No, there is too much content for that nowadays. YouTube has over 3 million new videos each day. Facebook, TikTok, Instagram also has ridiculous amounts of new posts every day. Browsing Reddit on New was a terrible experience on r/all or even many of the bigger subs. Even on the fediverse sorting by new is not enjoyable. You are swarmed with reposts, and content that's entirely uninteresting to you.

It works in smaller communities but there it isn't really necessary. You usually have an overview of all the content anyhow and it doesn't matter how it's ordered.

Any social media that plans on scaling up needs a more advanced system.

Da gehts nicht um ein goldenseal Paradis zu finden. Es geht darum dass Deutschland nicht viel mehr bietet als andere Länder Aber das Gehalt geringer ist.

Vor 10-20 Jahren hatte Deutschland zumindest noch wesentliche vorteile die ein geringeres Gehalt akzeptabel gemacht hatten. Aber die AfD gewinnt Jahr für Jahr an Stimmen. Sozialleistungen, Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel, Umweltschutz, etc. fallen alle kurz. Und dann gibts halt keinen wirklichen Grund länger in Deutschland zu bleiben. Weil wenn man schon in ner schelchten Gesamtsituation leben muss, dann lieber mit mehr Geld.

Beispiel Krankenpflege, in Deutschland bekommt man rund 35,000 Euro im Jahr. Australien und Kanada zaheln rund 50,000 Euro, Dänemark zahlt 80,000 Euro und die USA noch mehr. USA sind das einzige Land wo das höhere Gehalt vielleicht nicht die Lebenserwartungen wert sind. Aber solange Trump nicht gewinnt gitbs selbst dort genug Staaten wo es noch akzeptabel ist.

Hauptsächlich die Nachbarländer, also Schweiz, Österreich, Niederlande, Dänemark und Belgien. Schweden und Norwegen sind auch noch weit oben auf der Liste.

Spanien und Italien sind auch hoch interessant. Da sind die Jobchancen vielleicht nicht so hoch aber der erwartet Lebenstil is interessanter. Und da die meisten nur auswandern nachdem sie nen Job gefunden haben, ist die schlechtere Wirtschaft nicht spürbar.

Das größere Problem ist eher, Deutschland hat keine attratkiven Städte wo junge Leute wirklich leben wollen. Entweder ist die Stadt uninteressant oder die Jobchancen sind nicht da. Frankfurt hat gute Jobs aber ist absolut uninteressant zum leben. München ist zu teuer und in Bayern. Berlin hat ne menge Probleme. Die einzige Stadt die halbwegs interessant wäre ist Hamburg. Alles andere verliert deutlich im vergleich zu Kopenhagen, Wien, Amsterdam. Da sind die Jobchancen ähnlich zu den deutschen Städten aber die Lebensqualität höher. Brüssel hat den EU-Sitz Faktor.

Wenn man wirklich nur die Karriere verfolgt sind Dubai, Abu-Dhabi und Singapore noch stark dabei.

Und dann gibts halt noch ein paar "Traumländer" wie Neuseeland, Australien, Japan, und Südkorea.

The guy that got shot was part of a car chase that switched to a foot chase after the cars tire blew out. The guy didn't just walk down the road with a gun. In the video you can also see the guy making a strange movement with the gun just before the cop shot. It most likely was to throw the gun away but the cop couldn't have known that. And given the overall circumstances shooting at this point seems reasonable.

But the cop is still a piece of shit that shouldn't have been a cop by this point anymore. He is a cop since 2018 and has been involved in now 5 shootings (far higher than the average). And he was part of the badge bending scandal. Where cops bent the tips of their badge to mark fatal shootings. Any cop who does that, shouldn't be a cop.

Luckily the guy survived, unfortunately the cop will stay a cop.

You limit the hotel licenses. You then go hard on hotel inspections and revoke licenses or don't renew it from hotels that aren't up to code/standard. That way the available hotel rooms will go down. The number of licenses is limited by hotel category. That way you ensure a healthy mix of available room types and can still have all kinds of tourists in town. There won't be an issue with "big chains snatching up all the licenses".

Then for a time only people with a valid reservation are allowed to enter. You place checkpoints at the most common points of entry. That way you limit the number of potential tourists by limiting the available hotel rooms. It would also fix the issue of unregistered AirBnBs. It won't be perfect but you don't want to kill tourism just reduce it.

Locals and family of locals would be exempted from the limit. You just put some system in place to apply for that exemption for family. Since the checkpoints are only temporary (maybe around 6 months) the impact on locals and their family isn't too bad before it goes back to normal.

There will be a lot of media coverage about the closure and fewer tourists will come. The lifting of the checkpoints will barely make the news so things won't go back to how it was before. And the limit on hotel licenses is still in place, so the available rooms are limited anyhow. Naturally reducing tourism because fewer peope can book a room.

@flora_explora@beehaw.org hat den Artikel zur Statistik verlinkt. Und da steht:

Die Zahl der Ordnungswidrigkeiten beziehen sich jeweils auf alle Personen, die am Straßenverkehr teilgenommen haben und damit auch auf alle Fahrerlaubnisklassen plus Rad- und Rollerfahrer oder auch Fußgänger.

Sprich es wird nicht berücksichtig wer wieviel fährt. Es wird aber im Artikel erwähnt:

Bei einer annähernd gleichverteilten Gesamtfahrerlaubnisverteilung reflektieren diese Zahlen ein signifikantes Ungleichgewicht im Hinblick auf das Fahrverhalten.

Bei einzelnen Delikten, die eine bestimmte Fahrzeugkategorie stärker betreffen als andere, dürfte der geringere Frauenanteil Teil der Erklärung dafür sein, warum mehr Männer als Frauen diese Ordnungswidrigkeit begehen. Dies dürfte auf den Fall "Ladung" zutreffen, von der mehrheitlich Lastkraftwagen betroffen sein dürften. Hier liegt der Anteil der Frauen mit einem entsprechenden Führerschein bei 37 Prozent.

Gleichwohl muss man über alle Delikte hinweg einen deutlichen Männerüberschuss konstatieren, der sich nicht hinreichend durch einen geringeren Anteil der Frauen bei den jeweiligen Fahrerlaubnisklassen erklären lässt.

Aber der Anteil an Personen der jeweiligen Fahrerlaubnisklasse ist nicht wirklich sinnreich. Frauen machen vielleicht 37% der Personen mit nem LKW-Führerschein aus, sind aber nur 2% der Berufskraftfahrer. Ich kenn niemanden der nen LKW privat fährt. Von daher sind die 1,7% bei Ladungsdelikten weitaus näher am zum erwartet Wert dran.

Das Männer generell mehr fahren wid nicht wirklich berücksichtig. Es wird nur erwähnt dass es Indizien gibt dass bei gegengeschlechtlichen Beziehung der Mann eventuell öfters fährt. Aber Berufsfahrer werden gar nicht erwähnt, fallen aber in die Statistik.

Will jetzt nicht Behaupten dass Männer weniger Unfälle verursachen. Und bin durchaus bereit zu glauben dass Männer verhältnissmäßig mehr Delikte begehen. Aber die Zahlen in der Statistik sind nicht wirklich aussagekräftig.

Sind die Zahlen nur für Privatpersonen? Ansonsten finde ich das recht nutzlos. Frauen machen zwar 44% der Personen mit Fahrerlaubniss aus aber nur 2% der Berufskraftfahrer. Beim PKW-Besitzt gibts auch stärkere Unterschiede. Frauen sind nur rund 38% der privaten PKW-Besitzer. 2018 gab es im Main-Taunus-Kreis sogar mehr Firmenwagen als PKWs mit einer Halterin (43,8 % Männer, 28,9% Firmen, 27,3% Frauen). War die einzige Statistik die Firmenwagen beinhaltet die ich gefunden habe. Von daher machts Sinn, das Männer mehr Verkehrsdelikte begehen als man von Fahrerlaubnissen vielleicht erwarten würde.

Einzige was mich verwundert hatte war die extreme Differenz beim Alkohol.

I grew up in Austria, so while we aren't bordering Russia there is no oceans between us either.

My issue with the mandatory military service is just, I do not belive that the training is actually effective. You aren't training soldiers that you can call up and expect to peform. You are artificially inflating your military number by having "reservists" that are just as effective as untrained people picked up from the street. The 6 months of training your rank-and-file soldier gets is just not helpful anymore. It might have worked 150 years ago when we were fighting with muskets and basic cannons.

Maybe the Finnish military is different and prepare you better in the 6 months. I doubt it. The more usefull training is already voluntary and comes with a longer commitment time (both in Austria and Finland). In Austria you don't even get any training after your 6 months without opting in. Finland gives you an additional 80-150 days over 50 years according to google. Which is at least a little bit usefull.

If countries with mandatory military service bump up their current active standing military by a few thousands and offer a voluntary reservists program, that would provide a military just as if not more effective as the current system. And wouldn't force thousands of people to spend months doing something they aren't interested in.

If you really think mandatory service is necessary for the security of the country, then go the way of Singapore or South Korea where the service is around 2 years. Then the people actually are trained and spend long enough time in active duty to be ready in case of a war. But again, this 6 month mandatory service is nonsense in my opinion.

In 2013 Austria had a vote to get rid of the mandatory military service. 60% were in favor of keeping it (only 52% of people voted). The main arguments of people in favor of keeping: The civil service is essential for Hospitals, Nursinghomes, Schools, etc. as "free" labor. They aren't really free because the state is paying them. The second most common argument was "I had to do it, so they should also have to do it". Which is just stupid. A very small percentage of people actually cared about the military aspect of it.

The alternative is to have a standing professionall army. Then you have people who are actually trained and "combat ready". I wouldn't say that's worse at all. It allows people who want to be in the military to be in the military and people who don't, won't have to.

Mandatory military service isn't doing your bit, it's sitting around for a few months doing nothing useful. Even if war breaks out during your time, you are barely better prepared than someone just picked off the street. And after 2-3 years all the "training" you went through is forgotten anyhow.

I understand the need of drafting people during a time of war. That makes sense. But all mandatory military service does, is waste a year of your time.

The situation is way more complicated, it isn't a simple scam. It certainly didn't start out that way. The developers fully inteded on building these homes (at least until recently). And the business model was sound and generally works.

Pre-selling of units in apartments/condos is common around the world and a key part of securing the cashflow for the project. Chinese developers were operating just as anywhere else. The model is - use internal funding + pre-selling to build the project, then sell the remaining units once done. Use the money from selling the finished units to pay for the next project. Since demand for homes was super high, they started planning the next project before the first one was finished. Same as anywhere else in the world. The issue started that finished projects didn't sell the remaining empty units at the expected rate. Eventually the capital of the development company was mostly used up and the cashflow from finished projects dried up. So they had a lot of half built projects and the only money available was that from projects even further in the future. And that's not sustainable and here we are now.

There are three big factors why the finished units didn't sell.

• Pre-selling is cheaper. So homeowners opted for that. You usually are given a decent discount and have much easier payment terms. You often have a few years of monthly payments before the lump-sum is due. So by the time you need that mortage you already have 10-30% equity in the unit. Making the mortage lower and easier to get. And if your financial situation changed, you can even sell the unit before the lump-sum is due.

• China has rather restrictive rules on owning land. In many muncipialities, and especially in big cities, people are only allowed to own 1 or 2 residential homes (there are ways around it). Foreign entities aren't allowed to own residential properties for investment purposes in general. So unlike in the west where you have a conglomerate of investors buying up all the homes with the plan of making their money back by renting them out, Chinese investors have to rely on people buying their own home for personal use. Which means there is no real option of selling empty units on mass for a lower price.

• The rate of rural to urban migration slowed down. In the past few decades China experienced some of the fastest growth of urbanization ever. Tons of people coming from the countryside to live in the city. This created the illusion of near limitless demand for homes. But now it's very likely that the Chinese government lied about their population. So the demand for homes can't be as high as expected but on top of that, migration to urban areas has slowed down.

Now a lot of these things have been known for years. And nobody really did anything. So I personally think calling all of this a scam is fair at this point. But the Chinese government could step in and help out their population. If these developers really go bankrupt, the government could just seize all of the empty unsold units and redistribute them to people who got fucked over. It isn't perfect but it's better than not having a house. The big question is just, how many of these units are actually habitable. China has questionable building methods to begin with and on top of that many of the buildings were so empty that there was no money to pay for maintainance. So alot of these homes are death traps. And I suppose no home is better than a death trap.

It sounds good because it sounds like the developers are the ones getting fucked over. But that's not really the case. They already made bank.

Chinas real estate development sector is mostly funded by pre-selling future projects. So the people who bought a unit that now never will be built are the ones truly getting fucked over. And while some of these people are other rich people planning on renting out these units, a big part are just regular people. Only about 25% of the population in China are renting. In some cities the percentage is higher but even in Shanghai and Beijing it's only around 35%.

So a lot of the people who are getting fucked over by this are people who bought their own home that now will never be finished. On the bright side they probably haven't paid the full amount yet but for many their entire lifesaving are still gone and saving up enough money to buy a new home will take a long time.

Sure the developers may lose a lot of net worth because their company isn't worth anything anymore. But they still have way more assets in their possession then they need.
