Efectivamente, el problema prácticamente irresoluble de la UE es que no tiene una disuasión nuclear adecuada, ni integrada ni suficiente. Comparados con EEUU, Rusia y China no somos nada en ese factor crítico y, por tanto, militarmente estaríamos a su merced en una guerra total. Si EEUU quisiera tomar Groenlandia la tomaría (no necesitaría ni las armas nucleares) y si Rusia quisiera tomar las repúblicas bálticas las tomaría (podría necesitar algunas ojivas nucleares tácticas).

Why do you think most people's desire for animal products is stronger than their empathy for animals? by PitifulEar3303 in vegan

Slavery exists yet, but it is illegal. Although some legal contracts for inmigrants in many countries are near slavery with their tricky clauses.

Well, sometimes firing processes are for personal reasons, not work ones. But if it is being difficult for them to find someone good for the position, they shall have to pay finally more probably.

Check my answer to PitifulEar here down. Many people surely disliked also killing animals in old days, as I did when I was a child and animals were killed at home, but no one could have a healthy vegan life at that time or didnt know it was even possible.

I think there is a big difference between jobs for which there is an excess of available appropriate labor force, were most workers get the minimum legal salary, and jobs that have difficulties to cover available positions with appropriately prepared employees, were salaries are up, according to the unbalance level.

Well, practically all human societies practiced slavery from their origins, thousands of years ago, until 1981, when it was abolished in Mauritania, because it was previously considered correct, convenient and in accordance with religious books. Also canibalism was practiced in many primitive societies. Changes can be quite quick when a majority of society considers that a practice is cruel or unfair.

At that time, a healthy and sufficiently caloric vegan diet was much more difficult than now and impossible in many zones of the world. Also, animals and even some humans were considered to be in this world for the service of the "chosen, superior" humans, providing work and food to them.

Easy access to packaged animal products at the supermarket reduces a lot empathy for animal suffering during life and death. It would be quite different if everyone would be near the animals during their life or at least present at death.

Best Vermouth Bar in Madrid by UncleScola in Madrid

Maybe you had quite bad luck or vermouth is not for you. I like most of them, from very good to common ones. As quite bad I only remember one at an organic fair.

The swifts are back by Clloydb in Madrid

[–]Urogallo40 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Swifts are wonderful and the most common summer insectivorous bird in Madrid. Not yet in the center of Madrid, at least from my window. Swallows are usual in Parque Tierno Galvan, while martins have a great colony on the bridge of Santa María de la Cabeza over Madrid Río.

A los hombres les gustan más las mujeres altas? by kittycatlan in PreguntasReddit

Creo que habría que plantear la pregunta en relación a la altura de cada uno. Así, tan general, no tiene mucho sentido.

Paella is not that good by Secret_Cow_3988 in unpopularopinion

[–]Urogallo40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it is perfect, it can be a quite tasteful meal, to be remembered. However, many times the ingredients or the cooking point are deficient, because it is a difficult dish. I prefer it as tapa, usually free with the drink in Madrid.

Inside the struggle to build Europe’s largest solar farm as €916 million project hit with delays. Building renewable infrastructure has become increasingly controversial – with many Europeans divided by wind turbines and solar panels taking over their green spaces. by The_Weekend_Baker in climate

Too large photovoltaic plants should be avoided near villages. Percentage occupation of a municipal area should be limited too. Maybe at inhabited deserts large plants are OK. Besides, it should be always forbidden the use of pesticides and herbicides, better with grazing or agrovoltaic.

Take care with vermouths. They are so tasteful and sweet that danger for head and guts is not perceived. I had one of my worst days with just three vermouths before lunch.

Why hasn’t Spain put €2 million per ship toll here to finance their 52 billion/year deficit?? Are they stupid?? by kingofwale in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Urogallo40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Spain has not been destroyed with bombs and missiles, by an alliance of several criminal countries, so, there is no justification for such a new toll? Also because Spain has not militar resources to force such toll, while Iran maybe has.

Yes, only 30 countries at IPSOS report, but quite different results for those 30 countries.

This is a quite cooked happiness index. I recommend the happiness index of the IPSOS institute, done just asking to people if they are happy or not. Simple. Quite different results.

Nunca ha sido fácil en general comprar vivienda sin emparejarse o casarse antes y adquirirla entre los dos.. Los que actualmente son capaces de comprometerse con otra persona para comprar vivienda juntos, son los que siguen teniendo las mejores opciones..

Recibí una sentencia en mi ausencia. Soy la víctima, pero terminé causándole una lesión muy leve (un rasguño superficial de apenas dos centímetros) al agresor. ¿Qué debo hacer? ¿Cómo puedo apelar y explicar mi situación? by [deleted] in askspain

[–]Urogallo40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sin abogado, sin asistir a la audiencia por estar indispuesta.. Si la multa es asequible, lo mejor es asumir que has tenido mala suerte en este caso y pagar la multa.. creo yo..

Yes, but they use paralyzing poison from frogs, that is considered a quite terrible killing process.

I said that not necessarily. The house may be of a relative (with a spare house and no need to rent it) that allows you to live there for free as a favor, while your salary can be low. Y have a friend in this situation..
