It heavily depends on how you interpret the description.
In Germany there are a restaurants that prepare a big batch of soup and desert and serve it automatically to every main dish (three courses).
If it includes bread and butter and a drink on top, then this might not be gourmet shit but it’s definitely not expensive at all.

Mataulipas! I guess you’re tired of that joke but I like Mexican dark humor and miss a good community here on Lemmy :( saludos!

I marked my rent payments to my roommate with “Cocaine and Hookers”, went on for years but his bank complained one day too.

Funny to imagine if the banks managers were actually using our money for exactly that, but marked as company expenses instead.

Survey finds that 60 firms own half of the worlds companies.

The (Rep.) speaker Mike Johnson went against the MAGAs and worked together with the Democrats to get it passed.
But I doubt they would have gotten enough votes if they didn’t bundle it with the aid for Israel and the TikTok ban.

It’s because the Republicans wouldn’t let a bill, that only supports Ukraine, pass. So this was a compromise.

Yes, don’t trust any of those you mentioned, but I disagree with Meta doing the US’ bidding.
Putin has absolutely no problem pushing his disinformation campaign through fb for example.

Zuckerberg and Musk only care about money, while TikTok is directly controlled by the Chinese government.

That being said, I wouldn’t mind Meta products and xitter being banned at all.

I think one of the Lemmy devs is German too

Someone who supports Palestine and is against the US is not automatically a Tankie. But if this person at the same time makes excuses for the Russian invasion or argues that Taiwan belongs to China, then they are.

Hypocrisy (lying / arguing in bad faith) is exactly what makes the difference between a leftist and a Tankie.

I think you’re mixing things up a bit. LineageOS, GrapheneOS etc. are not what people refer to as “mobile Linux”, mobile Linux would be Ubuntu touch, mobian etc.

Btw. do you know about Sailfish OS?

Let’s see what Erdogan comes up with. A nice false flag attack maybe?

I hope it all fails and he can soon hide together with Bolsonaro in Hungary.

No, but the point is your hypocrisy. I never said that lifting the sanctions is right.
But “Jesus fuck” would it never cross my mind to call the person who is ordering those atrocities in Gaza a scapegoat.

Edit: Looks like Biden didn’t lift anything.

I seem to remember sth like that was said at the beginning of the war.

Now France is talking about putting boots on the ground, multiple attacks on Crimean infrastructure already happened and Europe is getting more worried about the getting attacked as well if Putin gets his way.

I doubt anyone cares about it anymore and Putin can punch sand.

Ah, but shitting on Biden and the US at every opportunity is completely reasonable while talking bad about the guy who is actually pulling the trigger is fucking scapegoating!?

What line are you talking about? The Russian army is in ukrainian territory and needs to be kicked out, no one is talking about invading Russia.

“Hysteria”, that’s one way to belittle people.

Polestar is a subsidiary of Volvo Cars. Volvo Cars was bought by Geely in 2010, a private Holding Group owned by Li Shufu, a chinese billionaire.

Li Shufu is also the chairman of Volvo Cars.

Polestar was founded and headquartered in Sweden, so it is a swedish company but it is owned by Geely/Li Shufu.

You’re making some strong claims, while using an even stronger language:

• The “race to the button” has begun because of corrupt politicians and “Capitalists”, who sold out the Norwegian people for some “fat paychecks”.

• Germany “dismantled” their electric infrastructure, because of “boomers”, that are afraid of “hot metal in a pool”, generally everyone who is against nuclear is “just afraid of what they don’t understand”.

• Oil companies invest in wind energy, to keep people relying on oil in the future.

• The EU wants to fish Norway dry.

I already said my part about nuclear energy.

That wind energy is an oil company conspiracy to keep people hooked on oil and not a diversification of their portfolio, similar to what Saudi Arabia is doing, I’m not going into much either.

Norway, the EU and GB came to an agreement, that also benefits Norway, some quotes:

This traditional deal between the two parties has been particularly demanding this year, as the quotas traditionally fished by Norwegian vessels are now located in the British zone, outside the territory of the European Union.

Norwegian fishermen can now fish the opportunities Norway has acquired from Greenland, including shrimp, Greenland halibut, and redfish, and in the EU zone, such as roundnose grenadier.

“It is gratifying that we have reached an agreement with the EU and the UK. This means that we have agreed on quotas for important stocks that we manage together in the North Sea. This is crucial for sustainable management,” concluded Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Cecilie Myrseth.

Maybe if you dial your tone down a bit and add some sources to your claims, you could be taken more serious.

Germany didn’t “dismantle” their infrastructure, its mistake was to rely on cheap russian gas and shutting down their PV industry while they were ahead of China.

The unanticipated war increased the prices and while it would have been great to still have the nuclear plants, they were really old already anyways.

Nuclear energy is way too expensive, because it can only exist while being heavily subsidized. On top of that they are a big risk in combination with climate change. You mentioned France, but forgot the fact that they had to shut down their reactors due to drought in 2022 and had to import electricity for the first time in decades. Not really a technology that I would count on for the future, especially considering the long time it takes to build them.

As you can see, shit happens and the idea in Europe is to stick together. I’m glad to be part of this. You sound like you’re angry and want to vote for politicians that don’t “sell you out to Europe”, I can imagine which kind of party that might be, good luck with that.

The funding needs to stop and another main objective should be to get Netanyahu out of office and in a jail cell, otherwise he will just continue, even if sanctioned.
