Upon reflection, Green is probably the best choice. I'm impressed by Baerbock.

Even my lemmy feed on Boost is full of AfD adverts, it's enfuriating.
I have extensive experience of both being a British person living in Germany. British trains are much worse, or at least used to be. German trains are often late, but at least they are clean and modern. How can you compare ICEs when the UK doesn't even have high-speed rail (no, the short stretch to the channel tunnel doesn't count).
Pfffft, you kids! I remember shuffling through a couple of dozen 3½" disks to install Windows 3.1 for Workgroups.
So, every time this comes up, I have to point out that there's more going on in your ear the hearing. I got too close to a speaker in a club about 10 years ago and messed up my hearing. I'm quite deaf in one ear and have tinnitus. That is a long way from the worst of it, though - I get unpredictable bouts off severe nausea and vertigo. That is, I will fall over and vomit with what is best described as severe sea sickness at short notice.
Take care of your ears, they are extremely delicate and include a balance organ that you definitely don't want to fuck up.
She should have done all of that, but they would have just found a different wedge issue.
Doesn't matter - their technique will always find the greatest wedge issue because they start by spreading insane amounts of shit and use monitoring to find which ones are gaining traction. All this is a guess, but it's such an obvious strategy that I'd be amazed if it wasn't how they're working.
I'm from the U.K., so I was lucky enough to experience what I believe was a PoC of this technique during our referendum for PR voting. That time, there were two wedge issues: baby incubators and - I hope I'm getting this right because my memory is hazy - bullet-proof vests for soldiers. Neither of those things were remotely related to the question... but as soon as they started to gain traction, they were pushed hard. Brexit was more money for the NHS. With Jeremy Corbin, it was support for Palestine. With Kamela, it was lack of support of Palestine. None of it needs to make sense, so long as it works as a wedge.
I still believe this was a targeted campaign to get dems to sit out. Their strategy is to spread as much shit as possible, and as soon as they see something that sticks, push it hard. It's sad, but this strategy is extremely effective against the left because we're all too eager to find a reason not to support the dems.
The only defence is to be aware of this strategy. Rather than shit on people, try to explain how they've been duped so next time they have a chance of noticing.
I mean, technically, the record will play just fine. Everything will be slightly slower and lower pitched, but it'll work. Think doom metal meets 1930s jazz.
Everything in XKCD is based on truth. That's what makes it so funny... to geeks, at least.
Edit: God damn it, he put 72 instead of 78 RPM. I guess he does make mistakes after all...
Die Linke want capitulation. That is not something I can support.
