No. Hard No. The progressive Germany we (I live here) have today was fought AGAINST those that continued to shape Germany even after the war. A strong shift was the 68 movement that specifically questioned why people who worked in administrative positions under Hitler continued to work in sometimes the same positions in West Germany. And also it was not because the Germans were the one calling the shots. A lot of the democratic reforms were only possible in the first place because those Germans that championed them were backed by the guns of the allied forces.

And honestly most problems we currently have are exactly because of remnants from Nazi times that weren’t sufficiently destroyed.

And so currently we have exactly the same problem so many others have: conservatives who don’t conserve anything but rather are regressive and want back to a “good old days” that never existed

The number was reassigned because Bond was not in the MI6 at that time, yes.

Oh I like the pumpkin making faces as well!

Can you give me directions where that planet is with the same countries?

Could be from somebody who is blocked by you or your instance. You could try opening the post from another Lemmy server and try to see it then.

And if the comment is blocked, then all replies are also blocked for you.

First the costumes, some people really put a lot of work into costumes. Second the “scary” atmosphere. And it’s fall. I love fall.

Nerd!

Ouch, not being able to taste is a harsh punishment

Nope, the red flag is easy to recognise.

ICO and Shadow of the Colossus don’t have a lot of dialogue, but what they have is in a fantasy language with subtitles for you to understand

Sorry but that sounds so American. Are you USAmerican?

Because nearly every other first world country in the world doesn’t have at will, but rather worker rights to have a certain notice period.

Hey, currently it’s not our police that is collecting people, putting them in camps and having them vanish from there.

I really feel like Bart here right now.

Oh hell yes. There is still a lot to improve, but we shouldn’t forget what has already been gained!

Passports for everyone are a relatively new invention, but passports as sign of being the emissary of somebody important are much older. Paiza is one such example in the Mongols empire. Wikipedia has examples reaching into antiquity.

500+ years ago there very much was border control, at least in certain parts of the world, because every regional lord wants to control what goes into his kingdom and what leaves. I can only speak for Europe, but probably every feudal lord over the world did the same. They levied taxes on merchants transporting goods through their kingdom. That happened on border checkpoints where the big merchant routes where passing through. This is how a lot of regions got rich: by being between a source and a big buyer region and taxing the shit out of merchants.

That’s why smuggling was so attractive. Go through the official road and pay 10% of your profits or pay this nice man with the donkey 5% and he leads you through the woods on a path the lord’s soldiers don’t patrol…

Secondly, in feudal Europe 500 years ago, peasants were still often the property of their lords, they weren’t allowed to leave the country. Another reason why border control existed. So no, most normal people could not just leave and travel to another kingdom.

Interesting, thanks for your perspective!

I would say if you only say Doch! as answer in German, it’s more kind of a stubborn, planting your feet in the ground, “come at me” response instead of ignoring.

Begriff + s + assoziativität + s + kombinatorik

Word/term + s + associativity + s + combinatoric

So it is the combinatoric of associativity between words.

The “s” in there are just for easier speaking, which itself has a compoundword name: Fugen-s, so literally translated: Joint-s

Doch, from German and its main use is expresseing a positive statement in opposition to a prior negative one. For pronunciation, use Wiktionary.

So if you say: “you can’t win the game by cheating” and I say “Doch!” I express “yes I can!”. But neatly in one single word with one syllable, which is why it’s often used by children as single counter to something their parents say.

It’s exactly what they described in English. It’s that nonsense just expressed in German and written together because you are allowed to simply combine multiple words into one compound word in German. There is no “real meaning” to it. Or not yet, feel free to start using it and give it any meaning you want. If it catches on, it has a meaning from then on.

Check their other posts lately. It’s somebody on a mission, in the original religious sense of the word, here on the fediverse to bring their version of God to us heathens and nonbelievers. But at least they are not aggressive from what I have seen till now.

Yeah for sure an important concept to think about. But you can ask that completely without the misogyny. Or the religion. I mean what can you trust is one of the biggest metaphysical question in philosophy for a reason.
