  • I mean yes, absolutely, it's always good to welcome people leaving a bad government behind.

    But...

    Do we have any statistics on who is leaving? Are jewish people over- or underrepresented? Maybe it's mostly palestinian citizens of Israel or maybe it's a lot of hardcore conservative jews who support the war, but are fleeing conscription? Maybe it's secular leftist jewish people? My point is: Apart from some cherry-picked, non-representative interviews, we don't know who is leaving and why.

  • BULLSHIT. Opposition to censorship continues to be strong on the left. I was there for "Stasi 2.0", "Schäublone" and "Zensursula". And nobody could EVER justifiably accuse Wolfgang Schäuble or Urula von der Leyen of leftism.

    It's continually the right that screeches "cEnSoRsHiP!!1!" when they get deplatformed by someone who has the right to deny them service, but it's also the right that continually tries to implement state censorship.

  • It's Helico-Pter not Heli-Copter. It's a greek word from hélikos (screw, spiral, winding) and pterón (wing).

    And since I'm fun at parties, I consequently pronounce it with a slight pause before and stress on the P and not a miniscule pause after the I and a slight stress on the O.

  • 2019 Škoda Fabia Monte-Carlo Edition.

    It's a relatively small car, but bigger on the inside, allowing my 6.5 feet (1.98m) and considerable bulk to sit comfortably and commute a route where sadly public transit isn't an option. It's only drinking 5.5l per 100km (4.277 42.77 mpg) and I have had good experiences with that model in the past in regards to the cost of maintenance.

    I can go 200km/h (125 mph) (downhill and with a tailwind) and the sporty features (manual transmission, sports suspension, sports seating, stronger engine and spoiler) are really nice when going quickly around corners on country roads or speeding down the Autobahn.

  • With the losses the russians suffered in their invasion of Ukraine, Poland alone could, quite heavily, stomp on grabby russian fingers. Not to mention that our brothers would not stand alone.

  • Greenland has the nearest coastline to the North Pole, and Denmark argues that the Lomonosov Ridge is in fact an extension of Greenland.

    According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, this would mean that through the extension of it's continental shelf, Greenland basically has control of the seabed of most of the arctic ocean and deep into russian waters. This gives it exclusive rights to resources on or below the seabed of that extended shelf area.

    Greenland thus is not only important for the control of northern trade routes that are opening up because of climate change, but because it comes with the control over huge swathes of resources on or below the arctic seabed.

    It's all about oil and minerals.

  • Me seeing the starting screen "These are the end-times... There was no hope of survival... This is how you died." For Project Zomboid the first time. The one and only Zombie-Survival-Game that absolutely hit the nail on the head in relation to an atmosphere of despair and gritty survival.

  • Planned ignoring is used for problematic behavior. If a child cries, the first thing you have to assess is if they are hurt. Crying when you are hurt is NOT problematic behavior.

    Ignoring a crying child without a simple health check that would have found a broken bone is willfully negligent at best and definitely not standard protocol.

  • The cheetah and the puma/cougar are way more closely related to domestic cats than they are to the big cats of the panthera family (the roaring big cats).

    They migt be tall cats, but they are no big cats.

  • Upset? No. More like a little uncomfortable. Partly because I'm an idealist who always hopes for the best and most moral and peaceful solutions. Partly because it makes me uncomfortable how little I am angered by this. Sure I absolutely do not want proles to go and kill the bourgeoisie... but I guess it's not... I don't feel the need to condemn this. Sometimes things are just... shrug

    But it's really just a little uncomfortable, like a sock not quite fitting my foot.

    I am far FAR more uncomfortable with someone calling this the good but small beginning of an overdue purge.
