There is this old joke: “The US has two parties: The conservatives, and the Republicans…”

People may be stupid, but not blind. They see that things are bad, and want change. The “old” Dems promise status quo, stability, business as usual, maybe even business like in the good ol’ days. That is like the textbook definition of conservative. The MAGA people promise and deliver change. Sure, might not be good change. But it’s change.

Heart, mind and cock. Beautiful.

Gut, viel davon ist sicher Parterhetorik. Aber so groß ist der ideologische Unterschied zwischen Trump und seinen Silicon-Valley-Milliadären und Putin und seinen Gas-Oligarchen auch nicht.

Abgesehen davon ist die AfD eben auch kein homogener Block. Dass sich manche mit Musk und Maga und andere wieder mit Medwedjew treffen, ist nicht unmöglich.

Shared interests. Weak EU is good for non-EU blocks.

Plus, even the fascists are not homogeneous, with some of them actually believing in patriotism, and others selling out to the highest bidder (like China)

I have it, whether I want it or not. By choice of not my own, political shit happens. I can choose to stick my fingers in my ears, but that’s about it.

It’s the same argument for why it’s OK to sell drugs. Someone is going to do it anyway, me selling crack is not going to change anything meaningful, so I might as well do it.

Nius ist rechte Propaganda, das zu lesen ist verlorene Lebenszeit.

It is pretty hard to irradiate a whole block and give everyone turbo-cancer with my smartphone, tbh.

The Soviets used RTGs quite a bit for remote installations, and “whoops, we lost one, I hope nobody finds it and kills their family” is a real concern (that was kind of ignored because a. Russia is big and b. it’s the Soviets we are talking about)

They can use a part of their waste again as fuel. Therefore, they are a bit more efficient with their fuel. But they still require fuel and produce waste.

If we get to global nuclear war, I’d rather die in the first blast than starve to death while my organs liquefy from the radiation. May those that start it die last.

No, that’s a fair point. I had super interesting classes, where I was the only one attending. And I had classes where I knew the lecture hall was full, but I figured after the first lecture that I’ll just sit at home, with the script, unlimited coffee, unlimited google access, and be done with the content in half the time.

So doof das klingt: welches andere Land bietet aktuell denn (relative) politische Freiheit, einen brauchbaren Lebensstandard und ein bezahlbares Sozialsystem?

Mir fallen höchstens noch ein paar andere europäische Länder ein, und die sind mit uns wirtschaftlich im gleichen Boot, plusminus ein paar Prozent. Und so ein paar Ex-Commonwealth-Staaten noch, aber in Kanada ist es kalt, und in Australien gibt es Riesenspinnen.

So everyone, being an adult, can learn at their own pace in a way that is most efficient to them?

Yes, in the same way that hospitals are just expensive ways to get a discharge letter.

Something something metrics and goals.

Algorithm mentioned, I am awake

I saw him/them live, great stuff.

Yeah, for the record, I am not a big fan of being thrown in the state security prison for being caught listening to western broadcasts. But, the song is just a lot cooler than the boring, historically questionable western anthem

Hey, don’t distro-hop-shame. Some people like to switch it up, and it’s perfectly ok.
