Nah the Germans were militaristic arseholes in 1914 too.

Of course the democrats can win again and they will but that DJT won at all let alone a second time speaks volumes about the American people and their fall. Really sad.

I just don’t think the US is a serious country anymore. Any country that elects a man like Donald Trump for a few percent off their veggies (OK probably not veggies in America) and cheaper eggs is not a serious place. Shame, I really used

The truth is simply that Americans want Donald Trump. A country that votes for Donald Trump is not about to vote for a top down socialist president.

It’s a podcast and you’re acting like it’s just been signed into law.

I don't care how much fun they have with other gypsies or Pakistani housewives. I am telling you directly that I don't want that life for me . That's all. So I learned German, because it is in accordance with my own ideal

If you can't even enjoy speaking the language in a controlled environment with other people who suck at speaking then you probably aren't going to learn anywhere. Same as this idea that Anki will magically somehow fix 8 years of

So why not move onto the next level? I assure you at B2 and C1, the questions cannot be solved with pattern matching.

Anki is basically soul destroying. Go to an in-person class and start having fun talking to other people. That's where everything changed for me.

by twixfel 2y ago
I understand that perfectly, but that's still isolation from wider society. Like living like a Gypsy or an illiterate Pakistani housewife in Northern England. Why would I actively choose that life for myself, when it's not the o

I disagree, I got to B2 in 2 years in Germany by simply making time to go to my local Volkshochschule to learn (i.e. evening classes). Why? Because it was fun and I enjoyed learning a langauge. If you want to learn, you will. If living

not all 17 year olds are equally intelligent you know? And if even one kid is convinced to murder his parents by an AI then that’s one too many.
223.
by twixfel 2y ago
It comes into play eventually, but I would say long after an AI has advised your kid to murder you. Having an AI that advises people to murder people hardly seems like a good thing. Also the parents were supervising him, hence their knowin

Pretty standard genocidal tactic I guess.

But what's wrong with caring about Ukrainian children?

I don't want to read that shit in the first place, though.

So? It's OK to hate some people, for the right reasons, that is.

I'm British but have lived in Germany for several years. I'd say the Germans are explicitly more conservative than Brits. Germany has several aspects in business and law which do, and admittedly I never lived in medieval times,

It was 50% funded by the west so it was much ours as theirs. I think it was rightly bombed by Ukraine anyway, not nato.

Science is built on trust because in reality it’s not practical to check every single result in a paper. Often it’s literally impossible (e.g the result from a one of a kind, billion dollar machine).

I don't earn 6 figures (sadly); those eggs are affordable.
232.
by twixfel 2y ago
Sounds affordable.
233.
by twixfel 2y ago
Doesn't sounds like they're unaffordable to working class people at all then. They're affordable in the UK and working class Americans are richer than working class Brits.

The UK is just developed country facing the same problems associated with an aging population as every other developed country (and also many developing countries—sucks for them...). There's absolutely nothing special about the UK and

So, accelerationism?

How much are eggs in the US? I just did some googling and I assume the sources are wrong because all the prices they quote for eggs are really low.

Yes, but good luck trying to watch them when the thumbnails in the side bar are full of seductive junk.

It doesn't need to die but they've not made a single redundancy since 1994, which speaks for it self. VW is just a microcosm of the sclerotic and backwards German economy.

by twixfel 2y ago
Living in Germany you really feel it. Everything is in decline but what's worse is Germans are in some perverse way proud of it, every shitty system, every fucked up backwards process is unavoidable and The Best Way To Do It (and also

Problem is assembly could literally be just two guys in a quiet pub sitting at a table having a pint speaking quietly about white supremacy. So your idea of policing people meeting is kind of nonsense and I can't even fathom how you c
