France showed tf up. Thank you France. Their signatures make up about 50% of the total number of signatures (>600k came from France and in total it's approx 1.2M signatures).

Thanks also to all the countries with at least 100%, because more than 6 countries were needed.

Thanks for every single one that signed - no matter the statistics. Every signature counts.

Saying it here too: 100.01% is cutting it close but glad to see we got this far. Please keep signing!

The problem isn't pirates, it's films and series being available in one country and unavailable in another. It's greedy af streaming services that keep raising the prices, having a small percentage of overall films and series available and expecting people to get a handful(!) of those, 15€ or more per service(!) just to have some sort of half decent coverage. On top of all that, they keep raising prices while introducing ads for their paid tier(!), they further raid their library of media just so that the consumer is left with mostly crap and maybe a vanishing number of quality films and series.

I don't know why today, but I'm furious. When having a headache because of a tumor, then the headache isn't the problem and aspirin isn't the cure. The problem is the tumor and it needs to be treated chemically, surgically or via radiation.

Piracy is not the problem. It's the symptom that has been pointing to the actual problem: capitalist greed.

For the longest time I've paid for streaming services, still do. But after sitting for over half an hour trying to figure out whether I should watch crappy series 1, 2, 3, 4 or maybe 5, ... I refuse to finance some capitalist's yacht with that. It's literally degraded to me handing over money, full stop. It's a one-directional transaction which does not happen in my favour.

I'm angry, hence the vent. I couldn't care less about some arse not getting my money. I hope they choke on their caviar. My breaking point is reached. Long live piracy.

Naja... Der Titel erweckt den Eindruck, als hätten sie stundenlang an der Puppe gewerkerlt obwohl sie erst nach Tatortsicherung etc. zur Puppe gelangten, die auch noch lebensecht aussah und jetzt nicht so eine Aufblaspuppe war.

Find das nicht so sensationell.

Hopefully they'll manage to block Hungary.

Didn't read the article, but answering your question in the title:

> autistic people exist, but no real word to describe them adequately

> someone bothers doing research

> more and more people get the diagnosis based on scientific criteria and understanding, which is fluid as time and learning go on

> total number changes if autistic people are born or die, not just willy-nilly as so many people seem to suggest

> some person does not understand that growing number of autism diagnoses != growing number of autistic people

> "Are there more autistic people now?"

Not your fault OP, I'm just really bothered to read something like that. That's if our eyes got an upgrade and we were able to suddenly distinguish one more colour. No, nothing turned the new colour, it was always there. It just wasn't perceivable to us prior to the upgrade.

Eh, jetzt unterstützt niemand unabsichtlich diese Trotteln. Leider dafür absichtlich.

And their chocolate is just so, so good.

This is so stupid. I love it.

Apple is a huge wanker omg. This cannot and mustn't be legal and I hope Europe manages to defend themself or rather make sure that Apple definitely pays and doesn't get the money back basically from Europe.

I call Meta unlawful. Fuckers.

An alle: Sie wollen weitersammeln, da es unter Umständen ungültige Stimmen gibt. Bitte unterschreibt daher fleißig weiter. Am besten wären insgesamt 1.2 Mio. um sicherzugehen, dass ungültige Stimmen ausgeglichen werden können.

By sexually assaulting them?...

1. It's 1 million signatures with at least 7 countries passing the threshold (that's important because it won't be considered successful otherwise, even with a million signatures).

2. Open source is a must have, so that it can be reviewed independently and so we as citizens can be sure nothing shady happens - at least without our knowledge... european is not enough for me. I do not wish to replace non-european arseholery with european arseholery.

Stimmt leider irgendwo. Die Stimmen, die zB nach wie vor Nestlé vorschlagen, da es aus der Schweiz sei und somit europäisch, scheinen immer mehr zu werden. Es gibt dann eh Kommentare, die dagegen ankämpfen, aber irgendwann wird wer müde vom stetigen Hinweisen und Erklären. Da kommt noch dazu, dass es auch desillusioniert zu sehen, wie wenig die Mitmenschen auf Menschenrechte, faire Arbeitsbedingungen, etc. Wert legen.

Es hat gut angefangen mit "nicht nur europäische Produkte sondern auch moralisch sowie ethisch vertretbare Produkte" und versandelte zu "es reicht, wenn der Euro in Europa bleibt". Schade.

Only way, really.

Gwynne* Shotwell, but yea, she built the company.

Thank you, very important point! I was trying to find that pic of a graph where the question is something like "Does it matter where the graph starts?" and the lower part says "Yes", but is cut off and the upper part says "No" :')

Exactly. It's greedy landlords who withhold living space for €€€. It wouldn't surprise me if most countries actually have a landlord problem and aren't missing space to live in.

Absolutely terrible and disgusting. All rapists should get a life sentence, full stop. The damage they do sticks with the victims for their whole lives, it robs them of a normal life.
