Yeah I figured it's not really an option in the US. Here it doesn't cost anything.

There's a different number. 110 gets the police, 112 emergency services (so either fire department, ambulance, or an emergency doctor).

Weird source, they absolutely identified the person, and it was Abu Sitta. He was the reason the conference had to be stopped.

edit.: I've looked for a somewhat decent German source to share and found something interesting. The Palestine conference was banned because a speaker named Abu Sitta wanted to hold a speech, who is banned from political activity in Germany. This guy is specifically pro Hamas and said, if he was younger he would've participated in the Hamas attack himself. At the same time this other person was banned from entry into the country, also named Abu Sitta. I'm now left wondering if this Schengen ban was mistakenly issued and meant for the other guy.

Where I live you call an ambulance.

The thing is, he wasn't even a psychologist.

So you'll not even attempt to argue in favour of your claim? I can do that as well, you know.

Your rhetorics are the exact shit facists use. Word for fucking word.

And what part of that is mirrored in me providing very situation-specific context to a YouTube video?

That's a really drastic comparison man. The Berlin police didn't ran over the protesters with tanks off camera.

Your mom broke the garage. That was absolutely irresponsible of her, not you, you were trying to help out which is really sweet.

And I mean what was the goal here anyway? Even when running late the 3 seconds it takes to start a car will hardly make any difference.

A shame there's not more information about the incident.

I checked some German sources and this is what I found: The protest camp was build two weeks ago, before the "Palästina-Kongress", which was cut short because they had someone hold speeches who's banned from political activity in Germany for antisemitism and glorification of violence. The protest camp was allowed to stay because they didn't break any rules. Over the next two weeks several incidents started to accumulate, which were deemed increasingly criminally relevant. Planted areas were damaged, streets were blocked, passerbys harrassed, police attacked, antisemitic paroles and incitements were shouted. A court issued a ban on the camp and friday morning police announced this, at which time most protesters removed their tents and left. The few remaining stayed until 4pm when police decided to dissolve the camp, which some protesters didn't want to accept. This moment is most likely what we see in the video.

I know some people out there got the impression that Germany simply arrests anyone who's not unapologetically pro israel in this war. I myself would want our politicians to be more openly critical of israel, although I think I understand why they struggle to do so. Based on what I see in the news and the political opinions of the people around me (which are mostly pro Palestinians, anti Hamas, anti Netanyahu, pro Israelis) I do feel like the people on lemmy seeing this as examples of facism in Germany only see a very limited part of the picture. Videos like this with no context whatsoever are not exactly helping there, either.

If you want to see facism in Germany look at the AfD, our most right wing party. Their lead cancicate for the EU-parliament recently received 20k from Russia to spy for them (which obviously doesn't stop the party from endorcing him). Their position on Israel is nonexistent. Israel doesn't like them (since they're Nazis) and they, by policy, don't care about other countries at all ("Germany first"). If there's ever a return to facism in Germany, those are the ones that will do it.

Farming locally doesn't mean use a city building, it means use a field thats kinda in the same region, not at the other end of the world. And of course that's more sustainable. The shorter the transport routes are, the better.

We gave up on reusing glass bottles in large part because they were not sanitary. Every boomer has stories of finding cigarette butts in their soda and beer.

I live in a county that almost religiously reuses glass bottles and have never heard nor experienced such a story. Seems like someone figured out how to sanitize them.

In this case, fishing is very much comparable to hunting. Only we use much cruder and more destructive hunting methods underwater because we are not at home in the ecosystem.

As predators, tuna are involved in the regulation of numerous other species, migrate almost all over the world throughout the year and dive for miles depending on the time of day. Fishing them is like normalizing the hunting of tigers. Maybe even worse. After we have already wiped out some tiger species. And all for a cheap pizza topping.

Tunas however cannot be domesticated, only hunted.

No what I'm saying is maybe you are sensitive (for whatever reason - from a exceptional metabolism to placebo, over other sensitivities/allergies, complex psychological effects, etc everything is possible) but it's certainly not because glutamate is a neurotransmitter.

Neurotransmitters and the stuff in our bloodstreams (nutrients, hormones and so on) are two very different systems. Think of it as a river and a power grid. We all have this massive stream of different molecules in our bodies, and we have an elaborate information system made from electric and chemical signaling, like cables and batteries, working right beside it. The batteries might happen to utilize the same molecules that swim around in the river, but they still have nothing to do with each other. The river doesn't touch the batteries, and your body very carefully decides which part it takes out of the water and into the batteries. Highly simplified of course, but that's kinda how you can imagine why one doesn't hurt the other.

To add:

• No visible clocks. If possible don't check the time at all while trying to sleep. Doing math at night (aka "oh no only 4 hours left") only makes you angry or sad.
• No alcohol. If unavoidable, try to be sober by the time you want to fall asleep. (Dring sooner, if at all.)
• No coffee after midday. Some bodies suck at metabolising it.
• Bedroom should be as dark and silent and comfy as possible. If there's any way you can add comfort, do it.
• For persisting sleep problems: Change position or location. (E.g. turn completely around in your bed, feet at the headrest, or sleep on the couch if comfortable.) Brains are very good at linking a location with a state of mind, and changing things around can help if the thought of your bed stresses you out already.

For severe problems it's probably always wise to check with a physician, or if there's specific stuff in your head that keeps you awake to consider telling a friend or therapist about it. To distance yourself from your thoughts is something everybody can learn and it can be tremendously helpful with stuff like that.

Even though you're right in that glutamate is a neurotransmitter, eating it doesn't affect our brain chemistry at all. It can't pass the blood-brain-barrier. Which is relieving since basically every food group contains it and flooding our brain with that would lead to violent epileptic seizures and certain death. Not insomnia.

And melatonin isn't a neurotransmitter but a hormone.

So maybe you do in fact sleep better when avoiding specific food groups in the evening, but your explanation certainly isn't correct.

Just putting this out there since glutamate is such a highly misunderstood molecule surrounded by many misconceptions, this one being a very common one.

Even in the show Dani is basically a child who's convinced it's her birthright to rule over the world. People were rooting for her because the story arc was cool, but if we take the character seriously she's completely deranged since season 1.

More than 20% use tires.

But I guess if the most important thing for ya all is to be of the hook personally, sure, fixating on the question of individual responsibility becomes the most important part and averages are just a distraction to that (because they say nothing about the individual). To me that wasn't the relevant takeaway from the article. Our society must fundamentally change, or we will destroy ourselves. And for that it doesn't matter at all how much microplastic you personally produce, but how much we all create - on average.
