It is mostly the same parties sitting in government as back in Weimar when they helped Hitler ban the biggest competition. I am quite sure some of them even date back to our last Kaiser (not the soccer one). What is a single person to do ag

In Germany there were at least half a dozen members of parliament caught with their hands in the cookie jar for the money meant to buy masks alone. It would be interesting to see how many more used it to enrich themselves but the decisions

The remastered edition of Command and Conquer also used AI up scaling for the cut scenes. They lost the original recordings and the videos from the PlayStation release were the best they could track down. The result is far from perfect but

I am not claiming that the CCP meetings are full of drunks, I am just asking how far "excessive" alcohol consumption is supposedly accepted behavior. I would be seriously surprised if that was accepted. Sorry for not being clear a

Because that completely replaces the front page of the news site, a page people normally visit just to find out if there are any articles worth reading. I can see how that leads to less ad impressions on the news site itself if people only
