Gotta love ELSTER, my favorite social media platform.

ContextELSTER, short for ELektronische STeuerERklärung (electronic tax return), is the official German software/web page for creating and submitting your tax return. It has the same logo as Diaspora.

Elster is also the German term for magpie.

The logo for a tax company being an asshole is perfect!

It's actually not a company. It's a website published by our government.

I'll let you think your part about that...

Even better lol

Tax Software called magpie

And they say Germans don't have a sense of humor!

We don't know if this was merely an accident.

A logDice of 10.1 is extremely high by the way. For example, "war" has a score of 10.8 with "cold", an 8.1 with "peace" and a 7.3 with "against terror".
