Would you drive a Tesla because it’s free? I wouldn’t. Sure, getting a free car sounds great, but I’m not gonna be a walking billboard for Tesla and basically help them shove even more cash down their greedy throat.
It’s called having a conscience and some morals.
It’s probably not the most poetic, but I like it:
Luftschloss
It literally means „air castle“. It’s a castle made entirely out of air. It looks stunning and grand in your imagination or when you talk about it, but it’s not real.
It’s like having a dream or a vision that sounds great but is completely unrealistic or impossible to achieve.
In English, you might say „pipe dream“ or „castle in the air“, but „Luftschloss“ sounds way more poetic and fragile, evoking something beautiful yet intangible.
There’s another one which is similar, but not the same:
Hirngespinst
The literal transition would be a delicate web spun by your mind. In Englisch you’d probably also say „pipe dream“, but there’s a subtle difference between „Luftschloss“ and „Hirngespinst“.
„Hirngespinst“ is more like an absurd or even silly idea you came up with. By contrast, a „Luftschloss“ tends to describe a beautiful but unrealistic vision with a broader, often more hopeful scope.
Amazon? Really? I could come up with several reasons why not to partner with Jeff Bezos and supporting trump it’s just one of them.
„AI is creating uncertainty for all of us, and we can respond to this with fear or curiosity.“
How about we respond to this with reason?
If you’d seen any cooking videos on TikTok you’d know that you’re threatening me with a good meal.
Whose life though? If all people are dead who knew about the goat fucking, then you might lose that „title“. ;)
I’m not even sure if this is relevant. What is relevant though: we are all burned out and instead of asking who’s the most burned out we should probably fight the cause, because that’s the same for all generations: capitalism
It’s getting even more ridiculous, Alpha is the new beta, sigmas are on the rise!
Why is the first Wurst farting?

Please tell me with spaces is correct! It looks horrible without.
It’s insane that humans still think about how to maximise profit while our environment is destroyed exactly because of that profit.
I use magic earth for routing
I’m not so sure about that. I could easily imagine him thinking “that’s just Europe, we can win this”.
I’m fairly sure that he thinks the same about Canada, but that’s probably just too close to home to start a war. The US prefers to fight far away from home.
Right, shift the blame to the parents. Not the corporations targeting young kids and teenagers. No, the parents are supposed to watch their children and all of their devices 24/7. Growing up will soon feel like the Truman show. Privacy for children and teenagers? Hell no, parents need to be scared constantly because their kids could encounter something online which might make them suicidal because corporations don’t need to have any ethics or moral and they are surely not responsible for what their product causes.
Where do we go from here?
Cars that aren’t working correctly and could cause accidents? The driver is responsible!
Food which is contaminated and could cause death. The one eating it is responsible!
Welcome to the lovely new world where profit is everything and a human life is worth nothing.
It’s not fine. If it was, then I wouldn’t degoogle.
I accept if someone wants to still support certain companies by using there products and services, but I don’t think it’s fine.
I’ll probably get a lot of downvotes for this, but why exactly should I send a thank-you email?
What about the potential employer – why don’t they send one to me? I took the time to prepare my application, sent them all my documents, and showed up for the interview.
I’m not begging for a job – I’m applying for one. They’re looking for someone who will generate more value for the company than they’ll pay in salary. That’s a business transaction, not charity.
So again – why should I be the one to send a thank-you email?
Personally, I think it’s enough to thank them in person during the interview.
Why does this look like an angry log is biting into some leg or arm?
