  • The most charitable interpretation: “These strikes are the only thing preventing the development of Iranian nukes”

    You know, ignoring the facts that the only thing saying those are coming very soon is Israel, that there was a meeting planned that was actively sabotaged, and that if Merz is such a big fan of the non proliferation treaty that is so necessary for peace in the region, he should insist Israel go sign it first before worrying about its enforcement in Iran.



  • Germany can’t stop winning on the cost of Italy’s economy! /s

    Looks like they now gotta promote their heritage with more recent painters. Idk, Carcupino would probably resonate with those people idolising the 50s? But maybe they specifically chose Renaissance painters to not have to share any money with relatives.

    In any case, right decision. No matter how culturally relevant, if it’s been more than a century you gotta let people use it in any way they want, be it ever so disrespectful. Can’t wait for the Vetruvian man budget horror flick.







  • The reason there are fewer child births in the US since the 90s is mainly the reduction of pregnancies in the demographic “25 and younger”. They didn’t made a conscious choice, looking at their abacus and evaluating the state of the world. They slipped into it and were forced to make it work. Interestingly, they then still had children later in life as well, for more complex and personal reasons.

    It seems to me, that if you give woman the choice, they choose not be pregnant at the cost of their career.



  • Car companies are pathetically clinging to the past, who would have known? Unfortunately, that fits with our conservative “we wanna stay car centric” government that people somehow still voted for.

    The best way out for them is to delay any switch to EV’s. As far as I know, their current plan is to sell “hybrid” motors, which are said to burn both gasoline and hydrogen.

    Hydrogen is a fuel with a future - maybe in shipping with the fixed routes and general incompatibility with batteries - but in the context of cars it’s not economical (at scale) and they know that. So 99% of the time, those hybrid motors will drive on gasoline, because who would pay 10 times the amount for something only available at a select few stations.

    But if they sell those hybrid motors as a 0 emission alternative, they can keep selling something that’s basically a combustion engine as long as the gas station network still exists, while blaming the rising emissions on consumer preference and bleeding the government dry with hydrogen subsidies in the wrong sector.



  • If we mention the new version was edited to match speeds by that channel, then we should probably also mention the old version was, of course, originally in black and white and needed to be upscaled for this 1 to 1 comparison by the channel Denis Shiryaev. The original 1902 film was taken from the museum of modern art (moma watermark)'s channel.

    Still, amazing how we’re able to have a pretty good guess what a place looked like to people 100 years ago, before our hubris and malice led us to the most destructive wars ever seen.



  • What exactly is misleading?

    You can just say “Germany is doing X” to refer to actions of the government, you do that in German as well btw. If that weren’t the case, why do you call this action of the Netanyahu regime “Israels war”, when that guy only has a 30% approval rating?

    And in any case, the German people are still to blame for voting Merz’s CDU into office last year, supporting Israel was a thing he did say he and his party would do. Him now saying that these actions can no longer be justified is unexpected, but I won’t hold my breath for anything to come from this.
