Or staying up longer than you should… or looking at screens too long… or…

Oy, no need to call me out like that... I should turn off my phone.

Truly a man of culture.

I agree with the comic. I do however disagree with the title. I think the Hamas' attack shouldn't to be called "resistance", just as Israel's response shouldn't be called "self defense".

Well, if you don't care if either party wins, vote third party. However, if you really dislike the idea of one party winning over the other, despite hating both, you should really think about how that vote is actually going to affect the future.

That's not the way it should be, but that's the way it is.

Depends on the voting system tbf. In FPTP, unless one party is extremely unpopular, it often supports your political opponents when you vote third party.

The issue being that of those 17 nuclear plants, the youngest was completed over 30 years before Fukushima. Germany had stopped construction of new nuclear plants way before 2011.

I agree they shouldn't have closed ones already built of course. That was indeed a knee jerk reaction.

It takes only 5 years to build a nuclear power plant, (...)

I agree with most of the comment, but this is just an oversimplification. I'm sure that you can build a nuclear power plant in 5 years, if you have the requisite infrastructure, engineers and knowledge. Germany did not have any of those in sufficient amount to build anywhere near enough nuclear reactors between the decision to switch to coal & gas in around 2011 and the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Even France wouldn't be capable of that in such a short amount of time.

Had they made that decision 30 years ago, sure, but in such short time? No way.
