EU Explores Ways of Acting More Quickly on Foreign Policy
A group of a dozen countries has looked into unexplored legal possibilities to proceed by qualified majority instead of unanimity, according to a document seen by Bloomberg that was circulated to member states ahead of an informal gathering of EU foreign ministers on Saturday in Copenhagen.
It's about time. If all fails, a "New European Union" could be set up, almost duplicating the "old" one, into which almost all current members could smoothly transition. The main difference between old and new would be the loss of the unanimity constraints.
un libro que aporta numerosos estudios científicos que corroboran la tesis que cuestiona el artículo es El valor de la atención, de Johann Hari.
Como dato a tener en cuenta: desde que los médicos empezaron a identificar el efecto perjudicial del tabaco en la salud en pacientes concretos, hasta que se aportaron pruebas irrefutables y universales de que el tabaco era malo para la salud, pasaron más de cincuenta años.
Los cincuenta que aprovechó la industria tabacalera para campar a sus anchas.
Por supuesto, no hay datos a largo plazo sobre el efecto en la salud de tecnologías tan recientes, y por tanto ningún estudio científico puede demostrar una cosa ni la contraria.
Igualmente, yo personalmente prefiero desligarme del debate del (mal) uso de las nuevas tecnologías como un asunto (solo) de salud.
Prefiero preguntarme si son buenas para mi libertad, auto concepto, desarrollo, relaciones sociales, ideología, comportamiento ético, sentido vital, sensibilidad… Me gusta más un enfoque crítico más humanista, más social y filosófico.
'Heart disease is the world’s biggest killer—and it often strikes without warning. It’s responsible for around 1 in 5 deaths in the US. While these figures are deeply worrying, heart disease is not inevitable.
Decades of research have unearthed many of the risk factors associated with heart health, like poor diet or a sedentary lifestyle.'

The image features a bright yellow background with a smooth, curved design element in the upper right corner. In the center, the word "ZOE" is prominently displayed in large, white, bold letters. Below "ZOE," the text "Science + Nutrition" is written in a smaller, elegant, black serif font. The overall design is simple and modern, with a focus on the text, which suggests a connection to science and nutrition.

The WYSIWYG website hides some playful easter eggs evoking visual interfaces: toggle a grid, switch background colors, or drag elements of the page. Its logo pays tribute to the early Macintosh, set in Chicago by Susan Kare. I had a lot of fun making this website.

Viel zu viele Erwerbstätige arbeiten in nur einem oder gerade mal zwei Jobs und legen dann die Hände in den Schoß. So werden die Wachstumsraten der Vermögen Superreicher im internationalen Vergleich niemals mithalten können. Für eine ausreichende Produktivität ist es alternativlos, dass ALLE Plebejer in mindestens drei Jobs arbeiten. Was Deutschland braucht, ist ein Trend zum Drittjob! Eine Senkung der Löhne und Gehälter schafft hier das richtige Incentive! Flankiert werden sollte dies durch eine höhere Besteuerung gerade niedrigerer Einkommen. Die für monatlich gerade mal € 2000-3000,- arbeiten, die muss man auch mal fragen dürfen, warum sie nicht 70, 80% ihres Einkommens abgeben, damit von den paar jämmerlichen Kröten auch was beim Fiskus ankommt. Dieser schamlose Egoismus der unteren und mittleren Einkommen ist nicht länger finanzierbar und muss ein Ende haben.

Hey, dipshit! You know what loads faster than your bloated, overengineered mess? Plain, unadulterated HTML. And you know what doesn't break every motherfucking Tuesday? HTML that just fucking works. Why the fuck are you overcomplicating things, you masochistic fuck? You're out here acting like you're building the next goddamn moon landing when all you need is a button and some text.
Newsflash, asshole: the web was doing just fine before your bloated frameworks crawled out of the sewer. You're out here dropping ten grand on some fancy-ass framework like it's a Gucci purse, just to haul around the same shitty groceries you could've carried in a plastic bag from 1995. Why the hell are you jumping through all these hoops when HTML's been sitting there, ready to go, since the dawn of the goddamn internet?
What's a new skill you picked up recently to combat #brainrot ?
"brain rot (n.) the supposed deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as the result of overconsumption of material (now particularly online content) considered to be trivial or unchallenging. Also: something characterized as likely to lead to such deterioration." (Oxford Dictionary).
This was word of the year in 2024.[1] Now in 2025 with more and more #GenAI assisted tasks, this becomes even worse, as a study suggests.
[2]It is not surprising; in tech we know something called #TutorialHell which discribes the state where you just follow along tutorials believing that you are learning somehting, but as soon as you need to solve a problem yourself, you realize that even after hours of tutorials you can't, because you actually never learned anything, even though you did everything by the letter.
I realized in ~2016, that I've been working in tech for over 10 years, and being so into it, that even for non-tech tasks I would think like I would when programming something and be even surprised if others did not. That was the moment, where I feared becoming what in Germany we call #Fachidiot (i.e. a one-track genious, that's an idiot in everything else).
To combat this, I picked up #日本語 (#Japanese). Just because I found it a real hard challenge. I think, doing something like this is essential: Learn something new, you've never done: a language, an instrument, a motor skill, or - if that is not your field - programming. Important is, that it get's you into doing something completely new, to animate your brain. Because, as it is well known: The brain works like a muscle: The more you use it, the better your mental and intellectual state gets - the less you use it, the more it deteriorates. And with the temptations of our modern world ( #socialmedia #GenAI #workoverload #populism #shorts #doomscrolling etc.) this has become more important than ever.
Auch an alle, die gerade beim #CSDZwickau dabei sind
Danke, dass ihr heute für die Rechte queerer Menschen einsteht. Auch trotz oder gerade wegen all der Rechtsextremen, die sicherlich wieder versuchen werden eure Demonstration für Menschlichkeit zu stören.
