Pff, ich bleibe dabei: dunkler Hintergrund ist was für Kellerkinder. Ist der Bildschirm zu hell, ist das Zimmer zu dunkel.
Derart verzweifelte Wahlwerbung sehe ich zum ersten Mal o.O
…
Das erinnert mich an eine Werbung, die irgendwann um 2008 rum, als die Wirtschaftskrise im Gange war, im Fernsehen kam. Statt die supertollen Produkte des Herstellers anzupreisen (irgendein Schmieröl, glaube ich), lautete der Kern der Nachricht “bitte, bitte, kauft unsere Produkte, wir gehen sonst pleite!”. Den Spot hab ich nur ein einziges Mal gesehen.
Manchmal frage ich mich, ob mir mein Gedächtnis einen Streich gespielt hat, oder es sie tatsächlich gab und es die Firma schlicht nicht mehr gibt.
Bei Betrachtung der OS-Marktanteile über alle Plattformen (d.h. PCs bzw. Laptops, Smartphones und Tablets) fällt auf, dass in erster Linie der Anteil von Windows stark ab- während der von Android stark zugenommen hat. Sprich, immer weniger Windows-Nutzer haben einen Bedarf für herkömmliche Rechner und sind bereits mit Smartphone und ggf. Tablet bedient.
Linux hat zwar auch beim Gesamtmarktanteil ganz gut zugelegt (von 1,59% auf 2,33% in 12 Monaten), aber (auch relativ) weniger, als der reine Blick auf den Desktopmarkt vermuten ließe.
Would it really be that great for the EU, though? After all, the UK was never particularly fond of the European idea generally and further integration (i.e. federalization) in particular, to put it mildly. My biggest fear is the UK might go back blocking just about anything that goes beyond simple trade deals.
So, imho, the EU would be better off it the UK simply rejoined the common market, but not the political union. We have more than enough dissent, as is.
I can certainly give it a try.
manucode beat me to it. Anyhow:
The channel you’ve been watching is probably a/the tv channel for children (by Austrian public broadcast services, most likely). At night, when children are supposed to be sleeping, they don’t have any real programmes and instead loop a clip specifically made for this purpose starring that loaf of bread.
The bread itself is called “Bernd das Brot” (Bernd the bread) and was created by the german tv channel called kika (Kinder Kanal, literally children channel in English). I’m not sure in which show he first appeared in (there have been quite a few, plus some movies), but he’s been a recurring character for over 20 years now, afaik. Oh and Bernd is a typically depressed loaf of bread who would prefer to be left alone so he could stare at woodchip wallpaper all the time. Unfortunately for him, he is typically accompanied/bothered by at least two other characters – Briegel the Bush and Chili the sheep, a crazy inventor and an equally crazy stunt err sheep, respectively. Bernd tends to be the butt of more than a few jokes.
We do, and Ireland, Denmark and Poland have gotten opt-outs, too (link). The United Kingdom, however, was so extreme about it, that Wikipedia dedicated an entire article just to their opt-outs.
The UK was no founding member of the EU by choice, if I remember correctly. And later on, they only joined due to the financial prospects, not the underlying idea(ls). They always acted as though they were special when they were part of the union (see aforementioned opt-outs) and completely lost it during the Brexit negotiations, when they acted as though they had some sort of leverage over the entire EU. I quite like CGP Grey’s video on the topic: youtube.com
In my opinion, the French were right when they didn’t want the British to join the union; most of their initial reservations did come true, after all. So, if the UK rejoined the common market without joining the EU, like Norway, for example, that would be fine by me. But no more.
As long as the British do not change their overall stance to the EU much more (and come to terms with their non-specialness), anyway.
You’re getting downvoted because, for all their faults, the SPD is not run by fascists, quasi-fascists or “morally conflicted fascist-adjacent”. Neither has this ever been the case, nor is it going to happen in the foreseeable future. You’re not even in the ballpark of correct. Best case scenario is that you like to use the word “fascist” inflationarily. But even that wouldn’t be much better, as it effectively downplays the threat of and the horrors committed by actual fascists.
If you’d referred to the SPD as a party run by something like a cumulation of unimaginative, spineless and corrupt conservatives larping as social democrats, there’d be some grounds for discussion. This, instead, just makes you look like a troll.
To be honest, I’m only replying because I do not want your comment to stand on its own.

Why do we only seem to get the bad outlandish things from books and movies? :/
