Sure, you don't have to use cocaine, but all of your students are using cocaine. They'd probably be more engaged if you were a bit more culturally sensitive and also used cocaine.

Come cavolo fate a sopravvivere ai vostri sogni? Solitamente mi sveglio sereno, dimentico di tutto quello che è successo durante la notte e pronto a essere preso a schiaffi dalla giornata in divenire. Ma oggi, perdio, l'inconscio mi ha regalato una traccia lunghissima e dettagliata di tutta la mia attività onirica notturna, lasciandomi stanco, nonostante il lungo sonno, e impanicato per quello che ho trovato dentro di me. Il mio cervello, il posto più inospitale della terra.

@AnarchoNinaWrites In Gemany its not only because we still love Nazis(We do that too) Its also because ALL and I mean ALL political parties aside the AFD are hardcore neoliberal.

I wish i had time for the history of the SPD a 125 year old former marxist worker party thats only slightly to the left of starmer OR the Greens radicals from The 1968 movement that speedran the same development as the SPD :purging themselves of radical elements untill they became a green painted conservative party.1/2

took almost 2 months to arrive from Denmark but it’s finally here and it’s beautiful

also I keep looking at the train loaders and unloaders and going "hehe network packets"

“I don't believe in long-term nuclear waste warning messages” the leader of the nuclear waste storage facility continued. "I subscribe to the philosophy that we should ultimately forget about this place.”

She explained herself quite rationally, saying that any warning sign is at the end of the day a sign. Shutting everything down, not leaving anything to notice behind, except for a landscape indistinguishable from nature, would be ideal. She fantasized about closing it all down and growing green grass on top for a few minutes.

It was also her first time standing here, underground, at the actual site where nuclear waste will be stored, as in her years of managing this facility, often from afar in the name of the federal company for radioactive waste disposal, she was never underground. Unlike all the other people in white suits, she wasn't greeted by any of the workers down here.

She continued saying that no civilization before the industrial revolution was able to dig as deep as this nuclear waste will be stored. Once we were able to dig so deeply, we also had devices that could detect radioactivity. In that regard she stated that “We cannot take responsibility for future civilizations.”

While I see her logic, I disagree. There will be records of this place, no matter how far underground, it will never be indistinguishable from nature. Half of all of Germany's nuclear waste will be driven here. That's tens of thousands of trucks from the entire country with one destination: Salzgitter, Lower-Saxony.

Enough money to solve homelessness multiple times over will be poured into one dot of a place. So close to a city with people remembering and retelling what was here. Especially with its past of mining iron ore, of which only a fraction of a percent has ever been dug out, I cannot believe that humans will leave this place behind, and when they do find it, there will be no message telling them to stop.

Our species has existed for 300,000 years. The first recorded civilization is around 10,000 years old, the burning of the library of Alexandria, which made humanity forget so much of ancient civilization, was not even two thousand years ago, and the dark ages ended 600 years ago. Not even 200 years ago, we still weren't finished with the industrial revolution, and only 80 years ago, one human lifetime, the first nuclear reactor was built. Most of all nuclear waste was produced in the past decades, yet here we are dumping it below the earth's outer crust, and making decisions for a period of time no living being could ever comprehend, only because we valued immediate reward over long term wellbeing.

Most of our history is forgotten, and the history that is known is always perceived through a miopic, contemporary lense. Yet in all we believe to understand about ourselves, no human, be they king or emperor, has ever been as greedy, as self-centered, as reckless as to make a decision for future generations for as long as we've done without even flinching. This underground nuclear waste facility stands as a monument, a time capsule for everything the future needs to know about humanity under capitalism.

The specific clay formation this facility is dug into has not changed within any measurable geological time. It's ideal for long term storage like this, because when closed off without any air gaps, all layers of stone and rubble and dirt artificially re-done, the nuclear waste is supposed to just stay within that blob of clay which was here before the dinosaurs were wiped out, and will be here once we are gone too.

After we've filled it up, there's no place in Germany for the other half of nuclear waste. What reasonable human could suggest continuing the energy production that lead to this waste in the first place, as if it was nothing?

@campuscodi Google: Guys no, it's just our new offering "Local+". It gathers info locally and just "re-localizes" it to another location that is more local to me and my clients, that's all! Nothing remotely fishy (hehe) about this at all!

Glad to hear you are getting better DB! Take it easy and give yourself the time you need to get healthy.

After multiple hours underground, having already met dozens of workers, who spend their days at a job without any sunlight in a grotesque world I could've never imagined, we finally arrived at the actual site where nuclear waste will be stored for millenia. I've seen the many tunnels stretching multiple kilometers in one direction in which the actual barrels and other containers for nuclear material will be put, completely drowned in cement, segment by segment, and then closed off for a time longer than the human species has existed, starting the load up in 2030 until 2070 in the city of Salzgitter, in my state of Lower-Saxony.

This facility will only be able to store half of Germany's low- and mid-tier nuclear waste, only a bit over 300.000m³ of it. While this type of waste makes up for ~95% of all nuclear waste in Germany, it's still less than a percent of total radiation emitted by all nuclear material. The other 99% is emitted by the high-tier nuclear waste, which there currently isn't any solution for storing on planet earth, yet. Don't get confused by the classiciations like “low”, “mid”, and “high”, as there is no international (or even European) standard for classifying nuclear waste. I was told by the leader of the BGE, Germany's federal company for radioactive waste disposal, that there was an attempt to create such a standard at a working group of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency), which she was a part of, but they gave up after just four weeks.

This facility was so deep underground as a rather arbitrary choice, simply because that's how deep the iron miners went when this was an actual mine. The storage facility in France (Le Monge) is only 500 meters deep, in some European countries even less. The advantage of this here is that no ice age or glacier period has ever affected the underground this low (permafrost or thermal penetration doesn't go deeper than 500m). Still, by today's standards for nuclear long term waste storage, a facility like this wouldn't be chosen, not just due to nearby underground water streams potentially breaking in and leaking nuclear waste into one of the largest rivers of Europe, but also because the city formed around the iron mine, and the 40 years of loading nuclear waste down this facility will come with accidents and an increased radiation to the people living here.

The room, if you could call it that, rather the tunnel, the complex where nuclear waste would be stored, was hot. Like Icarus who flew too close to the sun, I wasn't aware that just a kilometer below the earth's crust, we'd reach sweating temperatures of 37°C to even 40°C due to the earth's core emitting its heat.

While the goal of this presentation was for Germany's federal company for radioactive waste disposal (BGE) to convince us that this facility was safe so we'd endorse it in state and federal parliament, maybe even for them to polish their image, there were certain topics they omitted talking about. My favorite topic was one of them: Long-term nuclear waste warning messages.

We were told about how perfect this facility was, how nothing could penetrate it, and in geological time, all the simulations possibly proving otherwise, were misleading, so I asked about the one thing they forgot mentioning: the human element. Just 5000 years ago they built the pyramids, now archeologists rediscover and search through them. With billions going into this facility, won't people finding any record of this place possibly believe humanity's most valuable items to be stored here? Shouldn't we install long-term warning messages for future generations? I asked.

The leader of the facility responded “We cannot take responsibility for future civilizations.”

Standing in the chambers that are built to exist for over two million years, those words sent a shiver down my spine. I realized that this would be our generation's legacy: debt and a broken planet.

Fascism isn't an ideology, it doesn't actually behave like an ideology. The ideology is capitalism; fascism is the tool. If you mistake the hammerer for the hammer, you get the wrong answer.
