Understood and agreed :)

I understand your point and you can be proud.

Because maybe it is enough to speak the truth instead of anti propaganda. That being said it is not clear how the money is spent exactly.

I really would strike out the no drugs part and also the natural birth. For some women it might work, but others are going through hell and some are even dying. There is no need for that and I think there is no shame in taking something to relieve the pain or to get a C-section. Follow your feelings and try to follow the doctors advice (if possible). Birth is not a simple thing!!!

But remember water at the airport is quite expensive. So if the airport has refill stations get a small bottle and refill. Also when you board just directly take of your shoes. And bring some warmer clothes if you easily feel cold.

That stuff even happens with UK companies taking over German companies. They think they can just fire the members of the working council, very bad mistake! Remember, if you go to another country, you have to adjust to their law.

Well the US are maybe a bit more innovative here, but actually they are just much more aggressive. Things like facebook, twitter, Reddit etc. need to harvest user data aggressively and sell them. In Europe this is seen very critically so it is much more risky to make this a business model. Also AI, they have not been been particularly clever with Chat GP, they just haven been totally reckless and just ignored any concerns guideline etc. Another sector is Oil and Gas. While Europe heavily suffers in case of energy prices, because they have no natural resources, guess who makes all the profit. The fracking and also other gas industries in the US are booming heavily. China on the other side has not those old and high depts like Japan, US or Europe. And the invest everything in those new technologies like batteries etc. also they have still a very high youth unemployment, so they continue their pish to become a global manufacturing powerhouse. But since wages go up, they have have competition from Asia and Africa. Yes the German industry is not strong at the moment and will not grow also in the next years, but most people are also somehow saturated with what they have. So many people just try to work less, which of course makes it hard to compete with other countries. But I still Europe has a certain edge in „educated“ workforce.

Best example Battlefield. How can you manage to just get worse and worse with every title. And for many games you need to implement new story or major game mechanics etc. but for this one it would be brilliant if they would have only updated the visuals every 5-10 years

The three Snouches

If we would have limitless energy, one decentralized currency would not be so bad in theory. But since our energy is limited, a centralized system makes much more sense. And yes the new creation of a new crypto by any organization, person or company is dodgy thing.

Spain is also super hot. So just install in public buildings aircons that just run when there is to much energy in the grid? Desalination plant that run when there is to much energy or in worst case run a few bitcoin servers. You will quickly realize you need more energy.

I am not sure of assholes. I think they distribute evenly across all nations. On the other side those countries tend to be specifically nationalistic. Russia would also go in this cluster, but it is much more seldom to meet Russians these days in Europe or the US. I just want to add that India has the huge advantage that a lot of people can speak some kind of English. Most with a strong accent, but the percentage of English speaking Indians is very high compared to china, Korea, Japan.

I actually had to buy a new dishwasher and in Germany every dishwasher has to be set to economical cleaning mode as default. That being said there is also a fast mode, but you have to use special tabs that dissolve fast enough. Otherwise they will not dissolve fully during the washing stage and then the stuff would be stuck in the dishwasher after drying and it might seriously reduce lifetime of seals etc. So be careful with short washing programs on modern dishwashers!

It is because they murder them after they report on the whistleblower hotline. You have to act more strategic…

I did not say that it is not. I just fear that even if both sides would be atheists, the persons in charge would continue to keep up their aggressive and gruel behavior. Just because it suppresses empathy for the humans on the other side. But yea religion is a wonderful tool to fuel hate and convey totally absurd messages.

Great now Putin will simply publish made up numbers again next time. So much investment and just like to destroy everything…

I am not sure if it is all 100% religion. But I sure know that the extremists of both side will have a toast on those great news. Netanyahu and his right wing party will love that 4 hostages could be freed by so much violence. At the same time Hamas in control people also love this news. Non of the people in charge on either side cares for the lives of civilians, no matter if they are Israeli or from Gaza or any other country. They just clinge on to power by spreading hate and killing any sympathy for the other side. And this day is truly a sad and devastating day for peace in this region.

You are not in Europe my friend. Why do Americans not even understand their own voting system.

The banner saga. I never liked turn based games, but this one is a banger.

The problem is that not so much industry is around the North Sea. For Germany most of the industry is in the middle and south, so very far away from the generated energy. But in general I think the EU does a great job to show other countries that we could do a lot to reduce CO2 emissions. If only others would care and try to compete here….

I mean they have a finance team for sure, so I guess this is their job… However Steam does a really good job to stay in its borders of where they can provide a good service and do not milk the cow until half live 09 where they just repeat the story of half live 1-3 in a poor way
