Last year China installed more solar than the rest of the world combined, but they have less than 1/5th of the worldpopulation 🤷

There are lot’s of things you can criticize China about, their commitment to renewable energy isn’t one of them.

Of all ways to get rid of dictators you choose Lybia as a good example. I rest my case.

Current events show that guns are pretty useless against dictators, people do just happily vote them in power. The right to free education would have been a better weapon.

Sure they can

I’m not convinced that source isn’t just spreading the urban myth. You’re going to have to come with something with more weight behind it than the webpage of a seller of heatpumps. Here’s another source saying it has nothing to do with eating: https://www.la-tour.ch/fr/conseils/se-baigner-apres-manger-faut-il-vraiment-attendre-3-heures

And what does that have to do with swimming after eating?

It’s mathematically proven that no voting system is perfect, so you’ll have to choose what you value most in a voting system. There is no clear best system.

I think the arguments for approval voting are strong. It’s simple and easy to understand, no need for complex multiple rounds of counting. Since you can’t rank candidates it doesn’t suffer from the spoiler effect.

In your hypothetical scenario you’re forgetting the Trump voters who will vote for Sanders again after they see Biden nearly beating him. RCV has a bigger problem which is called the spoiler effect where, without strategical voting a loser can influence the election results. And am I missing something or should the numbers in your RCV list add up to 100%?

A big drying rack for things that don’t go in the dishwasher. Drying with a towel sucks and is unhygienic.

Maybe (probably) I’m just stupid and clumsy but cleaning as I go means cooking takes even more time and effort. I do it exactly the other way around, to minimize cleaning time I only clean my kitchen every few days when my counter gets too full. YMMV.

Both is best.

Enlighten me which part of the Netherlands doesn’t eat bland food ;)

No, exactly the same parts of Europe. Both the Dutch and the English were know for their spice trade and are known for their awful food. The rest of Europe has better food and terrorized and colonized for other reasons.

I did not expect to see someone making light of the horrors of the Holocaust

I’m surprised you didn’t expect to see that, you’re on the internet after all. But I did not make light of the Holocaust, you have misunderstood me.

They did try to make it humane, if alone to make it easier on the executioners. Causing pain and suffering did happen, but it wasn’t part of the plan. It was like trying to exterminate rats. You just want them dead, suffering is not necessary. In my option that makes the Holocaust more horrific, not less.

The Nazis actually did try to exterminate the Jews as humane as possible. They used gas showers so the victims didn’t know what was coming and didn’t have any any visual indications of harm on their body.

Whether it was out of some perverse sense of humanity, to make the executioners sleep better or simply to improve efficiency I’m not sure.

(To be clear, I don’t condone genocide whether you try to do it humane or not)

But would the current administration be the current administration without wealth hoarding psychopaths?

How is sticking a sticker on your car dragging other people into something?

You’re going to need a team of people, fly them in and out and make sure they get back home alive or it might hurt the president’s polls. It might be cheaper but it’s much riskier. Nobody in the US cares about those 52 other people so that doesn’t really matter to them.

I’m surprised they didn’t use drones.

It is mentioned in the text, but I don’t see anything redacted in the screenshots either.

Edit: It could be in the very first message, it’s not clear if there is text between the first and second screenshot.

A CIA spokesperson asked us to withhold the name of John Ratcliffe’s chief of staff, which Ratcliffe had shared in the Signal chain, because CIA intelligence officers are traditionally not publicly identified. Ratcliffe had testified earlier yesterday that the officer is not undercover and said it was “completely appropriate” to share their name in the Signal conversation. We will continue to withhold the name of the officer. Otherwise, the messages are unredacted.

Imagine if those people looked up to us, we’d have to really question our values.

Now you’re just trolling, I’ve already given you evidence about how the Chinese suppression apparatus works. People are being abducted for just being Muslim.

If they are not suppressing free speech, you show me some Chinese pro-palestine protests. Or go to China and see how long you last.
