"Vamos a la playa" by Righeira is about a nuclear catastrophe, but if you don't speak spanish, you are likely to assume it's just a good vibes summer song about going to the beach.

When I buy something made in the country, I know that the workers had a certain protection, minimum wage, social security and that stuff. Sure I can buy these things a lot cheaper from other countries where workers are exploited more, but I think it is worth considering who you support through your purchase.
Also, stuff produced locally doesn't travel as far, which is also worth considering from an environmental perspective.
Technological progress reduces the amount of work required to perform certain tasks. In any just system, this would improve the lives of the general population, either by reducing the amount of work required to make a living, or by increasing the amount and range of products and services.
If technological progress does not do that, and instead makes the rich richer and the poor poorer, the problem isn't technological progress, but the system in which it is applied.
So what I'm saying is this: AI isn't the problem. AI replacing employees isn't the problem. The problem is that with a class divide into investors and workers, the ones profiting the most from technological progress are the investors.
I compared these numbers to the general population (Source: https://www.wahlrecht.de/umfragen/ )
Support for the far right AfD is about 5 percentage points lower than among the general population (12% vs 17%)
For the conservative CDU/CSU it is 10 pp lower (20% vs 30%)
For the Social Democrats it is 3 pp lower (12% vs 15%)
For the liberal FDP it is 4 pp higher (8% vs 4%)
For the Greens it is about 4 pp higher (18% vs 14%)
For the Wagenknecht alliance, a weird mix of far right and far left, it is about the same (5%)
Unfortunately this article doesn't mention the socialist left, which for the general population sits at around 3%
So, to conclude (and from my own experience) youths in Germany don't deviate that much from the general population in terms of their political views. They tend to be less conservative and xenophobic. Most of them are somewhere in the center, having slightly more liberal tendencies than the general population.
Most spiders.
Octopi are mostly solitary I think.
What do you mean by boundary? You mean the difference between being friends with someone and being friendly with someone? I don't think there is a hard boundary, it's a pretty fluid transition.
With π=5 maths break down completely. If π=5, then e^(5i) = -1, meaning -1 = cos(5) + i * sin(5), or -1 ≈ 0.284 - 0.959 i
I think I can kinda understand where your friend is coming from. I don't know how long y'all haven't talked, but if a friend I haven't seen in a decade suddenly decided to become part of my life as soon as I had a child, I'd think that's mighty sus.
This isn't about gender, my point would still stand if transgender people didn't exist and he/him and she/her were all the pronouns we had. It is about identity, which parts of it we focus on, and how much information we subliminally reveal or require each time we talk about someone.
Gender is just a small part of identity, yet it is arbitrarily the one thing dominating and determining pronouns in the english language (and many others of course).
But I don't feel like arguing any further, maybe you don't understand, or maybe you just don't even read what I'm saying.
But here's an idea: How about you come up with some arguments instead of lazily referring to some perceived authority?
If there was a way, there'd be huge corporations offering it as a service.
