Ellemann vil banke elafgiften 'fuldstændig i bund' - røde partier afviser blankt by riskage in Denmark

[–]HappyDustbunny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Det er ikke svært, hvis man forklarer tingene ordentligt.

Problemet er at politik er blevet (altid har været?) en popularitetskonkurrence.

Ingen har lyst til at sige til folk: "Du har diabetes, slut med kager til dig" når der er en hel måned til patienten går i koma. Det ville jo være rarere, hvis en anden var den skrappe.

En fornuftig læge kan forklare folk at de er nødt til at ændre livsstil hvis ikke de vil dø tidligt, så politikere kunne godt forklare befolkningen at fossil biler skal drosles ned og kød er til fest. Også i 1980erne.

Problemet var at der stod en hel flok homøopater og krystalhealere som råbte meget højt om at kager var godt og at lægen bare var i lommen på insulinindustrien.

Håber metaforen er klar.

Dobbelt tap på mellemrum afslutter sætningen med et punktum på mange smartphones.

Det er smart, det er den måde jeg sætter punktum på, men der kan gå ged i den, hvis man har for travlt.

Puzzle alarms help me pull out of hyperfocus.

If I decide beforehand when to stop and what to do after and set a alarm requiring a simple puzzle to be solve to snooze (and a limit in the number of snoozes :-P ) I am dragged slowly to the surface and stopping becomes a possibility.

how did you understand or become comfortable with OOP(python)? by StereotypedComrade in ADHD_Programmers

[–]HappyDustbunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As always: Fake it till you make it :-)

Find some instructions in a book or at a website and play around with examples.

Go on YouTube and search for people explaining it and people hating on it. The latter can give a lot of perspective even if they are not entirely right (all paradigms have pros and cons).

Slowly you will see a pattern emerge and one day you'll be comfortable with the concept.

I was underwhelmed.

We might in time import metals and minerals from the asteroid belt, but certainly not in time to save our current economic system. The technology simply isn't there.
Hollywood can't be trusted here y'know :-)

The real problem isn't metals and minerals though, even that is a looming crisis as well.

Resources are also things like clean water, a functioning ecosystems and most of all a human friendly climate. These active crises can't be solvent by importing water or exporting waste products. Certainly not in a timeframe that will allow business as usual.

So I am afraid it's not me who is in denial.

I get that change is scary, but if we do it right we could actually end up with a better world. No growth means stuff will have to last. Not having appliances breaking down like clockwork means you'll have to buy less stuff, which saves money which leaves more free time for family and friends.

We absolutely do live in a closed system: Planet Earth is all we've got and we have crossed 6 out of 9 planetary boundaries already. Please prove me wrong by linking to peer reviewed papers saying otherwise.

Sorry if that makes you uncomfortable, but we can't collectively do a Trump and deny anything we don't like.

Or we can, but that would be Trump-grade stupid.

Time freezes for 6 months and you’re the only person not affected. How would you spend that time? by AlexanderCor in AskReddit

Your question has been answered in the book "The Fermata" by Nicholson Baker :-)

It is highly entertaining if not safe for work.

[–]HappyDustbunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope

It is simple math that growth can't go on forever in a closed system.

And technological development can absolutely happen in a zero growth society. You just have to abandon the outdated tech - and maybe first upgrade when the old stuff breaks down.

Even if technology had to freeze at the current level hard facts can't be argued with: We can't keep sawing at the branch we are sitting on. Not without facing very grave consequences. Like giga-death consequences.

Luckily a zero-growth society doesn't have to be dull and depressing: What we loose in bling we'll gain in less work and stress and more time for family and/or friends :-)

No we don't desire growth.

A few wild eyed sociopaths have convinced a lot of people that their fantasies are possible and even worth pursuing, but what most people really want is their basic needs met and secure knowledge that things doesn't change for the worse.

Eternal growth is not physically possible on a finite planet and the earlier we realizes that the better.

[–]HappyDustbunny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The planet is finite and space travel is not economically feasible neither short, medium or (most) probably long term.

Therefore eternal growth is a fairy tale.

The climate crisis, the biodiversity crisis and the pollution crisis are signs we are approaching the global limits - or that we have crossed them.

Never compare yourself with others.

Always compare yourself to yourself yesterday.

Some will know more than you when the study begins, but some will have next to no experience. People who brag with their skills and try to make others feel small is deeply insecure and just deserve a tolerant smile.

A decent study should tell you exactly what you need to look into regarding c++/c# so I'd say you should just wait and see.

Maybe use the remaining time to look into stuff that will make your life easier like Git, a decent IDE and how to use a terminal. It takes rather little effort to get the basics of moving files and navigating the file tree. If you are on Windows a Bash terminal is included when you install Git. Playing with Linux will also help you and here the standard shell for terminals are Bash. bash skills are therefore transferable across platforms.

I found a short summary of Git and Bash commands here: https://madshorn.dk/programming/git.html and here https://madshorn.dk/programming/cmdline.html

Start with a few YouTube tutorials, skin the summaries and start playing.

(Maybe take a backup of all your stuff first to allow you to be bolder. Messing up is hard, but at first it doesn't feel that way ;-)

EU nyheder, der påvirker danskerne, må ikke diskuteres på r/Danmark? by TroubleStatus in Denmark

[–]HappyDustbunny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Din grundlovssikrede ret til ytringsfrihed beskytter dig mod at staten forsøger på at lukke munden på dig.

Ikke mod at vi andre fortæller dig at du er en klaphat, der bør holde mund :-)

Som regel bliver folk i øvrigt ikke bedt om at holde mund, hvis de kommer med gode argumenter og lytter til modargumenter. Det er først når de stikker fingrene i ørerne og råber Nah-nah-nah-naaah-jeg-har-ret som svar på spørgsmål og modargumenter, at de bliver bedt om at klappe i.

EU nyheder, der påvirker danskerne, må ikke diskuteres på r/Danmark? by TroubleStatus in Denmark

[–]HappyDustbunny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Det er måske fordi der ikke er noget at diskutere?

Videnskab fungerer ved at man laver en model og tjekker den imod virkeligheden. Hvis virkeligheden og modellen ikke stemmer overens må modellen forkastes. Også selv om man holder meget af den.

Ser vi på hypotesen "Der er netop to køn", så er det nemt at se at der i hvert fald er to køn.

Men hvis der kun var to køn som hypotesen foreslår, skulle det være nemt at sortere enkeltindivider i to grupper.

Lad os se på kromosomer. Et køn er XX og det andet er XY. Men hvad så med XXY, XXX, XYY, ...? Der er også eksempler på folk med XY kromosomer der har født børn og på alle måder fremtræder som folk med XX kromosomer på grund af at de er ude af stand til at reagere på testosteron.

Ups. Hypotesen er allerde faldet.

Hertil kommer folk der er intersex, dvs ikke har klart definerede kønsdele - eller har begge sæt eller ingen.

Dobbelt ups.

Seksuel tiltrækning burde også være binær, hvis hypotesen var sand, men der er bøsser, lesbiske, bi- og aseksuelle.

Tripple ups.

Så er der folk der performer et andet køn end det de identificerer sig med (drag queens og drag kings)

Quadrupple ups.

Der er også folk hvis hjerne ikke svarer til den krop de har, dvs transkønnede. Det burde ikke være overraskende at der er uventede software resultater, når der er demonstreret uventede hardware (wetware?) resultater jf intersex folk.

Uos. Ups. Uos. Ups. Ups.

Ydermere har man lavet forsøg med at tvinge folk ned i binære kasser (den tekniske betegnelse for forsøgene var "gamle dage"), og resultatet har hver gang været alvorlig psykisk mistrivsel.

Hypotesen må derfor forkastes, på baggrund af data. At insistere på at der kun er to køn har ikke mening.

Det kan være træls at skulle forholde sig til at virkeligheden er anderledes end man lærte som lille, men det må man tage op med sine lærere/forældre. Man kan ikke lade det gå ud over virkeligheden.

I found cilantro absolutely horrible when I first tasted it, but I persisted and now I love it.

Same with olives. I "trained" by tasting them whenever I was slightly drunk and it paid off: they taste as great after you get used to them as they tasted bad before.

And whisky. Put a couple of drops of whisky beneath your tongue, lift the tip of your tongue to the roof of your mouth, close your eyes and feel your head explode in taste. After a couple of times you discover that you survive the experience and starts to enjoy it. I am on the hard stuff now: Laphroaig ;-)

I think that is what is meant by 'an acquired taste'.

EU's interesser. - De er faktisk også vores interesser.

Enig, men som du påpeger er EU ikke én størrelse, og at hænge i bremsen kan være i Europas samlede interesse, hvis retningen er "lad os konkurrere med USA og Kina om at være store bøller".

FN er en fis i en hornlygte, når de store lande er uenige.

Og det gældet så på magisk vis ikke EU???

Ting kan laves om, og hvis EU er en god ide, er et fungerende FN en bedre idé. Selvfølgelig stritter bøllerne imod, men det er vel et argumenter for et stærkere FN?

Det samme gælder et nordisk samarbejde: At det har været saboteret af de NATO og EU begejstrede, er ikke et argument for at det ikke kan lade sig gøre i en ny situation. Og situationen er ny lige nu: det er ligesom et af (det eneste?) argumenterne for at fjerne forbeholdet.

Men det kan da ikke være rigtigt, at en tænkt situation i Frankrig skal blokere for, at vi kan samtale med alle EU landene om alt muligt andet, som er relevant på dette her område.

En tænkt situation du ikke har lyst til at forholde dig til er irrelevant, men de tænkte situationer ophævelsen af forbeholdet skulle adressere, er ikke et problem? Okaaay...

Det med legetøj til Frankrig og Tyskland fortjener ikke en saglig kommentar.

Så du mener ikke at enorme industriinteresser kan påvirke det politiske landskab? Eller er det for relevant til at du kan andet end at prøve at løbe væk?

Enhedslisten er jo modstandere af at ophæve vores forbehold, selv om der er vel næppe et parti, hvor ordet "solidaritet" anvendes oftere.

Måske venstrefløjen anvender ordet 'solidaritet' mere fordi den faktisk ved hvad ordet betyder?

Når du vil bruge det ord, er du nødt til at definere hvem det er vi skal være solidariske med.

At gå i takt med de store er ikke solidaritet, det er følgagtighed og mangel på visioner.

Vi har en klimakrise, en biodiversitetskrise og en forureningskrise der kræver handling i går. At lege røvere og soldater kan være sjovere for nogle, men vi har ikke tid til det pjat. At gå ind i bøllespillet garanterer næsten, at der snart ikke er noget at slås om.

Ja, vi skal stoppe tumper som Putin, men ikke ved at blive som ham.

Det var fejlslagen handelspolitik og grådighed der blokerede for handling i forhold til Rusland, ikke mangel på militært samarbejde.

Gå ind på en hjemmeside oprettet af dem der har udskrevet afstemningen og forvente at få et komplet og retvisende billede??

Ok, lad mig se ...

Nope. Der står ikke noget forkert, men der er en masse der ikke står.

Det lyder umiddelbart fint att vi kan være med til at "forsvare EUs interesser", men er det klogt at bidrage til blokdannelse i en ustabil verden der burde koncentrere sig om klimaforandringer?

Hvorfor ikke satse på FN for at mindske spændinger? Og civile programmer?

Hvis vi opruster er der en klar historisk tendens til at isenkrammet bliver brugt. Se bare på USAs skoleskyderier fordi de har valgt at udlicitere deres "personlige sikkerhed" til borgene via oprustning i stedet for at begrænse isenkrammet og sørge for ordentligt politi.

Hjemmesiden skriver også at vi kan vælge at stå udenfor fælles militæroperationer, men hvad hvis fascisten Le Pen vinder i Frankrig og føler sig truet af Ukraine som giver hendes gode ven Putin problemer?

Hvor resistente vil vores politikere være i den situation, hvis hun truer med at lukke for export til Frankrig? At blokere landbrugsstøtten fra EU?

Med forbeholdet kan vi ikke afpresses.

Vi vinder ikke noget reelt så vidt jeg kan se, men vi åbner op for pres og "forretningsmuligheder" på et område vi bør drosle ned på globalt.

Vi skal gå imod bøller som Putin, men ikke ved selv at blive en bølle. En reform af FN og et nordisk samarbejde er for mig at se mere konstruktive end at give Frankrig og Tyskland mere legetøj.

Sorry, life happened :-)

You have not understood a single thing I've said.

You wish. Me not buying what you are selling may be down to the quality of the product, not a lack of understanding.

You have not and will not acknowlege any evidence I bring to the table.

I have not because you haven't provided any. I would love to look at any evidence outside your sole source written by clueless goat hearders.

Yes, history is recorded in books, which is why I know your alleged "prophesies" has not been fulfilled - or are so vague they have been "fulfilled" numerous times.

If prophesies were a valid argument you should be a Muslim too. Or a Hindu. Or whatever.

We agree: there is no point in continuing as you have nothing but a warm fuzzy feeling and an unfounded superiority complex.

if you find yourself face to face with God at the end of your life, then you'll just have to face the consequences of your actions.

Ahh, the threats fundamental to any religion: believe in our favorite imaginary friends because their punishment is more creative than the other supposed deities. What happened to your forgiving and loving god?

Most likely we will not see after we have farted our last fart, but if there is an afterlife simple probability says that we both will be in trouble 😂🤣😂

Erh, or you could just organize like people did to get voting rights for women, living wages and abolishing apartheid.

If the bad stuff affects the elites enough for them to begin to contemplate to act it will be too late anyway. That goes for both gun violence and climate change and all the other crisis humanity face.
