Extra Fabulous Comics

Decided to take the initiative with my crush. I asked him if he wanted to come over tonight so I could give him a massage and we could talk about us. He was very enthusiastic and said he wouldn’t miss it. Now I have to go buy massage oil after class because this was kind of a heat-of-the-moment idea…

Now, you might think I’m dumb or clueless, but I’ve only had one boyfriend in my life (from sophomore to senior year of high school), and he took the lead from the very beginning. So this whole approach is a first for me. Very excited for tonight.

[Original in German. This is an automated translation with minimal translation.]

In October 2024, a student from China living in Zurich, Switzerland, attacked toddlers on their way to daycare with a knife, injuring three children. He said that he felt unaccepted by Swiss society and wanted revenge.

An event at Zurich's University promoting Taiwan's freedoms and independence was part of his motive to turn violent. He purposefully chose the National holiday of China for his crime.

...

The Chinese came to Zurich in August 2023 as a master student in Computer Linguistics ... Initially, he was happy on Instagram about the beautiful sides of Switzerland. In September 2024, the tone of his contributions tilted. He was outraged by an occasion at the University of Zurich on the sovereignty of Taiwan and wrote, "Shame on Taiwan’s independence. Taiwan belongs to China."

Minutes before the fact, he published a post in which he first adored a woman and then sexually degraded her. He loves them as fervently as the Chinese Communist Party. He underlined the text with patriotic marching music.

He wished his compatriots a beautiful Chinese national holiday. He chose this day for his deed in Zurich.

...

According to the public prosecutor’s office, he felt disrespected and increasingly unhappy in Switzerland. He had acted out of "mere vindictiveness" and "ideological delusion". He had wanted to shock and unsettle Swiss society.

...

The public prosecutor emphasizes the minute planning of the crime.

The young Chinese ordered a set of knives, studied anatomical representations and practiced knife stitches on a piece of beef.

...

How often are Chinese accused?

Very rarely. The crime rate of the Chinese resident population in Switzerland is lower than that of the Swiss population. Last year, police charged 0.13 percent of Chinese nationals with a violent crime. For the Swiss, the figure was 0.15 percent.

What does the court have to decide?

The accused has confessed. The court must clarify whether he was able to control his actions despite the psychotic disorder. Was he full, diminished or not at all guilty? The punishment and a therapeutic measure depend on this.

Hello! I have a question!

I've been just skimming about Carbon Capture and Sequestration, and how scientists research naturally occurring CCS as it pertains to photosynthesis in plants.

I wanted to ask what sort of discoveries have been made in this area! It seems really interesting. I wonder what research is being done to maybe combat climate change through bio-engineering, like, really really carbon-hungry plants? Or maybe Reforestation efforts in order to make big forests that eat up carbon!

In addition, I'm wondering if we've seen any natural reaction to climate change in this area. Part of my (rudimentary) understanding of natural adaptation is that we will sometimes see things adapt to the circumstances that humans have caused, like the new fungus that eats radiation in Chernobyl, or new microbes that eat plastic that we've seen.

Have we seen any sort of natural reaction to increased carbon in the atmosphere? Have we seen any cool plants or little fellas evolve to munch carbon more effectively? Or maybe we've seen much faster growth or bigger plants on average because there's so much carbon for them?

I'm just kinda in an excited mood and wanted to ask about cool stuff. Please share all your cool stuff.

Maybe I try to host bad software, maybe I am just bad at computing but at this point I feel like I'm getting too old to constantly debug various issues. I just want certain things to work and I'm willing to pay the price for it 😮‍💨

Some cool facts about Denmark. Don't take the title so seriously ;).

Denmark has given the highest proportion of its GDP to Ukraine since 2022.

<..>

In How To Be Danish, Patrick Kingsley wrote about Denmark’s 70 folk high schools, which are attended by about one in ten adults, of all ages. Indeed it’s not uncommon for people to die of old age while enrolled, which Danes apparently consider a good death. Perhaps there is some sort of social democracy version of Valhalla where those who died in the middle of adult education go to.

The Folk High School was the brainchild of Danish national hero Nikolai Grundtvig, who coined the concept of folkelighed, or what historian Knud Jespersen called ‘mutually committed community’. Jespersen wrote in A History of Denmark that ‘The key concepts in this were folkelighed, tolerance, openness and liberal-mindedness: the means were enlightenment and committed dialogue.’

<...>

Denmark also had the highest casualty rate among American allies in Afghanistan, losing 43 servicemen in the war to avenge 9/11.

<...>

The secret to Denmark’s success is their high trust and sociability, and Booth also wrote how, ‘according to the Danish think tank Mandag Morgen, they belong to more associations, clubs, unions, societies and groups, and have larger social networks, than any other nationality – 43 per cent of over-sixteens belong to something or other… There are 83,000 local and 3,000 national societies and associations in Denmark – on average every Dane belongs to three. Over a third belong to a sporting club or association. These range from your common-or-garden leisure-orientated groups – the Bittern Spotters Club, say, or the Danish Flødeboller Association – to the still-powerful trade unions, which have a combined membership equivalent to a quarter of the population.’
