@realDenSch@illnevercallitx Windräder in Bayern werden nie für günstigen Strom sorgen, dafür hat Bayern nicht die Natur. Günstigen Strom kriegt man hier nur durch gute Anbindung an Orte die entsprechende Natur haben.
@lizisamused Statement one is a positive statement and 2 a negative one. They represent different types of people, but statement 1 could be formulated negatively and 2 positively and still single people would agree to 1 and married to 2.
@selentelechia@aliceisplaying It's impossible to predict the future, so if the choices of the past led to a bad outcome, that doesn't mean they were bad choices. Many great people led the foundational work for stuff they actually didn't want to happen because they couldn't see 100 years in the future.
@TheEcho13 In the described case, I think dating apps are the 'problem'. It's just a 'market' where there are more men, so an average man cannot expect an average woman there. If he went to a book club or studied a female-leaning field, the same man would find plenty of interested women.
@JeffAnderson_ If the Asian and black applicants were equally capable, and if only Americans could apply, then yes, these numbers would indicate black discrimination. They can also just indicate that more competent Asians are applying, or that Asians are better at whatever they're looking for
@Alejandro_DPG@danilodvnz@EveKeneinan Your picture are the priests in the story. The oracle is the scientific method. If you have the resources and knowledge to do a scientific study yourself on any topic, you will find out truth. The scientific method works, even though some scientists are twisting the results
@Steve__Paxton It's not that 12k is not enough to live luxuriously, but that it is not enough to be competitive, when other companies offer them 25k. This is about jobs that are very specific and require very specific highly skilled people, like CEOs or soccer players or really good engineers
@mayukh_panja He doesn't follow through enough to please the people who want to cut red tape and make Germany business friendly, but he always claims that's what he wants, so he is also disliked by the people who don't want to make Germany business friendly
@KKrigskriminell@RockChartrand If you rob people and then use the money to buy cotton, that would indeed not be slavery. What makes this not slavery is, that the one providing the labour is doing it voluntarily, and the one forced to pay is also choosing voluntarily how they get the money.
@INTPhilosopher@MadelaineLucyH@_nomadic_soul Generally it's more polite to assume knowledge in someone else. E.g. If someone doesn't listen to metal, it's polite to ask if they know a certain band, but if they say they listen to metal, it would be more polite to ask ' what do you think of X?' instead of 'do you know x?'
@johannesmkx But there were civilisations during that time of which we know what they did and therefore that those years happened, e.g. the byzantines would
@cremieuxrecueil Isn't that just a rational time use? If your working time is priced lower (i.e. you earn less), waiting a longer time on stuff makes more sense. If your working time is priced higher, it is more rational to spend money to shorten the wait
@mkmccarty3@MYTHOTROPOS Actually it depends on the price and the lead level, less is not always better, especially not if the levels are already safe and lowering will increase the price
@TheManlet_King Walmart makes a profit of 20 billion a year, which would be like 10k per year and employee. Not 75% but actually a significant amount of money
