for me it’s 2 consecutive “nights” of 17 hours. That way I’ll get about 3 to 4 hours of actual quality awakeness. Doesn’t work always though, sometimes I can’t fall asleep enough.

Anything below that is always crap, no matter what.

Like every time a country conducts genocide people close their eyes and don’t want to admit that, facing such crimes against humanity, every single Israeli has the duty to do whatever they can to stop their government. No matter if its a Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Jinping, Putin or Netanyahu (or some political conglomerate), and no matter where the injustice and moral corruption began or what once was, the people have to stand up against a corrupt system at that point. Of they don’t they are indeed complicit, every single time.

Of course they would. And communist regimes literally did consolidate into dictatorships on their own from the very beginning. At the end communism is inherently authoritarian, which is the core problem.

The current downfall of capitalism could likewise be blamed on Russian influence to make it look less awful, which is likewise documented. While it holds truth it still is a really bad argument.

The greater the income disparity, the stronger authoritarianism becomes, the more fascistic it becomes. It’s always the same, which is why it has to be held in check, something the USA outspokenly do not want to do. Communism, Maoism, Xiism etc. are just taking a shorter route to authoritarianism.

“My teeth are killing me” meant something pretty different back then.

Personalized propaganda is quite something these days.

Haha, thanks mate. 😁 I’ll rather have my fun with them though for reasons I just outlined here, for them to either take and grow or completely ignore / misunderstand. https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/14637515

damn, you’re constructing new bogeymans to punch at an accelerating pace! That increasing efficiency curve gives me some real market liberalism vibes. 📈

In case you really don’t get it, look at what you answered to initially and then ask yourself how your accusation relates to that. You keep accusing others of things to then throw punches at those accusations (the bogeyman) to immediately force the other person into a defensive position, even if those accusations weren’t even on-topic. It’s a manipulative communication strategy to one-up your perceived ‘opponent’ in a discussion right from the start. Sadly this is a very common thing to come from political extremists, causing anyone who’s aware of this to be even more wary.

Nobody, absolutely nobody should ever reply to something this toxic as you can only lose. So to reduce the emotional tension you’ve might caused and show how ridiculous the whole interaction is I’ll make fun about you.

This the only honest explanation you’ll get from me about this.

It’s hilarious how I don’t even need to say anything more than that those two websites are bad and you immediately constructed a whole bogeyman to punch at.

Anyone who’s visiting lemmygrad.ml (btw having a logo literally showing a battle tank) for more than 30 minutes and reading replies will not just see phenomenal bias towards China, the USSR and BRICS but utter denial of anything bad about them (usually through a mix of whataboutism and rabbit holes of political theory that eventually lead nowhere unless seen through a romanticized lense). Common “NATO caused Ukraine” and even old USSR propaganda nonsense gets flung around. Meanwhile you have to click through it really hard to find even one, for example, China-critical post (couldn’t find even one). Same with hexbear. The bias is as bad as your comebacks.

Well educated people are able to see and criticize all kind of wrongdoing, let it be from Russia, Israel, USA, China, socialism, capitalism or even some internet dork in the comment section. Those communities can not, they’re purely ideology- and doctrin-driven.

I welcome anyone reading this to visit lemmygrad.ml or hexbear.net and make up their own mind. 🙂

Nice bogeyman you got there, really polished. You must have worked hard on it.

If that’s your argument then I assume the “nazi” accusation is just bs. Lemmygrad and Hexbear were full of extremists.

I can also cite academic papers that apparently prove homeopathy works or, if time doesn’t matter, that lobotomy is worth a nobel prize. Doesn’t mean they ain’t of low quality / biased and pro-shit.

Dude, there were literal happy posts all over the place when Kissinger passed. There are US-critical memes on Lemmy and the Fedi all the time, in addition to those making fun of Russia, China, communism etc. Most people are aware that the US is shit. However they’re also aware that the USSR back then and China right now are also huge piles of garbage, politically speaking (country and people sure are nice!).

Has it ever cross your mind that most people ain’t pissed because you’re anti-US, but because you’re pro-shit?

Damn, never noticed I couldn’t say stuff like “the US is a shitshow” over here. The agents on my door were always so nice as well!

Buggers, guess I’ll have to buy some Apple stocks now and pleasure myself over a picture of Abraham Lincoln.

Now what’s the juicy backstory to this drama?

I think you underestimate how much storage power is currently being build and how many different technologies are available. In Germany alone there currently are 61 projects planed and in the approval phase boasting a combined 180 Gigawatts of potential power until 2030. Those of them that are meant to be build at old nuclear power plants (the grid connection is already available there) are expected to deliver 25% of the necessary storage capacity. In addition all electric vehicles that are assumed to be on the road until 2030 add another potential 100GW of power.

Of course these numbers are theoretical as not every EV will be connected to a bidirectional charger and surely some projects will fail or delay, however given the massive development in this sector and new, innovative tech (not just batteries but f.e. a concrete ball placed 800m below sea level, expected to store energy extremely well at 5.8ct / kilowatt) there’s very much reason for optimism here.

It’s also a funny sidenote that France, a country with a strong nuclear strategy, frequently buys power from Germany because it’s so much cheaper.
