Please increase it by 10% every month. It’s the only thing that’ll make our fuckwitted, asskissing, bootlicking, saliva-guzzling, Trump-slaves understand.

Is that a Katey Perry fuckdoll?

The fuck do you mean? We are all winners in the longterm. The longer this goes on, the greener our cities will become, the faster we will move towards a green future, the faster we will understand that the right-wing bullshit about green energy being unnecessary and the safest option is just that: bullshit.

We need this to continue until the end of Trump’s reign so that everybody gets it through their thick skulls: fuck oil.

Some argue that access to VPN services should be restricted to users above a digital age of majority.

The Epstein class argues that…

South Eastern European countries need to become less corrupt and a culture change, for sure. Then they can make headway in so many things.

It’s cheaper to fly because of all the subsidies for flights

LMAO, that’s hilarious!

Sweden is probably going to buy it all from the US. Won’t make much of a difference. Sweden is quite deep up in the US butthole.

Opportunity to do something else with your life. Kids are unaffordable. World is going to shit.

And they refuse to tax wealth because approval ratings mean nothing if people will just vote for another party (the nazi party) that won’t tax the rich and their wealth. It’s all the same to them. If there were a big slide to the left-wing parties, boy would there be a problem (for the rich uber-wealthy).

The digital euro won’t require the use a smartphone! That means no more Google and no more Malus necessary to spy on our transfers. if Wero can do the same, fine, but they refuse to decouple from the US, so fuck them (until they decouple).

His conduct in parliamentary negotiations, his public speeches and his appearances at industry events all suggest a preference for private-sector solutions over the digital euro.

Navarrete has an extensive background in the banking sector. He held several high-level positions at the Bank of Spain and served as the director of finance at the Spanish Official Credit Institute.

Ah fuck… why do we let these people into positions where they can kill off competition? Fuck this dude. And of course he’s a right-winger. Would you look at that! Another corrupt anti-European from the right-wing ranks.

Alright, I’ll level with you. What annoyed me was your use of “obviously” and “abundantly clear”. Please consider where you are right now and what medium you’re using:

• you might be anywhere in the world with a completely different experience and culture than me
• you are communicating on a medium where your intention can only be judged by the words you write in the context they are present. no facial expressions, no emojis, no tone of voice, nothing else

So things aren’t as “obvious” as you make them out to be.

Now that that is out of the way, you are still downplaying the role Germany plays in plastic pollution. 810 thousand tonnes is far from a negligible amount to export per year. No matter how you spin it, Western countries still consume and waste obscenely more than non-Western countries. They do terribly in carbon consumption too.

I can appreciate the “at least we aren’t doing as bad those other guys” ( imagine the brag “hey we gassed only 600k Jews, they gassed 2M, we’re so much better!”) , but it’s still 810 thousand tonnes exported to countries that cannot deal with even their domestic plastic waste. If the headline were “Germany dumped 810 kilo tonnes of plastic waste into the ocean”, that would sound no better than the “UK dumped 675 kilo tonnes of plastic waste into the ocean”. Of course, if we just say “exported” it seems cute and maybe even economy boosting. “We gave Malaysia a few megatonnes of plastic and they just dumped it into the ocean! Bad Malaysia, bad!”

Being able to export the waste to a country that a) doesn’t produce even half as much and b) cannot deal with it, doesn’t make up for however much you recycle (or claim to recycle) in your own country. It’s a cop out.

USA getting smoked, top kek

“so what’s a little bit more?”. Yeah, great point.

Obviously that doesn’t make a difference to the country receiving 810k tonnes of trash.

Because we export our fucking plastic there to absolve ourselves of the responsibility. Exporting waste to third-world countries should quite simply be banned and I’m glad at least the EU will do so.

The EU has agreed to ban exports of plastic waste to countries outside the group of mostly rich OECD nations by November 2026, yet half is still being sent to those destinations. Much of the remainder goes to Turkey, now the largest recipients of European plastic waste.

With the ban approaching, there are concerns that all exports could be redirected to developing OECD countries such as Turkey, as well as parts of eastern Europe, which lack the capacity to manage higher volumes.

Then they can finally shut up about “most pollution to seas some from these 3 Asian countries” and walk in their shoes for a while. Even the UK is suffocating under their waste and it’s being dumped everywhere. Tough to blame immigrants when you’re doing the polluting and it ends up in your own backyard.

But the people will find a way to blame immigrants anyway. Anything to avoid taxing the rich and their wealth.

Yes, sent to countries that can’t process it and just dump it in the sea. “not a lot”

So what does this all mean? Is a time machine just around the corner?

Sadly, no. Our experiment is fully explained by standard physics.

But it does show that negative dwell time is not an artefact. However paradoxical it may seem, it has a directly measurable effect on the atomic cloud that the photon traverses. And it reminds us that there are still lands to discover on the odyssey that is quantum research.

I was awaiting on an explanation… now I’m just left wondering.

Maybe the US will suffer greatly and the rest of the world have to come off of the US addiction, but the world might actually be brighter afterwards.

Impressive that in corporate USA this is even a possible outcome, but the decision makers aren’t going to pay anything. This is all corporate money going to the government, none of their personal assets will be touched. This is a taste of justice. It isn’t justice.

I’m surprised CEOs in the US can sleep safely with all the injustice they are doing.
