The perfect metaphor for the fediverse doesn't exis...

(From faculty slack)

Particpant 1:  So the greatest conference experience happened to me last week. They were holding our conference at the same venue as an anime convention. This meant that interspersed with all the stodgy roboticists were a ton of people in awesome costumes! The whimsy was incredible. All conferences should be this way, it was way more fun. 

A photo follows of three  roboticists taking a selfie with a person in a cosplay constume 

Participant 2 (me): This is exactly what Mastodon is like

@MariaLiv You've probably tried everything, but ... I can recommend a Swopper. - It takes some getting used to - but I never looked back (tiny pun).

Swopper chair.

Ja, das macht Sinn und ist eine gute Idee.

Man sollte meinen, dass sich die Lappen von den Volksparteien wenigstens schämen würden: Solange sie aber mit Geldkoffern, Maskendeals, Aufsichtsratspositionen und Beratungsgeldern immer mehr Geld beiseite legen können, wird das nichts. Zur Erinnerung:

"Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar. Sie zu achten und zu schützen ist Verpflichtung aller staatlichen Gewalt."

Let's do it the way where we pretend it doesn't happen, then the billionaires panic, and we end up in gated communities with powerful people starting wars over diminishing resources!

@PWS_1

Und vielleicht sollte man auch einmal darüber nachdenken, Menschen (Deutschen wie Immigranten) mehr psychosoziale Hilfe zukommen zu lassen: Wenn jemand im psychischen Ausnahmezustand entlassen wird und dann mit einem Messer/Auto andere verletzt, läuft etwas falsch in der präventiven Versorgung.

You're 100% correct: They burn everything to the ground and then blame anybody but themselves.

They're not hurting enough.

[...] Despite his misgivings about the immigration crackdown, Dustin Machia says he doesn’t regret voting for Trump.
“I’d still do it again. I like a lot of his policies,” Machia said. "I feel he’s more for the rural people like us, the middle-class type person."

@Tendar

Schröder once called Putin "lupenreiner Demokrat" (flawless democrat) - no wonder: he's been on the Kreml's payroll for a while now.

Schröder is a good example of problems with corruption in the German government.
