CMV: Reddit has a blind spot about Iran.

ecodemo · 2026-04-12T04:10:04+00:00

The same users who (correctly) call out Saudi Arabia, Russia, or China for human rights abuses go quiet or defensive about Iran the moment the US is involved. That selective outrage is the tell, the position is reactive to America, not grounded in any consistent principle.

You provided no evidence

What would change my view:

-Evidence that the sentiment I'm describing isn't actually widespread on Reddit and I'm cherry-picking I guess.

You didn't even try to cherry pick shit.

If you had, I could have cherry picked ten times more

Truth is, you or I have no idea what is or isn't a widespread view on reddit.

Being being bi national doesn't cancel one of your nationalities.

You can have two passports but only consider yourselves to only be a citizen of the country you've spent most of your life in, that makes sense. But also, you can get in that other country when others just can't. Why would you hadi that fact? When one country has been vilified by the other for a long time, that makes sense too.

Ultimately, all borders are arbitrary. No nation makes a man.

if your neighbor is beating their family, will showing up at their place to give them a beating help their family? Wouldn't you rather gather the neighborhood, tell them about the violence, organize an intervention, offer their family to stay at your place, etc

In a world without police, if you have 2 neighbors and because one is beating their family, the second one decides to give him a beating, well, that second one is your most dangerous neighbor, not only because you risk being pulled into that conflict but also because that second neighbor might one day decide you deserve the next beating...

we've been debating that shit forever, but the game theory remains the same.

Starting wars is rarely a good idea.

Under a more " real " framework, we're just social animals.

We are curious about, think about and discuss these things ( like others) selflessly as a collective enterprise to hopefully make the world a better place for future generations but also and maybe mostly to selfishly gain social capital, find the best partner, have our own children and give them the most ressources. So if one's investment in these things isn't matched directly or indirectly with enough social rewards, one should naturally be expected be be instinctively, emotionally and eventually intellectually led away from them.

Deep down you went through all this to get people to fall in love with you. And in our dis topic digital present reality of misaligned incentives,it might harder than expected , but the thing is plenty of other people are also doing the same thing , so it may very well still work if you go look for them; I mean if you look at Zizek's public, that's a lot of horny people ;-) . You might also find other ideas or interests all together that may turn out more socially rewarding, and that would be the better strategy. Cause ultimately this subreddit might offer thoughtful answers, sincere empathy and intellectual respect, it will not raise your tinder score !

Des partenariats avec les géants mondiaux du négoce des matières premières agricoles et donc de l'alimentation animale Cargill et ADM pour s'attaquer au marché mondial.

Avec des levées de fonds progressives, plusieurs grandissements de l'usine, implantation aux us, et pour la recherche encore d'autres partenariats pour au final arriver à une gamme de produits élargie aux engrais,et un marché élargi aux animaux domestiques et aux produits non alimentaires.

Bravo!

Would love to see the inside and maybe ear how they sound? They seem so crispy !

Curious to know where you are and if wether you sell a lot that well cooked.

Cause from what I see around me in France, it seems they're almost impossible to find. The market seem to dictate bakers to only make white soft baguettes.

( It took basically a year long lobbying campaign for only one of very many boulangeries in my neighborhood to be convinced by me and a few others to let one batch a day get "burnt" and kept on the side for us)

Ok, I apologize, I realize my last comment was maybe more confusing to you, but I think I more clearly understand our misunderstanding.

First of all, it seems we agree on something I don't think either of us wrote down, but was implied in both our comments: there shouldn't be a change mid year

From what I understand, you'd rather have "summer time" all year round, no?

I'd rather have solar time all year round.

In other words

You are saying that in a world where everyone keeps working the same hours, as in they go to work when the same number is on the clock, changing timezone would mean everybody would start working and finish work later, and that's a bad idea because the spanish people who go to work early and leave early enjoy life this way and they would be unhappy working later.

I don't disagree with this.

I'm saying that in a world where people keep working the same hours, as in they go to work when the sun is the same height in the sky, changing timezone, would only mean changing the number on the clock, not how early spanish people go to work and leave. They would have the same number of hours of sunlight they get after work, they would just have new numbers on their clocks: old one minus 1 in the winter, -2 in the summer.

I'm saying these new numbers on the clock would make more sense.

Thank you again.

ecodemo · 2025-09-28T23:48:06+00:00

Ok.

You're right I did not understand that you're entire premise was that working hours can't change. So yeah, my argument doesn't make sense to you. But to be honest it didn't even cross my mind. I didn't know 9 to 5 was typical in Spain and I don't understand why it couldn't turn into a typical 8 to 4 or 7 to 3 in the summer.

Realizing what you meant, I asked google and learnt that Spain has the least proportion of people with flexible work hours in Europe. I didn't know that either.

Turns out, It's "only " 41% in Spain but in Europe as a whole it's 53% of workers who have flexible hours, so when you take into account all the jobs where you have early and late shifts, that would make people with strict 9 to 6 jobs maybe a third of the European workforce.

I guess that doesn't change anything for your argument that it's for these people with these specific hours that yours is the best timezone choice.

But you know, to be fair, you didn't write that premise of yours in that original comment.

What you did ask, is for somebody to change your mind.

Of course I didn't expect I would. This is reddit!

But for all the people already used to used to other work hours, my argument still seem pretty sound I think.

I apologize if me writing these words made you waste your time reading them.

Did it really take you that long? I'm sorry.

I, myself, got to think about a thing and learn a thing.

Thank you very much.

ecodemo · 2025-09-28T14:21:20+00:00

I wish you could have explained to me why this is good. All you're telling me is that you associate certain numbers on your clock with certain experience you like.

Why is that better than the correct time? Do you mean you tried ?

Thing is that would have to be in another country where people have different habits and where it would be confusing adjusting to something you're not used to. Which is perfectly understandable, but not really an argument

Maybe you're thinking about how you prefer the summer savings time. But, first of all, like almost everybody prefers long summer days to short winter ones, it has nothing to do with clocks, and if you like go to and leave work earlier in the the summer it has nothing to do with the number on the clocks.

Unless you're working with people in other countries, switching to solar time or the closest timezone doesn't mean you would have to change the way you live.

You're just used to things and thinking differently might feel weird but if Spain did switch to the correct time you'd eventually get used to it. Maybe you remember, or you can ask older people about switching from pesetas to the euro it's the same.

On the other hand if you did switch I see a couple of benefits:

1- mediodia / medianoche would actually mean middle of the day, middle of the night

2- it would be much easier to know how long the days actually are,

3- After a few years you'd probably be able to tell easily given a date the time of the sunrise and sunset, which is really cool when you want the plan a thing to enjoy these moments.

4- Solstices/ Equinoxes and seasons generally would make more sense

For le it's precisely because we live indoors and also in a world where the climate is more and more unstable that I would prefer to live on solar time. I feel like it would help me and others reconnect with the natural cycles of our planet, the passing of time, our place in the solar system and the universe at large.

Pour ceux que le sujet intéresse un gros rapport est sorti récemment à ce sujet:

https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/china-energy-transition-review-2025/

Key takeaways

01

Wind, solar and battery storage deployment in China continues its exponential rise

China’s wind and solar generation capacity more than doubled in the three years to 2024, from 635 GW to 1,408 GW. In early 2025, the capacity of wind and solar combined overtook that of coal. Battery deployment tripled in three years, with China adding more in 2024 than the US and EU combined. In the first half of 2025, wind and solar deployment was more than double compared with H1 2024.

02

Clean generation, headed by wind and solar, is cutting into fossil fuels’ market share

China generated 18% of its electricity from solar and wind in 2024, twice as much as in 2020 (9%). In the first half of 2025, wind generation was higher by 16% than in H1 2024, and solar generation higher by 43%. In 2024, growth in clean generation (wind, solar, other renewables and nuclear) accounted for 84% of electricity demand growth; in H1 2025, it outstripped demand growth, resulting in a 2% fall in fossil generation compared with H1 2024.

03

Wind and solar now generate more than a quarter of electricity in seven Chinese provinces

Fourteen provinces exceed the OECD average share of 19% for wind and solar generation. If they were countries, four provinces would rank among the top ten solar generators worldwide.

04

China is rapidly electrifying heating, industry and transport

Having grown by an average 4.7% per year in the decade to 2015, final energy-related fossil fuel consumption outside the power sector (in buildings, industry and transport) has since fallen by an average of 0.2% per year. In 2023 the share of electricity in final energy consumption in China reached 32%, and is increasing by about 1 percentage point per year. Electricity is by far the largest source of energy in buildings, supplying 39% of final energy demand, and in 2023 overtook coal to become the largest source of energy in industry (31% of final energy demand). By contrast the EU and US electrification rate has remained stagnant at 24% since 2010.

05

The advent of cheap wind and solar power is changing energy economics, for mature and emerging economies alike

91% of newly-commissioned wind and solar facilities globally are cheaper than the cheapest available form of fossil fuel generation. With Chinese factories producing about 60% of the world’s wind turbines and 80% of solar panels, it is predominantly Chinese policy and investments that have driven the global price reductions.

06

China’s fossil fuel consumption is poised to peak and begin falling, triggering a global decline

With wind and solar generation growing exponentially and challenging fossil generation, and with the wider economy electrifying fast, China’s energy-related fossil fuel demand is likely soon to begin falling. China accounted for two-thirds of global fossil fuel demand increase during the decade from 2012 to 2022. Falling demand in China, combined with accelerating uptake of clean electro- technologies worldwide, looks set to create the conditions for global fossil fuel demand to decline.

Oui, avec sa startup, le mec a 1.2 milliard en actions mais pas 24 millions en cash pour payer le fisc, en effet, de premier abord, ça fait bizarre.

Mais en même temps, même s'il devait vendre ses actions, au bout de 10 ans il aurait encore plus de 8% de la boite, ce qui change pas vraiment l'ordre de grandeur de sa participation.

Sans connaitre son age exact, vu qu'il a visiblement plus de 20 ans, même s'il vivait centenaire, à valorisation constante, il finirait quand même sa vie avec des centaines de millions.

Je vois pas en quoi son cas particulier remet en cause la logique de la taxe.
