Actual question: why don’t Americans just transfer money using a normal baning app? I just have to open the app of my bank. Enter the IBAN, name and amount, confirm and the money will be sent pretty fast. No need for either party to use any third party app.
Is that the age users entered? Before I was legally an adult I always just added a few years
It works using encryption so it can’t be traced back. But yes, you could technically share it with others
I am not advocating for it, but the EU at least tries to make it as anonymous as possible. They want to allow different trusted parties like banks or government agencies to give out certificates that can then be used to verify your age. So at least the end platforms don’t get any private information
Isn’t it sad that most people dislike(ed) or even hate(ed) school? Shouldn’t it be fun and exciting?

If I just saw this headline without a source I would 100% have thought it was satire. How do we live in a world where this is real
Meine Rechtschreibung ist auch nicht immer perfekt, aber das ist schon fast gruselig.
Oh, I actually didn’t know that. Does it not work for presidential elections?
I do know that there are two votes. But in the last election reform the direct vote has drastically lost importance. It is no longer guaranteed that every person who won the direct vote will go to parliament. The distribution of seats will only be decided by the party votes. The only exception remains that parties with three direct candidate wins will be able to go to parliament without winning at least five percent of the party votes.
I don’t know if that is completely true but I think in countries without the first pass the post system this is not even a problem. For example in Germany every voter has one vote and they are all added together in the end. The districts are only for managing the vote counting but have almost no influence on the end result.
To me it looks like it’s warning of drones
There is a big difference between the model of economy in the past and the current one. And that is that for the longest time, the primary aim was survival and personal satisfaction. Our current system is different in that it requires constant growth. You can never produce or consume too much. If the economy stops growing, that is a catastrophe. And there were obviously problems in the past and capitalism has also lead to great achievements, but the requirement of constant growth is definitely a problem.
Just imagine yourself in 50 years being held at trial by our AI overlords and they start bringing up your search history
I think there is some truth to that. There is definitely a difference in the way young and old people vote(d). When looking at the last election for the European Parliament you can see that young people voted way less for the established parties and way more for small parties source (German). But that is not necessary connected to propaganda. Old people just have their “default party” they vote for since 50 years and young people mostly want change. At I think this principle will never change.
In Germany you can also vote in most elections at 16. And you can also vote for the European Parliament with 16. I think that is good, since the people who are currently young will be most affected by many of the decisions taken now. It also recognizes that the young people are also important and encourages political participation from a young age. And nobody is forced to vote, so people who are disinterested in politics will just note vote.
I personally enjoy grand strategy games. But seeing a game about an ongoing war is somewhat strange
You can keep your gun in Switzerland after finishing the mandatory military service. But the rules are still very strict
