  • Bernie Would Have Won. Seriously.

  • The Biden/Harris administration just declared, that their "red-line" for more weapons to Israel, the continued starvation of Gaza with an ultimatum to today, was indeed not a red-line.

    Look at the actions, not at the words. There is absolutely no indication by the actions of Biden and Harris, that they would ends Israels US funded genocide. Especially now as the whole "we need to toe the line, because of the Israel-Lobby" bullshit falls apart. The election is over. If the Dems had any serious interest in preventing Israel from annihilating Palestine, now would be the time to do so. They don't. Because they always were and still are in support of Israels genocide.

    I know Excel is wonky sometimes and it is from Microsoft, so it comes with a whole lot of bullshit around it, but in terms of available features it is quite solid nowadays.

  • So first it always was Biden, now other choice permitted. Then it was Harris, no other choice permitted. Now it is "Democrat", which is a pretty broad spectrum.

    And that show exactly the failure of the Harris/Biden supporters. Instead of pushing for a viable candidate that doesn't support the genocide in Gaza, people doubled down on a center right-right pro genocide candidate. And this strategy didn't just loose the election, it also shows the complicity of everyone who supported that campaign. Who chose a secure election loss with genocide support, over daring to bring a non genocidal candidate to the ballot.

  • Social harm is much higher with alcohol. There used to be a graph plotting both social and physical harm, but it got replaced with the one you criticise, effectively stating the same thing. Alcohol in its effects for both the individual and society is a hard drug, like coke, heroin or meth.

    But the way you get defensive makes me wonder why aconowledging alcohol to be a serious drug with huge damage both to individuals and society is so difficult.

    180k/330 Mio = 54 Alcohol related deaths per year and 100k people in the US.

    60k / 80 Mio = 75 Alcohol related deaths per year and 100 k people in Germany.

    More people per capita die in Germany from alcohol abuse than in the US. I have no idea which numbers you have there. They are way off.

  • It was always going to be Kamala or Trump. It doesn’t matter if neither one made you happy. If you thought otherwise, you didn’t think it through.

    Wasn't it "It was always going to be Biden or Trump" until three months ago?

  • Yeah, not drunk, just a little tipsy, its just to take the edge off, just to relax a bit...

  • Bernie Sanders doubles down that people are ‘angry’ with Dems after Pelosi said she didn’t ‘respect’ his remarks

  • We should appreciate learning from mistakes. But we must also ask ourselves how the talking points of the loosing corporate strategy were hammered down and made to be picked up.

    People always love to talk about how the far right is ripe with Russian and other foreign and corporate influence. But we need to acknowledge that the same problems hold true for the center and left. Maybe it is less foreign influence but certainly more corporate influence.

  • If two partys are not representing my interests at all, the winning strategy is to make my vote about punishing the one that didnt represent my interests when it was in power. This way it will have to adapt to recognize my interests when it needs my vote to get back to power.

    By just always voting whatever party claims to be the less evil for me, all i do is create a race to the bottom of evil, as i make sure that my vote does not need to be fought for.

  • Alcohol is a hard drug. The opiod crisis not being such a thing in Europe is a result of opiods not being downplayed and casualized like in the US, so the reason why the US has an opiod crisis and we have such an alcohol problem are similar. But you drew a line from casual alcohol abuse to somehow work against opiod problems. But more alcohol abuse doesnt lead to less opiod abuse or the other way round.

  • Yep, it's pretty normal

  • So did you also do other hard drugs because they were hidden from you? Heroin, Coke, Crack, Meth?

    The opiod crisis has an entirely different basis to them, as tons of Americans were made addicted by reckless prescriptions first.

    And again, seeing my and other parents drink regularly did not stop us from being reckless around alcohol. Instead what it does makes clear signs of alcoholism not be taken as warning. "Dad had two beers every day, whats the harm in three?"

    There is things the US does badly, like not allowing alcohol until 21 and then giving access to vodka and beer alike, where many European countries have different ages for booze and lower strength alcohol. But the idea that people in Europe are more responsible around alcohol doesn't hold to reality. The US had about 120k alcohol related deaths per year, which jumped to 180k with the pandemic. Germany is at a stable 60-70k a year. But Germany has less than one fourth of the US population.

  • And then you miscalculate your sip, or you have to break suddenly, so you spill hot coffee all over yourself. Now you are in pain and take both hands off the wheel and your eyes off the road, because you want to take your hot clothes away from you.

    Voilá you are driving uncontrolledly and are a mortal danger to anyone within the possible paths your car could take for the next ten or so seconds.

  • I was almost run over by a driver at a crossing who was busy eating fries or something. She clearly didn't know or care to pay attention and drive accordingly. Given her speed i most likely would be dead or in a wheelchair if i hadn't stopped in the middle of the road. I will never forget the stupid expression on her face as she looked back up and didn't bother to slow down.

    It doesn't matter the kind of distraction. If you dont have both hands free to operate your car and you have to look at anything except the road and mirrors, you are distracted and have no business of driving. This kind of behaviour should always lead to people getting stopped and at least made to walk the rest of the day, getting longer bans with repeated offenses.

  • Given that alcohol is a hard drug with severe social and personal consequences when abused i find that sentiment a bit shortsighted. We rightfully don't accept casual consumption of cocaine or heroin around children. We shouldn't set the model that alcohol is just a casual thing to consume on any given afternoon.

    Me and many friends as teenagers wen we got shitfaced in unhealthy and dangerous ways just laughed at our parents critizising us, because of how normalized their consumption was.

    So between responsible consumption and casual consumption is a huge difference. Especially when there is small kids around, who might end up just drinking from the jar right in their reach.

  • I had people place some terrible limo mixed alcohol on a buffet table, with kids around. I had to explain to him, that it looking like something for kids, while having some 30% or so, is a very very bad idea.
