Also that climate change is kind off overblown out of proportions. On cosmic scale effect takes thousands of years to happen. Even if all polar ice melts today, rising sea levels is going to be an issue for very small number of coastal cities. Sure the weather will get bit wilder with hotter summer...

We need to quickly do a full transition to a completely green society, yet under pressure from the German government the EU decided that gas is apparently a green form of energy in fucking 2022. We need to be going carbon neutral in a decade, and somehow the German government wants to consider gas ...

One can't predict what will happen after 8 years, so I don't think Merkels should be criticized because of this war. In the case of Russia, you didn't need a sophisticated analysis to arrive at a solid estimation. A simple extrapolation of Putins first 14 years would have been enough. Obviously, Me...

5:00 pm just seems too late to call afternoon.

That's why you call it "late afternoon"...

18:00 is the only correct answer It's not even worth debating. There are two fix points with 0:00 being midnight and 12:00 being midday. Then there is a second set of logical fix points with the exact times of sunrise and sunset at equinox. That is 6:00 and 18:00. The next thing we have to do is si...

The human capability of inventing entities called "government", "corporation" or "god" that are not rooted in physical reality is one of the defining characteristics of our species. It is a necessity for human progress. Governments and corporations not existing is surel...

I think that humanity eventually needs to get to a point where this sort of thing has real repercussions to instigators. I guess a jaded response to it is to be expected, considering that we have crimes against humanity all over the world still. But I don't think this is a tenable thing. War isn't ...

Western media is obviously going to report something in a pro western perspective, same goes for Russian or Chinese outlets. Truth often lies somewhere in the middle. Classic example of this is when China achieves something. Media will report that by adding something in front of it and trying to pa...

Not fruits per se. But the research you do. Concepts remain same whether you work on fruits or humans. Consider the life saving mRNA tech for example. Same can also be used for more sinister purposes. And that is true for every single job on the planet. You own a restaurant and learned to prepare s...

An allegation US makes about how you treat Uyghur Muslim population in Xinjiang. If you really live in China you'll realize that Uyghur live better than many of us now. It's ironic that every street in Shenzhen (I'm here) are blocked with walls, barricades and spikes, to prevent us from climbing ou...

Not supporting Russa, but I think we're currently witness to another large scale genocide by the Chinese government. So that last claim is probably not really true.

What?

Forced sinicization, especially of people living in the western provinces of China.

I am not particularly blaming the US for post war scenario, only partially. I am primarily blaming US for events preceding the war and for starting the war. I still don't see why the US is to blame for "events preceding the war" and, especially, for starting the war. You start a war by se...

What is the added benefit of hosting a kremlin propagandist on this aoe3 forum? [mention]u7056[/mention] why did you close my report? Ukrainian children are being used as human meatshields to protect military convoys and you think this is an okay point of view to have? How am I doing any kind of pr...

That's exactly what this thread missed: some guy formulating his devotion for the worst of Nazi war criminals. Wehrmacht is not enough, so let's take a Waffen-SS colonel. But I can see why you like Putin so much.

Quousque tandem abutere patientia nostra?

Russia continues to desperately try to create artificial demand for the ruble If I understand the current measures correctly, the Russian central bank currently restricts trade in rubles severely. Effectively it means that foreigners cannot sell rubles anymore while the central bank itself buys rub...

Uh oh, German sisters, we got too clitty https://i.imgur.com/HVKjWYb.png It's good. If our politicians can't stop the shit themselves, then maybe Putin does it for us. The necessary result is that Russia is no longer financed by Germany. And go where, US isn't giving you much, neither is middle eas...

What do you think of SPD's win in saarland? Difficult to interpret. The SPD certainly profited from its enemies' plentitude of weaknesses. Let's go through it on by one: The leftist party "Die Linke" has been very strong in Saarland in the past. In fact, it saw its most successful electio...

It's not only about the slap itself, the assailant, or the victim. The context matters as well. The entertainment during Oscar shows was as usual. You have a moderator who, ideally, does some witty jokes about people everyone knows. A bit of roasting has always been part of the show. Everyone who go...

What were all the stereotypes you think were reinforced

America having a violent and uncivilized culture. Hollywood being a good example of that. Toxic masculinity being rife and displayed openly. Stuff like that.

Yes? Of course lol. Have you met people?

It's weird to immediately make it a racial thing when the other guy is also black and it was entirely personally motivated

Never said that it's about race. Weird Americans interpreting my comment according to their own agenda, I guess

Looks like Will Smith did his best to reinforce a plethora of stereotypes with a single action live on air with millions of viewers. do you think that now people will be like "ah yes, those blacks are aggressive and uncivil, I knew it!"? I had Americans in general in mind, but maybe it al...
