I remember you! From a discussion about people being barred from voting for certain criminal offenses.
Your username is very rememberable.
No, but the reason for it is one of safety, not morality:
Every bacteria, virus, fungus or other germ that can contaminate that lab and that meat is already adapted to hurt me, there is no species barrier. Nature generally abhors cannibalism because of this.
Now if you grow it in a lab, that might not be too much of a risk, but once you enter capitalist industrial production there are numerous incentives to cut corners and increase the risk of contamination.
Contamination also exists in factory farming, but at least there, there’s a species barrier and the impact of that cannot be overstated.
Alternatively, you’ll create a swamp of human meat factory farms that use huge amounts of antiviral, antifungal and antibiotic agents and just get soooooo much more effective in training multi-resistant germs, already adapted to human tissue.
Oh Ukraine absolutely should be allowed to join NATO asap!
But the failure of many EU states to defend the rights of their citizens doesn’t mean we should let more people opposed to those rights join the Union. I firmly believe that the EU should be the shining beacon on the hill. That we come together to defend our rights, ensure peace and seek cooperation across the continent, but always, always in the pursuit of the lofty ideals of humanism, the enlightenment and social justice.
I am fighting the right at home, I have no intend to supply them with reinforcements.
If LGBTQ+ people serving to defend Ukraine don’t receive better legal standing than they have right now, I would be opposed to letting Ukraine join the EU after the war.
The supposed western values Zelensky claims Ukraine is defending imo. include equal rights for Gender, Romantic and Sexual Minorities (GRSM)
My support during the war though is independent of that. Let Putin eat shit.
UwU, OwO and OwU represent Cute Face. It is used to express various warm, happy, or affectionate feelings, often with an overtone of arousal.
I absolutely support the right of Israel to exist and defend itself against Hamas. I just don’t think that this sanctions the bombing of innocent Palestinians in Gaza or to pursue an aggressive settlement policy.
I am in favor of Israel.
I am strongly opposed to Netanyahu. Fuck that guy and his entire government.
This is PATENTLY wrong. It’s 1.49% of GDP, not budget.
Defense budget is 10.9% of the governments budget, it’s the second largest budgeted item after social wellfare and in front of infrastructure (which is crumbling) and debt. To increase it to 2% of gross domestic product means spending an additional amount equal to the entire budget for education and research.
When the AfD marched through our cities with cries of “Volksverräter!”, I should have recognized it as a declaration of intent.
I like like like
oh, like Iran 1979, yeah that worked out great!
What’s Russia gonna do? Lose on two fronts instead of just the one?
In Germany we don’t “need” to do taxes as an employee, but you won’t get anything back if you don’t do them. You can usually just do them in some app, send them to the tax office, get some money back and pay the app a tiny fee for the help.
Then again if you own a house or a company or have any income that isn’t taxed as receiving a salary, you better get a tax consultant and those can be pricey.
It’s three fedoras, looked at from the top!
Thank you for making me look, but fuck you for not telling me, it took ages of staring at my screen before I got what was actually depicted.

Sigurd Felix Wolfgang Atreides
Such a weird mishmash of German, Latin and Greek, although Felix is extremely common in Germany too. Sigurd isn’t though, that’s some old germanic kinda name, like Æthelwulf in the anglosphere.
Hey!
I’ll have you know I’m 6’6"
Thank you for your service
