morita2342··on Extroverts more likely to resist vaccines, study shows
So, why is this downvoted?

This is the current state of scientific investigation, if you like it or not.

Maybe one of those who has been emotionalised confronted with this information can explain.

morita2342··on Medieval staircases were not built going clockwise for the defender's advantage
It‘s an example of war-centric history writing. Often wondered why history focuses as much on war and other petty fights.

Mh.. neuroscience has won a few medicine nobel prizes for what I would call quite groundbreaking fundamental research.

I've recently looked for ship connections. Next to being surprised that Hamburg had indeed no decent ferry services, it was quite difficult to search for and I had to even contact (via forms) multiple shipping companies.

Maybe someone would like to build a climate-conscious travel search engine that includes all these routes.

I did not only mean from Berlin but from many other cities, particularly other big centres like Munich, Prague, Vienna, Frankfurt. Even Zurich has a direct train to Leipzig. Leipzig has historically been at an excellent location within Europe and still is.

Last time I checked any late evening connections Berlin - Hamburg were quite scarce. Maybe they upped it a bit then. Still, Hamburg being in the far north is not exactly great for travel.

Have you heard about fefe and his following?

You plan arriving at the Congress via freighter ship? :p

Since it is mostly a middle-European event with climate-conscious attendees, most will arrive by train if using any sort of public transport. DBs connections to Hamburg, even from Berlin are abysmal if you compare to Leipzig.

I don’t remember a time when Connewitz wasn’t a popular place for actual Antifa (not just left-leaning) people, and I’ve known Leipzig for over 30 years.

The boom is mostly driven by students and some economy settling due to the convenient transport location. Leipzig is located right at the intersection of two historic major European trade routes after all (via imperii and via regia) - which is, next long-tested fair infrastructure - also a reason why this place was quite a great choice for the Congress. Hamburg is much more cumbersome to reach and commute through.

morita2342··on Richard Stallman reveals he has cancer in the GNU 40 Hacker Meeting talk [video]
On the topic of (long) covid, luckily he apparently is fully vaccinated (judging from the many times he wrote about the vaccine and mandates in his blog), so he likely won’t catch the new strands in the process of recovery or be in any danger of long covid.
morita2342··on How did American “wokeness” jump from elite schools to everyday life?
Depending on how much your surroundings insist on putting labels and associated limitations based on what is between your legs on you during growing up; the puberty experience of one half of society can be more awful. This may also get reflected in current numbers of transmen vs transwomen. A transition is an extreme decision taken based on an unbearable amount of such psychological pain.

Wondering what started the labeling too though, I’ve also been teached the value of individualism and fended off any label applied to me.. maybe it’s about realizing that most people out there want to apply labels, so a response to their rigid labels is coming up with unlimited new labels.
