Als Liberaler würde ich sagen wenn mir jemand vermittelt, dass er seine eigenen Gedanken weniger sinnvoll findet als die von einer KI werd ich das akzeptieren…auch wenn ich natürlich anderer Meinung bin 😬

Ich hoff aber ehrlich die Leute lernen bald mit KI richtig umzugehen. Es nervt halt einfach. 😅

Ich fühl mich schon eine Zeit lang ähnlich.

Sofern es für dich möglich ist, würd ich empfehlen das nicht nur privat sondern auch im Berufsleben umzusetzen. :)

I would rather advise the Irish to buy NATO equipment and take their tax haven money to invest into their regular industrial capacity as a first step.

AFAIK if you look passed the tax haven bolstered GDP numbers they are not doing as well as it seems.

Reasonable gamble, fellow train traveller. Unfortunately you have chosen poorly. 😔

It seems the operator decided to let *both* delayed ICEs pass and sacrifice the regional train giving it a 35 minute delay.

Resolution:
Took the first ICE from Plattling and bought a ticket.
Have been travelling for 6 hours already. Just wanna get home.

Secret third gamble: The completely correct (although illegal) one would have been to take the ICE and not buy a ticket since it didn't get checked anyway.

B) Take one of the ICEs directly from Plattling to Vienna.

This will cost me an extra 25€ and the shame of rewarding DB with more money for providing unreliable service.

As you can see the stakes are high. What would you choose in this situation?

A) Take the regional train to Passau for free with my D-Ticket and hope I catch one of the delayed ICEs to continue onto Vienna for free with my Klimaticket.

For this I have to trust DB that they are not going to let the ICE pass the Regional train: They are currently saying that they wont.

Eines Tages haben wir in Österreich auch das Klimaticket UND genug Angebot um Reservierungen unnötig zu machen.

…hoffentlich noch bevor ich in Pension gehe 😵‍💫

To me it seems to be pretty likely that this is exactly what Russia wants.

So before we do so we have to be absolutely sure that it‘s the right call strategically.

Are you absolutely sure?

Wie sehen Sie die Spekulationen, dass Russland einen Abschuss ihres Kampfjets provozieren will um genügend Rückhalt in der Bevölkerung für eine Mobilmachung zu haben?
(Diese würde sich in dem Fall auch nur auf Kämpfe in der Ukraine beziehen.)

Yes sir 🫡

Probably better to name and share his take rather than calling him „some analysts“ :P 😂

In my view the average Russian knows that the Kremlin is lying to them.
They just underestimate the extent of it 😅

NATO-provocations seem ridiculous, even if you don‘t have access to free media.

My hope: Russians know more than ever that something is seriously wrong with their government.

Some analysts see recent Russian aggression as provoking NATO for a kinetic response, so that he can call for a mobilisation without too much public backlash.

It‘s probably wishful thinking on my part, but maybe ordinary Russians see this as a possibility too 🤔
