Just started learning French only to find out you need a Bachelor’s in math just to count past 70.

Cuba didn’t achieve 98% literacy by having a country of concerned parents. They had a massive education push with basically unlimited support from the government.

Placing the responsibility of America’s failure to educate its populace on individuals is honestly kind of insidious. America needs to dedicate resources to education. Period. Their failure to do so is why so many Americans are dumber than stumps.

And the West relies on Chinese manufacturing. All the scare mongering surrounding China, the US already would have pulled investment if they actually were the ones in control. The West has hitched its wagon to China at this point. They have no real alternative to turn towards.

Gute Erklärung aber sprich Deutsch du Hurensohn.

5 billion dollars from the climate and transformation fund? Glad to see we’re really committed to using this money here to combat climate change by building semi conductor factories.

The greens have been an absolute joke in coalition. First Lüzerath and now siphoning funds from a climate fund to build parts for car production.

There are old climbers and free solo climbers. But there are no old free solo climbers.

I honestly wouldn’t be worried about it’s application for simulating human generated comments. This stuff is only going to start sounding notably less human as it begins to train itself using ever increasing amounts of AI generated content. AI is only as “intelligent” as the input it gets for training, and it’s getting stupider shit fed into it by bot created content every second.

There’s an abundance of contemporary evidence that shows this doesn’t work but it’s basically a foreign policy meme at this point. We tried this in Iraq and it just ended up killing a bunch of children and had no effect on Saddam’s hold on power.

The US blackmailed all of Europe before the UN assembly regarding the Iraq invasion and forced the Baltics to send troops in order to gain admittance. This isn’t something new within NATO. France wouldn’t even join NATO unless they agreed to defend attacks on French colonized Algeria. NATO despite whatever other functions it has is also a tool for currying geopolitical favors. Turkey is playing the game the same as everyone else. Not sure why this is surprising anyone.

Nineteen is dix-neuf though. Which is literally ten-nine. 11-16 all have an equivalent word to the English “teens.” Quatorze for example instead of dix-quatre for 14.

Saying this scenario is wildly unrealistic is not the same as saying we should bow down to Putin. It’s highly doubtful that Ukraine will even be able to restore all the territory they’ve lost since the start of the invasion, let alone get Crimea back. Sanctions haven’t been all that effective at this point either. Russia is still importing processors through middle men nations and has found perfectly willing buyers for national resources outside the West.

Expecting to subjugate the Russian economy to indentured servitude to pay reparations not only to Ukraine but to NATO? It’s just straight up not going to happen as much as we want to fantasize about it. I wouldn’t even be surprised if most of Europe begins importing Russian natural gas within a few years of the war ending again.

The Finnish government literally extradited Jewish people directly to the Gestapo who were promptly executed.

Trees are almost always planted too deeply and are males when dioecious species are used. It’s probably why seasonal allergies have gotten a lot worse in recent decades as most ornamentals are just shedding shitloads of pollen.

Russia sucks the big one. But this is straight up deluded.

Because no one actually believes Russia has ambitions outside of Ukraine. And if they actually do believe that and don’t want to send their own troops in, it’s absolutely shameful and cynical to be using Ukrainians as their human shields.

He literally said the opposite of that.

But if he can’t be trusted and he’s coming for the Baltics, then you should be enlisting and pressuring the Baltic states to deploy.

Instead you’re letting Ukraine do the dirty work or you don’t actually believe this.

The entire war has been an escalating game of nuclear chicken for NATO anyway. If Europe is under imminent Russian threat, then you can’t be deterred by the threat of nukes. Otherwise you should just let Russia march through to Paris.

Sending weapons so Ukraine so they can defend themselves is logical. Sending weapons so they can defend YOU is shameful.

I at least know how NATO fundamentally functions before popping off about it online.

Gentechnik tut nichts von dem, was du beschrieben hast. Dafür bräuchten wir mehr so traditionellen Methoden der Pflanzenzüchtung.

Gentechnik ist nicht so gefährlich wie viele glauben und wir brauchen sie. Aber es rettet uns überhaupt nicht.

They’re politically inept. Anything they can do they half ass or don’t so they don’t make people mad, and anything they want to do are half measures that get blocked anyway. They’re one foot in and one foot out to try to appeal to as many people as possible and end up pleasing no one as a result and are now hemorrhaging votes. If they would have taken as hardline of a stance on actual climate issues as they took on supporting Ukraine, they would have actually appealed to youth voters instead of repulsing them with their appeasement. Baerbock has even said they will support Ukraine even if it becomes unpopular, so why don’t they apply the same standards to other existential crises in the same way?

Their conciliation is damaging to their brand as well as the environment. They need to do better, and I don’t think I’m alone at all in feeling that way as evidenced by their abysmal polling.

That’s not how NATO works. So maybe you should try googling a little harder. Otherwise Germany and France would have been in Iraq. NATO is a defensive alliance. You can send troops to Ukraine. Literally nothing is stopping you if you believe it’s a matter of national security in the future.
