@jomo @netzpolitik_feed Wenig realistisch bei der Netzgröße. Dann hast du alle 100m nen Cop stehen. Ob das besser ist?
@PersonOfInterest @netzpolitik_feed es muss ja gar nicht flächendeckend sein. Und Strafen können auch abschreckend wirken. Fahrverbot in Kombination mit dem in Vergessenheit geratenen § 48 StVO wären zB. deutlich sinnvollere Maßnahmen, als ein festes Bußgeld.

Maybe I'm really cheap by I object to spending 58p on each Tesco branded condom. It really adds up over a weekend. I wish Aldi did own branded condoms.
@fesshole we're seeing live how OP learned that a condom is not necessary to jerk off.
Happy voting day folks!
Slowly emptying a bookshelf over at dad's place every week and sorting them out at my place to see if they're of any value and if not I can donate them to the thrift store. 99,99% of those books aren't really valuable, it's amazing how many you can find for 1 euro over at Vinted. There's a lot of books, 8 bookcases full... the thrift stores are going to be very happy.
Sometimes I glance at the first few pages of a book if the theme seems somewhat interesting enough. And if one makes me smile or snigger, maybe I should keep that book a little bit longer in my possession until I'm sure on whether I'm really going to read them or not.
That first scene in Captain's Corelli's Mandoline was so absurd enough that I won't get rid of that one quite yet. I actually kinda want to know how that ends. Just don't know when I'll actually go read it, I need to get rid of the nicotine smell first, ugh.

Dernier exemple en date avec Alexandre Portier, député LR du Rhône et visiblement président de la commission des affaires culturelles et de l'éducation, "voltairien dans l'âme [et] attaché à la liberté d'expression" pour défendre CNEWS, mais qui pensait que le terme "identité de genre" ne devait pas avoir "sa place dans nos écoles" et qui quelques jours plus tôt appelait les "plate-formes" à censurer les posts avec des images de flics dans les manifs, sans parler de sa défense sur la loi d'interdiction des réseaux sociaux aux moins de 15 ans https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:rw7u7xswqiobimxqjzjrkh37/post/3mzfyivxt5c2a

C'est quand même toujours fascinant de voir que ceux qui défendent le plus la liberté d'expression de manière abstraite et hurlent partout à la censure sont souvent les premiers à vouloir faire taire toute critique, contestation, interdire à la jeunesse, etc.
