I am primarily attributing it to that, especially since it's affecting large parts of europe and also just the fact that it's been a general trend. I just suck at phrasing sometimes.

My main point was really just that 30° in central europe has not been weird in the last 100 years.

Calling it global warming isn't stupid, the globe is warming. It doesn't mean "everywhere is warming" but "the global average is warming".

40 was stupidly high and rare and now it's still stupidly high but less rare and people very much still complain about it, 30 wasn't super rare my entire life and i still complain about anything over 25 lol.

Local weather doesn't mean much anyway, hottest 2 weeks on earth and where I live has been mostly pretty chill with 2 days that were actually hot (and those still only went to like 31). Pretty much the way i remember summer commonly being a while ago.

And just to be clear i am in no way trying to pretend climate change isn't real, it's real and we're all royally fucked, but 30° really isn't anything new and also saying "it was 40 degrees for a week" on its own doesn't really say more than "global warming can't be real it was -10 last week".

All good, text communication with long reply delays is hard. Have a great day!

Oh I fully support discriminating against russia as a country and sanctioning them to hell. That's very different from blaming some random russian living abroad (or even in russia) without knowing anything about their personal stance.

Just because i wouldn't want to live next to israel doesn't mean I have any issues with some random jew living in my country, and frankly the entire train of thought that leads you from jews to immediately mean israel feels like the exact same bullshit as your original argument, I neither mentioned nor implied anything about the country.

G2A isn't more fraudulent than other marketplaces, if someones selling a game for less than any official retailer it's likely to involve fraud. G2A and Kinguin are just the biggest ones.

Regional pricing is the alternative to it being cc fraud, which I'm pretty sure still qualifies as fraud but since the publisher doesn't lose money from it it's kinda whatever. But many games are now region locked and still show up on these sites, I sure wonder why.

It works on OPs work laptop, also on ff. So it's more likely that some combination of parameters which include the browser triggered their anti-bot protection, perhaps due to actual botting activity from a source with similar parameters.

No shit there are issues with capitalism

But they have absolutely nothing to do with this situation

Replace russian with jews and think about how your comment sounds again.

Of course it's not like all russians are against this war, both because of propaganda and the imperialism in the culture (though again that's very perpetuated by propaganda). That doesn't mean all of them support it, the numbers are also definitely not actually 80%, and even if they were 80% i can't put into words how fucked up it is to discriminate against the other 20%, almost 30 million people, just because you perceive the majority as being bad.

My issue with hot weather is that around 25°C i run out of layers to remove to stay comfortable, and I can't even get to that point if I'm anywhere outside my own home because running around naked in public is sadly not socially acceptable. So when temps reach 35 outdoors I just feel like dying as even indoors tends to heat up to >30 if the temps stay for a few days.

The nazis absolutely came first for the communists, as that was literally part of their rise to power, blaming the communists for the Reichtagsbrand and jailing members of the KPD and SPD so they couldn't vote against the proposal to give the NSDAP full control.

Alternatively, the NSDAPs founding program 10 years earlier contained "revocation of the german citizenship of jews" as a main point, though they didn't have the ability to do much at the time.
