Gut, viel davon ist sicher Parterhetorik. Aber so groß ist der ideologische Unterschied zwischen Trump und seinen Silicon-Valley-Milliadären und Putin und seinen Gas-Oligarchen auch nicht.

Abgesehen davon ist die AfD eben auch kein homogener Block. Dass sich manche mit Musk und Maga und andere wieder mit Medwedjew treffen, ist nicht unmöglich.

Shared interests. Weak EU is good for non-EU blocks.

Plus, even the fascists are not homogeneous, with some of them actually believing in patriotism, and others selling out to the highest bidder (like China)

Siemous

If you can go with multiple names, I do like my parents’ reasoning: pick one interesting/local name that we like, and one that works in many cultures/languages. Something like Pierre Henry.

My alcohol and caffeine history is pretty typical, grew out of drinking and found a reasonable relationship with coffee and tea.

Now weed gives me hangovers and the potential for bad trips. I have never been a regular stoner, and I am considering limiting myself even further (every few months). Psychedelics even less, but that kind of comes by design, if you are a responsible person.

There is no way in hell that I am touching opiates or amphetamines for recreation. I know I am someone who enjoys drugs, and I don’t know if I had the willpower to stop if I start.

All in all, quite happy with the status quo. Everything in moderation, even the moderation.

Ah, the classic tolerance break. Beloved by stoners and coffee drinkers alike.

Just drink herbal tea then, I guess.

Having said that, I do feel coffee, and I am not going to stop. But herbal tea is my go-to if I want something warm and tasty late in the evening

Yeah, as a guy, I don’t want Aids (or the myriad of other things) either. It’s protecting both sides, wtf. Both people here are obviously fine with hookups, so both are a potential risk after all.

“It was revealed to me in a dream” type of comment

Alright, have a nice day

Mate, where do I even begin here.

1. People have different opinions.

2. AI can make horrifying mistakes and still on average do its intended purpose. If you catch 90% murderers and 10% innocents, that is apparently good enough for quite a few governments.

Both of these things can be true. It still works if it occasionally throws a few innocents in front of the bus.

Next step would be to make owning such devices illegal :(

As a former teen that - due to other reasons - was socially pretty isolated, at this age acceptance from your peers is everything.

I’ve seen a lot of students at climate and social protests. Back in my day, if you deviated from the norm only a bit, you’d be called “edgy”, “gay”, “misled” and so on. When I look at what would have turned you into an outsider back in my not-so-distant past and beaten up after school, and what some students dare to do today, I have some hope. There are good people out there. They are just hard to see behind all the loud, stupid and malicious ones.

Yes, but: not falling into the slop machine takes willpower and learned skills. Modern social media is like a drug. Many adults use drugs responsibly to have good times, but we all agree that we should keep kids away from them.

A good point of view. Someone, somewhere will fight the odds and carry on. Someone will love, hate, create art, suffer, exploit and be exploited, create new nonsense jokes and slang, and make the same mistakes. Quite literally until the the last lights go out.

Wasn’t a core philosophy of Calvinists basically “god loves capitalism” (before the word was really established)?

Nah, that’s not it. Germany has legal and - theoretically - regulated prostitution, and society is not meaningfully different than, say, France in that redgard as far as I can tell.

There are other issues associated with it, but just that one argument alone doesn’t seem to work based on what I’ve seen.
