Es klingt mMn in der Beschreibung auch an, es wiederholt sich aber auch in der Wertung:

Äußerst bedenklich ist allerdings, dass beinahe nur Umweltprobleme thematisiert […] und sich die “richtigen” politischen Positionen grundsätzlich “links” der politischen Mitte befinden.

Es ist aber schon recht klar, dass im Originaltext die “linken” Einstellungen als problematisch dargestellt werden (unabhängig davon ob sie auch rechts vorkommen). Zitat aus dem Text:

Kurz: Die “richtigen” politischen Positionen bzw. Verhaltensweisen sind ökologisch, postmaterialistisch, basisdemokratisch, kritisch, zivilcouragiert, pazifistisch, sozial, antikapitalistisch, egalitär, tendenziell anarchisch bzw. antistaatlich, antihierarchisch, antiautoritär und antikonservativ; mit anderen Worten: “links” der politischen Mitte (linksliberal bis linksalternativ).

That is outdated information, renewables + battery storage have become cheaper than nuclear power.

Side note, not relevant to discussion:

And Nuclear is on par with the safety of solar and wind but you seem prompt to forget that.

This feels rude. Your post already mentions safety of nuclear power as does the link I posted. Just from the fact that I did not reiterate that information you insinuate an opinion on my side that I did neither write nor imply.

On the site there is also a direct comparison: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/death-rates-from-energy-production-per-twh

Grouping Hydro with other renewables is not very nice for wind and solar, which are pretty safe - with the added benefit of being cheaper than nuclear power.

Verstehe ich das richtig, der “hoffnungsvolle” Teil des Kommentars ist, dass wir Die Nazis ja auch “ganz gut” überstanden haben? Und ich dachte meine Sicht auf die Welt wäre dunkel.

Bitte bitte bitte lasst es uns diesmal vorher abwenden.

While I agree that the current official stance on Israel is insane, it is not the majority opinion in Germany.

Do we still have a problem with Antisemitism? Sadly yes, especially now since some people project the behaviour of Israel on German Jews which is absolutely crazy. But I would argue that the overwhelming majority has a positive or neutral view on Judaism.

You sound like you have met too many crazy people from my country. But the loudest people are often not the majority. There are regular surveys on issues like these and I would classify your interpretation of German society as a fringe theory.

I have a lot of problems with our current government but you make it sound as if our current government was working towards a dictatorship. That would be a wild take…

Dissent is not outlawed, as long as you voice your opinion in a sane manner, e.g. don’t chant for the death of other people.

Your first sentence is my whole problem with that framing: Germany is not anti free-speech. It just does not subscribe to the US/UK view that you are allowed to say anything. Maybe voice your opinion without threatening or inciting violence? Maybe the US would be better off if some prosecutor could actually charge Musk after showing the Nazi salute?

I disagree with most of your remaining text but this is too far away from the original topic, I will not comment on that.

German here: Due to our own history, for specific cases, speech is much more restricted here compared to the UK (or the US until recently). These are things like inciting violence or “gruppenbezogene Menschenfeindlichkeit” (hostility towards / discrimination of a group of people).

So if someone chants “Death, death to the IDF” they could be charged. It will not necessarily end in a conviction if it is considered an acceptable protest.

So if you are expected to do something that might be a crime in Germany, it does not seem unreasonable to deny entry. However, the decision should be transparent to the impacted people and they should have the option to fight against that decision. This is the actual infuriating part of this story.

But framing this as a “Free Speech Crackdown” is a very British/US take on our laws.

If you want something to really complain about: The German government still considers Israel an ally and still supports them. We learnt a lot from our own history but somehow “Genocide is bad regardless of who is doing it” did not make the list.

According to reverse image search your friend is the 45 year old Rina Satō https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rina_Satō

Ich sehe es kommen: "Sie haben recht, der Zug in Richtung München wäre von Gleis 32 und nicht von Gleis 2 gefahren. Sie sitzen jetzt in einem ICE in Richtung Hamburg. Soll ich Ihnen eine Liste an Sehenswürdigkeiten aus Hamburg zusammenstellen?

Bitte nicht vergessen, dass ihr Ticket für diese Fahrt nicht gültig ist. Ihre Informationen wurden direkt digital an den Kontrolleur weitergeleitet."

That is an amazing little speech. I think except for the first sentence and the “Thank you” at the end every sentence contained misinformation on renewables. I wonder how long it took them to come up with this density of lies.

It does help with the immediate hunger, but it comes back strong once your body realises it was “cheated” out of calories. I am not sure I can withstand that for a long time. But maybe a short time would already be an improvement.

So thanks I will try to have carrots lying around at all times and try to eat them first between meals. Maybe it helps.

Also have you asked a smoker how it feels to slightly reduce the number of cigarettes per day?

Yes, that is often the case, but reducing it is the hard part. You need to keep it at a lower level for a while before your body adjusts.

Note that for some people it never adapts completely. Those people will always feel hungry or crave a snack and are never satisfied with the level of calories they actually need.

I did not, I know two people who do and they were impressed how easy it was to stick to their recommended diet. However, they are still on it, the interesting part is if you can get off without reverting your behaviour. Also they did not have any side effects so far, so lucky them.

I am currently holding my weight and don’t plan on using it.

Wohngeld kostet so 4 Milliarden https://www.destatis.de/DE/Presse/Pressemitteilungen/2024/09/PD24_373_22311.html

Dienstwagenprivileg 3-5 Milliarden, Steuervorteile auf Kerosin ca. 10 Milliarden https://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/steuerverguenstigungen-pendlerpauschale-dienstwagenprivileg-diese-subventionen-kosten-den-staat-viele-milliarden/28623450.html

Ja, scheint mir genau so richtig zu sein. Wenn du kein Geld mehr zum Wohnen hast, kauf dir einfach ein Flugticket, das bleibt immerhin günstig. /s

Losing weight is very, very, very easy once you make up your mind to do it and have a basic understanding of what food does to the body.

Nice if that is so easy for you. Let me tell you how that feels for me: As soon as my body does not get its usual amount of calories, it replies with relentless hunger. The kind that burns in your stomach and distracts you from everything else. The only thing my brain wants to think about is how to get more food and how tasty it would be. If I don’t give in, I go into energy save mode: I feel exhausted, my body does not want to move or do anything that could cost it valuable calories.

For a lot of people losing weight is not easy. You could also tell a smoker that it is easy to quit smoking, just don’t pick up a cigarette anymore.

This is why things like ozempic are used despite it’s side effect. It gives you time to get in the habit of a healthy diet without the brutal hunger and hopefully your body accepts that diet when you reduce the dosage.

How stupid can a company be to give that much access to an LLM?

The typical science fiction doomsday AI scenarios always assume an intelligent AI. If the current trend continues humanity’s last conversation will end something like this:

"You are absolutely right, I should not have used the nuclear launch codes president Trump entrusted me with to bomb every country on earth.

If you want, I can help you come up with a list of fun activities to do in a bunker."

Well in this case, can I interest you in a rule that allows everyone to carry guns? Works best as an amendment to the constitution.

Keine Sorge, der Planet stirbt nicht. Der erholt sich wieder wenn die Menschen weg sind…
