At they very least, I think short-distance flights need to be made way more expensive. Like a 70€ minimum ticket price on all flights.
There’s no way in hell we’re getting through the climate crisis when a German can pay 20€ for a flight to Mallorca and back, but pays 200€ for a train to the other side of the country.
Most spine-possessing influencers.
No one is immune to ads.
Qwant is unfortunately owned by Axel Springer, truly one of the worst German companies in existence. They’re the publisher of the most popular (and unfortunately highly politically biased, filled to the brim with dishonest exaggerations and occasionally straight-up lies) German newspaper Bild.
Whatever comes out of Qwant if it actually becomes popular, you can rest assured it will be nothing good.
Just use DuckDuckGo and be done with it.
Currently largest and most successful YouTuber on the platform (by a wide margin), started out by doing challenge videos about himself (24h in ice, that kinda stuff) that he’d invite friends to as the goody sidekicks causing mischief and making his challenges a little harder/more interesting.
These days, his stuff has transformed into a media powerhouse, all of it is still kinda falling into a challenge category. Now with far higher stakes and involving other people in competitions against each other - think “kids vs adults - group with most people still in the game after 5 days wins $500k” - where several days (sometimes months) of filming all gets cut down to one 10-20 minute long video.
There’s also just “look at this thing” videos like “$1 to $10,000,00 car” where him and his friends check out increasingly expensive cars until they eventually get a whole bridge cordoned off to drive in the most expensive car in the world.
He does some philanthropy, like his “plant 10 million trees” campaign and makes money through sponsorship deals and advertising his own brands - they’re currently running their own line of (fair trade?) chocolate bars that are available (in most places?) in the US, which kids will buy because of the brand recognition, leaving them with a ton of profits.
I asked which ones. Denmark has a surplus, but that’s accidental and no one’s trying to keep it that way.
And if you’re about to give Qatar as an example, the point is moot.
Which countries are running on a profit, exactly?
The Russian “justice” system has a conviction rate of 99.3%. It’s safe to say they’re giving large swathes of completely innocent people the death penalty here - people who are someone’s father, child, or friend.
Is that the system you see as exemplary for the west? Are these the Russian family values I’m always hearing so much about?

Damn, this seems like exactly what I’ve been looking for… Shame I’m finding it a year late.
One last really important point you didn’t mention is how long do they serve security updates for?
FOUR cameras, however!
I mean, I think at that point it just becomes noise that you filter out. Ain’t nobody looking at their phone for 2000 buzzes every day - when everything’s marked important, nothing is important.
The system of integration for migrants failed in Sweden (as it was hardly even existent in the first place). That’s the systemic cause.
The acute symptom of this currently is gang violence. That said, the symptom is like a cancer that runs itself, the criminal systems underpinning gang violence are now established and you won’t get rid of them by being nice anymore.
So you have to fight both the symptoms and the causes… Which Sweden is beginning to do. Reinstating and hardening penalties for organized and violent crime to get rid of the acute symptoms, as well as stopping the inflow of non-European migrants to stop the cause.
The Swedish government didn’t say they’ll never take non-European migrants again, but it’s clear the whole system needs a huge overhaul.
Whataboutism be like
There is no migrant violence in Ba Sing Se
3 people in 12 hours in one city was their last record. Gang-related killings have been steadily rising for years and they’ve currently reached a boiling point where dozens of people die every month just in Stockholm.
You’re telling me Fuckfuckmyfuckingass isn’t your NSFW alt account??
Ah yes, it’s far right populists that caused this and not the gangs who killed two people in shootings and another in an explosion in Stockholm just two days ago… lmao
And yeah, these are unintegrated migrants imported from 2015 onwards, who failed to integrate and now run massively violent, warring gangs that are currently responsible for an unprecedented amount of violent deaths in Sweden’s largest cities. Putting our heads in the sand regarding real issues for fear of being racist is what got us here in the first place.
Look at the data, and act, just as Sweden’s LEFT-WING government is CURRENTLY doing because the situation has now become untenable.
Keeps out the new users we’ll need to keep this place alive, you mean
It’s more likely to be down to incompetence. I can’t imagine the party UV lights are more expensive than the fuck-you-up UV lights.
EDIT: Someone else mentioned these might’ve been used during COVID for sanitation, and are extremely cheap leftover wares now that the pandemic is “over”, which would actually make them a lot cheaper.
