    Offtopic: I think this was the first time I actually used my eID I activated two years ago to log in to anything (#Neuland). Had to look up the PIN, but other than that it worked nicely.

      When I moved last year, I used it to register my new address. It was the worst experience with any IT system I’ve ever had in my life. It was still better than waiting 3 months for an appointment and waiting another 2 hours in the citizen office.

          Only if you live in a dysfunctional shit part.

          Here you can register your new residence walk-In. No appointment needed

            Na man. Big cities is the thing where offices are understaffed. And not everybody wants to live in a small town or village where you might be able to walk-in on civil offices but have to own a car because no supermarket or workplace is in walkable distance.

              Not every big city is Berlin and I have no idea where you get the idea of villages without supermarket but with a town hall from. If you’re that small you’re in a Verwaltungsgemeinschaft.

                I’m not talking Berlin. Also, I didn’t say no supermarket, I said no supermarket in walkable distance. Like the village I grew up in, 6k inhabitants, 45 minutes by foot to the next supermarket because they were all in the same location with a big parking lot. Or the next town, 20k inhabitants but one supermarket at the train station and one near each of the three bigger roads out of it and around an hour to ninety minutes walking distance between them.

                  Bikes exist. Also that’s all not a function of municipality size but density, you can have very urban 20k or 20k that are spread out worse than Reitbrook. Big city life, right there, part of an 1.8M municipality.

              I live in a Großstadt, but a functional one. Thanks for explaining me though how it works here

              For some more time intensive tasks you also need an appointment here. But registering your residence does not, since it does make the city money and takes just a few minutes.

              Also South Germany isn’t completely fucked financially

                  I’ve already edited it out, but yes, you automatically assuming that I live at the end of the world just because my administration isn’t totally incompetent was quite arrogant

    There is no need for an explicit ban, as such dehumanising and abusive nonsense should already violate a dozen existing laws in any country that respects human rights.

      It sounds like it does as like they say in the article the UN classify it as torture. If people ignore that and choose to torture people anyway it’s probably useful to have a ban on the specific type of torture that people are trying to avoid.

        The only reason to explicitly ban one particular type of torture is if you want to allow other types of torture at some point.

    I have read the Privacy statement and the content of this citizens’ initiative.

    When I click on the “citizens’ initiative” link it’s a dead 404 link.
