Weiß nicht, ob ihr das schon mitbekommen habt, aber ARD und ZDF sollen sparen und deshalb wollen die Bundesländer Sender wie 3Sat, Phoenix und einige andere (auch Radiosender) killen, ein paar der wenigen Sender, die manchmal vernünftige Sendungen zeigen und gegen Falschinformationen aufklären.

Wenn euch das stört, dann gibt es hier bei Campact eine Petition um das noch zu stoppen.

okay so, what we are NOT going to do is make ai videos of drivers kissing each other. I don’t care if YOU think it’s harmless and “cute”, it’s weird and creepy. Even ai singing covers is already pushing it at some point. It’s dangerous and we shouldn’t tolerate it.

Rpf and fan art are fine but keep in mind that these are real people, in real relationships (some of them MARRIED with children). Don’t let it get too far.

When I was in ninth grade I wanted to challenge what I saw as a very stupid dress code policy (not being allowed to wear spikes regardless of the size or sharpness of the spikes). My dad said to me, “What is your objective?”

He said it over and over. I contemplated that. I wanted to change an unfair dress code. What did I stand to gain? What did I stand to lose? If what I really wanted was to change the dress code, what would be my most effective potential approach? (He also gave me Discourses on the Fall of Rome by Titus Livius, Machiavelli’s magnum opus. Of course he’d already given me The Prince, Five Rings, and The Art of War.)

I ultimately printed out that phrase, coated it in Mod Podge, and clipped it to my bathroom mirror so I would look at it and think about it every day.

What is your objective?

Forget about how you feel. Ask yourself, what do you want to see happen? And then ask, how can you make it happen? Who needs to agree with you? Who has the power to implement this change? What are the points where you have leverage over them? If you use that leverage now, will you impair your ability to use it in the future? Getting what you want is about effectiveness. It is not about being an alpha or a sigma or whatever other bullshit the men’s right whiners are on about now. You won’t find any MRA talking points in Musashi, because they are not relevant.

I had no clear leverage on the dress code issue. My parents were not on the PTA; neither were any of my friend’s parents who liked me. The teachers did not care about this. Ultimately I just wore what I wanted, my patent leather collar from Hot Topic with large but flattened spikes, and I had guessed correctly—the teachers also did not care enough to discipline me.

I often see people on tumblr, mostly the very young, flail around in discourse. They don’t have an objective. They don’t know what they want to achieve, and they have never thought about strategizing and interpersonal effectiveness. No one can get everything they want by being an asshole. You must be able to work with other people, and that includes smiling when you hate them.

Read Machiavelli. Start with The Prince, but then move on to Discourses. Read Musashi’s Five Rings. Read The Art of War. They’re classics for a reason. They can’t cover all situations, but they can do more for how you think about strategizing than anything you’re getting in middle school and high school curricula.

Don’t vote third party unless you can tell me not only what your objective is but also why this action stands a meaningful chance of accomplishing it. Otherwise, back up and approach your strategy from a new angle. I don’t care how angry you are with Biden right now. He knows about it, and he is both trying to do something and not doing enough. I care about what will happen to millions of people if we have another Trump presidency. Look up Ross Perot, and learn from our past. Find your objective. If it is to stop the genocide in Palestine now, call your elected representatives now. They don’t care about emails; they care about phone calls, because they live in the past. I know this because I shadowed a lobbyist, because knowing how power works is critical to using it.

How do you think I have gotten two clinics to start including gender care in their planning?

Start small. Chip away. Keep working. Find your leverage; figure out how and when to effectively use it. Choose your battles, so that you can concentrate on the battle at hand instead of wasting your resources in many directions. Learn from the accumulated wisdom of people who spent their lives learning by doing, by making mistakes, by watching the mistakes of their enemies.

Don’t be a dickhead. Be smarter than I was at 14. Ask yourself: what is your objective?

Nachdem ich mich in diesem Post schon über Adams Waffen"verwahrung" in KdE aufgeregt habe, muss ich feststellen, in FdG ist es noch viel schlimmer.

Adam, das ist deine Jogginghose! Du kannst doch deine Waffe nicht einfach in den Bund deiner Jogginghose stecken! Die wiegt geladen vermutlich knapp ein Kilo, und du steckst sie in einen Gummibund, ohne Gürtel, ohne irgendetwas, das sie hält! Und ohne Sicherung!!!!

Und die absolute Höhe: Adam stopft sich die Waffe nach dem Aussteigen aus dem Auto wieder hinten in den Hosenbund.

Was hast du während der Autofahrt gemacht, Adam? Hattest du die Waffe in der Hand? Im Handschuhfach? Auf dem Schoß? Im Getränkehalter?

Wäre ich Leo, ich hätte dich hochkant aus dem Auto geworfen!

Kein Wunder, dass Leos Gedankenadam ein Schulterholster trägt, der perfekte Adam in Leos Kopf packt die Waffe nämlich ins Holster, wo sie hin gehört, und nicht in diE VERDAMMTE JOGGINGHOSE!

Ich kann aber besser schlafen, wenn ich weiß, dass dir nichts passiert.

Wenn irgendeiner auch nur laut hustet, komm ich da rein, verstanden?

okay, zeit für ein bisschen brainrot. ich hab gerade hdw nochmal geschaut und dabei ist mir aufgefallen, dass leo bis jetzt noch nie so krass reagiert hat, als er die angehörigen von den getöteten gesehen bzw mit ihnen gesprochen hat, wie in fdg mit dem ehemann von rosi. aber eigentlich macht es voll sinn: das war der erste mord, bei dem eine geliebte partnerin getötet wurde und leo die reaktion des ehemanns gesehen hat. wie oft hat leo wohl daran gedacht, ob adam gestorben ist, nachdem er abgehauen ist? hat er während seiner ausbildung auch manchmal daran gedacht, ob er adam irgendwann auf so ner liege sehen wird? hat sich das in seinem kopf abgespielt, als der ehemann in der pathologie war?

I am screaming, a german TV show called extra3 who does satire on current topics and politics made a Sherlock parody, with scenes from BBC Sherlock and in german, about the expensive flat market at the moment, and how its impossible to find a cheap good flat in big cities. A case not even Sherlock Holmes can solve.

Its in german but if someone wants a translation I can do it. Im laughing my ass off, oh my god this makes me so happy. Sadly I can't download the video, would like to keep it to make sure it's never lost.
