  • anti-north-northeast doesn't sound unreasonable, but that's being logical instead of just thinking about two directions, as written in text, as OP is

  • It is, but you need to balance your life towards it by minimising the amount of time you waste, which is not to be confused with time spent relaxing.

    If you can cycle to work, or work on a hobby/side projects while on public transit to work, that time is no longer wasted.

    If you have hobbies near where you live or where you work, you'll be spending less time going to or from your hobbies and more time doing them.

    If you need to/are prescribed them, take stimulants, anti-depressants, or sleeping pills, because otherwise you'll take longer not doing things and have less energy for the things you actually want to do.

  • The Beatles and Rolling Stones are somewhat different in that they did a lot of defining what a band was in terms of festival culture, band member popularity, and publicity management. They were doing it in the early 60s, then all the copycat slop like Eagles came along in the 70s and 80s.

  • That's not even Japan, any European country has that as standard on showers

  • Elon is one thing, but the Grok developers have recently done a surprisingly good job at making it neutral and unbiased in matters of opinion, but also allowing it to tell people they're wrong in matters of fact, which is why there's so many screenshots around of conspiracy theorists getting shut down by it.

    I can't say whether this will be the same, but if the devs take "without bias" to actually mean "without bias," rather than what Elon intends it to mean, it could actually be somewhat useful to filter out obvious promotional content and any small levels of bias.

  • Nice to meet you, from a new resident of Switzerland/Ireland/Iceland/Colorado

  • Seattle, Portland, Atlanta and Denver famously being uninhabited wasteland right?

  • "Inspired word of God" differs by denomination though right?

    I could be wrong, but I thought some viewed it as the exact word of God, others as the word of God as interpreted by the prophets

  • Counterpoint: London.

    It's easy to complain, with it being £2.80/$3.70 for a single zone peak single, the frequent strikes, the noise, etc. but the trains are at worst every 5 minutes or so, they have the most frequent rail service in the world (Victoria Line), they're constantly making improvements (Elizabeth Line, Battersea extension), it has fairly good coverage (when including national rail for south London), overnight service, and the busses are absolutely amazing.

    Is it on par with Seoul & Singapore? No. But it's certainly significantly better than most cities worldwide.

  • Or they just don't know if they'll want to raise children later...

    Sure you could say they should adopt, but they may see some value in the experience of supporting their partner as they go through childbirth in forming a bond to the child.

  • Germany

  • The flags are the nationalities, he gave germany as an answer

  • that's the joke

  • Same energy as "how can you claim to be tolerant if you don't tolerate fascism"

  • I went to four different cities in China and at least a significant proportion of people seemed very selfish and out for themselves across the board, I'm not going to say never but it's definitely at the bottom of my list of places to return to.

  • I don't know how it was the tankies who got triggered

    Answer's right there, getting triggered is a hobby for a lot of tankies.

  • I don't think the average American has opinions on the French Revolution.

    Sure, a proportion of people will do, but it's going to be a long way from the majority. You need either strong feelings or a depth of knowledge to form an opinion, but even as a nerd with plenty of opinions on a lot of modern and historical things, my perception is just that Britain spent a lot of money defending the colony and tried to recoup some of it in taxes, people didn't like that so made obviously infeasible demands in response, Britain responded with suppression and violence against those making the demands, then they were officially at war but in reality did very little for a good few years, then the US managed to persuade the French to join their side and won as a result. Nothing really beyond that, so the average person will likely know next to nothing.

  • I don't think it's ok.

    I think it's not the state's job to dictate whether people can do it. I have the exact same opinion for cheating.

  • Yeah nah.

    People (normal people) like having their messages, facebook comments, whatever else coming up somewhere even more accessible than their phone in their pocket.

  • It depends how you define "racial hate" and how you define mental or social harm. I also do mean social harm, not societal, meaning to catch things like sunset communities (ie restricting where people can live, or where they can go), rather than "society is worse off because of people's opinions."

    Again, in my opinion, it depends on intent. If you make a post on your blog with 200 followers saying "I'm tired of X race moving to my city," I don't think that should be illegal, even if it is disgusting behaviour. If you post it to (eg) a community group for those people, I'd say it should be illegal.

    That said, I'm very liberal on policing, so believe that the state shouldn't be responsible for policing morality, which people may not like when they realise it involves making things that are pretty much objectively immoral legal, regardless of what they are.
