Luzifer's right hand

I kinda miss the days when very few people watched OV showings of SF and Fantasy movies here. But back in the day there was maybe one per week and now there are 5 per day across 3 cinemas for dune so I'm not complaining.

I freaking loved it. Going for a 2nd round tomorrow.

German kids are exposed to such soft stories nowadays? No more mutilations, child abuse and children dying?

It's is a pretty loud viewpoint among people invested in the topic on the pro-Palestinian side in my experience. I mean you just have the look up social media posts shortly after the attacks last year. People even blame the foreign workers and students killed, injured and abduced for supporting Israel.

Did I claim otherwise when it comes to ethnicity? Personally I believe that any person who promotes faith helps the fanatics though. There is far less fertile soil for religion based intolerance if people are not religious at all.

Oh they hate. I have seen it myself with a co-worker that admitted a test showed 1/8 Jewish ancestry. Like flipping a switch and some people started to dislike him.

Not a problem anymore nowadays thanks to DNA tests.

Even the Nazis themselves did not give a shit about the religion. My family had to prove with ancestry research to keep their farm. That was law in the 3rd Reich. Rural catholic farmers from Austria. Nowadays DNA days would be used I guess. Edit: owning a farm had the same purity requirements as membership in the SS btw.

Name an ethnic group that is as hated. The Japanese maybe although I doubt even the people who hate them in countries of Asia that have not forgotten the crimes of WW2 outnumber the people who hate the Jews in Europe, America and the Muslim world.

Jews.

Because the most hated ethnic group of the planet is on one side and Russia and its allies are using all their online manipulation powers to get Trump elected again. Otherwisw it would be a regional conflict of little interest.

Ignoring reproductive healthcare that is on the tracks too among other things. People are already dying because of that in red states.

Self immolation as a protest has a long tradition. It's not even the first one in the USA that is connected to the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Climate activists have done it too in the past. Next to nobody gives a shit usually. People are not ignoring completely this time because it was streamed.

But that is because of the CEO and investor caste having realized that acting utterly greedy has no repercussions. That has nothing to do with how pharma research and production works. It's just late stage capitalism.

Chemical industry in general. The current world population is probably not sustainable even if we got rid of animal agriculture apart from the small amount that is 100% grazing based. With turning most plants we grow into meat like we do now it is completely inconceivable.

How do you think active ingredients for clinical trials are produced? That requires at least pilot plant production level scale. Drugs often fail if you can't upscale production to that level in a cost effective way even if they might work otherwise. Which you won't know because you never get the amounts needed for proper tests in that case. A lot of drugs fail in the clinical trial phase after pilot plants produced active ingredients for millions or even tens of millions of $.

So I finished my Shadowheart playthrough. I was the goodest emo princess ever. Tried to romance Karlach but could not resist the charms of Lae'zel in the end. It's true love when she crits you and stuns you with her first hit but you think you might win. Only for her to pop action surge. Taking a bit of a break. At least until one or two hotfixes. Next playthrough I plan to add the non-origin companions as early possible to my party. Playing as a resist Durge probably as I have not done that yet.

There was a handcuffed suspect in the car. You know how afraid cops in the USA tend to be of unarmed and restrained people.

I did not watch the video. But I usually only read about lignite vs. natural gas because I mainly read German language sources and in that case I have not read anything that suggests natural gas is not better than coal. Even fraking is better than surface mined lignite measured across the whole chain according to the stuff I have read. But I'm not saying the video posted is wrong.

There is not doubt that it is superior because buring it releases far less particulates and other pollutants. Also less CO2. But any solution that still releases CO2 is insufficient. Any regional improvements are more than offset by the growing global population and outsourcing of emmisons to other countries. Global CO2 emissions are still increasing and only global economic crisises have caused years with less emissions then the previous years with COVID measures having the most positive effect.

I was sceptical about the dice rolls before I played the game. But somehow to feel like a great addition to the game especially without all the spells and items you can boost stuff with. They add excitement I feel. Maybe only relevant if you play low reload or honour mode(was not a thing from the start). I do speed them up most of the time but I would not want to skip them completely.

Well there is the risk of a woman of color becoming president if Biden becomes incompetent or dies. That is way too risky for many "centrist" voters I suspect.

The time window for Germany being relevant is closing anyway. A CDU/CSU/AFD coalition won't do anything against Russia and elections are 2025.

The idea that Russia needs to stop advancing if Ukraine surrenders seems odd to me to be honest. Why stop a war machine that is running? I mean they could probably pass right through fake NATO member Hungary. Annihilate the Austrian military in a day or two when we run out of ammunition and cross into Germany at that point if they really wanted. Although by this point a far right/right government in Austria is likely and we will just bow to Russia without any shots fired. I know Moldova is a more realistic next target obviously and there seems to be no reason not to take it after Ukraine to be honest.

In think France is focusing on its nuclear weapons again and Macron at least hinted that they would be used to protect all of the EU. At last according to some German language articles I read. Seems sensible. Strong nuclear strike capability is the only thing that will keep the EU safe if the christian fascists take over the USA completely and the country becomes more isolationist.
