Northern Europe. Or East Europe depending on who you ask. Baltics.

EDIT: Just to elaborate with some exceptions: I ride an illegal Ebike, but police knows this and has pretty much made a verbal exception because I’m always respectful of others, don’t break laws, don’t speed, I’ve been riding it for a decade with multiple random stops and checks and explanations, etc. - always everything being good except for the voltage of my ebike, but I do live in a rural region where after I leave small city of 10k, I have to drive 7km to my home and I can’t drive a car due to medical condition. They have always been understanding.

Another one is that each time I’ve had to call them, they genuinely showed real interest and all problems were promptly solved - flooding from neighbouring farm after they messed with dams, some jackasses using shitty rural roads as dragstrip (probably saved their lives), laptop theft

I thought I was cool

Right, and how commonly they’re put in the same cell? Last I checked, they commonly get special treatment

EDIT: Nevermind, I completely missed the joke because I live in a country that respects police since they actually serve the public

With a cop in the same cell? Probably not very common, but seeing that this is show with cameras around, I don’t expect anything genuine

That’s weird. In 2025 alone they commissioned more than 50 new coal plants (78GW). At the end of 2025, nearly 300GW coal power capacity was under construction. If you look at any statistic, it’s pretty much shooting up.

EDIT: I guess this comparison explains the 50% more reasonably: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/18/China-energy-consumption-by-source.svg

Right, but why are you ready to live green when 8 out of 10 people would take the cheaper oil that you didn’t buy? Just keep doing whatever you like, we don’t matter on the grand scheme of things.

You’re confused.

The money comes from you. I welcome you to no longer use a car and walk to the job. Poof, suddenly their profit falls. Multiply that by a society, and suddenly much of these firms can no longer exist.

The question has always been about how much humans are willing to sacrifice to save the earth, and the answer has pretty much always been “best I can do is blame a placeholder (some CEO/company, doesn’t matter which one, because it’s just demand from society and there will always be new companies as long as there is demand from you and me) and assume it’s 100% their fault”

Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t really an individual problem, it’s how society/humans work. We’d vote for someone who speaks against oil, but hang them as soon as the oil price goes above 5$

Whenever I see posts like this, I really don’t understand if people really think they produce oil/gas/fuel/food packaging, etc. for themselves.

If someone offers a money for a product, there will be someone else willing to sell it to you. You are the consumer.

Think of it like this - a electricity company generates electricity, as much as it’s needed for current demand. I’m the final consumer, the demander, the reason infrastructure exists. And I shall be happy burning my RTX 5080 while looking into ACs to cool the room from that PC at the same time, hitting 2kW usage just so I can do nothing and game, because who cares. I tried living green, but when you see MFs producing more footprint in their shitty trucks in a day than you do in a month using Ebike, and people still decide to blame some placeholder instead of our own society and way of living, then it’s quite clear nothing will change and it’s a lost cause.

Points at a giant fireball above our heads

I genuinely don’t understand their play, especially google with nearly 100b in stocks. It was known that SpaceX opening stock price was overvalued, so statistically there is a far better chance of it going down than up once the trading starts. It’s been steadily going down ever since launch as expected. If they think SpaceX will accomplish some breakthru in the long term, then why buy at start instead of when it pretty much stabilizes

I know I don’t have any insider info, I’m not trading guru and I’m probably missing something here, but it’s just weird to me

The easiest way to explain this if you have no clue how fediverse works is - imagine there is a third party reddit, discord, X or some other platform’s client that lets you browse their website/content. The developer of that client made a list of users whose comments/posts are hidden in said client. In reality, the client does not have significant user base and this affects almost nothing. Some users might not see your comments, but that’s really their problem more than mine/ours at this point.

Step 1: Go to a richer country for work

Step 2: Sell everything you don’t need, take a loan

Step 3: Use the money to buy out rentable private property (preferablly from government to get rid of cheap housing, aka. anti-socialism)

Step 4: Push for highest possible rent someone is ready to pay

Step 5: Repeat till satisfied

Step 6: Lay back and watch the news in peace about how there’s property crisis, rent is skyrocketing and how 1/3 of the workforce isn’t doing anything. Then talk about how much capitalism sucks.

I know many people who do this. Seems to work.

Sounds like a conspiration

Greece has enemies? I’m aware of history with Turkey, but… that’s history

It actually slipped my mind how painful the chaos machine was. My subconsciousness decided to hide it to heal the PTSD

His reason for banning people is transphobia, hate, bigotry, etc. but since I live next to Russia, I’m used to reading “titles” in the opposite direction (says X, means Y), but I have genuinely no clue what’s going on here

Isn’t that a good thing? Your comments essentially become hidden to bigots and downvote army.

That’s a nice observation and definitely goes to show your critical thinking skills. Let’s delve into this;

Do you feel like everyone around you is speaking in ChatGPT?

EDIT: Just in case so people don’t think I’m mocking OP - I was mimicking ChatGPT/making fun of it

You joke, but I have a 1TB doomsday gaming ssd stick (HP 911) filled with all sorts of games
