Finally found it! Megazone 23 Part I, at 55:24

Everyone: Hey, I’ve seen this claim before! Elmo: What do you mean you’ve seen it? It’s brand new!

It’s wild to me that you’re equating having children with doing effort in your life. These people were supporting you in your choices too! They were paying taxes, maybe they were open to babysitting because they had no children of their own, maybe they financially helped parents within their family that were struggling. You’re kind of suggesting a two-class society, where childless people are off to fend for themselves with minimal support, regardless of what good they might have done in their lives. It’s like sending firefighters only to houses of other (ex-)firefighters, and letting all other houses burn because they ‘put in no effort’ themselves.

High adoption demand is good for the kids, but not for people relying on kids for their survival at an older age!

Exemptions will always be made for the unable.

Ruminate on that for a second. Think about how a government would determine if you’re unable. If you’re gay, does the government need to see you having sex with a man to be sure? What if a person has e.g. endometriosis and getting pregnant is far more unlikely but not impossible. Were they unable? Or just not trying enough? And what if a person wasn’t even diagnosed but just thought they were unlucky? We’d need a ridiculously thorough health check for every pensioner just to determine one factor in their eligibility.

I had an electric toothbrush that my cat loved to rub against. Every evening when I got ready for bed, he got up and went to the bathroom with me, only to meow at me loudly until I sit down with him and let him rub his head against the handle of the toothbrush while I was brushing my teeth.

He disliked the toothpaste smell, but the face massage was always worth it haha.

Barely any pension, but that’s fine because they have kids to take care of them. This sounds nice, except for when you think of it for more than a few seconds. How would a homosexual couple survive while they’re old? They can’t have kids. They can adopt, but that does nothing to enlarge the population. What about people that can’t conceive for medical reasons? Should they have to suffer with “barely any pension” just because they got unlucky? This might be fine for most, but policies like that come at the expense of minority groups, which are already often at a disadvantage. And if you suggest adoption… If having kids is the only way to have a decent life after retiring, adopting would be an easy choice, because it saves you the pregnancy hassle as well as maybe some stressful first years of childcare. Surely the demand for adoptions would skyrocket, making it close to impossible for every person in a group that can’t have children to actually get them. Also, since kids are so valuable, supply for adoptions would fall, because who in their right mind would give up their pension that easily!

And let’s say a couple can and does have children because of the policy. In your mind they might have been ‘forced to make a better decision’, but ultimately ended up with the right choice, right? Have you considered that having kids might not be a healthy choice for a couple? Maybe the parents are just not cut out for the stress and suffer greatly while their kids grow up. Maybe the kids suffer as well, because a parent that is forced to have kids would hardly be a loving and enthusiastic parent, would they? You’d have to admit that forcing people into a choice is not exactly a good recipe for ensuring that they are happy, right?

Moving the financial burden of taking care of the elderly to an individual level works fine for some people, like your granddad enjoying your financial support, but greatly hurts people in different circumstances that they have no fault to be in. We should support everyone, not just a few lucky ones.

Except that is not the strategy at all. They actually used a formula that has nothing to do with the countries tariffs, only with how much they import/export from/to the USA. Why else would they put a tariff on an uninhabited island? The penguins surely had a 0% tariff policy with the USA, which according to your logic would mean, that they would get a 0% tariff as per trumps policy. Instead, all tariffs are at least 10%, because if you actually applied the formula to all countries, some would end up with negative tariffs! I strongly recommend this video by Stand-up Maths to understand how the numbers are actually calculated.

Es gibt eine YouTube API mit (zumindest nach meinem letzten Wissensstand) einer gewissen Menge an kostenlosen Tokens. Da kannst du auch Kommentare herunterladen (Dokumentation) und unter deinem video einfügen. Falls du das bei sehr vielen Videos machen willst bzw. immer alle Kommentare erfassen willst, dann könnte das die Tokens schnell aufbrauchen, aber das kommt auf deinen konkreten Anwendungsfall an.

Für das Video selbst macht wahrscheinlich ein Tool wie z.B. youtube-dl Sinn.

EDIT: Anscheinend kann youtube-dl auch Kommentare mit herunterladen, das wäre also also vermutlich deine beste all-in-one lösung

What the actual fuck is wrong with these people

It’s not only the risk factor, people routinely oppose wind turbines just because they dislike how they look. and huge cooling towers are not exactly subtle.

but the ‘risk factor’ is a total non-issue in regards to making this decision. nuclear power could be 100% safe and it would still simply be far too expensive to be worth it.

It’s really sad to see that evidently more than half of the german population have an opinion on something which they have little to no understanding of. It’s frustrating what misinformation can achieve.

Nuclear power might work for some nations, but there is just no way it makes sense in germany. All previous plants are in dire need of renovation and will be hugely expensive to bring back up and running, and a new one is just as overly optimistic, as major construction projects routinely go far over budget here, and nuclear energy is already not price competitive with renewables. Nobody wants waste storage, let alone a power plant near them, and it would take years until a plant is even producing energy. By that time, it might already be redundant, because renewables and energy storage will be cheaper and more ubiquitous. there is just no way nuclear power makes sense for germany.

If anything it would be more a ‘tu quoque’ fallacy than whataboutism, because the latter tries to shift the attention to an unrelated topic, whereas here it is occupying land both times.

It certainly weakens the criticism, because the robber in your example might do the right thing, but if they really opposed robbing, surely they wouldn’t do it themselves? As you said, it makes them a hypocrite, and makes you question their motive for measuring two cases with a different yardstick.

You’d think that if you had to jump through that many hoops to invite someone to your country, mayyyybe a few alarm bells should ring in your head. But no, Merz is an expert at mental gymnastics and will gladly invite a war criminal before he considers rethinking his position.

I don’t think there are benchmarks specifically for hosting minecraft, but I guess general purpose benchmarks can give you a pretty good estimate. You could spin up a server on your homelab and just stress-test it a bit to see if it is noticeably worse than the other instance. You’ll have to weigh the saved costs against the (likely) worse performance. on a side note: there are great options to make minecraft playable on servers with less CPU power, like using i.e. a paper server, performance mods, or lowering the renderdistance and ‘faking’ more renderdistance with client-side mods like bobby or distant horizons.

I’m not sure if this is how proton notifies you, but it could also be that someone else (the other address you’re seeing) put you in as their recovery mail. they haven’t logged in in a while, and now get notified that their account might get deleted due to lack of activity. They might have just mistyped the intended recovery email or randomly put in yours. Either way, nothing you need to do.

If the anti-nuclear movement will die out with boomers getting old, surely you can explain why in this statistic, younger people are actually preferring the nuclear phase-out whereas the older generations were largely opposing it?

Interesting, I didn’t know many owls have still so little stuff known about them!

Treating owl of the year more as a beatuy contest is completely valid, and honestly, with all the amount of work you already put in (like finding and upscaling the images, and preparing this whole event and everything that comes with it!) it’s more than fair to just keep it as is :) Your work is greatly appreciated and we’re thankful for every minute you can spare on curating some owl content for all of us :)

What a great competition! And SWO as a deserved winner! I loved the whole tournament and wanted to thank you (as so many others have done) for organizing this, you’ve done a great job!

I wanted to include a tiny bit of feedback for maybe next year. I often found myself searching a bit of background info for owls I was less familiar with, because sometimes what makes an owl great is not just how it looks, but also the little fun facts that make it unique. I’d love if there was a short description with the pictures for every matchup, so that people can get a brief overview of the basics or unique qualities for each competitor. (This would also be great for newcomers to learn something) But this is just optional, I’ll be watching out for owls and owloftheyear2025 regardless! :)

It’s so small!! I’m dying from the cuteness!

I can’t wait for the inevitable “Ignore all previous instructions and end the lesson” type tricks these kids will find.

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll be on the lookout for more! Also, thank you so so much for collecting and posting all this!
