  • What are you going to do today?

  • My 2 cents:

    • I think that saying was about democracy, not capitalism
    • Bear in mind that US is a capitalist lunapark. Most developed countries understood that social policies are absolutely necessary for people, even though we could call those countries a "capitalist country" or countries "based on capitalism". Just saying that don't take what's happenning in the US as a base because it's not
    • If we're about to start to brainstorm about different systems - bear in mind that (not all but many) people are greedy, proud, jealous and sometimes assholes. And personally, I have a really hard time to design a system that would handle all those wonderful human treats in some decent way

    P.S. I was born in socialist Czechoslovakia and its goal was noble but ... it's amazing to watch human greed and jealousy to take over a system like socialism

  • Sure Sputnik, sure

  • But I can buy anything with fiat curency and with bitcoin I can basically buy nothing. And I never will be able probably, bitcoin is too slow to be used as an actual curency to buy common things like groceries

  • Why waste time like this? Wouldn't it be better if cinemas would use vertical screens where a popular youtuber would describe the plot of the movie in like 30 seconds while talking at 2x speed?

  • The opposite, I always sleep with blanket on even if I don't want to. In summer I fall asleep with blanket on my side and wake up fully covered in blanket. And sweating like a pig

  • This is fake, no one can code like that

  • rinse

    Jump
  • Hey! I'm not balls!

    (also Pebis?)

  • Because Arch is at best comparable to sport fandom, at worst to religious cult. And fans/cultists do these kinds of things

  • TIL people don't know about rosetta stone. My mom loves ancient Egypt so information like this was my "daily bread" when I was little, never realized that this isn't common

  • There're still older Civilizations I haven't played so I'm not worried

  • I initially saw that number on a Facebook post and when I checked the source [1] it also mentioned the 15 billion figure so I went with it. Looking at it closely, the author did some "creative" math to get that number

    His total take home amounted to five times the earnings of the highest paid provincial governors over a similar period—enough to provide grain for the entire city of Rome for one year, or to pay all the ordinary soldiers of the Roman Army at the height of its imperial reach for a fifth of a year. By today’s standards that last figure, assuming the apt comparison is what it takes to pay the wages of the American armed forces for the same period, would cash out to about $15 billion

    Good catch, I should read the sources better and don't trust the Facebook (especially the Facebook)

  • Syr

  • What? I-I don't understand what ... what does ... miss, can you open the door please?

  • Maybe it helps that Germans have a more relaxed relationship with nudity.

    Yeah I guess that helps :) I'm pretty shy, I don't want anyone besides my wife to see my ding-a-ling

  • No, I'm from Slovakia.

    I don't know, it just feels weird that everytime I want to leave the room I need to first put on clothes. Like going for bathroom or have a glass of water (providing I live in an appartment with other people). Or even in the morning it feels weird, I sleep in my pyjamas so I usually wake up, have a breakfast, a cofee and only then I dress up for work. But I'm not saying which way is better, it's just weird to me.

    And kids are a completely separate category where they can wake you up at any moment or you need to jump out of the bed to solve an emergency

  • People who say 20, I'm not judging you but I just can't imagine that

    • I grew up in small (tiny) appartment with my parrents and sharing room with my siblings
    • Then on college living in a room with 2 other people
    • Then renting an appartment with other people
    • Then owning an appartment with my gf
    • Then having kids

    Besides that small window of having an appartment just for me and my gf, I just can't imagine sleeping naked

  • for as long as I can remember

    Wow, even when you were kid? Or teenager? I grew up in small appartment so I can't imagine that.

    And afterwards were you always living alone?
