I mean, the idea is, that the tarriffed stuff becomes less attractive compared to the non-tarriffed stuff due to the higher price, so less people will buy it and instead the nationally produced alternatives thus strengthening the national economy and and weakening the tarriffed ones.
Of course that can only work with stuff that has nationally produced (or at least non-tarriffed) alternatives.
It’s never too late to learn. Just don’t use the ich_iel community as study material or you’ll end up speaking a very strange kind of German.
The channels you‘re watching get a noticeable chunk out of your YT Premium subscription though. I‘ve heard multiple YT creators say, that they get a lot more money from a premium view than an ad supported one (and nothing when you use adblock). And I definitely watch too many different creators to support each and every one individually on patreon/nebula/floatplane/whatever.
In my elementary school we even had clocks, where the numbers were large dice the teacher could take out and rotate so they showed ½, 30 or 18 instead of 6, for example. It’s not hard to learn, if you’re at a school. But then again, digital clocks are so everpresent that it might not actually matter…
No argument from me on that.
Sure, but what does that have to do with China being or not being socialist? Or are you saying socialism needs to be authoritarian?
What does that have to do with there discussion at hand?
I‘m not defending capitalism, I’m just saying that China shouldn‘t be the system we praise as a good example.
The same way, I’m not defending the PIC or the US‘s incarceration rates. I’m just saying, if you want a positive example for how prisons should be run, don’t look at a state that currently runs concentration camps. Look at countries with actually low incarceration rates like the Scandinavian countries, Germany, Switzerland or the Netherlands, that place their focus on reintegration not punishment, don’t have political prisoners, treat their inmates like human beings and also generally don’t have privately run prisons that “need” to be profitable.
If the uyghur situation is immaterial then so is incarceration rate in general. Especially since there are a bunch of capitalist countries with a significantly lower incarceration rate than China.
And if they say they’re socialist it must of course be true. Authoritarian regimes have never misrepresented themselves ever. /s
For one, the US is a terrible example for incarceration rates in any case. If you look at Europe, the incarceration rate on average is very comparable and in many Western European countries like Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, etc. it’s closer to half that, sometimes even less than half.
And also, China has a comparatively huge number of political prisoners and some places in China (particularly where a lot of Uyghurs happen to live) have incarceration rates of more than 3700 per 100000.. That’s a lot higher than the US and more than double than even the US‘s incarceration happiest state Louisiana with ~1400/100000.
And even ignoring that, I wouldn’t use China as a great example for a socialist state either, for the reasons that they have a totalitarian government that doesn’t like it very much if you don’t like them and that they very much do take part in capitalism, being the worlds cheap production plant.
Fusion ist eh ein Fiebertraum, den wir zu unseren Lebzeiten nicht miterleben werden.
As a German: Fuck Tuna on Pizza. That’s just cat food pizza…
I agree on the pineapples but pickles aren’t to my taste on pizza. Had a “cheeseburger” pizza from dominoes once and it was abysmal.
Mein Beispiel mit dem absurd hohen Rabatt ist nur ein etwas übertriebenes Beispiel realer Taktiken, die von sehr vielen Onlineshops benutzt werden. Man nennt das übrigens “Dark Pattern”. Auf diese wird erst seit relativ kurzem Aufmerksamkeit gelenkt und sie sind – zumindest partiell – verboten. Es wurde auch schon, z.B. gegen Amazon geklagt.
Das hier richtet sich also nicht ausschließlich gegen China. Es geht nicht um „Gelbe Gefahr“ sondern um ein verbreitetes Problem im Internet, bei denen die China-Import-Shops mit negativem Vorbild voranschreiten.
Ist aber nicht nur China. Auch bei in Deutschland agierenden Firmen isses ähnlich. Meine Tante arbeitet in einem kleinen, privat geführtem Bücher und Comic Versandhandel und sie sagt das Porto is einfach absurd teuer. Während ein Amazon Gratisversand mit Lieferung am nächsten Tag anbieten kann, müssen die dem Kunden irgendwas um die 4-5€ für den Versand berechnen und das ohne 24h Lieferung. Für Bücher. Dafür müssen sie halt dann andere Herausstellungsmerkmale anbieten (z.B. Lieferung von Büchern und Heften in Mint-Qualität für Sammler oder Rückwirkende Abos für ältere Serien).
Manipulative Kaufanreize ist allerdings nicht nur Werbung. Falsche Rabatte mit Timer zählen da z.B. eher dazu. („2,99€ statt 299€, wenn du innerhalb von 5 Minuten bestellst“ und wenn der Timer auf 0 geht, geht er wieder hoch auf 5 Minuten und der Preis bleibt 2,99€)
I also drink because I enjoy the taste. Some people drink coffee or energy drinks to stay awake. One can drink alcohol to get drunk. There are many reasons. Yes, hydration is almost always a present and desired effect but not always the reason.
I’d argue though, after a 10K, you’re not drinking for any other reason than hydration and in such cases water is always the best. But I’d argue that’s an edge case unless you’re a professional athlete or live in a very hot environment
I see you haven’t had proper tea yet
The glasses part sounds similar to Germany. I‘m pretty near sighted (-4.25-ish diopters) and without glasses I‘m more or less useless. Can’t focus on things beyond like 20cm from my face. Can’t read shit that isn’t either that close or ginormous.
According to German public insurance, I’m not blind enough for them to subsidize my glasses, let alone pay for them outright.
To be fair, you can get glasses somewhat cheaply for sub 100€ if you’re not too picky about frames or high quality lenses with good coating but still. At least that much should be covered by insurance at the point where you aren’t allowed to operate a vehicle without glasses anymore, imo.
Also, I don’t wanna shit on German public insurance too much because so far I’ve never had to pay a penny for any doctor’s appointment and necessary medications have been free as well. Also, mental health is covered, at least when it’s deemed necessary aka you‘ve been diagnosed with a mental illness, so maybe the commenter above isn’t from here.
