Russia fought along Nazis to occupy eastern europe afterwards. It was not a liberator. As for Turks, it was Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth that stopped Turks by Vienna. As for „most Ukrainians“, western Ukraine was not under Russian control

People I know that do this usually offload kids to kindergarten, hire nanny or let SO handle them. Or combination of above.

I don't have any intersecting talking points with coal runners though. When you start stretching coal runners definition, long-distance-flying-loving „greens“ will become coal runner colleagues than me :)

It's nowhere near soviet era planning. Soviet era planning was factory-made identical blocks of blocks of flats. Typically with apartment blocks surrounding kindergarten, school and a supermarket with a cafeteria. 3 minutes city if you

As a fellow (ex-)soviet from up north... Soviet way of building sucked. You guys had it a tad easier, but in USSR-proper the standardisation sucked big time. It's damn fantastic now that building a custom private house in a legal way i

Climate-wise, those hypocrites is a good chunk of that demographic. I'll change my mind when I see those people calling out en-masse mass long distance tourism. Or Greta yachta BS which generated much more pollution than 2 passengers i

It's up to the club. But if a club is fine with hypocrite posers, then it is a hypocrite posers club. Which is fine. Many people want to be hardcore, but their moms don't let them.

I guess we're far off-topic, but anyway... As an outsider, I find that part of German history fascinating. It's a miracle that Germany was neutered relatively peacefully and it took just a generation or two. Especially when you co

Yes. And that's why it's truly „far“ left. Stuff like this is what gets one labeled „far“. Same for the opposite end of the horse shoe.

All communities have some diversity in them. Maybe they should pay attention to their hypocrite peers too.

That's exactly the old good european far-left. Lookup e.g. RAF.

When constant progress becomes the dominant culture, counter-culture is, well, counter to that. And conservative counter culture is not exactly going back to X era. You can't step into the same river twice. It's a different path o

Mandatory TLS in browsers, E2E encrypted chats bypass... I see a pattern there.

I was thinking about knives carrying laws.

Sometimes overreaching laws is the only way. E.g. knife carrying laws.

Some people will claim that fixing broken windows and therapy session just generates GDP! Yay for booming stock market lead by therapists and window installers...

That’s what I was trying to say in my original post. More sleep means less time for the economy. Different people may allocate it differently and some may go for weird schedules. But either way it means less time consuming and less GDP gene

If you sleep on weekends during the day, you won’t do stuff during the day. So overall it will be less participating in economy. On top of that, sticking to your circadian rhythm is important too.

Yes. IMO modern western problems can’t be solved without ditching GDP. Pretty much any issue from pollution to health to mental health can be solved but it will hurt GDP.

But you have to find time for sleeping during the day. It may be not an issue for the performers and people making money in those industries. But audience will shrink a lot.

I worked all nighters as a teenager and then slept at school. I didn’t have trouble in sleeping either, I happily did that during the day at school. But going with very sleep for teenagers is not that good for development. And I guess schoo

On the other hand, if there was a big push for more sleep, some industries would take a nose dive. Live entertainment, bars, social media, gambling etc. Wonder if at the end GDP would be up or down. But I guess it’d be a win for the society

Which is being under attack by some people who want to build a hegemonic monolith dominated by few.

Europe is essentially a market economy for economical and societal experiments. Ton of sovereign nations that can try out different things and the rest can see what works and what doesn't. Too bad some people want to abuse EU to destro
