Would be kind of funny if the reverse of Brexit happened. Have some pro Europe lunatics take over the fight and make a brexiteer accept the worst deal to re-enter the union.

Yeah, nice thing that everything not fitting your view is propaganda. I mean also what does not fit? If Wikipedia is just a pro US propaganda machine and the source they give, too: Why would the US still be on place one when looking at the absolute numbers?

Also the raw data is not from “NATOpedia”, but from the source you gave. What even is your point? They are lying about China being second place in raw numbers or what? Feels a bit like killing the messenger before thinking about what he said.

I do agree with the US being quite authoritarian and that the US are a good example why capitalism in this form is very bad.

My only points are, that the world is not black and white. There may still be points where the US are doing good (national parks may come to ones mind) and China is surely no workers paradise.

? I really don’t know what you are hinting at. In raw numbers the US will still be number 1 followed by China and per capita adding in countries with a lower incarceration rate and less people than the USA won’t lift up the USA in the ranking.

By raw numbers obviously the US, followed by china with not too many less. Per capita El Salvador and Cuba are on the first two places. So what’s your point? Per Capita and in raw numbers there is a capitalist country and a country which calls itself socialist on place one and two.

Better check your facts before next time.

I somehow don’t really get the concept. I buy a physical book and I can swap my physical book for a digital copy and back? Why would I want this, apart from getting a free digital copy of the book after copying it and swapping back and why would you want to store my personal library for free, when I can always come and get my books back? If I wanted an e-book I’d just get that in the first place.

Yeah, the legendary communist free world, where you went to gulag, if you dared to think of your own. And the awful authoritarian capitalists of bringing up the average quality of life that much since ww2. /S

Sorry, but this view is very much too simple.

Geology, it’s simply fascinating how much you can tell about our earth by holding a mere stone in your hands.

I mean russia ruled out attacking Ukraine and we saw how that went. So why would Macron rule out anything.

I mean, some people get suicided out of a window, which ist still better than being suicided by torture…

I started eating less and being more active. I went down to two meals a day and little to no snacking. One smaller meal in the late morning and one bigger in the late afternoon. Also started to commute by bike at least twice a week and go out hiking more often.

Weight goes down not too fast but at a steady pace.

I mean the Russian navy has a history of being totally inept (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tsushima). Some things don’t seem to change that much.

Through you nose…

As far as I understood is the 29 € ticket will still be offered as a solidarity ticket and the contracts are made by the AStAs.

As far as I understood the whole thing, the 29 € ticket will be your semester ticket. It’s still the solidarity tickez and the contracts are still going to be between your AStA and your local public.transport association

Wood is only good if you produce it regionally. Cutting down forrests to produce wood pellets for heating in Western Europe is very bad. Wood is most of the time not as sustainable as one might think.

Oil and gas are used as much as they are for a reason, but it’s also the reason why we face an ecological tragedy.

It’s not that hydrogen is perfect, but it has more of a place in the future than the other ones.

E-fuels, coal, gas, oil, wood. There I did it.

I also got a geology joke, but it’s schist.

If you rotate your crops the soil does not get tired. If you need to water your crops, then you plant the wrong ones.

Good organic farming thereby is not as monocultural as conventional farming, because you can only use physical methods to fight weed.

Also if you look at the landuse we have it’s very small compared to older times, at least speaking for Europe. The problem is mostly not that we use the space, but how we use and destroy it with conventional farming. Also most of the landuse is for animal food, which can easily be reduced. If you extensively put the farm animals on grass again the nature can also benefit.

You know that “organic” farming does not use pesticides? You also know that fields, where to a certain degree weeds are allowed to grow and which are not handled overly destructive (so organic farming + hedges + smaller patches + fruit circle) are also important ecosystems?
