  • Sometimes I am completely at awe how bad politicians are in playing chess. Look at Merz, for example.

    He could have said “yeah, you know, we are in a coalition with the SPD, they were always against sending Taurus. So, we benched the topic until a later time, as we need to solve issues at hand, getting the government startet and all.”
    People would have been fine. That would be believable.
    But then, he could have send a few dozend of the Taurus anyhow. Let the Ukraine plan a one time big attack on multiple important targets. Have them do it.
    And then, when it becomes clear that it had been Taurus the were used, and Merz got asked why he “lied” or didn’t say, he could have gone like “oh swell, Putin is fucking lying every day. Grow up, guys, this is a war and i wont explain my plans to you beforehand. Next question?”

    But nu-uh. Everything gets spoilered months before anything might happen. Russia knows, prepares accordingly.

    Loosers.









  • …reminds me of a trip with a cab back in 2010ish.

    Two friends of mine and i went from Kladno to Prague via cab - a 30km ride. Cabdriver told us what this will cost, we took the ride. Cabdriver went well under the speed limit on the highway and it was clear early on: this ass wants to scam us.

    Once we arrive he asked for double the price he initially asked to get. We gave him exactly what was agreed upon at the start and he threatened to call the cops. We told him “good luck” and “fuck you” and let him scream at us while we disappeared into the crowds of the downtown area.

    Good times.
