Life is good

Nope, it‘s that little black terrier mix (second left), lol. It‘s the dog from my neighbours mum’s neighbour who was hospitalized. The „German Shepherd“ is also a mixed breed btw. (just don’t remember what else breed it is). And all four dogs on that picture are former streetdogs from Romania.

The dog on the far left looks completely uninterested lol. Good looking pack of dogs but doesn’t the smell bother you? I mean that’s a lot of dogs. I’m sure they are clean but still…they are dogs. Too many in any enclosed environment and I can smell them.

I only have one dog (that small black one on the right). My neighbour with her two dogs (the big ones) joined me on that walk. That big black Labrador was focused on his owner. She also brought the guest dog. All dogs are kept very clean. And outside you don‘t smell anything from those dogs.

I hope to get a dog in 20 years.

I only could get a dog because I was lucky twice. The first time I only had a 10 minute walk to work when I was living in the center of Regensburg. Therefor I could spend a long lunch break having a walk with my dog. The second time I either had my landlord to let my dog (and later two dogs) in the garden at noon or Homeoffice.

This photo was taken just a few minutes ago through my kitchen window as I had a coffee refill. For the first time a great spotted woodpecker used the ground feeding station. I only saw them a few times yet on my air feeder station. Maybe that one’s empty. Need to check later.

Ideology and Angst won over facts and rationality.

lol no facts and rationality beat hate and fear

Nonsense. The only good thing is that Merz shot an own goal, lol.

well he didnt have to resign yet… lol
i wonder how much influence merkel had on his decision to finally kick back your beloved afd :wink:

She bears the main guilt in my opinion. She never liked Merz, lol.

sometimes even germans do some things right :wink:

I dislike both, Merkel and Merz, but I think Merkel is the way worse of them regarding vision, immigration and economy. Wayyyy worse. Not worse than Kohl, though (they sucked at that equally). The last good chancellor of Germany was Helmut Schmidt, SPD.

Merkel just has one plus on my list and this applies to all her male predecessors incl. her successor Scholz (which was even the biggest loser on that job ever) and soon to be one, Merz: She has had zero personal economical goal and the least ego.

uhmm i guess she did prevent your country from crashing for now and basically keep the eu from collapsing (as she has done in the past), so she is okish (as far as any politician can be ok) :wink:

Why? So many EU countries turned far right already.

yes quite a few… am sure you are aware that your afd wants out of the eu and quickly make deals with russia again? you think that will improve your economic situation? lol

One of us did misunderstand something regarding the AfD plans regarding the EU. Here’s an excerpt from their „manifesto“. They want the EU, just as it was planned originally, as an economic union. To which I fully agree.

„We oppose the idea to transform the European Union into a centralised federal state. We are in favour of returning
the European Union to an economic union based on shared interests, and consisting of sovereign, but loosely connected nation states. We strive to live in a spirit of friendship and good neighbourliness.
We reject the idea of a United States of Europe, as well as that of a federal state from which an exit is impossible.
We believe in a sovereign Germany, which guarantees the freedom and security of its citizens, promotes economic welfare, and contributes to a peaceful and prosperous Europe.
Should we not succeed with our ideas of a fundamental reform within the present framework of the European Union, we shall seek Germany‘s exit, or a democratic dissolution of the EU, followed by the founding of a new European economic union.“

And to the rest of your question regarding the economic situation and possible deals with Russia: Yes. If the USA isn‘t able to be a reliable partner, then hell yes. In that case I absolutely are in favour to keep up dealing with Russia again.

yes and it wasnt me lol
the eu is never gonna change its principles because of some fascists…

the eu was originally never just an economic union, the precursor the european coal and steel community was lol the eu has always been about sharing values on peace, well being of citizens, freedom, security and justice without internal borders

yes, should afd get in charge then a nice little anti-eu-union aka 4th reich with a few other extreme rightwinged countries might be your future… italy, slovakia, hungary, croatia, czech and germany… oh and ukraine what is left of it after half is given to russia… good luck lol

oh afd wont drop the usa, they will embrace both monsters while turning your country in a smaller version of those :wink:

Name me one fascist agenda of the AfD, Nico. You are a blind ideologist.

The EU is terribly slow even for a slug, inefficient, too diverse to function and didn‘t manage even yet to tax their own burocrats, lol. It failed and fails in so many ways. The AfD is correct to criticize the direction, hence treaties, which for example lead away from an economic Union - which by the way IS the basis for peace in Europe.
