Yes. Yes it is.

This is, quite literally, previous century drug deal scheme.

I was born in Yugoslavia, before the balkan wars (and before Tito died) and when I was in ground school, Kinder-egg drug deals were already old news.

This article is, at least (!) 40 years too late.

Not sure what you think you have described in your post, but that - is not journalism, much less traditional journalism.

So, to forward your dislike towards something that you have either not experienced, or seen, or have no understanding of - is pointless.

I mean, if you were born receltly, then you might have a picture that, what is being offered online (or even generally in the media) might be branded as journalism (which is not), however, the truth is that ‘‘news’’ today is (95%) nothing but a clickbait industry and has very little,if anything, to do with journalism.

The remaining 5% is actually - journalism, but that, just as any other thing for which someone else had put some education, effort and sacrifice in, has to be compensated.

Product advertising is something we have ad- block for. So far, in my life, I have never ever seen, heard or met a person that has convinced me that I need something they have.

Enchanting… magical…

Whoever does not realize that THIS IS FAR MORE DEVASTATING than any nuclear bomb or even SIGNED capitulation in a war - is nothing else but an utter fool.

So, privately proclaimed enforcers are being given classified information by the state institutions, so that they could exercise/execute swift justice to people proclaimed unwanted by the country.

2 problems here:

1. This individual is HIGHLY educated person (and should be direly precious to the country)
2. Nazi germany - 09.November.1938

Congratulations USA, you finally did it. You transitioned.

The sole concept of having a political option whose basic program, purpose and goal is NOT to allow everyone equal rights, is nothing but WW2 german Nazism and should be met with contempt, disgust, unacceptance and SEVERE resistance, even violent one if necessary.

Equalizing such option with any other (left?) option whose goal IS to provide everyone equal rights - is also nothing but intentionally shaming and devalueing that (left, socialist) option and intentionally supporting the Nazism option.

Whether posts, such as this one, come from being (politically) illiterate (as almost 55% of USA is below 6th grade literacy, which puts them in the cotegory of huge crowd of useful idiots) or simply because one is (momentarilly) safe from being endangered by any political stream, is trivial in the matter.

This is not the issue of politics. It is the issue of common sense.

If there is a damage more severe, more horriffic, more devastating than the nuclear bomb - it is a de(con)struction of (one countrie’s) educational system.

There is no punishment appropriate enough for what these people did and are still doing.

The consequences of these actions are too severe to repair. Ever.

I thought in Poland they are called: ‘‘Nalešniki’’? So now I’m confused.

Actually, I KNOW in Poland these are called ‘‘Nalešniki’’ because I used to eat them in pancake restaurants called ‘‘Nalešnikarne’’… the most notable for me being ‘‘Nalešnikarna Fanaberia’’ in ‘‘Svietojanska’’ (St. John’s) street in Gdinya.

Sorry if I didn’t write ‘‘Nalešniki’’ 100% correcu, but… I use slavic phonetics, so…

That is actually for the whole Yugoslavian area. To pronounce this correctly in english, one would have to write it like this: ‘‘Pallachincka’’ (singular) or ‘‘Pallachincke’’ (plural)… and greetings to all ‘‘Palačinke’’ lovers (had to scroll quite a while to find the comment, but I knew there had to be one…good job). :D

THIS. This is not being communicated enough.

The issue is the new(er) generations think they have discovered something never seen before, all the while truth being - the only new thing is the way people are being manipulated into investing in trickster scheme.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have been there when internet was born. We have witnessed it and we have learned from our mistakes. It is not you who are smarter, it is us knowing not to buy tulips.

Does it not mean Portuguese-Brasilian (Portuguese)?

And it is a Google translate add-on… or am I wrong?

Have you visited ‘‘Ukraine’’ on lemmy? No need to go to reddit.

I believe there is like a small RFID tote that works. But why? Keys work on so different frequency.

It is a somewhat bulky solution, but I’ve gotten me some RFID card envelopes (sleeves). Very cheap and solved my problem.

I didn’t realize how easy it is to scan the card, until I accidentally paid my gasoline with the wrong card. I’ve had my gasoline card in my right hand and was going for the card terminal, but at the same time i placed my left hand, in which I’ve had the wallet, next to the terminal. And before I even did anything… ding… ‘‘You have already paid, thank you.’’.

Some of my colleagues have RFID wallets and I think that is a great solution, too.

In Germany, it is possible to ‘‘make a deposit’’ with the bank, so the landlord gets only the confirmation (Bürgschaft). Furthermore, it is also a thing to pay that deposit in rates (installments), not to burden the new tennant immediatelly.

I think it works a lot like insurance: you pay a smidge every month, but you also get no money back at the end, so… not really a deposit. However, it does satisfy the landlord and the deposit is legally provided, so… to give up one or two coffee’s every month (for a couple of years) is worth it at the rough beginnings.

For comparisson, you pay some 20 € monthly instead of 3500 € on hands of the landlord. You are moving, you are already burdened with the costs and expenses, so instead of having a financial blow on top of all the misery, you simply walk into the bank, make ‘‘Bürgschaft’’ (depost confirmation), agree to pay 20 € monthly, beginning from next month… and you exhale. It is a practical guarantee that the bank wil cover your deposit.

You give that ‘‘Bürgschaft’’ (deposit confirmation) to your landlord and all is good. If your landlord later, turns out to be an a…hole, he has to claim the deposit with the bank. If you contest landlords claims (bank will 100% contact you in that case), then it is a direct war between him/her and the bank… and good luck with that. To you it is all the same anyway, as you pay (paid) monthly installment (rate).

If there are no disputes and you are moving out earlier, then you can simply cancel the ‘‘Bürgschaft’’ contract (based on canceled rent agreement) and you don’t have to pay anymore.

The downside is - no money back.

It is not really a hype thing here, but I’ve done it and it worked OK; (no disputes though).

Congratulations Netherlands, you are finally becoming USA.

I believe 2 things happened in Munich:

1. Germans are rather incompetent and a people of leisure habbits (this is so much true), so getting people to accept the alternative was met with: ‘‘Oh, this button does this now? Well, I guess this is not good then.’’. (Yes, I am aware that nation sensible german teenagers will downvote me here… as soon as they are done with their Tik-Tok and 'gram, but truth is brutal here.)

2. I cannot, for Batman’s sake, imagine that Microsoft had nothing to do with failure of the Munich project. I mean, for one such company, it is literally cheaper to bribe every single employee of Munich administration, than to deal with the loss of contract worth hundreds of millions… and the rise of the movement to stray away from their halfproducts.

But I guess there is moment for everything so… I wish S-H good luck. Getting rid of MS can bring only good things. It’s not like they are gaming during the working hours. For everything else, MS is really not worth the money.

This is underrated comment. XD
