I’m not sure if I have a favorite game but if I had to choose one I’ll probably have to say Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup given the amount of time I have spent with that game.

If you actually took the time to watch those videos

I’ve better things to do than to watch some dude on YouTube that lives of sensationalist video titles

And: The problem of nuclear waste disposal seems not to be solved. There is active R&D ongoing.

Source (not some Dude on YouTube):

Although many countries with nuclear power plants have programmes to develop spent fuel or HLW disposal, these programmes are at very different levels of maturity, especially as concerns the siting process and the selection of a site. Three countries, Finland, France and Sweden, have selected a site and are progressing towards licensing and construction. Other countries have time schedules to begin operation of repositories in the 2050s and 2060s and have started an active siting process. The general trend is to site such a facility in a willing and informed volunteer host community

You are not really linking a video from a YouTube channel that features videos like “Can Nuclear Fallout Create Ghouls?”, “One-Punch Man Breaks Physics AGAIN”, “The government let me kiss nuclear waste.” and “How to Defeat Roko’s Basilisk”?

Germany is the second largest contributor of military aid to Ukraine. There are other “wamongering tribes” that seem to send much less.

As long as it is not dryied yet

The law doesn’t make a distinction between dried or not dried. This is only used for measurement. It only distinguishes between alive and dead.

Just cook it out for example.

It’s still a dead cannabis plant.

This law makes no sense in this regard. Allowing three plants just so you have to destroy two an a half of them.

And at one point in time you will be in possession of an illegal amount of cannabis. Even if it is for a short period of time. Sure, you probably won’t be caught but it still seems to be illegal according to CanG

You are allowed to posses 3 plants + 50g consume ready product.

Sure. As long as the 3 plants are alive:

§ 3, Abs 2 CanG reads:

Personen, die das 18. Lebensjahr vollendet haben, ist abweichend von Absatz 1 im Geltungsbereich dieses Gesetzes an ihrem Wohnsitz oder an ihrem gewöhnlichen Aufenthalt der Besitz von Cannabis wie folgt erlaubt:

(1) von bis zu 50 Gramm Cannabis, bei Blüten, blütennahen Blättern oder sonstigem Pflanzenmaterial der Cannabispflanze bezogen auf das Gewicht nach dem Trocknen, und

(2) von bis zu drei lebenden Cannabispflanzen

https://dserver.bundestag.de/btd/20/104/2010426.pdf

Translated by Google:

By way of derogation from paragraph 1, persons who have reached the age of 18 shall be permitted to possess cannabis at their domicile or habitual residence within the scope of this Act as follows:

(1) up to 50 grams of cannabis, in the case of flowers, near-flower leaves or other plant material of the cannabis plant in relation to the weight after drying, and

(2) of up to three live cannabis plants

That is 3 plants that are alive(!). If I’m harvesting or the plant dies of other causes, the plant is no longer alive and I’m suddenly in the possession of much more than the 50 grams allowed by law (and the whole plant counts, not just the buds).

I had a very quick look at the law. It’s a first step. Better than nothing and long overdue. I’m thankful but the law itself seems to be in part contradictory.

I.e.: I’m allowed to grow three cannabis plants. Sounds good? I’m additionally not allowed to own more than 50 grams of cannabis plant material (buds, leafs and stem). How should i even grow a single cannabis plant without making myself culpable?

I guess we’ll have to wait and see how these contradictions are handled by the courts.

I haven’t used Manjaro myself but I heard that it is not as good as Arch. Rumors I heard where that it is not as solid as vanilla Arch. YMMV.

Which one(s)

Arch.

why?

1. The Arch-Wiki
2. I like pacman
3. The Arch-Wiki
4. I wanted a rolling-release distribution.
5. The Arch-Wiki
6. It just works. I had only one more serious problem in ~8 years of running Arch
7. Did I mention the Arch-Wiki?

Edit:

Having said that, I have an eye on immutable distros. Maybe one day I’ll try one out.

for example that Telegram was able to defeat the Russian government by simply changing the IP address

Nowhere in the article is “defeat” mentioned. The article reads:

But all the while, Telegram’s lawyers tried to fight the original give-up-your-keys order in the courts. It had no luck in Russia itself, which is how the case ended up at the European Court of Human Rights.

Edit:

This is my last comment. You succeeded in derailing the thread. Congratulations.

Do you want me to give you links to Russian laws that

This article is not about the Russian law. It is about a judgement by the ECHR (33696/19). You are telling us, that the article is “fake-news” and I asked you to proof your claim. I did my part and delivered the judgement itself. Now it’s your time to proof, that this judgement never happened.

Edit:

BTW. this article and the judgement is not about Telegram vs. Russian Federation. It is about Anton Valeryevich Podchasov vs. the Russian Federation with Mr. Podchasov being a Telegram user. That is my current understanding.

This is not true,

If this isn’t true, than why is there a judgment from the ECHR on this case? Do you have any proof for your claim?

an increasing number of people aren’t voting at all

That seems wrong. At least in Thuringia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt (the states mentioned in the paper) voter turnout has been quite stable the last 20 years.

A quick search leads to:

The scapegoat thing is a big part of it, but the other problem is that there is no credible “working class” left party left in the German political spectrum.

At least in East-Germany people simply may not want a left party. They are voting far-right because they are far-right / neo-Nazi themselves.

Auto-translated:

The study also found a high level of approval for right-wing extremist statements in the eastern German states. Chauvinistic and xenophobic statements were rejected by only a minority of respondents, the project leaders emphasized. Elements of neo-NS ideology were not expressed openly to the same extent, but anti-Semitic and Social Darwinist statements also met with approval - a third of the population agreed with them completely or in part. The approval is pronounced in the German states of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, he said. "Here, the potential for extreme right-wing and neo-Nazi parties to find voters is thus particularly high. One in two wants a ‘strong party’ that embodies the ‘Volksgemeinschaft’ as a whole. Instead of pluralistic diversity of interests, a völkisch community is desired," Brähler explained. Decker added: “Our study shows that currently many people in the eastern German states do not want more democratic participation and the safeguarding of basic democratic rights, but rather the apparent security of authoritarian statehood.”

According to the survey, satisfaction with democracy as it functions in everyday life is weak. Not even half of the population feels that they are part of it. This corresponds with the high level of political deprivation: Two-thirds consider it pointless to be politically active, and hardly anyone believes they have any influence on the government. This is matched by the fact that, next to authoritarian aggression, the conspiracy mentality is the most widespread element of the authoritarian syndrome. “So we observe a pronounced foreignness with democracy, it is not understood by many as something of its own,” adds Dr. Johannes Kiess, deputy director of EFBI, who was involved in the study. These values have remained constant for about 20 years.

The longing for the GDR is pronounced, two-thirds share it. Three quarters felt themselves to be East Germans. However, many also felt German and a citizen of the Federal Republic, so several identities can exist in parallel. Only half count themselves among the winners of German unity, while a third count themselves among the losers. This retrospective view of the GDR is related not least to the desire for a one-party dictatorship, as illustrated by the high level of agreement with the demand for “a single strong party that embodies the national community.” These results show that extreme right-wing parties with their ideological offerings have numerous points of contact with the breadth of the population. Consequently, most AfD supporters have extreme right-wing attitudes.

Lol, top economic advisor.

You might not agree with her but she is - without any doubt - one of the top economic advisors.

Monika Schnitzer (born September 9, 1961 in Mannheim) is a German economist and chair of comparative economic research at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. She was the president of the Verein für Socialpolitik from 2015 to 2016 and is the chairwoman of the German Council of Economic Experts since 2022.

Schnitzer graduated with a diploma in economics from the University of Cologne in 1986. She went on to further study at the University of Bonn and received her doctorate (Ph.D.) in 1991. She was granted a habilitation at the same university in 1995.

The Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich appointed Schnitzer to her current position in 1996.

In addition to her academic work, Schmitzer advised the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy and the European Commission from 2011 to 2020. From 2011 to 2019, she served as deputy chair of the Commission of Experts for Research and Innovation (EFI). She is a fellow of the European Economic Association.

I stopped voting last 2 election

I understand your concerns but whoever does not vote, votes for the winner of the election. By not voting you implicitly say that you’re fine with the winning candidate.
