  • It is very limited though. I would consider Germany more on the decriminalized side.

    You are allowed to own a small amount. You are allowed to grow up to three plants at home. It is illegal to buy, sell, or import.

    There is rules for having cannabis social clubs similiar to Spain, but the rules around them are quite complex and a lot of it remains unclear, until the law will have been interpreted in court decisions.

    Some German states have already announced that they will make life hell for anyone smoking weed in legal public spaces or operating a legal cannabis social club. Also the level of permittable THC for driving is still undecided.

    Currently any level of blood THC is considered a DUI and can not only get you a fine, but also a suspension of your drivers licencse with an extensive “medical psychological check up” if you want to regain your licencse. That “check up” is run by private businesses who also sell courses on which answers are right and which are wrong. Basically anything beyond “this was the only time i swear, i was in a bad place and i should have never done it and i am so sorry, and i will never do it again” is a wrong answer.

    Now we had an expert proposal for a higher level of permittable blood THC. The proposed level has yet to pass but it would effectively be fine for occasional users, but still a problem for regular users, as it is close to the baseline THC level that they have.

    So all in all it is a great step forward, especially considering how the “debate” from the political right and fascists was run around 1970s war on drug prohibition and cultural deprevation talking points. However it still creates many aspects to watch out for and it should be noted, that the political right wants to do everything to reverse the laws, when they likely win the elections next year. The problem with that is also that the center right social democrats are still internally devided, with many of them still thinking of weed as the devils lettuce.




  • Wenn wir annehmen, dass es in jedem Leben einen besten Moment gibt, dann kann man das über jeden Moment sagen.

    Und nach drei Tagen zugekokstem und weggesoffenem Festivalbesuch eine Woche Krankenhausaufenthalt zu haben, und ne Woche später festzustellen, dass man sich Genitalherpes eingefangen hat, ist vielleicht auch nicht so der Lebenshöhepunkt, dem man alle anderen unterordnen möchte. Auch dann nicht, wenn während der drei Tage der Dopaminspiegel am höchsten jemals war.


  • I recommend everyone to read up a bit on the Algerian war for independence

    In total the estimates for Algerians killed, mostly murdered by the French opression range from 400.000-1.500.000.

    The French massacred Civilians, used torture and rape, unlawful detentions, food deprivation and other inhumane tactics to supress and murder the people struggling to live in self determination on their own land.

    Meanwhile of course the independance fighters were branded as terrorists and barbarians to delegitimise their political goals and in complete denial about the terror imposed by the French police and army.

    Finally the French lost as their population stopped supporting the murder, torture and rape. It also lead to the collapse of the fourth republic, after which the war was lost soon after.

    The military tried to coup twice. First to bring de Gaulle into power and maintain the brutal opression of Algeria and a second time to coup de Gaulle out, as he was realising the war to be lost and seeking a political resolution.

    For decades after there was no recognition of the French, that a war took place. They refered to it as a police operation and the topic was banned from schools.

    In the muslim and arab world what happens in Gaza and the Westbank is often seen in parallel to the Algerian war of independence. In Europe many countries gloss over or just dont teach about the Algerian war for independence or other independance movements in the former colonies at all.


  • […].
    The polarisation created by the agreement thus has the potential to seep into wider society. Indeed, 2023 was also a year of increased riots and protests in Mauritania due in large part to the police killing of human rights activist al-Soufi Ould al-Chine in February and a young Afro-Mauritanian man, Oumar Diop, in May.

    The latter instance in particular compounded a sense of racialised exclusion felt by many within the Afro-Mauritanian community. Indeed, it is not uncommon for Afro-Mauritanians to be suspected of being “illegal immigrants” by security forces, given the difficulties many face in obtaining civil registry documentation. In such a context, the EU incentivising national security forces to crack down on “irregular migration” carries acute risks for those already on the margins in Mauritania.

    The migration deal, therefore, risks inflaming racial tensions and social polarisation in Mauritania while it is also unlikely to achieve its stated aim of preventing “irregular migration”. Such an outcome would foremost be detrimental to the country itself, and it would also undermine the EU’s own framing of Mauritania as a beacon of stability in a troubled region.

  • Auch dann bist du preislich deutlich teurer unterwegs als heute. in der Stadt kannst du sie häufig nicht draußena ufstellen, weil kein Platz ist, im Gebäude brauchst du Ex-sichere Elektroinstallation in dem Bereich, es gibt Mindestabstände zu beachten… und die Versicherung wird sicherlich auch die Police anpassen, wenn der Tank im Gebäude steht.

    Dann zahlst du bei jeder Lieferung auch die Anfahrt mit, und auch das Flüssiggas ist zur Zeit nochmal 20-30% teurer.

    Aber jetzt kommt der Knackpunkt. Flüssiggas ist Propan oder Butan. Erdgas ist überwiegend Methan und Ethan. Wenn der Heizbedarf mit Methan und Ethan wegbricht und damit die Förderung, wird auch viel weniger Propan und Butan als “Nebenprodukt” mitgefördert. D.h. wenn alle Gasheizer nur noch mit Flüssiggas heizen würden, dann müssten sie auch für das hauptsächlich geförderte Erdgas mitbezahlen. Und wenn das wegen fehlendem Bedarfs einfach verbrannt werden würde, würden die CO2 Preise jenseits von gut und böse für einen privaten Haushalt liegen.
