Yeah... bird smashers... say, do you have a cat?

Ganz Ehrlich, wo hat denn die aktuelle Regierung mal so richtig scheiße gebaut? So Andi Scheuer Niveau Scheiße oder lass all unser gas in Russland kaufen scheiße oder CDU Maskenaffäre scheiße? Die schlimmsten Sachen sind wahrscheinlich die, die von der Vorgängerregierung übrig geblieben sind (looking at you SPD, hab nicht vergessen, dass du Teil der Vorgängerregierung warst)

Ich bin mit der aktuellen Regierung so zufrieden wie seit Jahren nicht mehr. Wir haben aktuell vll die progressivste Regierung der Welt, trotz der Unzulänglichkeiten die sie immernoch hat.

Und ich glaube ganz ehrlich das die grünen nur ihre Prinzipien über Board werfen muss weil die am linken Bein die SPD geklammert hat und am rechten die FDP die beide lustig kichern. Und das ist alles immernoch viel viel viel viel viel viel viel besser als das was sich anbahnt

Iirc correctly the monkey cats ( or however they are called ) actually just prefer a specific coffee plant that is more rarely used as the ones used for the vast amount of coffee in the world ( e.g. robusta or arabica). However, if the beans of this variation are used directly, it tastes exactly the same. There is a scientific paper about this. Long story short: people are drinking shat out coffee for no good reason. What is even worse, it is tried to hold these monkey cats in cages to produce more of this coffee. Again for no good reason. But people fall for the marketing pr gang that the coffee is handpicked by those animals, digested and shat out and they would not go for "yeah we need just to use another plant" because it wouldn't be so exklusive anymore...

Also don't forget about survivorship bias. We don't know how many percent of their buildings are still standing. Probably only the really really good build ones. Also never forget, any idiot can build a bridge that stands. It takes an engineer to built one that barely stands. And that is often what we are doing today. Making our stuff "good enough" as otherwise it wouldn't be economic feasible in the short or midterm. I am still curious how good it would be if we would instead aim for the long-term though..

You mean 2-3 trips per week, right? Maybe with kids it gets one per day or every two days? laughs in 100 percent homeoffice

Exactly this. There was some good coverage in the German podcast Logbuch Netzpolitik. Ashton is also involved in companies selling software to "solve" the CSAM issue with methods the scientific community says will not solve it and most likely will make everything worse, not only in the topic but also others like privacy overall.

No, it's not gaming, it's gambling. Gaming is if you get exactly what was promised for exactly what you payed. Gambling is if you maybe get what was promised while being disguised in gaming mechanics to be more appealing. And yes, loot boxes in games are gambling and should be banned.

Oh yes yes. Of course the time would be enough to apply policies to tackle the problems created by this. However my experience of humanity so far is that those time will not be properly used to tackle the problems 🙃 therefore it will still feel like a cold turkey (IMHO)

Well yes. But it is the same as like quitting smoking and drinking as a heavy abuser from one to the other day. Your next few weeks will be not so cool. On this case it will be not so cool decades
