At least in Germany, there is no winter time. There is normal time (Normalzeit) and summer time (Sommerzeit).

Man, this tiktokification just needs to die.

They still scam artists and support war drone manufacturers.

Nothing is produced in 8K either.

As more countries within the EU shift to right wing governments, the EU as a political body itself will also shift more to the right.

The religion of technology was something that I especially enjoyed in the books. There were many highlights that Goyer chose to ignore.

Oh, Bundespräsident*in. Sorry, brainfart.

Man, I thought we reached bottom with Olaf Scholz, now Merz and 2027 von der Leyen? Can we please get at least some semblance of progressive left politics back?

EU: How often do I have to teach you, old man?

The core concept of the books was, that Hari could predict the future of societies in really broad strokes. Essentially how masses behave in certain situations. In order to actually make the gamble, he forced a situation where he put a group of people that could only behave in a certain way because they were lacking resources.

But, in all of the books it’s quite clear that Hari couldn’t make predictions for single people within a group, because there’re too many variables (Asimov even created an example where Hari deliberately predicted the choices of a single person that exists in the present, and why that doesn’t work for other purposes).

In the books, Hari cannot make any decisions for other people, because the solution can only come from those people (though because he setup the foundation colony like he did, the outcome was always predestined).

In the show, they don’t care about the core concept. In the first season they show how psycho history is supposed to work, and partially adhere to it, but soon ignore all the limitations that it should have. It’s like Hari plays those 1000 years on a musical instrument, manipulating people and situations. He tell’s people the solution to the problem. He (because he’s an AI) constantly interferes. That’s not the idea of the core story.

Imagine it like this, in the books, a “creator” setup the world in a way where people can still make individual decisions, but only in a way that leads to a predestined outcome. Personal choices may lead to a different way to the outcome (see the mule), but in the end, it’ll always come to the intended solution.

The show just has an omnipotent god that is reborn and moves people like chess pieces, constantly adapting to changing situations.

And Nazis still get free public promotion via ARD Sommertalk 😔

Besides the shift to mercury mining others have already listed, you really think that this process is cheaper than mining gold and also cleaner and safer at the same time?

Also add Peter Thiel owned businesses ;)

It’s not about “but there are other EU states around Germany where they can apply”. The immoral thing is to turn them away without a proper asylum procedure. And if you look at the numbers, there isn’t really any sort of crisis that would warrant such an extreme resolution. https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/76095/umfrage/asylantraege-insgesamt-in-deutschland-seit-1995/

When the law is immoral, ignoring the law is the right thing to do. Turning away asylum seekers at the border is immoral and probably also violates EU law. Which the fucktard Dobrint already knew. Because he is a fucktard and also fucked up the Autobahn Maut back then and he also knew that it was probably not legal back then, too.

Isn’t Canonical up to some crummy schemes, too?

If I understand this correctly, then this restriction only applies to Turkey. Which is exactly what you’d expect. If you violate local laws, then there are local restrictions. On a global level, everyone else can still interact with you.

Have I understood this correctly?
