Orange is a huuge disappointment.

the collector and the seller know

So you have never bought or inherited an old collection - large boxes rather than single books? “Going to sort them later…” :)

I would assume that every serious collector of books, everybody who has more than a few shelves full, has not read all of them.

Article 5 doesn’t actually oblige NATO members

I do not share your interpretation (although I know that it has been the popular one recently).

I read it like this:

1. The obligation is out of any question: they “will” assist.

2. The goal of all measures is defined: “restore […] peace and security”.

3. The choice of measures isn’t totally free. It must fit to that goal.

So, yes they can decide whether or not no use force, but they cannot follow random political agendas there.

And not fold paper airplanes instead of real ones :)

Greenland is not a nato member

That’s like saying your right arm isn’t a human.

Greenland is simply a part of Denmark, so it is a NATO member.

USA itself would violate it’s own membership. With such an act it became the enemy of the NATO.

Ich schätze mal,

Gut dann ist das geklärt. Nur Vermutung, kein Beweis.

Und bei dem Umgang möchte ich dir widersprechen. Wir brauchen keinen besseren Umgang mit […]

Dann werden “die anderen” (wer auch immer das jeweils gerade ist) dasselbe über dich sagen und damit habt ihr beide der Gesellschaft geschadet.

der an dem brutalen Angriff auf Antifaschist:in­nen am Berliner Ostkreuz im vergangenen Jahr beteiligt gewesen sein soll.

Solange das nicht bewiesen ist, ist das aber bloß eine öffentliche Denunziation.

Denunziation ist gleich schlimm, ob sie von rechts oder von links kommt.

Ich rede deshalb nicht für die eine oder für die andere Seite, sondern wir brauchen einen besseren Umgang miteinander und mit dem jeweiligen politischen “Gegner”. Solange solche Methoden akzeptiert werden, ist das zum Schaden für die ganze Gesellschaft.

Ich liebe sowas! Er hängt sich voll rein für seine Überzeugung. Radikal sein, ohne dabei gewalttätig (oder anderweitig unanständig) werden zu müssen.

geht mMn weit über den Nahostkonflikt hinaus.

Eigentlich nicht. Es ist gerade dieser eine Konflikt, bei dem in D einige so und andere so eingestellt sind (ich hoffe, dass das jetzt neutral genug formuliert war) der aber gleichzeitig so heftige Auswirkungen hat, dass er noch stärker polarisierend wirkt als all unsere innerdeutschen Probleme.

Asking was unthinkable. At 17 I was glad when they informed me :)

Nice try, Bezos

Mujahideen in Afghanistan or on the front lines of Korea or any of a dozen other proxy wars.

I do not count these as the Cold War.

Proxy wars have their special funding and maybe false motives, but they are hot wars. Real wars.

The Cold War consisted of threats. Piling up weapons, bombs, nukes, and counting and comparing who’s got more of them. These threats were made mainly by politicians. Maybe I was wrong in saying they “fought” it.

Who exactly

Some AI or other, at some 3 letter agency, but they will never tell you exactly.

The U.S. is eyeing Greenland

I believe that the Great Tricktator is already determined to rob it. Question is only, how, that means, which exact tactic he is going to apply.

I am so fucking glad Europe got nukes.

The Cold War is over. We live in very different times now. Try to understand it.

to further erode European sovereignty?

This whole situation is not about Europe. Europe is a mere nuisance.

This is how people brainwashed by capitalism would use it to deprive us all of the post-scarcity future.

That doesn’t work out. Unfortunately.

Reason:

When it was politicians who fought the Cold War, they were few who had actually a say, and these few got some minimum brain, at least.

But in your scenario, it is random jerks who execute that scheme everywhere. There will be some who pull the trigger just for … all kinds of stupid shit that has triggered them. So you’d have nukes going off somewhere, at least every few days, and then nobody can really rule the world anymore with them. The power of the threat will be gone.

I make another Elon.

And then another on the next day, and then another etc. When I have got a dozen of them, I let them loose on the real one and on each other and watch whatever happens.

Next I make another Trump…

In my understanding, art is made of

1. creativity

2. craftsmanship

If one of them is lacking, then the outcome is either just a copy, or even a bad copy.

Current AI is lacking both.

So whenever anyone calls generated pictures “art”, then you know something about that one.
