Gr@ntlɘr wrote that without X one learns nothing about the destruction of the 150-year-old town hall of Limoges. He compared the extent to previous destructions by the Islamic State and stated that, according to Tagesschau, this time protesters against high living costs as well as possibly students or Yellow Vests had damaged the building. The campanile and the roof were lost, and the facade was largely destroyed. In his view, politics and media largely remained silent about the culprits and the extent of the damage. He concluded by asking if this was the "new normal." #Kulturdenkmäler #Zerstörung #Politik (translated)

The Australian exchange student wrote that, in his assessment, users who shared the video of a beating attack in Frankfurt would be pursued more harshly by the rule of law than the underage perpetrators. Their faces should not be shown, while, according to him, drunk teenagers on Sylt had been in the media spotlight for so long that their existence had been destroyed. He ironically referred to the situation as the "best Germany of all time." #Rechtsstaat #Frankfurt #Medien (translated)

Bernd Kaiser accused Fritz-Kola of double standards. He wrote that the company had presented itself as left-wing and anti-capitalist for years, but was now criticizing the planned sugar tax, which would particularly impact the company due to its sugar content of 10.5 grams per 100 milliliters. Kaiser estimated Fritz-Kola's annual revenue at 116 million euros and said the company complained about bureaucracy and hundreds of additional customs officers. At the same time, he criticized that Fritz-Kola was acting as a sponsor of the CDU party conference. The tax, according to Kaiser, would burden local medium-sized businesses while large corporations like Coca-Cola would be less affected. #Zuckersteuer #Doppelmoral https://t.co/vNlj5kf4H6 #Doppelmoral #Sozialismus #Wirtschaft (translated)

Martin Reichardt thanked the CSU for documenting the appearance of Vice President Andrea Lindholz and Bernd Kaiser for a comment he reportedly adopted. Reichardt recalled a statement made by Left Party MP Gebel in March. She had countered him in the Bundestag by saying that the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, but he was still more sensitive. According to Reichardt, this remark was met with thunderous applause; no one was offended by the wording. Gebel had also miscalculated by 7,000 nerve endings. This week, Reichardt hinted that Gebel did not know her own sexual organ. Lindholz subsequently spoke of an invasion of privacy and misogyny, and imposed a fine on him, he wrote. Reichardt accused the Bundestag of double standards: when a left-wing politician aims below the belt, it is cheered, while the same wording from a conservative is regarded as an attack on the dignity of parliament. He described this as a whiny double standard and demanded that the parliament not measure with a double yardstick. #Doppelmoral #Klitoris #Bundestag #Doppelmoral #Bundestag #Politik (translated)

Bernd Kaiser wrote that Tesla presented its new Roadster at night, which according to his information can accelerate from 0 to 100 in less than a second. SpaceX cold gas engines would even allow the vehicle to take off. He compared this technological advancement in the USA to what he views as a lesser pace of innovation in Europe. Kaiser criticized Volkswagen for recalling ID models and claimed that European automakers are lagging behind China in charging performance. At the same time, he accused company executives and politicians of focusing more on ideology and regulation than on inventions. He said the Roadster would not be approved in the EU, mockingly justifying this with possible noise protection regulations. In his opinion, Europe has lost its technological edge. #TeslaRoadster #ElonMusk https://t.co/rAcUSFyR6J #Tesla #Innovation #Technologie (translated)

Carsten Jahn wrote that Tesla, together with SpaceX, presented a Roadster. The video, according to him, does not show an AI recording, but a live demonstration in front of an audience in Waco, Texas. According to Jahn, Elon Musk commented on the demonstration and said, "Well, it worked!" The displayed Roadster was equipped with thrusters from SpaceX rocket technology. #Tesla #ElonMusk #Zukunft (translated)

Bernd Kaiser wrote that Ukrainian officers were dismayed because their drones were suddenly only allowed to fly at 161 km/h. He claimed that Ukraine's military strategy depended entirely on US technology: Elon Musk's satellites, AI targeting data from Peter Thiel's company Palantir, and Hornet drones from former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. The US military, under Donald Trump, reduced the Starshield network to exactly 100 miles per hour, Kaiser wrote. This would cause all Ukrainian medium-range operations to collapse. Kaiser argued that whoever controls the satellites in space sets the rules on the ground. At the same time, he accused Europe of having no own satellite networks, relevant military AI, or global technology companies, but having strict regulations. Berlin and Brussels should be aware of this, he wrote, and not continue to push Europe into a hopeless war. #Geopolitik #UkraineKrieg #Militärtechnik (translated)

LarsInvest criticized that Google reviews are, according to him, not very reliable: even a hairdresser with 4.8 stars can deliver a very bad haircut. He claimed that more than 90 percent of the reviews deleted worldwide are removed in Germany. He cited the legal situation as the reason, according to which reviewers must prove that they were customers there in the event of a dispute with the business. This deters many and has led to the emergence of a "removal industry" specialized in removing negative reviews, consisting of law firms and agencies, he wrote. Therefore, it hardly pays off to leave a review for bad food or service. As a positive point, he noted that the number of deleted reviews is now displayed. #Bewertungen #Friseurbesuch #Kundenservice (translated)

Savings account opponents described a hypothetical example in which someone transfers 50,000 euros to a friend for investment. According to this, after one year, the friend achieves a 20 percent return and transfers back shares worth 60,000 euros. A few weeks later, the tax office demands 12,000 euros in gift tax from the recipient, according to the article. After the recipient explains that the money originally belonged to him, the office also demands 9,000 euros in gift tax from the friend. Savings account opponents referred to this as typical for Germany. #Finanzen #Investieren #Steuern (translated)
