It was also Windows 98.

It’s not directly banned in Denmark. It’s basically non-existent, and as such difficult to find people who cares enough about banning it.

Indirectly it is already illegal, because it’s illegal to treat anyone for anything against their will. This includes children.

However, there are still people who send their children to a therapist or a doctor. I don’t know if a ban would change their minds in any way. Perhaps it’s better that the parents get to have that conversation with a doctor instead of just being angry at a law and seeking help at alternative places through religion or whatever. They’d probably do that with or without a law anyway, so if anything, it’s actually better if they have the opportunity to talk to a professional therapist first without just getting told off.

Politicians don’t want to deal with it. They’re afraid the backlash from people who are against all things “woke”, would be bigger than the support from anyone who actually cares about the virtue signaling.

If the practice is actually widespread and secretly done in religious circles, we would benefit from hearing those stories.

The freight prices need to be changed. It’s unacceptable low.

It’s just not reasonable to get free shipping when buying “dollar store” items from the opposite side of the globe in individual packages. The environment is paying for this shit.

Fishermen have this issue.

I found this description interesting.

There’s a sort of labyrinth called Troy Town labyrinths that supposedly have the effect of solving problems for anyone who walks it. It’s obviously pseudo numble jumble, but there might be something to it.

It’s not a labyrinth as such, because there’s only one route from the entrance to the center and no choices to be made. It’s laid out so that the turns go both left and right and the length varies between turns.

Walking through it requires very little thinking and is not super exciting, but the changes ln direction at unpredictable times are enough to keep the consciousness occupied so the subconscious mind can get to work.

Historically they were used for worshipping, which aligns with the idea of getting revelations.

I’m not sure if it’s better or worse than a regular walk in the park, but I think there’s a point to it, because it removes all conscious choices and gets you into the zone of just “doing” something, allowing the brain to work without interference.

Try it, if you can find one.

It’s a slippery slope.

Sure, nobody likes the Russians right now, but it also applies to other immigrants and refugees from elsewhere.

In Denmark a right wing party suggested something similar. They know fully well that immigrants don’t vote for them, and they’d love nothing more than to remove their political representation and eventually remove them from our welfare too.

I’d definitely be wary of who and why they want to remove voting rights for certain tax payers.

You can’t just drive around and vote everywhere . You’ll need permanent residence.

EU citizens are allowed to live and work anywhere in EU, so by default they are also allowed to vote in their municipality where they live. info

I don’t know if the following applies everywhere, but where I live this also includes people from outside EU, if they are allowed to live here permanently.

National elections require citizenship.

Imagine if it’s a live stream, changing the plot as you watch dependent on your reaction.

At first it might be fun to see what happens if Frodo doesn’t throw the ring in the lava, but eventually you gotta ask yourself why you’re wasting your time in front of a screen watching weird cat videos.

The supply chain of clothing is very international.

Most European brands have their clothes manufactured in Europe. It does not matter if the specific brand is French, British or Scandinavian etc. They all use the same factories, roughly speaking. Parts of this might involve outsourcing to China and who knows where else the salary is cheap, but generally the sewing is mostly done in EU still.

However. The textiles used for manufacturing almost always come from various parts of Asia depending on the material. For instance, silk and synthetic fabrics are from China, denim/cotton from India, wool from Turkey etc. It’s very difficult to find textile elsewhere in any meaningful quantity. It might be possible to find a few tiny brands doing something local, but overall, Europe is in no way self-sufficient in textiles. An outlier is Italy. Italian fabrics are known for good quality, but they cost more, so it’s mostly used by luxury brands all over Europe.

CS:GO is the best we can do. It’s a EU decision. Can’t change it now.

This was a topic in 2016, where Trump was all over keeping the coal workers in jobs. How many coal workers does actually USA have? Go ahead, look it up. Also look up how many he saved.

When I last did, I found that there were about 40 000 people employed in coal related jobs in USA, and he didn’t save a single one of them. The coal employment decreased during his term and ever since.

Every year, there are more than 3 million people born in USA. All of those will need a job in 18-25 years or so. Every year, 3 million people will be looking for a job. If the unemployment queue is increased by all the 40k coal employees being laid off at once, you would hardly notice it in the statistics.

I also looked up the Finnish companies. They gradually laid off 400 people from 2022 until today based on the decision to stop the coal power plants. It’s completely neligable. They can easily do other jobs. Even in the same industry, just not coal.

The whole talking point is a nothing-burger.

Economic sanctions is one alternative. See North Korea. It doesn’t work very well against Russia because they do have a lot of resources and their population is used to scarcity. This tactic would be more efficient against, say USA, because quite frankly, the western lifestyle is not self-sufficient.

Another alternative is to use Putin’s own “special military operations” where instead of fighting a war front to front, they attack specific targets or throw people out of windows.

This is difficult for Europe to do, because we like to align with each other before doing anything serious. That way, actual democracies are not fit to do this kind of stuff in comparison to a dictatorship, but it’s possible if anyone feels it’s necessary. However it rarely has a positive outcome. It’s like flipping the table and hoping something better comes up.

Overall, all agressive behavior leads to a losing position. Nobody has ever won a war or even a street fight. Both sides lose. The victory goes to those who wins the peace. So that’s what Europe is constantly trying to do by diplomacy.

Even if I dislike spending ressources on military, it might make sense to armour up, just to keep a seat at the table of peace negotiation.

It’s almost funny how the right wing in every country is both claiming to make very popular politics while also being the minority against the “elite”, which is supposedly a secret coalition of everyone else.

At the same time they are themselves swindling EU funds to go to secret meetings where they coordinate by the same playbook. They’re using the same words and strategy in all of Europe. It’s always projection.

They’re very loud, but it’s time for the citizens in all of Europe to show them that facism is in fact not popular. I have had it with politely ignoring them - we all need to speak up and call out the bullshit as it happens.

Yes. The stable genius is doing everything he can to unite all american trade partners against the US. They don’t really have a choice.

It’s the Americans who ought to worry about it the most.

I don’t think the preparation is meant for full blown war. It’s for disruptions.

Russia won’t be able drive tanks all over Europe any time soon, but they are capable of cutting cables to attack energy distribution, hacking payment methods and other infrastructure dependent on networks.

Remember the start of Covid? There was plenty of toiletpapir, hand sanitizer and test kits for everyone, but nobody could get it in stores for a long time because everyone wanted it at the same time. It’s better if everyone stock up over a longer period of time, so it doesn’t crash the supply chain when it is needed.

That’s why you ask for the sources, so you can check them.

I think this kind of prompting is an important part of how to use it in any meaningful manner.

You can also input your own sources and ask it to only use that. For instance by uploading a pdf of a law and ask it to figure out how to do something totally legal and then let it show where in the law it says so. You’ll obviously still need to check that the law actually says so and that it isn’t hallucinating.

It’s usually possible to ask the AI for the sources. A proper journalist should always question the validity of their sources.

Unfortunately, journalism is dead. This is just someone writing funny clickbait, but it’s quite ironic how they use AI to discredit AI.

It makes sense for a journalist to discredit AI because AI took their jobs. This is just not the way to do it, because AI is also better at writing clickbait.

History repeats. While Europe has learned from it, USA is doing everything they can to make Vance the next Franz Ferdinand.
