If we would have limitless energy, one decentralized currency would not be so bad in theory. But since our energy is limited, a centralized system makes much more sense. And yes the new creation of a new crypto by any organization, person or company is dodgy thing.

Spain is also super hot. So just install in public buildings aircons that just run when there is to much energy in the grid? Desalination plant that run when there is to much energy or in worst case run a few bitcoin servers. You will quickly realize you need more energy.

I am not sure of assholes. I think they distribute evenly across all nations. On the other side those countries tend to be specifically nationalistic. Russia would also go in this cluster, but it is much more seldom to meet Russians these days in Europe or the US. I just want to add that India has the huge advantage that a lot of people can speak some kind of English. Most with a strong accent, but the percentage of English speaking Indians is very high compared to china, Korea, Japan.

I actually had to buy a new dishwasher and in Germany every dishwasher has to be set to economical cleaning mode as default. That being said there is also a fast mode, but you have to use special tabs that dissolve fast enough. Otherwise they will not dissolve fully during the washing stage and then the stuff would be stuck in the dishwasher after drying and it might seriously reduce lifetime of seals etc. So be careful with short washing programs on modern dishwashers!

Ah never thought about this origin. So Nazi means basically someone who supports Socialistic Nationalism, no matter for which country? ! Did not think about this but it makes sense.

But what is a Nazi? I thought someone who praises or follows the idea and ideology of Hitler Germany. So if someone says „ah this sounds too much like hitler or what is closest followers would say, therefore I dislike it“ can you then really call them a nazi? If someone think „this is to German“ can you be a nazi? After all Nazis where also German ultra nationalists, who think people who are not German are of less worthy. So since other nationalistic parties follow this ideology, but just replace Germany by their own country, I think Ultra nationalists is better fitting. You would also not say Japanese Nazis or Thailand Nazis. Or if you would say Argentinia Nazis, people who know should understand something very different.

Not sure if we should call them Nazi, as they kicked out the German Nazis, as explained in other comments. Maybe call them nationalists or ultra nationalists?

And it is not only Putin who loves this. Other Dictators also love to see the rise of extremists in Europe.

I did not say that it is not. I just fear that even if both sides would be atheists, the persons in charge would continue to keep up their aggressive and gruel behavior. Just because it suppresses empathy for the humans on the other side. But yea religion is a wonderful tool to fuel hate and convey totally absurd messages.

Great now Putin will simply publish made up numbers again next time. So much investment and just like to destroy everything…

The banner saga. I never liked turn based games, but this one is a banger.
