- The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering
I don’t know, life before the industrial revolution was pretty shit for regular people too.
I’d rather not have to worry about my family (and friends) starving to death during the next famine. 40-60% of children in medival europe died before adulthood. I can’t even imagine the psychological suffering caused by this alone. Then there was frequent war and disease outbreaks, basically no healthcare, and so on…
I’m not saying that everything’s great nowadays, we urgently need to fix many issues. But many things were way, way worse before modern civilization.
Der Vorstand der Deutschen Stiftung Patientenschutz, Eugen Brysch, hält die Einführung einer Widerspruchsregelung gar für verfassungswidrig. Grundsätzlich sei jeder medizinische Eingriff ohne Zustimmung des Betroffenen eine Körperverletzung, sagte Brysch der Zeitung Augsburger Allgemeinen.
Körperverletzung nach dem Tod?
Werden Obduktionen auch nur nach ausdrücklicher Zustimmung durchgeführt? Wäre mir neu.

I guess we should start barbequing pet dogs then. At least that’s less cruel than factory farms, fwiw.
Payments were also reportedly made to politicians from other European countries. Without providing further details, sources stated that apart from Germany, the countries included France, Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Hungary.
Damn, I wish they shared the parties and politicians involved.
But that breeds diseases like avian flu and swine flu that will eventually kill loads of humans when they become human transmissible. It’s all just a bit delayed this time.
Weird that this takes so long, with an ongoing war right here in Europe…
I agree that many urban areas need a lot more and better public transport, which is a systemic solution.
In rural regions it’s not practical to build enough infrastructure to replace private transport though. Electric cars are a good solution there and will also get more affordable in the next years (over the lifetime they are already roughly as cheap as gas cars).
BP and Shell only have that much power exacly because people buy fossil fuels from them. If demand would drop, their profits and political power would drop accordingly. As long as we don’t even hold the biggest financiers of these companies responsible, how can anything change? Demand drives supply.
It’s like saying “As long as hitmans exist, I won’t give a shit about the people who pay hitmans, all consumption under capitalism is unethical anyways so anything goes.” As long as we ignore those who actually fund the problem, we won’t be able to fix anything.
I’d be surprised if any country responded militarily. It’s not in the interest of anyone to risk WW3 over Taiwan, and China knows this. In contrast to Russia, they are probably competent enough to take Taiwan in a day or two before anyone can send significant aid.
There would be massive economic implications though. The most effective deterrence that western countries have are sanctions, and they can’t let China invade without consequences to keep the deterrence effective (also for other countries), so they’d have to be used. Investment in China would probably be banned for decades to reduce reliance.
If hundreds of millions of Chinese fall back into poverty due to the invasion, that would be a serious threat for political stability in China.
Even if they managed to recover all chip factories after a full scale invasion (which the Taiwanese could easily sabotage), the production is based on a lot of western technology, which they couldn’t replicate for decades. So the factories would be of little use.
Chinas economy is also very reliant on exports to western countries (US, Japan, Europe), if they invaded Taiwan that would plunge the world economy into the worst crisis ever seen that would hit China especially hard. They’re already struggling with serious demographic and other economic issues that will put them into a difficult spot in the next decades. Invading Taiwan would be very, very terrible for basically everyone, and suicide for the CCP.
The Taiwanese use the meme all the time. Obviously not because it looks like Xi in particular and especially because of fragile censoring, but because they like to be racist against themselves. That must be it.
Calling Trump a guinea pig is probably also considered racist in lemmygrad.
Chips sind inzwischen derart essentiell für unsere Wirtschaft, da können wir uns nicht nur auf Taiwan als Zulieferer verlassen. Das hat nichts mit politischer Ausrichtung zu tun, das ist eine Maßnahme nach der Chipknappheit durch Corona. Leider können kleinere Unternehmen in dem Wirtschaftszweig schon lange nicht mehr mit den großen Konzernen mithalten.
Linke geben den unpersönlichen Konzernen gerne Milliarden
Wo z.B.?
Dem Bäckermeister nicht weil der dann einen Mercedes fährt und man da neidisch ist.
Tafeln sind überlastet, Studenten können sich kein Essen mehr leisten, 2,8 Millionen Kinder wachsen in Deutschland in Armut auf. Ach die kommen schon klar, Hauptsache der Bäckermeister bekommt fette Luxusprodukte subventioniert.
Solidarität mit Armen wäre eindeutig Neid, deswegen nur Solidarität mit denen die sich einen Mercedes leisten können.
Das kann man sich echt nicht ausdenken, wtf.
The neat thing is, you can add stuff like range checks and logging for getters and setters without changing every call. Separation of concerns is also vital in larger projects.
Ich sehe nicht viel was die Grünen in der aktuellen Regierung falsch gemacht haben. Sicher gibt es einzelne Situationen die besser hätten laufen können, aber bei den Koalitionspartnern habe ich deutlich mehr zu kritisieren und dagegen können sie sich logischerweise nicht durchsetzen.
