Das was die Nazis veranstalten hat nichts mit Stochastik zu tun. Bei denen sind die Gewalttäter, nicht die Prediger, die treibende Kraft.
Die Entscheidung oder zumindest die Kommunikation zum CSD der Bundestagspräsidentin war absolut daneben, ich bezweifel aber mal stark dass sich irgendwelche Nazis davon haben beeinflussen haben.
Die Symbolpolitik die du suchst ist das ganz konkrete Versagen so einiger Innen- und Justizminister gegen den Hass klar Kante zu zeigen. Die Präsidentin hat zwar eine eigene Polizei die wirste aber nicht außerhalb des Bundestages finden. Den Nazis geht das am Arsch vorbei was im Bundestag passiert, das kriegen die noch nicht mal mit. Die kriegen mit ob irgendwo ein Kamerad wegen einfacher Körperverletzung oder das gleiche aber in Verbindung mit §46 StGB verknackt wird. Das sind materielle Symbole.
Ich frag' mich gerade wo do den Widerspruch zwischen dem verlinkten und deinem Post siehst. Ist auch kein Widerspruch zum verlinktem OP, nur halt etwas Nuance: Ja, man kann mehrere Dinge gleichzeitig tun, ja, man kann sich aber auch über Symbolpolitik aufregen, wenn eben nicht beides gemacht wird. Und Nazis gibt's übrigens auch nicht weniger wenn die Mieten unbezahlbar sind.

Frisian and Low Saxon should be practically the same to English speakers, Frisian being more closely related to English is more of a technical thing than a practical one: In practice English uses a gigantic amount of Romance words and is not mutually intelligible with either, while Low Saxon and Frisian do have a decent amount of mutual intelligibility... you can always cherrypick something mutually intelligible, of course, but knowing Low Saxon Frisian is easy to wrap your head around once you decode the accent. Difference like RP vs. Scots I'd say.
Here’s the video; it’s pretty entertaining if you’re into languages.
Bujen? I don't speak West Frisian but dictionaries spit out keapje. Kuupe for North Frisian (mainland), in Low Saxon it's köpen or kopen. Half of the difference there is spelling the other half the exact vowels/dipthongs. The Low Saxon ones are actually diphthongs they just get analysed as long vowels.
The "buy" root seems to be extinct in all other Germanic languages, everyone uses the root for cheap, instead.
English does seem to drift the semantics of its Germanic roots like a motherfucker. People snicker about place names like "Quickborn" but if you weren't English-brained it'd just mean "lively spring" to you. Speaking of fuck.
There's no "behind the scenes" there are plenty of EU-based cloud providers. Including SAP though that's not why I mentioned them.
It'd take some time to organise a replacement organisation but it's not like those systems collapse when the central service goes down. We do have our own root servers and the internet can survive a month or two of not being able to register new tlds or assign subnets.
On the flipside, I wonder how US multinationals would fare without SAP.
The code section in particular is gold and exactly the type of online content we need. A big reason why chuds like Tate are successful is because they provide a code ("compass, outlets, who you're with, how it feels"), which before the internet was something everyone built for themselves, actively picking and choosing, while nowadays the algorithms do the picking+choosing for us. Or, well, before the algorithmic internet boomers largely got that stuff from old institutions (be that church or the party), Gen X from rebellion, then come us sweet-spot millennials seeing the boomer/X conflict and having access to previously unheard of amounts of information to actively choose from, and then Gen Y and younger getting fed by the outrage machine.
So what we need is algorithm-compatible content that challenges the whippersnappers to build their own code, in an active manner. Give guidelines, give examples, but don't decide for them (that makes you no better than the algorithm or for that matter Gen X and boomers) and definitely don't make it a list of don'ts: They're in the process of adapting instincts to currentyear, good living requires finding a configuration that denies none, our task is to help them not being maladaptive, steering away from both neurosis (denial of instinct) as well as asocial BS (exploiting in/outgroup instincts for power plays, oxytocin can be vile). To do that you need to point out the various fundamental drives, validate all of them, make that shit resonate as deeply as possible so they spot the drives themselves instead of some social construct painting over it, enable them to draw a map of their needs, then give examples, plural, of how it can all be integrated in a coherent fashion.
No argument from me there but when I bought that 1500W kettle Amazon was still a book shop. I'm not saying that 15 Euro were a good price but it's what I think REWE (as in the supermarket, do they still use that brand for physical stores?) sold it to me for because I couldn't be arsed to make a trek into the city to visit a proper appliance store.
Drip machines make worse coffee and are more of a hassle than just dumping hot water into the filter holder all at once so I'll chalk it up to abysmal US coffee culture combined with consumerism, then.
If kettles were continuous loads we'd have to reduce from 16A to 10A (2200W) or 8A (1800W). Schuko are rated for as little as 1h of 16A but for a kettle that's plenty, they're done in a minute or two.
German stoves are connected to at least 2x10A, newer installations (as in since the 70s or such) all provide 3x16A. Not actually three-phase they're still 220V appliances. Whether the outlets, light etc. are on different phases differs widely.
Not the ones I was thinking of. Great, you found a cheap kettle at mediamarkt, good for you. Here's a 1500W one, also not the one I was thinking of. I was thinking of one I once had. The one that's the reason why my current one is 3000W and wide enough to not risk tipping over.
If that’s your take on this thread then you’re just as complicit as the rest of these incels.
It's my take on my own contributions. Note that those didn't include "defending some guy", it really was an exhaustive list. How you managed to get that wrong in a post in which you apologised about getting something wrong is something you'll have to ask your dead horse, I suppose.
Lol, falsely conflating me telling you not to blame POC and women for late stage capitalism with telling you not to cry is pretty hilarious.
I did what?
What injustice are you facing that generations of women and immigrants haven’t been receiving the whole time?
I've been using this thread as an opportunity to talk about a positive example, and that's the marked increase in male childcare workers in Germany. I pointed out some masculine influencers doing good work. I bemoaned that much "X for women/girls" stuff is half-assed feel-good BS, prone to causing more harm than good (because half-assed, because it's done for optics instead of the thing itself).
I've been constructive. I didn't lash out and try to put people down for caring about their issues. I didn't wrap people up in ass-long back and forth threads demanding justification after justification why they care just to find an excuse to pounce, then ride my high horse into the sunset.
Oh, and I also shot the horse of some guy.
Oxygen content will differ which can actually make a difference when brewing tea.
I usually don't drain my kettle but when I'm pulling out the yixing pot and good leaves, I'm using all fresh water and set the thermostat so that it'll stop well before boiling.
A European 15 buck plastic kettle will likely also not pull more than 1500W. And probably only hold a litre. And still be overpriced.

> Distraction is one of the hottest button issues today. Everywhere there seems to be assaults on our focus. Recently I came across two wonderful videos by the inimitable Jared Henderson (@_jared) on our declining focus rates, and it took me on a long research journey into the true terrifying effects of our limited focus.
> Life is meaningless, but how do we cope? That is the question asked by Albert Camus in his landmark text The Myth of Sisyphus. Here I will draw upon this work amongst others Camus penned like The Stranger to give an overview of how Camus thinks we should live in a world where everything seems meaningless, and the universe will not hear our calls for a higher purpose. I will also focus on some of his more radical ideas as they are often glossed over or made more palatable by many popular interpretations of his words. Think of this as a slightly more provocative version of my genuine interpretation of the great thinker's ideas.
Long story short, found a paper. Abstract:
> It is often thought that, for the Stoics, assent and the suspension of assent to kataleptic impressions is voluntary in the sense that one can deliberate about assenting or suspending assent. Against this view, I examine the relevant sources closely and argue that they point in a different direction: assent and suspension of assent to kataleptic impressions is not a matter of deliberation. Instead, kataleptic impressions force our assent in the absence of obstacles that make it difficult to discern kataleptic from non-kataleptic impressions. Surprisingly, neither is the act of withholding assent to kataleptic impressions a matter of deliberation; instead, the presence of obstacles that make it difficult to discern kataleptic from non-kataleptic impressions triggers the activation of a disposition to withhold assent. However, we can acquire this disposition through training in dialectic. This means that deliberation can be involved in the acquisition of this disposition. However, the act of assenting and the act of withholding assent to kataleptic impressions is not guided by deliberation.

I think you'll find your way to libgen yourself, it's chapter 13 in the book, haven't read anything else from it yet though some stuff looks interesting.

Overall this characterisation of katalepsis strengthens me in my assumption that what the Stoics are trying to get at is the exact same thing that Zen folks call "direct knowledge".
The best subjective (hey, this is phenomenology) experiment to demonstrate the clear distinction between this stuff and ordinary thoughts I know of, as in, "doesn't involve faith or decades of staring at the wall" comes from a technique the lucid dreaming community came up with to trigger lucid dreams: Ask yourself whether you're awake. If you're awake, the response to that question will be right-out unassailable, you just know, kinda feels silly to even ask. When you ask yourself that question regularly throughout the day, after maybe a week or two, the mind gets used to regularly posing that question and will also do it when you're sleeping, and if you get it right in that context, your dreams will become lucid (You'll be dreaming and simultaneously know that you're dreaming, allowing you to consciously steer them to at least some degree). If you get it wrong, which shouldn't be hard to do, the qualia, the spot that the wrong answer comes from will be quite different, which can be remembered when you're awake, again. "Qualia" and "spot" both kinda bad terms it's not a thing that can really be put into words, just suspend disbelief will you. The wrong answer comes from, as the paper puts it, an obstacle to assent, obscuring the view of the kataleptic impression: Your mind could tell your consciousness the truth but it has other plans for tonight, you knowing that you're asleep-yet-conscious would only get into the way of that.

Furthermore I think the first rule of this sub should be "Never assent to non-kataleptic impressions". Yes I'm going to Cato this.
Der halbe Roman der bei der ARD als Zusammenfassung durchgeht:
> Nuhr sieht eine fast chronische Krisenwahrnehmung in Deutschland, die sich seit Jahrzehnten kaum verändert habe: „Seit ich denken kann, geht die Welt unter.“ Bereits als Kind sei er mit "Waldsterben, Ozonloch, Tschernobyl“ konfrontiert gewesen – heute sehe er viele Dinge optimistischer: „Inzwischen habe ich gelernt, darüber ernsthaft zu lachen.“ > > Das laut „Glücksreport“ vergleichsweise geringe Glücksniveau und die Unzufriedenheit in Deutschland führt der Kabarettist auf ein kulturelles Erbe zurück: „In Deutschland ist, glaube ich schon, auch einer der großen Gründe für unseren Erfolg gewesen, dass wir eigentlich nie zufrieden waren.“ Bei seinen Reisen, etwa nach Indien, Nepal oder Saudi-Arabien, habe er erlebt, dass Glück offenbar weniger von äußeren Umständen als von inneren Haltungen bestimmt sei: „Trotzdem trifft man auf eine ungeheure Gelassenheit“, insbesondere in buddhistisch und hinduistisch geprägten Kulturen mit „einem gewissen Fatalismus“. > > Die politische Lage in Deutschland sieht Nuhr kritisch. Den aktuellen Koalitionsvertrag etwa kommentiert er skeptisch: „Ich habe bisher nur gehört: wollen, gucken mal, ob wir ...“. Nuhr bezweifelt grundsätzlich die Umsetzbarkeit politischer Versprechen, insbesondere beim Thema Migrationswende: „Ich glaube, dass keine Regierung das schaffen wird.“ Er weist auf Versäumnisse der Vergangenheit bei der europäischen Sicherheitspolitik hin: „Solange es uns selber nichts anging, haben wir auch nicht richtig hingeguckt.“ Das führe nun zu einem Rechtsruck in Europa: „Wir ernten überall rechte Regierungen.“ > > Gleichzeitig befürwortet Nuhr, dass Union und SPD das Thema Migration nun anpacken würden: „Wenn jetzt nichts passiert, haben wir wirklich in vier Jahren eine AfD bei weiß ich nicht wieviel Prozent.“ Die Auseinandersetzung mit der AfD bewertet er nüchtern: „Es gibt sehr viele Psychopathen bei denen. Ich würde erst mal sagen, dass man mit der AfD überhaupt keine Politik machen kann.“ > > Der Satiriker zeigt sich zudem besorgt über das Vertrauen in die Demokratie: „Wenn man dem Wähler nicht zutraut, die Probleme beurteilen zu können, dann kann man die Demokratie gleich zumachen.“ Nuhr macht auf eine verfehlte Debattenkultur aufmerksam: „Wenn jeder Nazi ist, dann gibt es für einen richtigen Nazi plötzlich gar keine Bezeichnung mehr.“ > > Mit Blick auf die aktuelle, auch von Trump angeheizte Wokeness-Debatte sagt Nuhr, die Bewegung habe mit „völlig überzogener“ Moral eine Gegenreaktion provoziert: „Man sieht, dass man da genau diese Form des Populismus hat, wo eben jemand an die Macht kommt, der einfach in seiner charakterlichen Bildung gar nicht geeignet dazu ist.“ > > Trotz der kritischen Analysen betont Nuhr, als Kabarettist mache er weiterhin Scherze über die aktuelle politische Lage: „Natürlich, ich habe mein Leben lang Scherze gemacht, es ist ja der Sinn des Humors, sozusagen das Leben erträglich zu machen.“ Den politischen Wandel sieht der Kabarettist dabei auch als neue Inspirationsquelle: „Ich hatte solche Sorgen, dass mir diese Regierung wegbricht. (...) Jetzt gibt es, glaube ich, schon genug Kandidaten.“
