% solid), to throw any chance of progress for anyone that doesn’t already have it all away, fucking beautifully compassionate.

    Honestly the kind of blindness to the status quos failings displayed by people along your lines is the reason I’m going to vote linke, so that there’s at least someone to call out the shenanigans when they go down in the Bundestag, in our oh so infallible Democracy.


  • This is rather an unfavorable reading of their position. And to nail down them being unelectable to this position, is very reductive in an environment where we have: fascists at 20%, rather turned rightward conservatives at 30%, geriatric and corrupt “socdems” at like 15, and libbed up greens also at roughly 15%. All of these are for various reasons also unelectable largely more unelectable. Weighing a further destruction of the economy, and a further rightward shift, up against an idealistic maybe naive position on foreign politics I mean come on.

    The actual read of their NATO position btw. Is closer to the the EU is already a military alliance with strength, and the US (+five eyes) is an unreliable/ imperialistic partner against which the EU should also strengthen itself. Largely they see Russia as worse(or at least equally bad) for the moment, but maybe not forever. Which is what the comment above is likely alluding to.

    Pretty standard socialist FP positions for Europe I’d say. If you don’t get why NATO might be bad maybe brush up on Afghanistan and Iraq.

    Also their FP is not going to matter this election apart from being a check to the governments position, even if they were to somehow end up in one.







  • I mean not voting is often/in many places the most popular American presidential candidate, obviously not just because plenty are stupid or apathetic, but also because it’s been made pretty hard to vote in many places.

    It’s more accurate to say that the majority didn’t (manage to) vote against him. So the conclusion is more like the majority didn’t care enough to prevent this, instead of the majority wanted this.

    To you it might feel no different but seen from the outside it very much is different. The consequences are still bad, but your consequence shouldn’t be resignation, Americas citizens failed themselves sure but they aren’t overwhelmingly monsters.

    With the amount of fuckery in terms of media and the whole election process in the US this is a more fair assesment.

    How about instead of fighting against strawmen you start fighting against fascist my brother in the divided states.

    It was always gonna be harder than just voting anyways, but even then there’s always good reason to fight and to hope.






  • The sad thing is that it is buyable but not in places below like 200k population. In Europe idk how far third wave type coffe got everywhere else but I’d imagine in international cities it’s largely available all over the world.

    It’s frankly insane how different a specialty coffe place is from a Caffe. And how many specialty coffe places there are in big cities/ university towns.

    The provinces seem to not be able to sustain good coffe unfortunately. Unless there is someone who doesn’t care about the balance sheet.
