This world is cruel…
    • I've read books.
    • In multiple languages.
    • And I can read musical notes.
    • I'm a capable home cook.
    • I've built stuff. Assembling IKEA furniture counts, right?
    • My mum still keeps most of my paintings.
    • If you can read this, you know that I can write.
    • I can cut down vegetation.
    • I can even dive.
    • Yes, I open the camera app daily.
    • There's an app for that as well.
    • I'm wearing my backpack already.
    • Five of the seven continents (as many of us understand them culturally), so far.

    Which is why I have an orgy every night.

  • What happens when the US runs out of SSNs?
  • I don't know how you could possibly fit 999,999,999 people into an SSN, or even the entire current fleet of US SSNs. And I don't know how reusing numbers will help, given the time to build a new SSN. But it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the USN and the US. Hopefully, some of us outside the US, will be alive to make memes about it.

  • ‘Time is now’ to step up efforts for Ukraine peace, says Germany’s Scholz
  • Step up military aid to Ukraine significantly. That is the only way to peace. Giving in to russian demands would only lead to a short cease fire, before they launch their next attack.

    That so many Germans have bought into russian propaganda is a major hurdle.

  • Russia is signaling it could take out the West's internet and GPS. There's no good backup plan.
  • Which they do. Not on a global scale, though.

    It is quite annoying to be Russia's neighbours. But you can work around it. In fact, it's not bad to train yourself to operate without GNSS. And it would be even better if the jammers decided to spontaneously combust.

  • I bet the one on the left doesn't even have a fake Swedish name.
  • I've never been to a Starbucks. But from the content I see about them online, they do seem like a typical American fakery outlet.

    Venti, that's twenty in Italian, is a cup of twenty American stupidity units of coffee. And their new CEO has a commute in excess of 1600km!

    Even if I enjoyed coffee, I would find somewhere else to spend my money.

  • I bet the one on the left doesn't even have a fake Swedish name.
  • I've actually never found a name of an IKEA product to be fake. They can be obscure, odd, and some would normally be split. But never truly fake. Though, FEJKA does mean "to fake". Which is an honest name for a series of fake plants.

  • About 500,000 trees cut down at site of Tesla gigafactory near Berlin
  • • Whatever cars we produce, should be battery-electric.

    • Eastern Germany is in need of employment opportunities.

    • It's a plantation, and Tesla is required to plant trees elsewhere.

    • Elon Musk is a terrible human being. But at least in Germany, there is a functional government to oversee this factory.

    Which is to say, I have no objections to Tesla building a factory here.

    Addendum: Yes, public transportation is better, if you have it. Living in your workplace is even better. For some of us, driving a BEV is a pragmatic compromise. Hydrogen is wasteful and stupid. Fossil fuels, including most hydrogen, is fucking stupid. AfD (aka. "We're definitely not Nazis") thrive where unemployed is high. Those trees are now houses, furniture, and toilet paper. By functional, I don't mean efficient, corruption-free, or anything like that in absolute terms. But compared to Texas, CCP-China, or most other places in the world, it is somewhat functional for the purpose of overseeing industry. Well, apart from those giant holes in the ground where there's coal, and all those emissions scandals. And the German environmental movement is, in large parts, a bunch of unwitting russian sock-puppets. Ripened for the enshittification of the internet by decades of soviet/russian propaganda.
