That reducing supply (shutting down nuclear) had no impact on electricity prices. Doesn't ring true. Simple google search you recommended confirms it.

That doesn’t really ring remotely true.

Thiel certainly gives me antichrist vibes.

Germany just has terrible demographics. Fill a country with old people and you get Germany, of course things are falling apart. It doesn’t mean democracy doesn’t work, it just means the elderly are voting for higher and higher pensions at

Germany has always had strange (bad) laws about insulting people. It's literally nothing to do with the internet. You are betraying your ignorance by saying they "must be stopped"—they've been around since the country

Most people wouldn't accept a new country being made over their heads within their land. Jewish people had largely not been there since Roman times. That's a long, long time. Would you accept a country being founded in yours

No, definitely the correct post. Israelis and Israel defenders like to try to whitewash Israeli war crimes by talking about gay rights. It is irrelevant. Palestine could (and maybe is) be the most homophobic place on the planet—it is irr

This thread is literally about an article in which it is outlined that there is indeed a famine in Gaza.

Should our support for Israel killing Palestinians indiscriminately be inversely proportional to gay rights in Palestine? Does that make any sense? Anyway Israel has fascists in power. They aren’t the good guys any more, if they ever were

Crazy how much Covid radicalised the average American.

by twixfel 1y ago
Huh the pandemic must have really radicalised you then I assume, like so many other Americans.

Yeah I'm surprised she didn't donate to the Trump campaign, seems like a huge misstep on her part.

Crime isn't high. No real risk of random violence in my experience (unlike the US, e.g. >weekly school shootings etc.). Taxes and economy, they aren't good right now true.

I live in Germany and speak German so that criticism doesn't really apply to me and as far as I'm concerned you're not talking about me, just my home country. But yes, you hate the UK clearly, though I guess you predictably n

> I get that full fat coke is an idiomatic phrase but it stems from honest ignorance towards macronutrients You don't understand. It's literally just a reference to full-fat and semi-skimmed milk, like a small joke. It's

What is there to explain? Your examples make no sense, aren't even bad things, or are purely anecdotal. For example, that smart people from Southern Europe can move to London and thrive is something Britain can be proud of. There ce

I suppose you must simply have a planet-sized chip on your shoulder in that case. Terribly sorry a British woman broke your heart, or whatever it was that someone did to you. All the best.

The UK system ranks a fair bit above the antiquated German system, you should be aware that there are 3 types of schools, with only one that teaches Latin etc., and the other two of them are considered shit, one German even told me that if

It's not about who I want to lead. The USA has already stated to the world that it has no desire to lead and wants to retreat from the global stage. It's more about survival at this stage. Of course the UK cannot lead, it is to

I'm similar in that I had hugely admired the USA for as long as I've been politically aware (so a bit over 15 years) and dreamt of living there one day. That's all changed now of course, I think we need to keep the USA on si

Based on the things he said and the things he advocated for I consider him to have been a bad, unchristian man. I am not on the left, I am closer to a classical liberal.

He didn't deserve to die; Charlie Kirk was quite an awful, abnormal, un-christian man. These are not conflicting ideas.

We aren't at his funeral and he's a public figure. It was Voltaire who said "We owe respect to the living; to the dead we owe only truth". I tend to agree. He's a public figure, he's fair game to criticise.

I think it's quite clear what he means tbh, unless you don't follow American politics.

I very much doubt he ever expected that he would ever the victim of gun violence that he elsewhere accepted as an acceptable price to be paid.

That's not the whole story though. Whatever weapons are available in the UK, they're far harder to obtain than in the US. It's a mixture of both of these issues. Whenever I visit the USA, what always strikes me quite quick

Indeed on Hacker News all posts about the two Minnesota politicians were assassinated were immediately flagged and buried. It's clear where biases lie both here and on reddit.

OK but these assassinations an assassination attempts are happening in the US, not the UK.

I am not invested in Reagan’s legacy by any means. I only wished to communicate that I am, or was, very far from being anti American.
