Scholz: Germany will be the first country in Europe to introduce a law requiring operators of 80% of all service stations to provide fast-charging options with at least 150 kilowatts for e-cars.
Although good news, maybe do something about the fact that every minute 13 million dollar in subsidies is going to fossil fuels... In 2022 the total was 7 trillion, dwarfing the 1 trillion for renewables (globally)

You allow them to murder hundreds of virtual people or creatures, but sex is a bridge too far?

Superbugs are on the rise. How can we prevent antibiotics from becoming obsolete?
On driving factor is the (over)use of antibiotics in animal agriculture. It's weird the article touches this issue in just one sentence...
"Over 70 percent of antibiotics sold in the United States are given to livestock, including cattle, which translates to significant human health impacts."
"Unlike with human medicine, however, antibiotics are often fed to cattle as a preventative measure, rather than as a treatment."
"Antibiotic resistance in cattle does not only affect the health of the cattle, it impacts people as well because many of the antibiotics given to cattle are also used in human medicine. Eating meat or consuming milk from an animal with antibiotic-resistant bacteria may infect a human with that same resistant bacteria"

Arson attacks at schools in Belgium are believed to be connected to a controversial sex ed program
Believed?
They sprayed the name of the course on the wall.
We have 99 problems in Belgium but religious nuts come out with pitchforks because their child might hear in school that being gay is not something to be ashamed of. Blessed be the fucking fruit.

It's sad that the commenter allows his children to go cyberpsycho on virtual bystanders but won't allow them to see a nipple.
There is a reason the game has an age restriction.

The problem is not the amount of people but how much each individual consumes. Getting meat out of your diet is a simple and a small sacrifice. Besides the health benefits there is also the fact that you don't contribute to the culling of 70 billion animals per year (of which 40% is probably not eaten and thrown in the trash). Not only that but you don't contribute to the greatest cause of deforestation, antibiotics resistance, decline of biodiversity, water waste, ...
Besides the global population is steadily stagnating (Africa is still booming) as a lot of countries see population decline (less than 2 children per woman).

I'd figure those plastics wreak havoc in the long term in an individual life but won't prevent people form reproducing and developing. It might be a serious setback but just a hurdle for humanity. Climate change, our nuclear arsenal, ... pose more urgent threats.

Ukraine deserved better from Nato | Letters
Ukraine will probably get the NATO membership as a sweetener after the war. Realistically the war will only end through negotiations where unavoidably land will be lost to Russia in exchange for security guarantees.

Having sex is probably something you will do in your life, mass murder is not.
And just as hitting several hookers in downtown los Santos with a virtual bolide won't make you a deranged carkiller, being exposed to a booby won't make you a sex-driven pervert.

Membership can come quickly: Finland became a member rather swiftly. I figure most members would want the war the end as soon as possible because it's a moneydrain. European members are not eager to prolong a war just outside their borders.
The situation is different for the US of course. I don't agree with you on Russia: A prolonged war is in the best interest of the US as it weakens Russia over time. Their current economy and sanctions don't allow a long-term "military operation". Furthermore China can't rely on a weak ally if shit hits the fan in Taiwan. Ukraine is also a prime example on how willing the US is to support allies in a long-term proxy war.

The Weekly Discussion Topic - Game UIs - 04-08-2023
Another issue I had with exoprimal (besides having only 3 maps and one gamemode, the mtx clusterfuck) was the UI. It was all over the place both in-game and in the menu's. No idea where to look for.
V risings build menu was tedious as well. Putting everything in one big line made finding your pieces and their variants hard.
On menu's: I don't mind a few more clicks as long as the information is found intuitively and is clearly presented. Don't try to reinvent the wheel. What I do like though is presenting them in an immersive fashion like metro exodus or an oldie: medal of honor multiplayer.
I think age of empires did a solid job of giving you the information you needed. Even as a little kid I understood what I was looking at.
