Gloomy

Good point. If the wizard did this you also would never know that such a song existed. Hence your “worst song in the world” spot would be filled with a different song the instant the spell hits.

It shows how such categories as “the worst” and “the best” are only constructions of our mind.

The problem is regulations that are different in the UK compared to those in the EU. It makes it complicated to import food.

Possible, but it isn’t and it hasn’t been since the 1970is. Given that reality I think it has been going into a sensible direction, because coal has been steadily falling since early 2000. The push for renewables has been a very direct result of the anti-nuclear movement, without it there might not have been any wish to transition towards them.

Predictions that the nuclear exit would leave Germany forced to use more coal and facing rising prices and supply problems, meanwhile, have not transpired. In March 2023—the month before the phaseout—the distribution of German electricity generation was 53 percent renewable, 25 percent coal, 17 percent gas, and 5 percent nuclear. In March 2024, it was 60 percent renewable, 24 percent coal, and 16 percent gas.

Overall, the past year has seen record renewable power production nationwide, a 60-year low in coal use, sizeable emissions cuts, and decreasing energy prices.

This is my biggest take away from this article.

And why do you know they are not?

Porn addiction is also not a thing. Outside of religious and moral crusaders, you won’t hear the phrase. Psychologists that specialize in human sexuality do not refer to porn addiction. When you look at the background of the people talking about porn “addiction” in the US, it always goes back to religion and morality, not clinical research.

I was interested if this holds up and unfortunately it is a thing in the medical world, albeit not a big one. I found this study, which gives a good overview over the topic.

I’ll quote the whole Introduction, because I find it quite interesting and it gives a good overview.

Can someone explain all this “everyone is good but straight white men in America” bullshit to me?

I think it’s a rather natural reaction to strait white males beeing in power for all of the modern time and therefor beeing the ones that were made to set the rules and, even more importantly, decide what the discourse looks like. Hence the view on women, minorities, non “White” countries, etc is heavily formed by their views.

In general, making people feel like shit for who they are has no positive function in any public space, and I’d prefer it if we simply left those behaviors in the past entirely.

I agree with you in general, but after understanding the idea behind it I think, in the context of said art project, it is a useful tool to get some people to think about discrimination.

As this thread shows, it also enraged people and makes them scream “feminist are sexist and want males to suffer”, but hey, you can’t reach everybody.

Well, if this is what you took out of what I wrote then I am sorry, but you came here with that opinion and are trying realy hard to have it justified by realy just anything.

Because, if you’d take the time to understand what I wrote, there’d be no rational conclusion leading to your point. None.

Why? Woman habe been restriced from artwork (and jobs, voting rights,…) for generations.

If the point is to give male persons the possibility to feal this exclusion, then it makes sense to exclude something from them that they actually would like to see.

So you feel like you are beeing treated sexist because of your gender.

Wonderful. Now take that feeling. Feel the rage it brings with it, the exclusion, the pure UNFAIRNESS of it.

And now think how often women experience this. Not on the context of “you may not enter” any more, but in hunders of other ways. You can’t be good at math, you’re a woman. Why wouldn’t you want to stay with the kid for a year or so, you’re a woman?!

This is, so I belive, why the artist says the feeling of exclusion is the experience for male visitors she is intending. It gives you the possibility to think about how it feels beeing female in a world that is still very much male dominated (tough in a slightly more subtle way than in 1965).

Thank you.

So you feel bad if republicans ignore science in regards to, let’s say, Covid, but if the science doesn’t fit your world view you feel okay to ignore it yourself?

A tad hypocratic hypocritical, no?

Ukraine will lose because Russia has managed to turn up their war time economy to 1000 while the West has given away most of the stockpiles it was willing to commit and has failed to put their money where their mouhts are and actually start a real war economy.

We are giving Ukraine just enoth to not lose at this point. And with Israel taking away the spotlight and adding another nation that is in need of war supplies, Ukraine will run dry eventually.

All the big words of the west on the end will habe been but a lie. And the rest of the world will see this and see it very well, when it comes to who they pick as their allies.

Hamas supporters in this thread:

There was a rumor/report that a whole bunch of Israelis were killed by idf helicopters and the idf announced that they weren’t going to investigate and that everyone should focus on killing hamas. That happened.

Also Hamas supporters in this thread:

There is no evidence for rape, just rumors, rape accusations are totals wrong, we want prove first.
