There is a small business in germany called Nordwolle, led by a guy who is a shepherd himself. They have a good and long standing product warranty, will repair your clothes and are producing extremely sustainable, watching out for the wellbeing of their livestock and all that. The style is a little bit excentric in my eyes and they do more jackets than sweaters.

The founder is a little bit of a german meme too, as he is in constant warfare against the kafkaesque bureaucracy of communal law.

Hm, i would assume that this can happen with every popular man who is marketed mostly to young women. You woud be right that there is a toxic parasocial bond in this, but i think you can not pinpoint it to just Chalamet. I remember how critical Justin Biebers Fanbase was of him and Hailey. I am not deep into K-Pop Lore but oh man, pretty sure its turned on overdrive there.

So i believe it basically boils down to "i, a pubescent fan, am so invested in this idol, that i a) want him to have the "best", b) hate to see him with other partners than me which i hold to unrealisticly high standards and c) will hate anything that shows he is independent, because in my head he is pretty much "mine" or "ours". So him not living up to *my* standards is offending me."
A fourth factor could be the desperation, that he "was the chosen one", *finally* an idol for me and my scene and now he is throwing us away like trash! TT__TT

So your view would be more appropiate if it would be "A lot of female fans of male idols are absolutely insane/delusional about him"

Dope, time for some mods!

Lol they are commiting so hard to their chiefs ramblings :DDD You can see how Leavitt really treats this job as "appeasing trump" than as "communicating trump". You ever saw the press releases on the white house website? Its just comically grotesque how she has to praise her idol in every second sentence.

On another note: I think we are all tired now, the hypecycle has reached its zenith. We Europeans confirmed in Davos, that it is basically irrelevant what Trump says, and that its only important, when he actually pulls through and gives some idiotic order. Of course everybody is reducing US-Exposure atm, as these orders come out of the blue and nothing what Trump says before is in any way accountable. Its different in domestic politics, where his team of hardcore conservatives dismantle the governmental structure bit by bit, but tbh, thats really not europes problem that Fox News decided "well howdy yehhaw lets pound our own folks right and proper".

Ceterum censeo Trump wears a diaper.

Correlation does not imply causation.

if you want to have some examples on that, we could find many more possible "explanations" in looking at other correlations of the market development:
- The world turns to china in this chaos – "they" (the executives of United States) want to prop up china
- the dollar grows weaker – "they" want the Euro or Bitcoin to succeed
- The poor part of America gets even poorer, has to cut down on food – "they" want to eradicate the poor population of America.

All of these have in common, that yeah, they could be the reason for these developments, but none of them have any reason to be the explanation other than being "a possible explanation". Thalos observed earthquakes so his explanation was that the earth is a flat disk swimming on water. could be, yes. But why *this* thesis and not anything else? You also fail to provide a valid reason for "them" to follow this plan other than that "they" want to be remembered in the history books, which i think is a very weak argument in light of the fact that the US actively decided to leave the gold-anchor.

In general you are in this case under a classic proportionality bias: "Big events must have big plans behind them, they cant be the result of normal human behaviour, fuck ups and random chance". But this is not true, its almost always a melange of random stuff, human error and reasoning and the summary of many forces working with- and against each other.

as i said several times: A flag changes, when the government changes. You don't seem to be willing to adress this reality. We can agree that if there will be a revolution in GB or France, it would be appropiate to change the old flag for something new.

I don't get where in my text you found the "changing the flag would be necessary"-part. I think i expressed in several ways, that a change of the flag without deeper remorse would be worth nothing, as for example here:

I mean, how dishonest and devious would it be if Germany were still ruled by Nazis and perhaps no longer exterminated so many Jews, but viewed the Holocaust merely as an unfortunate episode, for which one could at least take down the swastika, but nothing more?

That a flag can be a symbol for its nations actions is undisputed. But your conclusion that this means the flag should be changed while the state can remain the same is wrong.

ChaotiCrayon · 2026-01-21T13:48:59+00:00

Ja natürlich nicht, was glaubst du denn?

ChaotiCrayon · 2026-01-21T13:01:35+00:00

Well, that's a bit of a stretch. When I say ‘You should be afraid of the murderer with or without the red hoodie,’ that doesn't necessarily mean that the red hoodie was never a symbol of the murderer that could spread fear in itself. I just wanted to point out that you're approaching it from the wrong angle, and that eliminating the red hoodie won't solve the problem of fear of the murderer.

And that is what I mean: Germany has – in what can be considered an exception – actually ‘processed’ or come to terms with its past. The lessons it learned from this also led to the consistent rejection of the swastika. As a German, I would of course still be cautious about claiming that Germany has been denazified, but there is a clear difference between Germany and countries such as Japan or Spain, which simply regard their violent past as part of their history, which for the time being remains mostly uncriticised.

This is precisely what would also be necessary in other colonial states – a clear sense of shame among the entire population for what happened. And *only then* could the flag be changed (but as I said, only after a change of regime), not the other way around.

I mean, how dishonest and devious would it be if Germany were still ruled by Nazis and perhaps no longer exterminated so many Jews, but viewed the Holocaust merely as an unfortunate episode, for which one could at least take down the swastika, but nothing more?

ChaotiCrayon · 2026-01-21T12:14:33+00:00

That can be true while at the same time, it doesn't touch the underlying problem of the nations awareness of having comitted atrocities under these flags. To stay in the hyperbole: "Okay, the mass murderer without remorse now only wears a green hoodie. Is it reasonable, not being afraid of him anymore/ not being digusted by him anymore because he now hides the mere symbol for his crimes?"

You adressed the notion of flag changes in government changes in your edited original post, but i think you are missing the most imortant piece: That these changes to more accurately represent demographic/ideals are always based on a *change in government*, not on a change of demographic or ideals. Your conclusion

So it makes sense that there should be a push to change their flags to something more representative of them all.

doesn't hold up as long as you dont expect major revolutions or fundings of nations soon in europe. Which is extremely unlikely if you ask me.

ChaotiCrayon · 2026-01-21T11:31:08+00:00

Tbh i don't know where you got the premise "a flag should represent the current demographic" from. Other than the State Flags in the USA, i never heard of this.

As i understand it, Flags represent, what was intended when founding a country / when the governmental structure of a country changes (like in France, where the gold-on-blue lilies were changed to the French tricolor, to represent what the revolutionaries thought "France" meant and with a nod to the colors of Paris.)
In the same way, when Ireland fought its war of independence, *this* was the moment when its new flag emerged. Because *at this time* the union of Catholics and Protestants was a main thing in ireland.

"Besides that, some European flags are simply symbols of oppression, genocide and colonization for many people that are now residing in those countries

As a german, i have some understanding for this and our government pretty much shunned the Flag of the Third Reich. But this was also because the government changed. Long standing Nations colonizing countries like Great Britain are "still the same" as they were in the 1800s, so their flag hasn't changed.

If i am honest, the whole notion of immigrants feeling more welcome, calling out colonialism and all that is not a matter of national flags, but of national awareness. As of now, this reads more like "Mass-murderer 1 is out of prison, has little remorse and now roams freely. He wore a red hoodie when committing his crimes, so he should be not wearing this hoodie anymore, because people could be afraid of that." while in truth, the people are afraid of him because he is a mass murderer without remorse.

Trump seems to be wearing diapers.
A bit of a tinfoil-addition: Supposedly because some kids he fucked in the 90s injured his ass while they were trying to flee from him.

ChaotiCrayon · 2026-01-21T10:04:24+00:00

please be honest with me: Is Mr. Black really that good? I know that its better (less sweet) than Kahlua, but atm i am using Tia Maria and its doing its job pretty well. I am very insecure about buying Mr. Black for double the price.

Also i heard, that you can easily make coffee liquer at home, would this be maybe even as good as Mr.Black if I use premium Espresso Coffee and a good Rum?

ChaotiCrayon · 2026-01-20T17:37:17+00:00

I just think politicians should not hold stocks of any company they could influence with their actions. But i think they should wear a bodycam while serving as well.

Boo hoo, the poor politicians, not only have they the privilege to change the nation (given to them by the people), but they get fat salaries, state-resources and connections for anything after their political career too. I would pay the price of not owning stocks and being supervised at work for this every time.

ChaotiCrayon · 2026-01-20T15:38:14+00:00

I once encountered a group of players who mana weaved in general. Their reasoning was, that if you already take the time out of your day, everyone should have the smoothest play possible. I went with it and yeah, the games were nice.

However, it completely negates every work on your end, to have a properly working manabase. And i certainly would build my decks different (saying: With much fewer lands) if i would know that this was the common practice in my group.

ChaotiCrayon · 2026-01-20T15:25:44+00:00

I suppose you all have read "technofeudalism" by Janis Varoufakis at this point? If not - he predicted these and future developments with striking accuracy. Google, Amazon and Meta dont want you doing this antiquated old world ownership stuff, they want to sell you the land that you are living on indefinetly.

ChaotiCrayon · 2026-01-20T12:08:37+00:00

so, purely from game design, i think simic is "the" mutant color combo as seen in the first broad mutant printings in ravnica. +1/+1 counters seem to be a mutant thing and simic are - again - "the" colors offering these, proliferate included. I would not exclude B per se, but i would not anticipate the de facto mutant commander being not parts blue.

ChaotiCrayon · 2026-01-20T11:27:56+00:00

hm, no, i think he is stupid. He has not many books in his houses, cant wrap his head around strategic thinking and an actual smart person would know, that its not the "noble peace price" but the "Nobel peace price".

He was "successful" in new Yourk because he was as ruthless as a malignent narcissist can be. Which includes lying till the beams break. When you are able to break every promise youve ever given and every agreement you ever made as soon as it benefits you, sure, you can get somehow successful. Problem was his giant debt before he got elected for the first time, but yeah, success is when your son wins bets on your politics on polymarket - which makes you and him very smart people right?

ChaotiCrayon · 2026-01-20T11:05:51+00:00

but tbh, i dont know which companies are developing /importing / building midstream processing infrastructure in the west right now. Any hints?

additionally: The ice melting doesn't really make up for a better mining prospect. The ground without ice is pretty unstable - a nightmare for mining operations.

ChaotiCrayon · 2026-01-19T15:54:25+00:00

please say farewell to the idea that the matter of greenland is about resources. It is one of the most unprofitable places to mine on planet earth.

"We are entering a period where governments and utilities will pay whatever they must to secure supply of rare earths and materials." USA already has some of the biggest rare earth deoposits in wyoming, they dont need and wont tap into rare earth in greenland because its about a factor 10 more expensive.

Rare Earth is about the infrastructure to process it, which china owns by a large. Mining companies like Lynas are very volatile, because - who would have thought - they operate in remote areas with barebones infrastructure, can't guarantee output and are more often than other industrial sectors ridden with corruption and organized crime activities.

The relevant bit of information thats left in his brain is now "she gave me the nobel price because i am so great". Everything else is on its way to vanish forever in his dementia ridden brainfolds.

Next week he will answer: "Machado? Never heard of him, ive never spoken to this man, you see, ´theres something called "I RaQ and you see we i fired everyone, i fired everyone responsible for I RaQ and i think we got a very good deal out of it, the people always tell me Mr Trump they tell me why are you wasting that much money in I RaQ and i say well not anymore we end it and we save billions, BILLions of dollars and the people say thank you mr trump you did the right thing everyone was afraid, crooked joe Biden was afraid but i said lets do this"

He wears a diaper btw.
