China flooding the market with cheap EVs still makes the rich richer… Just different rich people in a different country.

Looks interesting, but I think a website would be better suited for this (so people can spontaneously play it without having to download anything). Please consider making one :)

Don’t worry, I usually don’t (and I didn’t say “the Jews”, just “Jews” - big difference, since a “the” in front of it would imply that it’s all while without “the” it’s just a part of them).

It just was needed in this context for the sake of my comment (the irony would be harder to understand otherwise).

I apologise

If they really do that the irony of Jews doing ethnic cleansing would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

I have no idea about the damage and expected costs so I can only judge from a psychological site:

A wise woman (my psychology teacher when I was in school) once told me that when you think about if you should spend money on something that brings you happy memories, you should just do it because those happy memories are what makes you feel happy at the end of your life (and helps you when you are going through a rough time).

So while it likely is the better financial decision to get a new bike, you’ll always remember fixing your bike and keeping it going. It’s something you achieve. It makes your bike special, it’ll make the memories you make with your repaired bike special. You’re of course spending money on repairing and maintaining your bike, but at the same time that money goes into good memories.

*assuming you fix it yourself. If you just let someone else repair it that special effect won’t be there

I can agree with overpriced (you pay for the name and for the excellent service) but they certainly aren’t badly made (generally, of course there are some outliers).

Leute, denen es schlecht geht, haben weniger zu verlieren. Sie sind daher grundsätzlich eher bereit “Alternativen” (badum-tss) auszuprobieren.

What happened to notepad?

I’m no expert so I don’t know what causes more damage, but the production of photovoltaic cells also is by no means environmentally friendly. People die, ecosystems get destroyed, …

And people argue that birds fly into wind generators and die, idk how much damage that is comparatively but probably the least. So from an environmental perspective, as a layman, I’d rank them wind > water > sun > non-renewables (nuclear > gas > coal).

But wind (and sun) always changes, so it’s impossible to only have wind (and sun). You need:

• Something stable that carries a large percentage (for example water in rivers or at the end of lakes (so basically at the start of a river)).

• Something flexible that can quickly be increased or decreased (for example pumped hydro storage power stations, bonus points there for also being able to use energy when there’s too much wind/sun; or non-renewables (burn more gas, get more electricity))

So even if we assume that wind and sun are better than water we still need either water or non-renewables. I’d say that’s an easy choice.

I can’t wait for the glorious future - one day this won’t be unrealistic anymore.

Sadly all power generation methods come at a cost. What would you suggest?

You can argue about how green it is, considering its impact on ecosystems, but how did they end at the conclusion that it’s not renewable?

In the text about Sodom and Gomorra the way I understand it God is punishing them for wanting to rape the angel or whoever it was who’s sleeping there. Not for it being a gay act when men rape a man.

A bit different (since there was no war yet and it wasn’t about the military) but after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, Austria requested to send their own police to investigate the case around the “Black Hand” (the terror organisation that assassinated him).

It really isn’t unusual for countries to deny foreign investigation.

Tausendmal ähnlicher als China

Gehen wir einmal davon aus, dass du Recht hast:

Die USA ist wenigstens eine Demokratie, mit ähnlichen Werten wie wir. Ich bin zwar kein Freund der USA aber würde tausendmal lieber in den USA als in China leben.

nach gerade einmal 90 Minuten auf, weil für einen der Redner in Deutschland ein Betätigungsverbot gilt. Der palästinensische Autor Salman Abu Sitta, dem Nähe zur Hamas unterstellt wird, war in der Vergangenheit immer wieder mit Hasstiraden gegen Israel und Juden aufgefallen.

Ein weiterer Grund sei purer Sadismus der Beamtinnen und Beamten, ergänzte eine Zuhörerin. „Die haben schon Bock darauf, Linke zu verhauen.“

So seien im Protestzug mit Sicherheit unzählige „Zivilbullen“ unterwegs, die mitunter selbst zu Ausschreitungen aufstacheln würden, war ein Zuhörer überzeugt.

Und auch unter den Festgenommenen würden sich Personen befinden, „die eigentlich für die Polizei arbeiten und euch aushorchen“, warnte eine Teilnehmerin.

Das Schweigegebot gelte auch gegenüber Ärztinnen und Ärzten im Krankenhaus. „Die arbeiten oft mit der Polizei zusammen“, so die These der Moderatorin, die ebenfalls keines Belegs bedurfte, um Zustimmung zu finden.

Ganz dezent von Verfolgungswahn und Realitätsfremde geprägt… Kann man nicht mehr ernst nehmen.

Just let π be 3 …

There are good reasons to go to Germany, like relatively high salaries (it always depends on where you’re comparing. At least in the fields I’m about to work in you earn significantly more in Germany than in Austria), high security, good schools and universities, … (similar to Austria in that regard, maybe slightly worse).

The only reason against Europe in general is that you pay a lot for mandatory purchases (a home (doesn’t matter if rented or bought), groceries, …). Personally I still prefer that over cheaper costs of living but less security, worse child- and healthcare etc. but something has to change, because it’s only getting more extreme.

If the development of 50 years ago to today will continue for the next 50 years something like a civil war is inevitable.
