Germany is Europes biggest country by population and GDP (not counting Russia and Turkey for population). It makes perfect sense for them to be the biggest spenders on defence as well.

Ironically the ultra right wing AfD party is actually against the rearmament, but that is mostly because they are Putin's puppets. (They claim fiscal responsibility concerns but this is a laughably transparent excuse)

I don't think you can generalize to the degree you are implying here.

There are significant differences between how we (as in humans) act outside the family and inside the family. Somebody may be toxic, have substance abuse issues, or display sociopathic traits outwardly but be a kind, loving and caring person towards their children. This discrepancy would of course create conflict, but parents not being perfect is also perfectly normal and happens in middle class families too.

I personally know a couple of people from fairly rich families. And while some of them definitely had toxic parents, some did not. Most of them are just people. In a lot of cases its just a case of ignorance. How they react to being confronted with their ignorance is IMHO more relevant for character judgement and that is also a trait instilled by their parents.

For what it's worth, the absolutely worst parents I know are thoroughly middle class.

Yes. It was a Neonazi from Britz doing it. He primarily targeted foreign cars, vehicles of local left politicians (Die Linke and SPD candidates of Neukölln both had their cars burned). He also lit up a few expensive cars, but that might have been because he ran out of "legitimate" targets.

Since we are talking about payment systems that interact with other banking systems, they will not be actually air gapped. By the nature and purpose of the systems in question, they must have access to the physical Internet (even if it is entirely abstracted away under layers of VPNs and encryption).

Assuming them compromised is prudent. Physical access is total access.

I have yet to see credible evidence of tampering with votes or election infrastructure.

Voter suppression happened, but that looks like established praxis for US elections.

So your dear leader was democratically elected. The question is: Does that matter?

For Hitler it took 60 days from legally and lawfully obtaining chancellor ship to the first trains rolling into the first camps.

You guys are at day 16.

What is the use case you are looking for?

Is it for accessibility to read out text on a website? Recording voice lines for YouTube videos?

It's almost like you could check out the linked campaign and answer that question with a couple of minutes reading.

The money goes to supporting pixelfed, loops and sup development, with the goal being financing full time development for the entire team.

Specifically where it relates to violent crime.

Essentially it is supposed to make statements like the following a rule violation:

"If someone murdered [fictional person] they would totally get acquitted because any jury would just nullify the charges."

While the following sentence would not be a violation of TOS:

"The murderer of UHC CEO Brian Thompson should get acquitted via Jury Nullification because [reasons] and this is super dope."

The first example could be read as a call to violence, while the 2nd is not calling for a crime.

As I understand it "All future jurors in money laundring cases should nullify, because tax evasion is... like... super cool" would also be legal, because money laundring is not a violent crime.

Unfortunately, the only hardware component you can actually download is RAM. And increased hardware prices are going to be the primary cost factor.

I generally agree, but there are two addenda.

First: Even the worst should be burried with dignity, because their behaviour is not the standard by which we measure our actions. Nobody is so evil that they can take our will to be decent human beings. So we do the right thing (decent burrial) to spite evil.

Second: With dignity is not the same as "with reverence" or "with honor". In many cultures criminals are denied certain parts of funeral rites (like processions, official or acknowledged mourning periods). This reinforces social norms to the living (don't do the bad thing or you will be shunned by society) and can also prevent retraumatizing their victims. The most common form of this is not allowing to have their gravesite marked. This is done so that their family may have a place of grief (the unmarked grave) but to prevent the grave from becoming either a shrine to their followers or a target of defilement by the victims. A fairly well known example of the last part is Adolf Hitler who was properly buried in an unknown location and then a parking lot was put over the area with the possible grave sites.
