    Not a tanky or China apologist but it’s actually doing fine (not great but very well might be soon).

    Here’s the information you’re looking for. China is doing a lot of things right and is ahead of schedule. They’re making good progress on electrification and their renewables are growing exponentially at an insane rate.

    They’re still addicted to coal but with the developments in solar and wind and a very large geography and energy storage programs they’re going to be phased out and really fast in the coming years.

    Given the fact that they’re pretty much producing everything for western economies and is recently industrialised China is actually doing fine. They emit a lot less per person than the average European while producing goods for 2x their population.

    It might sound weird but China is one of the countries that’s actually taking climate change seriously.








  • There was a piece of law that passed on weed. Here’s the wiki:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_cannabis_control_bill?wprov=sfla1

    The German cannabis control bill (German: Cannabisgesetz) is a bill passed by the German Bundestag in February 2024, and the Bundesrat in March, that legalised the adult (18-years-old and over) use of cannabis in Germany, as well as the personal possession and cultivation of limited amounts of cannabis by adults in Germany, beginning on 1 April 2024. Adults in Germany are allowed to possess up to 25 grams of cannabis in public and up to 50 grams of dried cannabis at home. Each individual adult in Germany may also have up to three of their own cannabis plants at home. As part of the bill, adult-only non-profit cannabis social clubs with a maximum of 500 members will become legal in Germany from 1 July 2024.


  • I feel like a lot of people here assume that you’re going to be automatically arrested when going to DPRK but it’s not completely true. You can get easily arrested and you have to follow strict cultural/government imposed rules.

    The DPRK previously has done a “put it’s best foot forward” and keep tourists in a bubble where you’re not allowed to take pictures or videos unless in specifically permitted zones. It’s essentially a propaganda tour.

    So you definitely can go to the DPRK as a tourist but for the love of god follow their rules to the letter.
