An archive of my tweets and retweets through . They may be formatted slightly differently than on Twitter. API access has since gotten prohibitively expensive – I don't know whether or when I'll be able to update this archive.

Maybe you should add lessons on grammar and take them yourself.
“entlang ging” Das schreibt man zusammen. duden.de/rechtschreibun… Solche Fehler machen Sie öfter in Artikeln.
„Mittlerweile“ ist leider falsch, es gab schließlich lange den Wehrdienst und Zivi.

Es sollte eigentlich heißen: „Einmal im Leben gezwungen werden, etwas für andere zu tun.“

China is also a disgusting authoritarian state that bolts people’s apartment doors shut to enforce lockdowns. I’d like to know your comment on that.
Not being able to think of better alternatives – or, more broadly speaking, pessimism – is a prime motivator of statism. twitter.com/michaelmalice/…

you weren’t banned, they just throttled your requests, and it wasn’t for writing JS but because you sent too many requests, as the http response code says.
pick a pair of any three
if they’re the same, only two are left, which you can then weigh directly
if they’re not, pick any two from the heavier three
if they’re the same, it’s the one left over; if not, well, you can see which one’s heavier

allein es als übervermögen zu bezeichnen ist parasitär
Leider gibt es selbst in den USA, dem vermeintlichen Land der Freiheit, Anstrengungen, eine Vermoegenssteuer einzufuehren (seitens der Senatorin Elizabeth Warren). Ich fuerchte, kein Buerger auf der Welt ist sicher vor dem Parasitismus seiner jeweiligen Regierung.
Wieso eine Vermoegenssteuer generell eine ganz schlechte Idee ist: blog.dennishackethal.com/posts/wealth-t…
Ganz genau. Der amerikanische Politiker Ron Paul (umschrieben): Entwicklungshilfe ist, wenn die Armen eines reichen Landes dazu gezwungen werden, die Reichen eines armen Landes zu finanzieren.
Ekelhaft. Die Deutschen sind den Politikern ausgeliefert.
Dann soll er eben keine Buerger dazu zwingen, dafuer zu bezahlen, wenn ihm der Otto-Normalverbraucher doch so sehr am Herzen liegt.
Und der Fraktionschef der Linken, Dietmar Bartsch: „Wir brauchen eine europaweite Beteiligung der Superreichen. Es darf nicht sein, dass der normale Steuerzahler, der schon unter Inflation und Energiepreisen leidet, allein auch die Kriegsrechnung bezahlen muss.“
Nein: “Die Ukraine wünscht sich von Deutschland 500 Millionen Dollar pro Monat, um das Land durch den Krieg zu bringen. SPD-Chefin Saskia Esken hat eine Idee, wie das dafür nötige Geld eingetrieben werden könnte.”

Well, if even thinking of leaving is already disaster, changing the relationship to one where thinking of leaving is okay may not be so easy. So the word “just” seems misplaced here, and I don’t agree that this solution is “obvious”.
