I mean, depends on the rock: granite: yes; diamond: probably not.

In Germany? Yes

Yeah, nice thing that everything not fitting your view is propaganda. I mean also what does not fit? If Wikipedia is just a pro US propaganda machine and the source they give, too: Why would the US still be on place one when looking at the absolute numbers?

Also the raw data is not from “NATOpedia”, but from the source you gave. What even is your point? They are lying about China being second place in raw numbers or what? Feels a bit like killing the messenger before thinking about what he said.

I do agree with the US being quite authoritarian and that the US are a good example why capitalism in this form is very bad.

My only points are, that the world is not black and white. There may still be points where the US are doing good (national parks may come to ones mind) and China is surely no workers paradise.

? I really don’t know what you are hinting at. In raw numbers the US will still be number 1 followed by China and per capita adding in countries with a lower incarceration rate and less people than the USA won’t lift up the USA in the ranking.

By raw numbers obviously the US, followed by china with not too many less. Per capita El Salvador and Cuba are on the first two places. So what’s your point? Per Capita and in raw numbers there is a capitalist country and a country which calls itself socialist on place one and two.

Better check your facts before next time.

I somehow don’t really get the concept. I buy a physical book and I can swap my physical book for a digital copy and back? Why would I want this, apart from getting a free digital copy of the book after copying it and swapping back and why would you want to store my personal library for free, when I can always come and get my books back? If I wanted an e-book I’d just get that in the first place.

Yeah, the legendary communist free world, where you went to gulag, if you dared to think of your own. And the awful authoritarian capitalists of bringing up the average quality of life that much since ww2. /S

Sorry, but this view is very much too simple.

I mean yes, but it wouldn’t explain population growth

Geology, it’s simply fascinating how much you can tell about our earth by holding a mere stone in your hands.

Great idea. Also: listen to 5 30 second advertisements to speak ad-free for the next 45 minutes!

Alway has been

I started eating less and being more active. I went down to two meals a day and little to no snacking. One smaller meal in the late morning and one bigger in the late afternoon. Also started to commute by bike at least twice a weak and go out hiking more often.

Weight goes down not too fast but at a steady pace.

Not true, you are not allowed to call it beer then
