I don't think if the average looter actually hates whites.
He is just happy to get stuff for free and laughs at the incompetence of the state officials and the white retards who champion for & protect him.

The agitators are a different story though of course.

Also realize it's not fine to call a fat pig a fat pig. Because how dare you how someone looks?

But at the same time it is fine to make fun of Trump as "orange man". The left is just full of hypocrits.

Merkel is a pure career politician.
She is the successor of Kohl who was a decent chancellor (reunification of Germany, ...). It was basically a mentorship. She was prepped to be the next chancellor candidate for the CDU (her party).

Merkel herself has successfully eliminated all opposition within her party. There was absolutely no alternative to her in the CDU.
Which actually is a big problem for her party right now, since we will vote again this year. And all possible candidates are utter shit.

People praise her constantly for being "calm and collected and never overreacting."

What really happens is that she usually waits a few days until she makes a public statement. Then the statement is exactly tailored to what the majority of people think. It's a fabricated statement to make sure her ratings stay up. It's basically impossible to know what she really thinks about an issue.

The only big exception is her "refugees welcome" in 2015. And it backfired immensely, and accelerated the rise of the AfD (right wingers) in Germany.

I'm German and that's just wrong. There was one politician who wanted to do that but he got shut down quite fast and backpaddled. Police cannot enter your home without reason/question.

It also wouldn't make sense why they should be allowed to. It's completely legal to meet with others in your home.
Sure the corona guidelines are written in such a way that they seem to suggest that you can only meet with 5 people from 2 households. But if you read the official order you see that this is just a suggestion. I should mention that most people do not read the order and thus think they have to isolate themselves.
But that's on their own stupidity to trust the media.

The second largest Christian group here in Germany is Lutheran Protestantism with ~25% of the population. Only Roman-Catholic is more popular with ~27%.

Female pastors are allowed in in the Lutheran church and it's completely normal here to have one.

That said - this doesn't even look close to a normal church service to me as well.

Also one less "debate". And a "cool" debate topic that was shoved down into your face so more important things weren't talked about.

We don't use voting machines in Germany.

In general we don't vote for a person, but for a party. That party then decides on their chancellor candidate and the governing parties decide who of their candidates gets the chancellor spot (the party with more votes gets it).

The problem is that there's basically no one else to vote for in Germany. We have Die Linke (socialists, ex communists), Grüne (green party, full of retards), FDP (liberals), SPD (socialists), CDU (Merkel's party "conservative") and since a few years AfD (more right than the CDU).

The media effectively managed to give the AfD the "nazi party" title. Thus every other party has vowed not to form a coalition with them.

So it's impossible to get the AfD into the government (they'd need 50%+ of the votes, which is basically impossible in a multi party system). They are the biggest opposition party right now.

So who else to vote for? CDU and FDP are the only options and the FDP often struggles to get above the necessary 5% of votes (if you get less than 5% you are not part of the government). If you don't vote for the CDU you will immediately get a Ex-Communist/Green & Socialist government. Don't have to tell you what that would mean.

Genetic programming is a method to optimize non-linear problems.

You have a set of starting values. You have a fitness function that you can plug the values in.
You can let starting values "mate" with each other and let them basically produce "children". Kids with bad/worse fitness are ignored while you focus on the fit ones.
This reduces the search space since full depth/breadth first search is not feasible.

The process of mating can be quite easy (just take the average of both parents) or complicated. You definitely have the skill to work on the problems.

Combinatorics is just statistics (so math). Stuff like: If you draw 4 cards out of a card deck (52 cards), and you get 2 aces and a king what's the probability for that?

Genetic algorithms are used in programming and is used for optimization. You have multiple variables that you can assign values to. You plug those values in a "fitness" function and get a value representing those values' fitness (how good your optimization is). Now you have 10 different set of starting values and let them "mate" with each other. Their "children" are examined in regards to their fitness. Those with bad fitness die off and the rest get to "mate" again. After enough generations you will have very fit kids left (so pretty well optimized).

Integer solvers basically means your values in the above problem (from the genetic algorithm) are integers (integer numbers, no real/rational numbers). You use optimization algorithms (like genetic programming) to solve them.

They're not journalists.

Journalist: "After his speech VP Pence left the room without answering any questions of the present 'journalists'" (if you want to be snarky add what questions were asked).

Fanboy: "You are all part of not recognizing democracy!" That is a personal judgement and has nothing to do with reporting. It's not even asking a question.

The "Overwriting Hard Drive Data: The Great Wiping Controversy" paper published 2008 claims you are wrong.
You can easily find a copy on google-scholar with the help of sci-hub.

To quote: "The purpose of this paper was a categorical settlement to the controversy surrounding the misconceptions involving the belief that data can be recovered following a wipe procedure. This study has demonstrated that correctly wiped data cannot reasonably be retrieved even if it is of a small size or found only over small parts of the hard drive. Not even with the use of a MFM or other known methods. The belief that a tool can be developed to retrieve gigabytes or terabytes of information from a wiped drive is in error. [...] Further, there is a need for the data to have been written and then wiped on a raw unused drive for there to be any hope of any level of recovery even at the bit level, which does not reflect real situations. It is unlikely that a recovered drive will have not been used for a period of time and the interaction of defragmentation, file copies and general use that overwrites data areas negates any chance of data recovery. The fallacy that data can be forensically recovered using an electron microscope or related means needs to be put to rest."

Some Nazis did join similar demonstrations in the past (like in Leipzig) and walked with the rest of the protestors while showing their flags. So it's partially true (don't know about today, but I would assume similar).

But it's also easier to generalize all of the protestors and group everyone under the term Nazi. Because it's done for the same reason why you guys are always Nazis in the US. It's easy to dismiss your opinion when they dismiss you as a person.

He couldn't stop. Stalin was already planning to move west and the Soviets wouldn't have stopped in Poland.

And who wouldn't helped Germany in that case? The instigator and loser of WW1? France, UK & the US would've ignored it just like they ignored Germany taking back the Sudetenland.

Yep, people with a STEM degree that get high paying jobs after university will have to pay their student debts.

Only the unemployable blue haired degenerates get a free ride. And that's the reason for it. Those people will not work a regular job. They will continue to undermine the stability of the US. It's a free recruitment center for the socialists.

So they keep it a viable option to get a worthless degree.

If I were Iran or NK I would double my efforts - maybe even talk to Trump - to get some nuclear weapons until 20th Jan.

Wonder who the target of the Dems would be then.

Reporter: "[...] supporters, that followed him even ran after him. They understandably went wild, one has to say that, those who saw Donald Trump here live."

Guy: "Look here Germany. Look here quickly. It happens now. This happens now"

Reporter: "So, we do have one of the supporters? [slightly raised tone to indicate a question, he's not 100% sure] Can you tell us what exactly is happening here in your opinion?

Guy: "Yes, well you can just look with your eyes. It just happens"

Reporter: "Yeah and we described that just now. Thousands of Trump supporters are here and can we continue to show this [the latter is directed at his camera man]. Thank you [to the guy] for now, we will come to you soon." [sounds wrong in English, it's as in they will talk to him again shortly after and I'm too drunk to think of the correct translation]

Merkel doesn't lead. She just sits in her position and does nothing. She never voices her opinion on anything. She waits a few weeks to see what the popular opinion is and then just parrots it. She never takes initiative.

She just sits out everything. See the Scheuer-Maut corruption. Trump would've kicked that ass out within 24 hours. Merkel? "Oh that guy is CSU, thus I as CDU cannot do anything about it shrug" instead of pressuring Söder to remove that corrupt shithead.

And it works. People are mad at Scheuer. Maybe a little bit mad at Söder. But Merkel? She's completely innocent in their eyes.
