"Dieselgate is the biggest scandal in VW's history"

Because having 80% of their workforce as slave labour at the company's inception is just par for the course in Germany

Can anyone point me to resources/threads on police alternatives? Putting together a discussion group with some colleagues on the subject.

You don't have to do the specific examples I gave; the point of the exercise is to think about what you'll do even if it's not those specific things. Only you can decide what it is you're going to do but you do have to do something more than run away, walk on by, or stand paralyzed in fear and uncertainty.

It's OK to be afraid and feel feelings but we must also try to be brave and take action even as our hands quake

If you're white, I want you to imagine you are seeing someone be taken by ICE. I want you to see yourself getting in the way. Physically stopping ICE from doing this. Blockading the truck. Standing there. Tackling the officer. Would you stand by and watch SS take someone in germany? NO! Could you live with yourself if you did nothing? Will there be consequences to you for doing this? Yes. Do those consequences outweigh the life of this person if you do nothing? No

I went through "active bystander training" meant to stop you from freezing up in a crisis so you can take action to help others. The idea is to counter the "bystander effect" where you freeze up assuming someone else is going to help.

There's an exercise in it where you imagine you first think of a scenario where you would need to take action, think of what that action would be, then imagine you are in that scenario & picture yourself taking action

Lolwat, Eine "Achse Berlin-Wien-Rom gegen Flüchtlinge"? Planung von Flüchtlingslager im östlichen Ausland? Alter, Nachrichten lesen war heute nicht clever.

so un, does anyone know where I can do #target #archery in #berlin? Boosts appreciated

Seriously, don't post / boost images (with or without text in it) without DESCRIPTION, especially when your toot only makes sense, if one can SEE it.

Unfollowing for the worst cases now.

Can anyone please spare some testosterone blockers or estrogen in Berlin in the next 2 weeks? Plz and thank you.

Turns out the Marshmallow Test is strongly affected by economic status, and is therefore debunked as a universal test of child development:
"Affluence—not willpower—seems to be what’s behind some kids' capacity to delay gratification."

I currently am uninsured in Germany and have 11 days left of testosterone blockers and don't know how I will get more. 4 weeks ago I was off of t blockers for a month and it fucked me up, the worst thing was hair on my face growing in, undoing many laser sessions work.

I want to go to London in the next 11 days, to get health care and an EHIC for Germany, and to make sure I don't go off t blockers again. But I have no money.

Plz donate, pm me for info.
