Thanks for correcting the record. In that case I think I was mislead and misinformed by the airline. This keeps getting more interesting. So far, they have broken all of the rules: didn't properly inform me that I will be denied boarding, didn't call for volunteers, didn't give me any information about compensation, didn't provide any written statements and now misleading "information". Not feeling very protected right now.

The crux of the matter is that these "consumer protect laws" often release the party with the most leverage from liability i.e. they protect the party with the most leverage from ever being held accountable for doing something really damaging to the other party. And their justification for this, is giving you a pittance as compensation.
How you do it is by simply retaining liability for damages caused, i.e. by not trying to short circuit the justice system.
Do you know what happens when the airline does not follow even the laws that are there on the books in their favour? In that case you are first advised to seek justice from a private arbitration court, i.e. they are again trying to avoid the actual legal system. Seems like a pattern.
As I already said, the job of the courts is to determine just financial compensation.
I find meeting people at all to be the biggest hurdle.
I don't really trust Buttigieg not to be a sell out, but of all the ones being named, he's the one with the rhetorical chops to stand up to Trump. But maybe Trump will flat out refuse a second debate.
He subscribes to a branch of neo-reactionary politics coined "dark enlightenment" that basically rejects liberalism. In short, these fine fellows believe that we should be their literal serfs in a neo-feudal society. I think point for point, their ideology is even more fucked up than fascism.
Maybe it was a baby monitor?
I think the west made up a narrative about postwar Germany and that narrative is now being exposed.
Immigrant who lives in Germany here. This post is a bunch of lies. On this topic there are a lot of politically motivated astroturfers who take over whole comment sections to push their false narratives.
I wanted to be a game programmer. 15 years on, I haven't touched a video game in over a decade, and I find them pretty boring.
I'm going to go a bit against the trend here and say that his main issues are probably a lack of social opportunities (he's probably some kind of techbro living in a sausage factory) and an inability to play his part in terms of making the moves.
If it necessitated a good personality to attract women, as you all on here seem to believe, the world would be a much better place than it really is. And I also find it ironic that the implication is that women are somehow the better sex that is above the same ugly worldviews that a man might have. Again, I do not see any evidence for that. Think of the most evil man along any dimension and he had a woman or multiple ones.
