What a bullcrap, it’s all because of Ruzzia’s agression and imperialistic ambitions. Stop your disinfo.

Jing attended Stanford University Graduate School of Business. "
The about-us section of the site, states they’re a native Ukraine based blog. But the ownership section describes Jing Chen as an Chinese-American. It doesn’t make any sense.

Riddick3001OPto Europe@feddit.org•‘It’s a question of humanity’: how a small Spanish town made headlines over its immigration stanceEnglish51·4 天前Context
"Of late, even some of the most ardent critics of immigration have conceded its necessity; in June Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, the far-right leader who has long called irregular migrants a threat to Europe’s future, said her government would issue nearly 500,000 new work visas for non-EU nationals in the coming years, in addition to the 450,000 handed out since she took power.
While regularisation programmes have long been used across the EU, with 43 put in place by more than a dozen countries between 1996 and 2008, in Villamalea the push to grant papers was also rooted in the town’s history."
Riddick3001OPto Europe@feddit.org•Hungarian master of absurdist excess László Krasznahorkai wins Nobel literature prizeEnglish2·4 天前Holy crap. I guess you should read that only if you are in good mood ;-)
Exactly,) It’s heavy duty stuff. It won’t work me atm, as I’m looking for hope. Though sometimes the bleak recognition might offer some people solace too.#
Riddick3001OPto Europe@feddit.org•Hungarian master of absurdist excess László Krasznahorkai wins Nobel literature prizeEnglish1·5 天前I myself haven’t read anything yet, but the article itself says;
" Varga suggested readers new to Krasznahorkai’s work start with “Satantango,” his 1985 debut, which centered around the few remaining residents of a dying collective farm and set the tone for what was to follow."
Riddick3001to World News•Surge in domestic violence feared during long Chuseok holiday in South KoreaEnglish2·6 天前Yes, I get your point , though you make some colorful extrapolations. I’m not saying I’d be agreeing to others morality or condoning differences in our own morality, because they are all different, everybody has their own views. What I don’t like is when people claim the higher moral ground, without understanding any of the other’s cultural context and by proclaiming their culture should be like ours. Other cultures are other cultures. You can disagree with (some) of their practices, and equally other cultures will probably say similar things of yours.
But when femicide. and domestic abuse in the West is on the rise it’s an increasing problem. So, that’s why I said; maybe lets focus first on fixing our own shit, before pointing the finger on someone else.
Tnx, I wasn’t aware of this context.
Corporations are responsible for a vast majority of the waste
I don’t really understand this recurring theme in this context, Can someone explain to me why this is relevant?
Afaik, this isn’t a discussion in my country, since most people (should) know that already. This article triggered me, beacuse I want to lower my personal energy usage. Many companies in Europe who were energy wasteful and high energy users (like some chemical, steel, or aluminium plants) needed to close after the Russian invasion in 2022 and the then extreem high energy prices. Those that survived, are still struggling to this day.
What was the source of that energy loss?
No idea tbh. I tried to figure it out myself first, then I had two electricians independently checking it.
And their conclusion was that they didn’t know, and that the 5% was sort of normal. I even had my electricity meter recalibrated by the grid company. I was afraid somone was taping, but no… It still could’ve been the electricity meter ( which was like only 10 yo, I looked up its specs and readings). Humidity, Magnetism and Radio signals might effect the readings, under circumstances. So to be" safe", I have now a newer smart electricicity meter.
I had my old house tested ( after I mostly had it all rewired), by various electricians for energy losses. And they claimed that there was always some unaccountable energy loss ( 5% iirc).
Even if it is, this pales in comparison to corporate energy use.
Yeah I agree, I later saw that the article focuses on households, which usually account for like 20% of a countries energy usage.
Honestly, I associated the articles headline and photo to energy losses in the Grid by keeping energy online. So Grid losses, and the application of smart grid functions will save way more then 5% of a ca 20% household energy usage. In this article they talk about a 4-5% overall country gain, for example
Anyone who can confirm if these figures are correct?

Riddick3001to World News•Surge in domestic violence feared during long Chuseok holiday in South KoreaEnglish44·6 天前Yeah let’s all" civilize" all those other barbaric " non-progressive" countries and cultures, by using and imposing ours via imperialistic agendas/s.
Add: Maybe just maybe, let them find their own way, and just focus on what you can do in your own country first.
And also, just to be clear, I’m against domestic violence ofc.
I added an alt source (Reuters) for readability. The news is weirdly framed. So, basically an important phase in Europe’s Fusion Energy plans have been finalised. It’s an accumulation of years of know-how and research from many different Europeans countries. The predecessor if you will, is known as ITER
