You want to fall over. The more energy goes into moving you, the less energy goes into destroying you.

Thank you for the article. It brought up something quite interesting that i wasn’t aware off before:

But why does Spain rely so heavily on Russia despite the almost global disapproval? The answer lies in this country’s extensive regasification capacity, which stands at 67.1 bcm - the largest in all of Europe. This enables Spain to receive LNG shipments on behalf of other countries that lack the necessary infrastructure, making it a critical hub for European energy trade.

looking a bit into it i found this article:

So it seems that Spain is also taking the flak here for other EU countries that want to profit from Russian gas but not be directly associated with it.

Is it more? I know Spain is still buying some LNG from Russia, but i would have thought the amount went down, not up.

The German state of Bavaria once did something in the direction of moving away from MS. When Microsoft put their German headquarters into Munich the idea was scraped.

Do you think you could teach Linux to your grandmother?

Yes. Set automatic package updates, Install firefox with ublock and put it on the taskbar, and bookmark Facebook and Youtube for her. It is the same thing as under Windows.

I would argue that for the most “tech illiterate” users the Linux experience can be made even easier than the windows experience, because you have to set up everything for them anyways.

Bonus points for jumping onto latinos and blacks who didnt turn out for Biden/Harris and immediate show that they are deeply racists twats who just virtue signaled before, to get these communities to vote for them.

“alleged”

Palantir is also deep diving into Israeli war crimes, helping to operate the apartheid surveillance and designating women and children as targets for assassinations.

Why? Maybe if people understand that what they are scared with to be “communism” is affordable housing, public transport and education and not being harassed by police, they will break out of the propaganda alltogether.

That a lot of people have a problem with drinking and drug abuse and we have a toxic drinking culture doesn’t make it a good idea to join in on it.

Many women are victims to sexual violence and domestic violence during their life. While these also happen without alcohol or other drugs, these increase the chance of violence significantly.

If you are serious about the other person, stay sober.

It is only anecdotically but none of the people i know had a club/bar/festival relationship survive. And when they ended, they ended with a lot of drama. One couple i knew briefly that went to parties together all thf time later accused each other of being violent.

Meanwhile the people that met through shared hobbies and friends do quite well, or managed to end their relationships in a respectful manner when things didnt work out.

But i guess not doings drugs and warning of their detriment means i am being “terminally online”. After all, all the cool kids do drugs. And the older they get while doing that, the cooler they get…

My experience is that such relationships usually end badly and quickly. Also sleeping around is not curing being an “incel”. It is just masking the insecurity, lack of maturity and lack of responsible behavior.

However if you meet at a bar and decide to meet for a date later, having alcohol or drugs involved in that date also is a huge red flag. That means the person doing drugs has issues with their emotional regulation. Also especially for women doing drugs with some relatively unknown men is increasing the risk of being date-raped.

If you aren’t a creep, don’t do creepy shit. Involving alcohol and other drugs definitely is worse for everyone involved than being sober.

Did you even read what it wrote? Nowhere do i say that.

If you only strike conversations with people at a party with the intent of getting into their pants, you will not be invited to many parties. If you hold a conversation and then start to like each other, asking for a date is something different.

Your cousin coming to your home to visit or asking you to live there is very different from him coming to murder you and steal your house and tell the world how he is right to life there and your family trying not to have their house stolen is literal terrorism

You should know when it is appropriate to ask and when not:

Don’ts:

• complete strangers
• people who cannot retreat, e.g. cashiers, waiters and the like, on a busy train/bus in an elevator etc.
• people clearly not in a space to socialize.
• asking for sex
• being ambigious about intentions

Do’s:

• people you held a normal conversation with before
• in a space where they are comfortable and either party can leave easily if things get awkward
• being clear about it being a date
• public place with individual privacy, e.g. going out for a coffee
• no alcohol or other drugs

The thing is that it becomes different when the order becomes “go to your home town, shoot anyone who disobeys, including your friends and family.”

It might take a decade of brutal civil war, but look what happened in Syria. In the end the people in the army were also tired of murdering their own people.

It would be great to standardize an HTTP header that says the user is underage, which could be sent by any OS/browser combination that has suitable parental controls.

I think this underestimates the tech savvyness of teenagers when it comes to circumvent such measures. Or maybe i am mistaken because when i was in that age range it was common to know more about computers than the parents.

Yeah about that: These laws get passed. They are enacted. People challenge them in court. The court strikes it down after a long time. Another slightly differently worded law with the same content gets passed and enacted. People challenge it in court…

Or well, the Authoritarian scum just ignore the courts.

What is needed is a strong resistance on every level. This needs to be brought to media attention, needs to be protested, the people behind it need to be public ousted, shamed and stripped from all power, the companies behind it need to be boycotted and sabotaged so they go out of business…

Waiting for courts to deal with things does not cut it with authoritarians. They only understand collective power against them.

Whatever the political motives/lack of logic behind it, these faces look like they are related by blood.

Almost anytime i want to do something a bit more interesting in Excel i have to look for a solution on the web too. And i am considered one of the better Excel users in my working environment.

Let me explain you how the Red-Workers-Movement of 1922 in the Oblast-Utbackya had this structural issue in their organization by the theory of famous late 19th century analyst.
