And you really think "the elites" are the ones buying and selling here?

Yes, they have a lot of wealth in stocks, but usually they simply own a large chunk of their (or their parents) company and the rest is managed by a fund manager. And if you have millions or billions, you don't need to think quarter to quarter.

What happened to librem anyway? They used to be all the rage, now it's nothing.

One part is a reverse game of chicken, buy the dippest dip to realize most profit from less dippy dip buyers.

The other part is the assumption that this means the tariffs will never actually come or at least in a much relaxed form.

I mean, "safest" is a superlative, not a positive. It's perfectly possible that all other pipelines ruptured three times or more.

Not to sound confrontational, but you're way too focused on your - likely rather advanced - usage.

90% of people search for very simple stuff. They want to know the weather or want to know about that new movie they don't quite remember the name of. And for that use case, Google is perfectly serviceable. And since people are used to it, for example by it being the default on most platforms, they use it.

A lot of market leaders are objectively a bad choice, but they're a known brand. Coca cola, McDonald's, Oracle, etc.

Das ist aber trotzdem eine eher unorthodoxe Vorstellung von Demokratie.

Du kannst nicht einfach die Grundgesamtheit nach Gutdünken bestimmen. Und vor allem kannst du nicht die Wahlergebnisse von einer Gruppe auf eine demografisch vollkommen andere Gruppe übertragen.

Naja, das ist schon etwas stark vereinfachend.

Wer nicht wählen kann - sei es aus alters- oder staatsrechtlichen Gründen, kann nicht für oder gegen irgendwas stimmen. Die dann in die Rechnung einzubeziehen, ist in diesem Falle ein bisschen unredlich.

No, they actually got a pretty good reputation. They're a big corporation with probably hundreds of devs in their HQ. It's not unlikely that a whole bunch of devs came into town specifically because of them or were hired straight out of university.

Actually, they might do that.

Also genau das gewollte Signal.

"Wegen der sogenannten Mitte, hat Deutschland damals funktioniert"

Otto is generally surprisingly backwards. They still can't even handle multiple vendors in a single invoice. That means, if you buy five items, but two of them are from independent sellers, you'll not only pay for shipping three times (somewhat understandable), but you'll also get three different invoices that you have to pay separately. It's 2025, and 90% of all software devs in Hamburg have worked for Otto at some point, and they still can't get their shit together.

That is ...

Surprisingly deep.

Er meinte "mit der AfD halbieren", also die Macht im Land.

Pronouns are not adjectives, they're pronouns.

Maybe I'm talking weird, but how often do you refer to yourself by any non-reflexive pronoun?

It's not gatekeeping, it's a medical definition.

What's so hard to understand about that?

You're not OCD because you sorted Skittles by color once either.

But trauma, as I understand it, is more like a broken bone

That's a medical trauma, yes. But the situation described here is a light bruise at best.

Yes, these terms encompass a range of severities, but at some point you have to say "No, Terry, a broken nail is not a trauma, and you can't go to the emergency room because of it".

People love the feeling of being super empathetic if they support this language. And others love the feeling of self victimization.

And the actual victims don't get the attention they need, because Terry cries about having made a bad joke yesterday.

Of course there is. As I wrote above: if everything is a trauma, nothing is.

You can't just expand the meaning of a well defined word just because you like the vibe of it applying to the victim group of the day.

... And that in turn means the term is practically meaningless - as you can see in the example above.
