  • You are supposed to upvote things that:

    • you like
    • belong in the community it’s posted in
    • upvoting favors it for the algorithm, ranking it higher and making it stay longer. If you want others to see the stuff, you upvote.

    With comments, you are supposed to upvote things that contribute to the discussion, even if you disagree with it, but in practice people often just upvote what they like and agree with and downvote what they don’t agree with and there is pretty much nothing anyone can do to change that. So do what you think is right.


  • Wie man das schützt ist einfach eine Abwägungsfrage. Wenn wir sagen das das zu kompliziert und zu teuer ist, kommen halt Leute an und sabotieren es. Die Kosten für den Aufwand müssen wir tragen das ist richtig, aber dann haben wir im Ergebnis halt ein System was schwerer sabotiert werden kann.

    Das muss man, also z.b. du, entscheiden was dir lieber ist: manchmal halt Sabotage, oder der Aufwand.

    Ganz konkret und realwirtschaftlich werden wir sehen was für Frostschäden an den Gebäuden in den betroffenen Gebieten entstanden ist. Da hätten die Eigentümer wahrscheinlich lieber 10 Euro mehr für Objektschutz an kritischen Punkten gezahlt, über Steuern, als einmal zerstörte Heizleitungen auszutauschen.

    Erhalt von Infrastruktur kostet halt einfach Geld. Wenn man Eigentum hat, wie ein Haus, und sich nicht ausreichend drum kümmert, über Reparatur und Wartung geht es halt kaputt.

    Was die Praxis Frage angeht ist es das gleiche: Wenn eine lokale Gegebenheit verhindert das man es ordentlich macht, kann man ja umbauen. Vielleicht keine gute Idee Starkstromkabel überirdisch zu verlegen wo man einfach dran kommt. “Ja unterirdisch verlegen ist so teuer”. Ja. Tja.


  • To enter, you need a visa. They’re timed permits to enter countries for a specific purpose.

    There are travel visas for a short time and there are work visas that are longer time and allow you to work. (you are not allowed to work with just a travel visa).

    Then the process is different per country. The next step is “residency” and then the next is applying for citizenship. Each country has different conditions for when that’s possible and how quickly.

    As a rule of thumb, if you can get a stable job, or you’re rich they usually let you in and let you stay. Sometimes there are special recruitment programs that you can look up at the local embassy or under search terms such as “migrating to [country]”. Those that are looking for immigration usually advertise the ways to do it.








  • Vor kurzem sagte Wladimir Putin vor der russischen Militärführung, es sei “unwahrscheinlich”, dass “mit den jetzigen politischen Eliten” in Europa überhaupt eine Lösung möglich ist – nicht nur in Sachen Ukraine. Das werde erst “nach einer Auswechslung der politischen Eliten in Europa” möglich sein.

    Aha. Wann. Wo. Quellenarbeit? Lieber nicht? Aber sich über Desinformation beschweren, genau mein Humor.

    Ich zweifel dabei nicht an das die Darstellung stimmt. Aber das unterscheidende Merkmal zwischen guter Information und Desinformation ist der Nachweis. Wer das nicht liefert, unterstützt eigentlich praktisch Desinformation.





  • Don’t confuse how you think it works, what people say how it works and how it actually works.

    Funnily enough, there is a harry potter fanfic “…and the methods of rationality” that put it very succinctly:

    1. observe that you are confused by a situation
    2. detail what the confusing contradiction is, exactly
    3. observe precisely what is happening and adjust your world view.

    I don’t understand the government coverup.

    In corporate (or democratic) America, everyone is expendable at anytime.

    The coverup protects people, but if everyone is expendable at any time, they would not need to do that.

    If they are doing it anyway, to protect people, that must mean those people aren’t expendable.

    If people in corporate or democratic systems are replaceable and these people aren’t replaceable, the actual system at work can’t be corporate or democratic.


    Put differently, even if Trump is a figurehead and replaceable, the structure behind him ultimately isn’t. It’s very specific people in very specific positions of power and wealth, who want to increase their power and wealth. Having one of them replaced (forced to give up power or wealth or both), is the opposite of what they want to achieve.

    Also, the whole “coverup” is theater. It’s been theater since Epstein died. Everyone already knows, there is no amount of proof that will make people do things now, especially not after ICE is already doing what they are doing, and especially not after the different hints at war and annexation of Greenland, Canada and other issues and the whole military leadership staying silent and signaling at least tolerance if not agreement.

    Having it made public may actually have the opposite effect than is intended and expected of a just society. “Look at the crimes you can get away with if you follow us.” “The legal apparatus can’t touch us, what makes you think you can do anything.”
