I suspect in this case the reason was to hide the name "Larian Studios" to get a click out of people who don't know.

Merz is going to form a coalition with the SPD and/or the Greens. We're going to get another 16 years of stagnation, not the fall of the republic.

Die komplett unnötige Gängelung. Außerdem würde ich drauf wetten, dass hier mehr Geld für Logistik, Beschaffung, etc. dieser Geldkarten ausgegeben als durch angeblich verhinderte "Zweckentfremdungen" eingespart wird.

Not if they're immediately kicked out again because of damage to the home or because they're intolerable and/or dangerous to the neighbours. And that's not even accounting for the people who have more invisible mental health issues that still prevent them from holding a job and paying their rent/mortgage without permanent government assistance. If you want to fix homelessness you need to address mental health as well as housing. Neither is optional, it needs to be both.

Same as in more "normal" apartment buildings. You've got some noise, but it's usually not an issue. Your only real concern are the units "bordering" yours, and maybe down the hallway. Plus, so many people around means that it's inevitable that someone calls the cops if shit gets really out of hand.

For trash there's a garbage room or a fenced area outside with large containers, and it's collected several times a week. I've never figured out the exact schedule while I was living there, but the only time I've seen the trash literally overflow was right after Christmas. And it wasn't disgusting, just packaging materials. Lots and lots of cardboard. Again, pretty much the same as in every other apartment building.

I've lived in a similar enough complex, and visited people living in others. It's fine, not much different from any other apartment. They're usually fairly well thought-out, better than a lot of older apartment buildings. Basically universally ceilings though (2.5m instead of the usual 3m), which can make it look cramped fairly fast if you're not careful about furniture and decor.

The only real issue with the complex pictured here is light. I don't think the people living in some of those towers are gonna get much natural daylight.

I do acknowledge that, but a society is made up of individuals. And none of those individuals is responsible for the crimes committed by their ancestors. Guilt is not passed down through generations. I do not believe that people living in former colonies are entitled to reparations because my ancestors committed crimes against their ancestors, even if those crimes still have repercussions in the current day.

Reparations for what? At least here in Germany there's virtually (and I'm covering my bases here, I'm fairly sure that it's literally nobody) nobody left who could be held even partially responsible for colonialism, and I am not willing to pay for crimes that I did not commit. Very few people are, I'd imagine.

Thanks for elaborating. That's a much better description of what happened.
