Yeah, someone from Germany. Ney about the situation of course. The Lockdown Light, how they call it, is really okay compared to the first one imho. But I'm not sure if it's enough. One can only hope.

Fellow Berliner. A few months ago someone spray-painted "Bill Gates created Corona" on my apartment building. There are all kinds of people everywhere. :/

Personally, here in Germany, I have yet to see someone intentionally not wearing a mask in a store or similar, but the amount of videos and stories I hear of cases where that does happen saddens me. But all in all, I'm happy with how well most people have dealt with the situation here.

Is this in Berlin? I hope you're distanced from them. I've heard people (somewhat) assume that Europeans are taking this more seriously... :\

Well, I think that some countries/governments have learned lessons. I am thinking in particular of Germany and Japan, both of them have recognised the futility of war. I totally understand the history behind this though. Germany ensures that its full history and role in WW2 is taught in schools, hopefully so that those horrors are never forgotten, never repeated.

Yes, that's how it's done. The memory can only be passed on by education. Your examples show that, Germany being the best example at that. However, and this is something not even education can help, the memory passed forth is just descriptive, an affection free report of what and when something happened. So, in a way there's a remembrance, but on the other, that memory means nothing, as it is not a lived and felt experience.

I always struggle with that idea of collective learning. Why? Because there is no collective brain to hold the collective memory. History is not a collective memory we share, just an abstraction held by individuals and their individual brains. There is no we to remember, no we that forgets. That's why stupid mistakes happen again and again.

That was a great read, thank you for sharing. One thought I had when reading the article was that if the trio Bezos, Musk, and Zuck are all investing in one company, it must mean that there is space in the market for competition. It indicates to me that there will be a lot of growth in this area (which doesn't necessarily mean there will be success).

I think this is a valid inference. There is a company in Germany called Microspi industries that is similar to Vicarious micropsi-industrie...

My favourite brand is MateMate. It has a softer, slightly sweeter taste than Club. I import it from Germany via urban-drinks.com.

Reading the news often makes me frustrated and angry, and I really can't do anything about what the news is reporting on. Considering giving it up entirely and purposefully avoiding the news.
đ¤ Dave
I can relate to that. In addition to being nearly exclusively negative, most news is garbage-quality and only cares about emotionalising and getting clicks. Here in Germany even the big newspapers with loads of history, prestige and influence have degenerated to a quality level which 20 years ago would have been associated with the tabloid press. Maybe I can muster the courage to purposefully avoid all news in the future...

Ouch that sucks. I'm glad you kept pushing to get one, hopefully all you need is that letter. What are you going to do with the card once you have it?

:( I searched amazon.nl for "Amazon Basics" but nothing came up. Perhaps they don't sell there. I know there's even more items on the US store than there is on the UK. Do you have Prime? At-least with that you can sometimes get next day delivery if you see the Prime logo. Also I like to look for "Frustration Free Packaging" in the description.

YouGov based figures, so likely very wrong?
Mark Dain
YouGov is consistently very accurate in it's predictions and data: en.wikipedia.org/w... Having said that, what sources do you trust? The point of the article was a lot of votes for leave came from the older generation and many young people feel cheated from an entitled generation who had everything. We're already massively in debt and now we've lost the common market. If you think this won't matter, the IT sector is looking to relocate [ theguardian.com/te... ] and at work, we're investigating moving our hosting to Germany.
