It’s a kind of mix of a proxy war. Russia is involved itself but Ukraine is used as a proxy by the west I guess?

Get ratio’ed

That question is a prime example of a bad question for surveying anything. “Too many” is a relative question but it does not say what we should relate it to. I think the amount of people coming here are overwhelming our structures we have for integration. But the solution in my mind can’t be to stop people from coming here by force. Either we invest a lot more into integration so we stop being overwhelmed or we invest more into developing peace and prosperity outside of Europe. Answering this question with yes will lump me in with people saying yes because they just flat out don’t want outsiders in their country.

Yes I agree and I think I expressed that in the first half of my comment.

That’s one part of the lesson here yes. I definitely needed a minute to figure out why this whole thing caused a negative emotion in me. And going through this process will hopefully help me do it quicker the next time over. But on the other hand a bit of empathy for humans behaving like humans wouldn’t hurt either. It’s no wonder men react to the topic like they do, identifying with the person in a scenario sharing your gender is simply how human brains work. It’s why representation of diversity is important, but the same effect obviously also works on men.

I think this is an important point on the interpretation of the question. For women it seems like “Be in the wild with the worst possible man or the worst possible bear” and then the bear seems to “win”. If you ask a guy he naturally kind of identifies with the man and the question becomes more a “be in the wild with you or with a bear”. And then choosing the bear seems like a judgement about them.

I loathe tiktok but if someone had banned Reddit while I was still using it I would have been hella mad. On the other hand it would have been “How will I manage without unhinged shitposts mixed with ads” from the outside

Even if he didn’t use contacts just experience, education and soft skills are worth a lot

It means there was a majority of people who decided these people shouldn’t be in charge after witnessing what they did when they were in charge?

And more importantly, is it ok if we carpetbomb his neighbourhood?

Fairly certain that wasn’t me

Is this actually in response to my comment?

Russia is in no position where it needs to “self defend”. Its troops won’t be attacked if its troops leave Ukraine. The right to self defense is what Ukraine is using right now.

And Switzerland doesn’t really count, they don’t belong to the defense pacts

The good days didn’t have uber ;)

God yes. Having ten buttons on the turn signals is a nightmare. No I don’t want to play “guess which button controls the wipers” when I sit in an unknown car for 10 minutes. Thanks.

Noone gets to use their phone. Bring a deck of CDs or talk. Let’s go back to the good days.

Damn, my brain got way to happy about the numbers being so close that I completely overlooked that. I’m gonna defend myself by saying that this was early in the morning ;)

Edited my original comment to reflect this fact.

A quick googling tells me a burger is about 3kg of CO2 equivalents. 1L of gas seems to be about 2,5kg.

Now if you were to eat local and seasonal food I’d guess you can get more efficient than burning oil.

Edit: As @bjorney correctly pointed out a quick google in the morning, before the brain functions properly kick in, isn’t the best way to produce comments on numbers. I did NOT account for the factor of about 15 that a burger needs to get close the energy stored in a liter of gasoline.

Edit to the edit: Just out of curiosity I did another quick google (please brain, be functioning now) and it seems that to get 8500kcal from oats you need about 2,5kg. This seems to produce about 1kg of co2 equivalents. I am certain that this does not include the amount of co2 the human is expelling in excess by using their muscles instead of a motor, so the whole discussion is probably moot anyways.

Messaging layer security exists now, just a matter of implementing it for xmpp
