The face is bigger than normal size I think. The proportions of the face itself seem mostly fine, yet the eyes are far too high up his head.
- Comment on Clock logic 4 days ago:
Fun fact: Many countries use both systems actually.
For speaking, it’s quicker to say something like: “The party starts at 8” instead of “The party starts at 20 o’clock”.
For writing though, you would never use the 12 hour system.

I think the only country with as liberal of cannabis regulation is Canada and maybe Thailand. Not sure about other countries.
Medical use is still covered in much of Europe, though as far as I’m aware solely as a last resort for chronic pain. I think medical cannabis can only be consumed through weed pens as well, pharmacies aren’t going to give you joints.
Though I’m fairly sure a doctor would first attempt to find the cause of your insomnia because symptom treatment is of secondary concern. That might make for an uncomfortable first weeks.

None. No European country allows for legal cannabis concentrates.
As for the rest of your requirements: Most, I think? Except for affordable gigabit internet outside a few select countries perhaps.

The Secretary of State is appointed by the President though.
And I’m certain they argued there was no credible information Israel committed gross violations of human rights. Maybe it was only “normal” violations of human rights. Or maybe the information was somewhat incredible. Or maybe the Secretary of State said “LALALALALALALA” and closed their eyes and ears when presented with information so they didn’t technically have it.

It doesn’t really. The only smuggling is for yourself in form of alcohol tourism where those living close to borders drive across and stock up on it.
Alcohol is still available in Sweden, just more expensive. Hardly anyone turns to the black market to get like 30% off.

To be fair, GNU did a ton of work at that time (and today still). GCC and glibc alone are monumental works of software. Add programs like emacs and you now have millions of lines of code you need to develop and maintain.

It’s not meant to be food safe and therefore doesn’t have to abide by any of the usual food safety requirements.
For all you know, the salt lamp could’ve spent a month inside leaded fuel and was only superficially cleaned prior to being sold. Sure, it’s almost certainly not the case but you just do not know how the lamp was handled and whether it has absorbed hazardous contaminants.

That sounds pretty insane tbh
Over here in Germany and probably the entire EU punishments don’t stack.
If you commit multiple crimes doing a single act (e.g. in a bank robbery: violations of weapon law, trespassing, theft, threatening personnel, driving violations…) only the most severe one is prosecuted.
Multiple seperate crimes can stack but the punishment must be strictly less than the sum of punishments if they were prosecuted independently and must be less than 15 years (unless murder is involved).
There is no way in which you can get less time for murder than for attempted murder here.

- Comment on Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal 4 weeks ago:
The government is “social” democrats and “Christian” “democrats”. Both are very tough on crime and very pro corporation.
There’s a reason Germany has some of the most restrictive copyright law in the world. For example, only recently became making certain parodies legal due to a EU law forcing Germany to allow them.
Copyright infringement over here has the same exact punishment range as child kidnapping for non-monetary reasons.
There is a fee for anything that can cause copyright violations paid to copyright collectives including but not limited to storage mediums (CDs, flash drives, hard drives), electronic devices with said storage medium (mobile phones, computers) printers, scanners as well as yearly fees for having publicly accessible printers (for example, 190€ per printer in public libraries, 418€ per printer in universities/colleges) or general fees, like 17,222,621€ paid by the state for continuing the existence of libraries per year (in 2014, today probably significantly more).
Hardly anyone provides free WiFi because you can be sued for the copyright violations of your users. Or rather, you get a cease and desist with the demand to pay 1000€ in damages and if you don’t then you will be sued and lose.
Emulators for modern video games are almost certainly illegal because all modern consoles include DRM you’d need to circumvent to get a game to run on the emulator. This means the development would already be illegal. There hasn’t been any court case though because no emulation developer is based in Germany.
Only since a few years is publishing photos of the interior of your home if your wallpaper is copyrighted legal. Prior to that, you’d always lose if you were sued in Hamburg.
Hamburg has also ruled the website youtube-dl.org was illegal and that youtube-dl violates copyright. Sony and others successfully sued the hosting provider and were granted damages.
There’s probably a million more things but copyright in Germany is generally fucked. There’s no way any politician that has ever been in government will do anything that doesn’t further strengthen copyright.

Long-distance trains aren’t covered by the ticket, only regional trains.
For example, the trip Munich -> Berlin would take around 10-11 hours with 5-6 different trains you need to catch. If you paid for a long-distance train it would be 4.5 hours with no changes.
- Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron 5 weeks ago:
Really?
Over here in Germany refusing to return items which someone contractually entrusted you is a misdemeanor. You would be treated like, say, a car repair shop who refuses to return your car you entrusted them to repair.
This differs from not paying debt, in that case you are legally in possession (not ownership though!) of whatever indebted item so the only recourse is a civil lawsuit. Besides, repossession can only be done through a court-ordered official:
Due to the state’s monopoly on the use of force, foreclosure may only be carried out by state foreclosure bodies, such as bailiffs. With the exception of permitted self-help, unauthorized foreclosure by the creditor is prohibited and is generally unlawful as vigilante justice.
This translation sucks btw, the term “foreclosure” is inaccurate because it refers to a court ordered official either seizing money/stocks/investments and/or physical valuables (valuables = items not required for a modest lifestyle such as jewelry, designer clothes, fancy non-IKEA furniture etc) or foreclosing your property. In case of specific debt like your car they would probably seize that instead unless you demonstrate you rely on it to get to work unless it could be substituted with a cheaper car which would then be provided in exchange.

Can’t they just file a police report suggesting you stole it? It’s the government’s job then and since the police barely have to investigate anything they are sure to actually do something. That’s a quick way to get a search warrant filed.

AI was never more than algorithms which could be argued to have some semblance of intelligence somewhere. It’s sole purpose was marketing by scientists to get funding.
Since the 60s everything related to neural networks is classified as AI. LLMs are neural networks, therefore they fall under the same label.

- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 1 month ago:
Notice how the developer argues he forbids packages and how the AIR is in violation of this? But an AUR PKGBUILD is not a package - it’s build instructions. It doesn’t distribute or package anything, you can check it yourself. It’s not called “PKG” for a reason. He misunderstands his own license and believes the allegedly broken PKGBUILD violates it.
He may be right about some users annoying him with bug reports though I’d be surprised if it was that common. It seems like he got a couple of reports, noticed the “forbidden” PKGBUILD and then reacted like this. Just like when changing the license from GPL to CC-BY-NC-ND in order to combat… GPL violations and trademark infringements?
Frankly, the project has not had parricularly stable leadership in a while. Though a bit unfair of a comparison, compare it to Dolphin and you can see a night and day difference in project management.
