Kebab war ignites as Germany fights Turkey over food protection
  • I've eaten a sloppy döner panini at a random train station somewhere once. They used mayonnaise to make it even more greasy. It went hard because I just came home from a ten hour shift. This experience tought me that no food is to sacred to me modified in seemingly disgusting ways. When it's fire it's fire.

  • White Man's Burden, Lloyd, my man! White Man's Burden.
  • I had a friend go "yea I dont like how they just made Frenchie gay now" like dude, he is one of the fruitiest characters I've ever seen. And he has always been like that. I feel like anti LGBTQ+ people just dont have people skills and can't tell if someone is queer. That would explain why they keep insisting that back in the day noone way bi and all that.

  • Bill Gates-backed startup makes ‘butter’ out of water and carbon dioxide
  • I don't know about international food, but the German vegan meat companies like Rügenwalder Mühle and Like meat have made huge leaps last year. Mortadella, Fleischwurst, Schnitzel and Chicken Nuggets all taste almost identical to the original. Ground "meat" is close, but you have to chose the right kind for each recipe. More complex stuff is still really bad tho. I say all of this as a passionate vegan meat hater.

  • Why are many people in America so politically unaware?
  • Ok so I study political science (second semester so not an expert at all) and last semester I had to research a lot about turnout rates for people in less fortunate situations. The answer is really simple actually. If people live in shit situations they don't trust the government and they start to not care. Education is worse when you don't have enough money. There is also a constant struggle to make politics feel closer to the people because that directly impacts if you will educate yourself and go participate. Unfortunately politics feels like it is either actively against you or at least doesn't do anything for you if you are at the bottom .One thing that might be important in the US is that slums decrease political awareness / willingness to vote because these people who are probably not going to care are surrounded by more people that don't care. So if noone around you says something good about the government you are going to hate it even more.

    All of this leads to an underrepresentation of these groups which leads to their problems being overlooked or underestimated which leads to worse conditions which leads to less political activity which leads to less representation....its a cycle that makes millions of peoples lives worse every day. And at some point they just don't care about politics because politics seems to not care about them. None of my sources are in English so get bozoed I could be lying about all of this.

  • Do you think there are any beliefs which makes a person believing them a horrible person, or is it *always* 'hate the belief, not the person'?
  • I used to think that believes really don't matter as long as the person doesn't act on it, but almost all believes shape who we are. It starts with little comments and evolves into actions. It doesn't have to be that way if people acknowledge harmful ideas, but if you let someone believe that women are worthless or that their race makes them superior for long enough they will become a bad person.

  • A cool guide for rude hand gestures. (better resolution)
  • Not only are the gestures for Germany not offensive in Germany ("the fig" is known as an offencife gestere here though. Probably because of the Turkish influence), but the flag with emblem was used. The emblem is only to be used by federal agencies.

  • What's stopping him?
  • Well, yes he is. He is both legislative and executive. In the US system head of state and head of government are the same person. In Germany for example the head of state is the federal president Frank-Walter Steinmeier. He is part of the Legislative and ratifies laws. Then there is the more famous chancellor who is the head of government Olaf Scholz. He holds the executive power. Although Bidens power in legislation is limited he still has some.

  • What are the crazy adventures you want to try in your life?
  • Does caving also include going into caves that have been explored and secured before? Or do you mean full on diving into the unknown? Because ive seen too many video essays and read too much H.P. Lovecraft to even think about that.

  • The UN Human Rights Council finds Israel guilty of war crimes against Palestinians. #Gaza
  • No. The only organ that can make "binding" decisions is the security council. Unfortunately all decisions (except for administrative questions) need the approval of china, russia, the UK, France aaand the US. So I doubt that tha the US will ever sanction Israel because it would mean they are admitting to supporting war criminals.

  • a cool guide of foods
  • People in Japan did not eat salmon sushi because it was considered unsafe. The type of salmon caught by Japanese fishermen is not fit for raw consumption. That's why salmon sushi only got popular when Norwegian companies exported the fish.

  • How to bypass Wi-Fi limitations

    Hey everyone, I live in a dorm like apartment where my Internet plan is part of my contract. I have a monthly data limit which just isn't enough for me. Buying additional data is stupid expensive. I found out though that your used data is only calculated once you disconnect from the internet completely. So my idea is to get a small device that is constantly connected. I could use an Amazon echo / Google home, but I'm not comfortable with the idea of having one. Could I just hook up something like a raspberry pie to the Internet and how would I go about ensuring that it has a constant connection? Thanks for your time and sorry for the long post.
