Haha that was my second thought (my first one was shock that something like that can happen - it means dangerous times are coming for democracy)

Barely not hitting from that distance would be wayyy too risky for a false flag attack.

What happened?

Why would not needing a car key mean you can’t use other keys anymore? Just get a key and put it in your wallet.

That first wish is coming true with EV <3

I wish I could buy an electric motorcycle already, but they’re soo overpriced. Anyway, I expect them to become available at affordable prices within 10 years.

Good that they didn’t change their mind. If they had, you’d have been in trouble because your sources said otherwise.

From what I know about the USA’s system it is binary - while you technically have more than two candidates it’ll be one of the major two (republican or democrat) who’ll win. So not voting or voting for a third party (which has no chance of getting elected(?)) means you don’t change anything, and if Trump wins without those blocks then that means you’re indirectly supporting him, simply by not opposing him with the only realistic option you have.

Please correct me if I’m wrong

WW2 was bound to happen anyway. It wasn’t about a party, it was about everyone in Germany and Austria being extremely unhappy with the dictated treaties of Versailles and Saint-Germain. It only was a matter of time.

PS: Attacking France didn’t make much sense militarily (better to focus on other countries), but beating the French (who played a major role in the treaties of Versailles and Saint-Germain) was something that greatly motivated everyone to keep going.

Global warming won’t cause humanity to die, it’ll just probably cause quite a few humans to die.

WW2 was already bound to happen after the treaties of Versailles and Saint-Germain. Hitler also didn’t found the NSDAP or invent antisemitism. We of course don’t know what would have happened without him, but the near future after WW1 wouldn’t have been bright either.

So who are people under 30 supporting? Trump? Not voting or some third candidate also is a vote for Trump.

So… never

I’m living in an area where AC is completely unnecessary. About +15°C in warm summer nights (that’s when I open my windows to let fresh air in), +30°C peak but all houses here are well-insulated (they have to be because of winter).

Of course it’s different in the USA, you have higher temperatures and don’t insulate your houses (a well-insulated house keeps its temperature: it stays warm in winter and cool in summer).

Well that’s about the system in the USA or some third world countries. Locking higher education behind a paywall only helps to keep the population uneducated, combine that with no focus on critical thinking in school and you get a population that’s easy to control and to polarise.

Of course politicians like Trump (or pseudo-democracies or straight up autocratic regimes in third world countries) really benefit from an easily-convinced population that’s not questioning them too much, so, given how strong the republicans currently are, that sadly probably won’t change anytime soon.

At some point they’ll realise that they need free or at least very affordable education to stay internationally competitive…

While you’d generally believe that to be true it can be hard for people with no knowledge who aren’t the brightest to see through statements like “doctors just are part of the wealthy smart people society who aim to keep us down”.

Never underestimate human stupidity.

But learning to critically question statements and judging them yourself (which requires some knowledge, for example you can’t question anti-vaxxers when you don’t know anything about how vaccines work) instead of simply believing them is extremely important in a democracy.

Interesting, thanks.

Good point. They’re the same, the difference lies in how you continue after cooking it.

The only thing that used to be better was more physical buttons. And it looks like the EU will be pushing for that to return (requiring more physical buttons for the highest security rating).
