Sam Bankman-Fried's lawyers say he needs more Adderall to concentrate in court
I'm absolutely no fan of institutional religion at all. But religion is often used as an excuse to go to war. It's rarely the actual reason, but a tool to polarize groups. Yes, there were a lot of wars seemingly for religious reasons. But if there's no religious reasons than people artificially created them by creating different interpretation inside the same religion. And if that doesn't work, they find other reasons like etnicity, culture or politics. So it's hard to pretend that religion is actually the root cause.
No, he would probably tell you to take your medicine is exactly the dose prescribed for you individually.
Just like someone in court should get his regular prescribed dose. The fact that it even needs to be requested openly in court and isn't automatic is the problem here.
So you somehow think that the world in "why isn't the world listening?" means the people in Iran that finance Hamas?
I know I should be more positive about this.
But PiS is still the strongest party. And they did more damage in their years of goverment than can be quickly repaired.
There will be also be no improvement in the EU as now Hungary has Slovakia as a new partner to block every progress.
So one step forward, two steps back as usual.
The world is listening. But the world is not allowed to say anything because the moment they criticise Israel's government they are obviously evil anti-semites that should be shot on the spot.
Right now every single article criticising Israel's government is drowned out by two dozen articles about all those despicable anti-semites everywhere excusing Hamas terrorism. Doesn't matter that it's a lie, that noone actually excused those terrorist acts. It's just a rediculous over the top strawman.
But this ist our new post-factual reality. Those who scream their lie the loudest are right.
...of which one half is brain-washed into wanting to kill the other half, while welcoming any wanna-be dictator with open arms and with a lot of potential applicants for the Darwin-Awards.
Sounds scary... but not for an invader.
Funny how you seem to believe that the majority of christians even knows so many details about their own religion....
It is OK to criticize or express caution about Israeli policies and government.
No, it's not if you are German.
And this has nothing to to with some signaling for team Israel. If a single high-ranking politician in Germany would be caught saying that Israel is commiting war crimes the international media wouldn't need more than 30 minutes before the calls for invading to denazify Germany again would start. And with the usual hateful morons being in control it would only need to another 30 minutes before we had reached the bomb them all and finally destroy that failed country stage on social media.
You should really try having any opinoin but one of highest praise and adoration for Israel as a random nobody from Germany on social media. Then you might understand actual reality. This is not Germans that call for your immidiate execution the moment you dare to criticise Israel.
FFS... I dared to mention over on Reddit that Hamas' terrorist acts don't suddenly make Israel's actions right and now have another dozen new messages calling me a nazi or calling for me to be shot (or both) for my collection, alongside with a lot of new messages from Reddit's mental health bot offering me all the hotline numbers I obviously need before I start hurting my self and others in my unstable mental state.
"Obviously, we would never want to hit or kill or shoot any journalist that is doing its job"
"Sadly we are also completely and utterly incompetent and so it happens again and again and again. And that's of course totally accidental every single time."
I was arguing that "The EU can't replace US support" isn't news. Just like "the US can't replace EU support wouldn't be news". That's basically just saying the EU (or US) is not able to just double their support on a whim. If they could it would also mean they gave only a fraction of what they could give for no actual reason but letting someone else do the work.
And suddenly we can be glad that Israel prefers to settle themselves in those locations as this and their distance are probably the best reasons to not do it.
Who cares? Facts are so last century. Who tells the best lie the loudest wins. Isn't that what you all wanted when you started rewarding media with clicks for the most rage-inducing bullshit instead of paying to actually get informed?
You are really not getting the most obvious sarcasm possible?
You mean other countries like the UK burning gas in a gas crisis and now opening new gas and oil drilling? Or countries like France who restarted their coal power plants about a year ago as a reserve should they not manage to bring all reactors back online in time. Or Ireland running on gas, coal and even oil? Or Poland (mostly coal)? Or Czechia with coal and nuclear but zero renewables because that doesn't fit with the nuclear agenda? Or Slovakia (nuclear and imported coal power from Poland)?
Are these the numerous countries you are talking about? Countries btw that don't actually have a grid... it's all one grid. Guess who they all fall back to in emergencies? Yes, not France who can only export a steady amount of excess energy in warm months but the other big electricity exporter in Europe.
The only countries with an actual working plan are the lucky ones with massive hydro potential. All the others are failing. Those with a reneable plan because they are drowned in propaganda and those with a nuclear plan because they lie to themselves and don't build even close to enough nuclear power to ever base their electricity production on it. But that's okay. In 20, 30 or 50 years they can still all get their deficit covered by imports because nobody actually has a choice with a connected European grid or everything breaks. With some good lobbying they might even force Germany to still burn fossil fuels for them while pointing fingers.
No, not "until" they take this seriously. There was a new government taking office in 2021 and it happened two years ago.
And guess what also happened exactly two years ago with a government not delaying and sabotaging the energy transition anymore... Yeah, the narratives started of how Germany is complete failing and actually increasing coal use (although numbers show the opposite) because that insane new government is trying a green transition that will never work. And how renewables are actually increasing energy prizes because they got rid of cheap coal and nuclear... the latter out out their insane ideology and totally not because it was planned for a decade and was a done deal when they came into office... yadda, yadda...
And now take a step back and look at what narratives are actually pushed constantly... and you might understand what is happening and why it's rediculous. People who claim to want green energy are in reality used to parrot the proven lies spread by coal lobbyists that only want people to give up on changes and nuclear lobbyists that will never actually have a part in decarbonisation in the next decade unless a country started building nuclear decades ago.
I assume you are okay with me making a note on congratulating you personally in about 2 more years for being part of a 4 year propaganda campaign that brought the retarded morons back into office to stop that failing energy transtion project and stay with coal for another 20 years at least. Yes, the exact same guys who actually spend the last decades shutting down nuclear, while -also purely accidently of course- this gets blamed on a daily basis on brain-damaged green ideology by people who actually came into office less than 2 weeks before the final shutdown started. The same guys that spread the fairy tales about Germany increasing coal mining when those mining projects were also contracted more than 10 years ago and the new government actually renegotiated the whole deal to stop now and not demolish another dozen villages in the next decade... I wonder why again this wasn't the actual news earlier this year and everyone worked so hard here to parrot the tale of how Germany demolished the village of Lützerath to increase their coal use. Just like I wonder if anyone of those people can name the villages before or all the ones not destroyed now. Isn't propaganda impressive...
so much for “German Quality”
Their wind power division is called Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, headquartered in Zamudio (Spain). Their main production, blades for turbines in particular which have massive quality issues and cost them billions, sits in Aveiro (Portugal), with only some minor production (mainly nacelles and R&D) done in Germany and Denmark (also China, US and Canada, but those are mostly irrelevant for the bulk production in Europe).
A parent company sitting in Germany doesn't make it German quality production when everything is outsourced.
Nope... competing industries had to get killed to keep coal alive because that's what lobbyists would reward politicians for with lucrative jobs after their political career. For this reason the former German government for example killed an once world-leading solar industry via massive overregulation... 100k jobs gone to keep 10k coal miners in their job.
May I ask which comment you are refering to? Because above I actually reacted in the same way. By telling people they are wrong and parroting narratives. Then I explained in detail and with sources to someone actively asking.
It's basically filtering. 90% will not care ayway. Of the remaining 10% some will ask, some will look up facts themselves and learn something new. Or they will come back with links of the usual media narrative, which is still a plus as they actually cared to look it up. So they will probably also take a look at other provided sources. From my perspective that is consistent.
And no, I don't think I can really fight bullshit. Because I have a life and am not paid for this. Unlike the army of people paid by lobbyists to push false narratives. So I will decide where to focus my limited time.
Sorry, but I'm not paid for using Google for other people. Anyone interested in the actual topic will be able to find actual numbers about coal use in Germany within 10 seconds. Everyone more interested in the narratives will not care anyway.
Guess what happens if you type "coal use Germany 2022 vs 2023" into Google... My first hit is this:
Am I supposed to assume it's an accident that the narrative is persistent when reality and actual facts are only one click away?
That is exactly how I read the article:
"Bankman-Fried has been prescribed Adderall 10mg tablets, 3-4x/day to treat his ADHD"
"Their client has been doing his best to remain focused during the trial for the past two weeks, despite not having his prescribed dose of Adderall during trial hours."
"Bankman-Fried had only been given a dose of Adderall in the early mornings before he arrived at court for his criminal trial. The early dose would wear off by the time the trial began."
