    The only brain twisting I see here is you trying to sympathise with terrorist organisations. The Palestinian health organisation is controlled by Hamas. They regulary lie about many things, including casualties. Just look at the hospital “air strike” a few weeks back. It turned out to be Hamas’ own rockets that hit the parking lot. How many casualties did Palestine say it was? 500 on an near empty parking lot… I find it hard to believe, that the Hospital put 500 people on the lot. And if they did, where were the bloody corpses in the footage? There were probably casualties by that misfire. It was neither 500 casualties (probably closer to maybe 20), nor was the IDF responsible for that one.

    Yes, there is a lot of suffering and I hope for a soon end to the conflict. But please, don’t blindly trust the Palestinian goverment like that. Neither do blindly trust Israel, either. Both sides can’t be fully trusted, not until independent organisations can verify all claims.

    Hamas has switched to informational war with fake numbers and campaigns on social media and this has been proven over and over again. Both sides are exaggerating, but Israel at least is not undermined by terrorists.

    Now downvote me to oblivion, because I don’t trust everything blindly like the Ministry of Truth want’s us to.


  • Why entitlement? He paid good money for a service and hardware and still got fucked sideways and got his data sold to shady assholes. Is it now bad to not want to be scammed and be spied on, while PAYING for something?

    I used Netflix multiple years and it just got worse and worse in quality and convenience, while getting more expensive. Something that doesn’t happen when sailing the high seas. I don’t have to dox myself when pirating (unless you fucked it up yourself, ofc). I don’t have to justify why I try to watch something away from home. I’m not region restricted, because of licensing issues or some bullshit law some corrupt politician made up, while hoisting the black flag. And finally, I don’t need to pay multiple expensive subscriptions, because some companies want to take a piece of the cake, too.

    You know what happened to pirating movies and series, when Netflix first started its streaming business and you could watch everyting on one platform for a reasonable price? Piracy drastically decreased. It only got a “problem” again, after the streaming services got greedy and tried their best to screw the users over with restrictions.



  • You are putting words in my mouth. I never said I’m opposed to mod support across platforms. In fact, I wish that more games would do this. I looked into mod.io for a bit and have to apologise, though. It seems I fell for the privacy concern myth, if you can call it that.

    I still oppose some implementations of it. The game “Ready or Not” especially is atrocious with its mod.io implementation. You can only install + enable, or uninstall mods there. No disable option what so ever. Really fun with mods that are multiple GB in size, like maps.











  • But Israel is not just randomly bombing Gaza? Hamas uses the Gaza People as a meat shield. They have taken all of Gaza hostage.

    Should Israel just let themselves get bombed by those degenerate Terrorists without attacking themselves, because Hamas has a meat shield?

    Honestly, Israel could just glass the Gaza Strip in a few days. Instead, they target specific buildings and points, even “knocking” before blowing it up, so civilians (and the terrorists) can escape. It is tragic that there are civilian casualties, but it cannot be completely avoided in this specific circumstances. Hamas desperately has their launch sites near hospitals and schools and playing fields.




  • If the power networks are connected, you sometimes have surprisingly little control over it, tbh.

    That’s true. I wonder how those statistics are made, where they say how many % of imports are from what resource, that I have seen floating around. Could be estimates, I guess?

    There are hurdles with going 100% green, no doubt about that. Like you said, the infrastructure has to accommodate for changing output and all that. Sweden does it right and the Swedes can be proud of themselves.

    Other nations still have to follow Swedens lead. Quite a few countries just took down their nuclear reactors without having a plan how to compensate the lost energy. Switzerland itself could claim a respectable renewable electricity mix with all our water pumping plants. But we still import like 70% from abroad, a lot from France and Germany. The latter beeing quite the “smoker”.

    I hope you see my point a bit. I’ m just fed up with that “Look, we are so green!” narrative, because they only show the statistics in their national borders. Sweden was just a poorly chosen example on my part.
