The post title referenfes the "Nazi bar" problem. Not every feddit user is a raging Zionist, but not banning obviously Zionist users makes it a space not worth belonging to or interacting with. Zionism is a dangerous ideology and it should be kept away from as many people as possible.

For reference, I was living in Germany during the beginning of the war, and my heating bill went from 150€/month to 450€/month, I had to move out of the apartment I rented because I couldn't afford to heat it. Now I live in Spain, electricity prices have remained rather stable for the past 10 years thankfully besides some shocks during cold months, and gas is more expensive but not that big a change because we get gas from northern Africa too, not just from the US.

Nah, you're just eurocentric and believe the myth of the European garden vs the world jungle, whose roots are white supremacy. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a bot, I'm not calling you an Interpol agent.

Post world war 2 , right up until now was the longest period of peace on the continent

Damn, you should totally tell the million Algerians murdered by France leading up to 1962 that Europe was peaceful, maybe nothing would have happened. You should also tell Iraqis about how we totally didn't join the invasion of their country on this very century, Yugoslav people how Europe didn't bomb them, and Libyans that Europe didn't bomb them either

Affordable! Assuming that's 23 days a month, that would amount to some $70

You could have saved yourself a few keystrokes by just typing "no u" instead

My diesel is prominently used in inter-town roads, not in towns themselves, where such pollutants like nitrous oxides affect a much less significant amount of humans. Also, it cost me 2000€ + 1500€ in repairs.

This article is less important for individual consumers (whose fuel usage varies wildly depending on their needs and their routines) but it's extremely important for policy: PHEVs have a very similar climate change result on average than my 2006 diesel car.

Not a badge of honor, I've participated in climate research in my career, I'm fully aware of the pollution issues of Diesel cars regarding particulate matter and nitrous oxides. What do I do about it: I don't drive it in cities. I only use my car for trips that take me between towns that have no solid public transit communication (which is unfortunately the case for many towns near Madrid among each other). The nitrous oxide impact is mostly local and, if you look at NO2 pollution maps, the problem is pretty contained within cities, so driving it far from urban centres has a lot less of an impact. As for climate change effect, it has a similar effect to the average contemporary hybrid cars per the study, and the fact that I bought it used means I'm not stimulating the production of new cars, which produces a ton of emissions, instead I'm spending my money locally fixing the car, which is arguably more sustainable than buying new ones with similar fuel consumption.
