Backe (cheek) can be used both for the cheek in the face and the butt. But I guess you could say Arschbackpfeife? Arschbackpfeifengesicht? I’m not sure, need some inspiration from fellow Germans.

Pretty close, although Backpfeife has nothing to do with the back of your hand (five?), if that was your association. It also kind of fits, though. And what you associate with “shit” is German for “face” :D
Backpfeife would literally translate to “cheek whistle”, because that’s our favorite instrument to play when encountering a couch molester.
“Some bullshit” yeah right you just craved for that avocado toast, didn’t you?
A two-party system is not necessarily worse than a multy-party system. They both have their flaws. Just as one example, party programs in multi-party systems such as in Germany are not worth the paper they are written on, because after the election the parties will go into negotiations and come up with an entirely different program. With two parties, at least you know what you vote for.
This is a great lecture on the topic with much more depth to it:
Let me put this differently:
You’re standing at a lever that can influence the direction of the shrapnel. If you do nothing, 5 people will get hit with bowling ball shrapnel and 1 person with marble shrapnel. If you pull the lever, 5 people will get hit with marble shrapnel and 1 person with bowling ball shrapnel.
What do you do?
Would you rather get hit by bowling ball shrapnel or marble shrapnel?
What happens if you shoot them against each other with the same momentum?

We’re all part of the stroke
This. It’s easier to practice/study if you don’t share a room with 3 siblings and don’t need to spend your off time supporting the family in various ways.
Also, don’t get mad at that person trying to give you a compliment
Ah yes, great post in the year 2010 when thinkpads weren’t complete crap, yet.
This can have an effect in exactly two ways:
retailers lose a bit of profit because they cannot optimize their staffing for this one day. They might be a little less profitable because they have one person at work who is not needed, for example. They might also get mad customers the next day when everybody goes back shopping and they haven’t prepared for it. Similarly, they might have to throw away a few fresh products and not have them in stock later.
if (and only if) people buy the stuff they need somewhere else instead. If this is about grocery shopping, well, you need groceries at some point. Doesn’t matter much for the retailer when you buy it (apart from 1), as long as you buy it consistently at their place.
I support the protest, but if you want to make an impact, use that day to find alternative places to do your shopping in the future.
Just look at high tax countries, like Sweden, Finland, Norway. They are pretty functional, although not perfect, with pretty well-working social systems. Look at countries that are all about avoiding taxes like… the US. Look at the UK, and what Thatcherism did to it. Social services are falling apart, if still existing at all.
Whoever says taxes are a problem, implicitly says schools, streets, firefighters, … should be privately owned. And guess who would be the private owners and what they are going to do with prices :)
No, you can’t read a complex sentence
Well, again, the taxes are not the problem, but the bad design of the deduction process. The war on taxes, especially in the US but also in Europe, is a strategy from the right and neoliberals to cut down on social welfare and essentially redistribute money to the rich.
Taxes are good and important, but it’s difficult to figure out what to tax and by how much, and how to use the money well.
Taxes are not the problem. Billionaires grabbing the money on the other side are the problem.
Know the difference

Have you tried dead hobo’s arse?
