Äußerst zweischneidige Angelegenheit. In unserem aktuellen System hast du halt irgendwie die Wahl zwischen einem staatlichen Bildungssystem, abhängig von politischen Entscheidungen und einem privatwirtschaftlich organisiertem, abhängig von direkten Profitinteressen.

Bei der Auswahl ist es mir dann doch lieber, wenn die Kapitalinteressen zumindest noch den Umweg über die Politik gehen müssen, anstatt direkt am Steuer zu sitzen.

I agree with everything you’re saying.

I think it should have been clear from my text, that imho the issue lies in food production rather than food consumption and that what kinds of food you’re eating and how it was produced is the part of this issue, that you have some control over. I mean, consumers can’t buy what “the market^TM” don’t offer and yadda yadda yadda, but at least you can do more about it than about the fact, that you need to breathe at all. (Apart from drastic measures, that I neither expect nor recommend)

Have you tried adding herbs and spices? Like stuff that actually tastes good. You didn’t even mention salt.

Imho, food that tastes good is more satisfying and keeps you fuller for longer. The downside is, that I tend to overeat, when it’s too good.

Any downsides to eating less meat?

I haven’t been eating meat for almost 20 years now. So my answer is No.

The real question I have here is: why isn’t there a cryptocurrency miner that secretly seeds torrents?!

Billigste Eigenmarke von der Drogerie (Kräutergeschmack für mich) regelt.

Ich bin älter als mir lieb ist, aber der Zahnarzt musste noch nie bohren oder sowas und professionelle Zahnreinigung hab ich erst einmal im Leben gebraucht. Dabei habe ich eine etwas komplexere Situation mit meinen Zähnen.

Die Menge an Zahnstein die üblicherweise so entfernt werden musste, hat mehr mit der Wasserhärte und meiner Putzdisziplin zu tun, als mit der Zahnpasta, und der eigentliche Gamechanger hier war der Wechsel von manuell zur Schallzahnbürste. (Wobei ich durch die auch meine Putztechnik nochmal verbessert habe und manuell seitdem auch nochmal besser funktioniert)

Bei Zahnpasta ist für mich die Hauptsache, dass kein Natrium-Laurylsulfat drin ist, das war der Grund für gelegentliche schmerzhafte Aphten und wieso ich letztlich weg bin von Ajona Konzentrat.

Die Bevölkerung kann ja ihre Bildung aufrecht erhalten

Wie kann sie das denn langfristig, wenn das Bildungsystem von politischen Entscheidungen abhängig ist, die wiederum durch die Interessen des sich immer weiter akkumulierenden Kapitals beeinflusst wird und diese darauf gerichtet sind Bildung rein als Reproduktion kapitalistisch ausbeutbarer Arbeitermassen (und seien sie formell hochgebildet) zu verstehen?

In der Theorie, klar, aber ich fürchte die Realität zeigt doch, dass das mit den Wahlentscheidungen überwiegend nicht so clever ausfällt.

Wie kommst du zu der Annahme? Ich denke da wäre durchaus fruchtbarer Boden für solche Ideen gewesen.

Vielleicht nicht für exakt die Art LLM-slop wie wir ihn heute erleben, aber gemessen an den politischen Entscheidungen die im real-existierenden Sozialismus so teilweise getroffen wurden halte ich es für sehr naheliegend, dass da durchaus großes Interesse bestanden hätte. Und ebenfalls großes Potenzial für eine katastrophale Umsetzung.

I took you for a fan, that’s why I was asking. I meant ‘sell’ figuratively ofc.

I wasn’t wrong, since you took the bait.

And I think my local library has Guardians of the Galaxy lying around on DVD. So I might actually give those a shot some time soon. Or at least the first one, and see how it goes. And maybe that Spider-Man incarnation. At least he’s a character I’m kinda familiar with. I remember playing him in Marvel vs Street Fighter a lot.

But those are only half truths. They’re omitting the fact, that a lot of the biomass we’re eating comes from farming. Those plants that collect carbon dioxide from the atmosphere use a lot of synthetic fertilizers to grow, which itself uses A LOT of fossil energy to be produced. A lot of that plant biomass is fed to livestock to produce different kinds of foods that the market^TM demands, while emitting methane and ammonia and nitrous oxides, some of which are far worse greenhouse gasse, than CO2.

And then there’s the whole issue of food waste and bullshit products you can buy at the supermarket that might contribute a little bit to your ability to exhale CO2 but come with insane amounts of useless packaging (made from petrol, and the best case scenario for them is, that they’re going to be burned in a waste incinerator later).

People breathing is breaking the natural carbon cycle in lots of places, and part of the problem is, that they are being fed by capitalism.

If you want, you can try to sell it to me.

I was a teen when the very first Spiderman movie came out, and I found it quite entertaining at the time. (Kirsten Dunst might have had something to do with it)

I was also ok with the X-Men and saw Iron Man, which still was okayish but started to feel a bit silly to me.

I’ve kinda lost interest in those kinds of superhero movies. Sure I kinda liked Watchmen, if only for the great soundtrack, and ofc I’ve seen the praised Batman Trilogy (Begins, Dark Knight, Returns), I also kinda enjoyed Kickass for being partly a parody of its own genre. But after that era, I’ve never really felt the urge to watch any of these movies.

What am I missing out on? Which movies do you consider a must see (or at least great entertainment) even for someon who doesn’t know a whole lot about the MCU beforehand and has never read a comic book like that?

And I’ve called my friends and random people a cunt so many insane amounts of times that even the greatest computer on earth couldn’t calculate it.

So about 42 times?

De-growth rather.

Isn’t that what tolerance is about? The live and let live thing? So you kinda have to be okay with other people doing what they like.

Doesn’t mean you have to do the same though.

Not gonna defend religion or anything, but this

Even though colleague A said people are free to do whatever they please, following it up with “homosexuality is a sin” arguably exposes his feigned tolerance. […]

is a non-sequitur argument. Or at least it has an unspoken premise, of what it means for something to be a sin.

People are usually free to commit sins, and other religious people tolerate their sinning. As long as they’re the socially accepted kind of sins in that religious community, like drinking alcohol, hitting your children, coveting your neighbours wife, you name it. Hypocrisy is an integral element of any religious community I know.

But the hypocrisy here is not, that homesexuality is called a sin. It is, that it is usually regarded as a graver sin than all the others that are happily tolerated.

Never heard it being called that, but this is brilliant.

I bet there’s a rule-abusing multi-class build of cleric-wizard or something that would allow you to bless the entire Atlantic Ocean at some point.

I’m not sure though, I don’t play 2nd Edition Abrahamic Religions. I was just referencing a cute little priest joke .

But given, that the pope apparently needs people to watch him on Sat-TV to spread his ‘Urbi et Orbi’ across the globe, there seem to be some technological restrictions.

You need to snap out of your misanthropy.

It leads to solitude and darkness.

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying me-time and getting away from civilization for a bit, and ofc people can be annoying, especially when they’re just strangers. But not everyone is, and we all need our tribe of people to enjoy some company for some time.

Meet some people and try to see some positives about those encounters. You might learn a thing or two if you open your heart for others.

And here I was hoping that we could boil the HELL out of water.

No large scale holy water production in sight still?
