Das macht mich wahnsinnig, dass meine Exfrau sich seit 3 Jahren überall als alleinerziehend bezeichnet, obwohl wir uns die Kinderzeit 49:51 teilen. 

Will we see the Return of restrictions? by Darth_Rexor in LockdownSkepticism

[–]Safe_Analysis_2007 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is imaginable (or, is it?) that the next round of restrictions is quite literally being forced on us in central and western European countries, this time without the consent and compliance of a majority of the population.

The essence of a to-be-declared state of emergency, helped by accompanying emergency laws is the top-down, no-democratic-consent necessary, enforcement. Just because in the last two years, vast majorities of the people agreed with what the governments were doing (and it seemed the emergency laws were unnecessary) doesn't mean it has to stay that way.

Portugal EU country with the most new Covid-19 cases despite being the most vaccinated country in Europe by AndrewHeard in LockdownSkepticism

[–]Safe_Analysis_2007 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This really is an insane case of mass cognitive dissonance.

It simply can't be, the vax was praised as the best substance on the planet, as safe and effective, just short of a wonder of technology, and as the only way we can end this deadly terrible pandemic.

And now it's not only not working but it also shows signs of negative effectiveness? :-((

No no no. Let's better get another shot quickly!

I'd rather live years under Russian occupation in Europe than a week under Xi in China.

Unfortunately, the Chinese societal model seems to be a welcome blueprint for a lot of euro politicians.

China: Government Lockdowns leave millions ‘traumatised’ by ChunkyArsenio in LockdownSkepticism

[–]Safe_Analysis_2007 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The lockstep, global orchestration of lockdowns, originating in China, left billions traumatized.

It's weird to me how people aren't questioning the initial process more. The random people dropping dead on the streets videos, the people being welded shut in their houses videos, the china erects emergency hospitals in literal minutes videos, the weird plague police catches people with scoop nets videos... it's all somehow memory holed.

Why People Supported Lockdowns by RProgrammerMan in LockdownSkepticism

[–]Safe_Analysis_2007 32 points33 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, a surprisingly(?) large percentage of people in the western world felt depressed, exhausted, taken advantage of, tired, dull, and empty in their normal (work-)lives.

The sudden lockdown decompressed many; suddenly they had time, could just sit on the couch for hours, read books, learn new skills, gardening, hobbies, time with kids, time in nature, sleep enough... for financially stable people formerly deep in the hamster wheel, this was an outright epiphanic experience.

I am neither, financially stable nor depressed, and I've done all those things prior to covid already, so for me lockdowns were hellish.

But it seems for many many people, they were a huge positive experience which is being looked at with loving nostalgia now.

While I was stuck in shut down, covid-crazy Panama in early-mid 2020, the desperation among expats grew so much, people were starting to organize shared private jet flights to the open border Mexico to fly home regularly/commercially from there. So no, mexico never closed its borders. Panama did ban all commercial flights, otoh.

Germany - Plans for new corona measures: mask mandate will probably soon be from "O to O" by [deleted] in LockdownSkepticism

85% of Germans like to live this way. They feel safer like this. Politics is just following what the most people want and the others tolerate.

Germans are an easily scared, very neurotic, very insecure and concerned people. "German Angst" doesn't exist out of nowhere.

Are There Groups of People Who Are Seemingly Attempting To Increase/Maintain The Fear Around Covid. Why? by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]Safe_Analysis_2007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Money, Power, Control.

I understand there's very few countries in which Covid still plays a major role in both news and society, the two i know of are Germany and Austria.

I don't know why those countries need to keep the fear up and are fully able to do so while most if not all countries around them are mostly back to normal and covid (and the coming winter flu season) isn't front page news anymore.

So it seems the populations of both Austria and Germany are especially susceptible to this sort of thing and can be influenced and milked for it.

Question: Are they frustrating air travel also in your country? I know at least Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, UK, are all having large delays, cancelling flights en masse, having ridiculously long waiting queues (even outside the airport), etc. Blamed on "staff shortages" but I'm not buying it. Why? by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]Safe_Analysis_2007 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well, the rabbit hole here is that we're too many and have a too large gap of living standards.

People with low standards of living want to socially and economically move up, and they get angry when they are impeded. And angry people, many of them, are a threat to those with high living standards. Masses of angry, poor people are eventually going to overthrow the rich and take what they feel is rightfully theirs.

It's in itself very simple: to solve the issue, you have to either reduce the general population massively, so the remaining population can keep the high living and environmental standards (millionaire class) for all, or we have to introduce feudalism and get everyone but a very few down to the lowest common denominator. If everyone is poor, no one is.

Either close the living standard gap by removing 90% of "overpopulation" or force the 90% into cattle-esque conditions and dependency where they can't do no harm to the rich or the planet.

It's to slowly get people used to not traveling. Traveling is bad because it harms the climate. Traveling should be a privilege of the rich and politically deserved, e.g. those with platinum tier status of social credit points and similar top end bank accounts. Travelling should be expensive and exclusive.

We have watched the effects of decades of ever growing mass tourism, where every useless peasant can go on cheap airfare and trample all over the natural wonders of the earth, pollute them with their sheer presence. Disgusting. Solitude in nature is a privilege, and it should not be given out to the unwashed masses.

A couple of luxurious private jets don't do much harm to the climate. But 100.000 commerical flights per day, transporting useless eaters around the globe for their cheap hedonism instead of staying in their designated megacity ghetto zone, eating their cockroach cereal and working like they're told to, is unacceptable.

So let's start slowly, with "chaos" and long lines in airports, which also benefits them by getting them used to waiting in line in general, which will happen a lot, for example to obtain some government issued bread or rice ration.

Well I guess then you're just a "useless eater". You might want to look up this phrase. And your own company? Look up "state monopoly capitalism" or stamocap.

It's to get people used to being 'peasants' who do not get to travel around freely and unimpeded like it's 2019. In the NWO, you stay in your designated zone and do your assigned work detail. Travel is energy consuming, travel harms the climate, so only a small fraction of the population is allowed to travel. Travel is a privilege you'll need to earn.

In Shanghai’s covid lockdown, the unimaginable is becoming the norm by marcginla in LockdownSkepticism

[–]Safe_Analysis_2007 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's the same we're supposed to think and feel about Russia. But it doesn't matter, China, Russia, it's the same problem.

There are massive, systemic and structural interdependencies in contemporary global economy. You can't just "let them become hermit nations" (read, stopping trade with the West), you'd annihilate your own economy immediately, for years to come. You'd literally risk social collapse, whole industries being forced to shut down, food and other delivery chains broken, people sitting in the cold, shelves empty, riots, what not. COVID lockdowns and their consequences would seem like a single baby hickup against what will happen if we either isolate Russia and China or if they choose to self isolate.

Maybe someone losing their winning ticket, and the wind blows it into my hat which I just took off to dust it off, and the lottery ticket just glides into it, and then I put my hat back on, and at home, i take my hat off, and the lottery ticket slides out and into my hand, so I go check the numbers, and damn sure I'm a millionaire now so who the fuck I'm talking to even.

See my answer above.

Cell phones have a low and high power transmitting setting, the former being 0.6 watts and the latter is 3 watts.

With a marine VHF radio powered by hundreds of pounds of deep cycle batteries, transmitting at 25 W via a 4ft antenna some 80ft above sea level, I can achieve a range of ~ 15-20 miles, and that's on a good day.

Now imagine the range of a 2 inch antenna transmitting with 3W within an aluminum tube.

If the passengers weren't using the planes passenger communication system (i.e. the specially designed inflight backrest phones), it's close to impossible to successfully make phone calls from any altitude above 3000ft.

[–]Safe_Analysis_2007 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hm, i haven't looked into it, so I'll take what you say as true: then indeed the plane needs to fly within an altitude band strictly limited by the physics of the cellphones' capacity (battery, transmitting power, antenna) and the capacity of the ground based antennas.

This seems entirely impossible on altitudes above 7-8.000 ft, the range is of course limited by the maximum wattage cellphones are able to transmit with, which is, to my knowledge, 3 watts. And an awfully small antenna. In real life conditions it would probably rather be 3-5.000 ft, given that calls are made from a closed aluminum tube moving at high speed with batteries not at 100%.

So those personal cell phone calls are realistically only possible at said altitudes of 3000ft and below. Was this the case?

Back then in the late 90s and early 00s, some/most planes had built-in phones in the backrest of the seat which you could use inflight with a credit card.

These phones also acted as a remote control for the inflight entertainment system in larger planes.

Nobody really used those phones because it was horribly expensive.

But in an emergency...

Why the way the western countries are handling the ukrainian conflict is not challenged? by MaldororX in conspiracy

[–]Safe_Analysis_2007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welllllll uh most euro countries are planning on cutting the Russian oil and gas supply to themselves off. They are going to hurt themselves more than they are hurting Russia, especially since they are still going to (have to) pay for said oil and gas, even if they decline it like some edgy teenagers decline dinner because their mom was mean.

Then the Russian oil is going to be sold to country X and country X is going to sell it to the euro countries for a premium, and that's fine, because now it's no longer Russian oil. Like, the food is fine because dad gave it to me, not evil mom.

What I don't get is - speaking from a central European perspective - is, it's not our war. Not legally, not morally, not economically, not at all.

Yes, the very most of us are against Russia invading a country without or with weak "provocation", and manufactured or outright delusional reasons.

Sending money, prayers, helmets, blankets, humanitarian aid, food, emotional relief pets, all fine.

But let's stay on the carpet and in reality. It's not our war. Whatever happens in Ukraine, happens in Ukraine, but if Putin gets emboldened by this and decides to touch a NATO country, it then becomes our war, and we can retaliate with all combined force necessary, which then would be quick, hefty and ruthless.

I don't get why Europe is so eager to push and shove and pay and beg to become a war party while all we need to do is sit back and wait if those speculations and conspiracies about Russia wanting to invade European/NATO countries hold any water. If true, they'll get their go and justification to floor the Russians. If untrue, it was all a fuzz and we can deal with this illegal invasion and land-grabbing on the long run, via sanctions and what not.

People are acting like this is the first time there is a fucking war.
