It’s worse than not being done for being cheaper - it’s politically less convenient to let people die. Car infrastructure is many times more expensive than safer alternatives, and far less efficient at moving people.

It’s gotten significantly worse in basically every regard here in Sweden with regards to immigration, unfortunately.

This seems like it could be a fun project. Mind making a post about the build sometime?

Making it less easy to commit suicide actually does help reduce the rates of suicide. Spontaneous ones in particular.

France now gets one week of free pass from banter as a reward for their hard work

The sanctions stay basically only because of Florida having been a battleground state and Cuban immigrants being a significant voting bloc

Partner is also suffering from depression so every freaking time I begged to please turn the tv off, it’s just ended in a 30 minute therapy session at home on how I can improve myself.

That does not seem particularly healthy.

It’s actually worse than lossless being discernable or not on bluetooth - people cannot reliably tell between high-quality compressed audio and lossless audio generally. This has been studied to oblivion - the jury is out, there’s no more discussion to be had on the subject.

Stämmer gott och väl

Trocadero, a soda with orange and apple flavour from Sweden. They released a zero sugar version which is now called Trocazero.

This whole thing is just garbage and should probably be taken down -

• The writing quality is low and looks AI generated
• It doesn’t actually link to a study that agrees with its conclusions
• The one study that was linked shows the following results:
  • More sleep (+27 minutes)
  • Less physical exercise (-50 minutes)
  • Worse diet (reduced amount of calories from protein)
  • Higher alcohol consumption (increased amount of calories from alcohol)
  • “no changes in weight or wellbeing”
  • “however, their impact on health and wellbeing may accumulate over time.”

I don’t think it’s even out of the question that the study actually supports the opposite conclusion, but all of this of course doesn’t matter since there was a massive confounding variable involved in that there was a global pandemic going on during the study.

Critical support for…

…James Comey? 🫠

Fuck being efficient all the time. That’s such a fucking capitalist mindset.

Are you under the impression that a socialist or communist society would not be in the pursuit of efficiency? Think again. They would merely be making sure the efficiency would not come at the cost of the workers, and put the increased efficiency to use in service of the workers (fewer hours etc).

Extremely weird thing to be elitist and off-putting about.

I’m pleasantly surprised to see this cross the threshold. I was kind of not expecting it to, given that it had something like 500k signatures a week ago.

Way to go, everyone!

I’m very happy I started hedging early in my career by saving a very large fraction of my income. Working in tech has been excellent for me, but there’s never been any guarantee that this will last forever. At that point, I will probably be ready to live off my savings, should that become necessary. Then it doesn’t really matter what any market looks like - I will be able to do whatever I feel like during the days.

That’d be likely to be a root cause in that case.

So, to be clear, you get how that’s more than a little bit fucked up, right?

To demonstrate, imagine a deep southern U.S town instituting an English-only policy and aggressively turning away for example Spanish or Arabic-speakers.

This is not something to be celebrated. Ban the thing you actually want to prevent instead of pushing through unmitigated xenophobia.

Losing a significant amount of weight stopped my snoring, and cured my sleep apnea.

It’s hard to lose weight for someone else though, so I’d suggest picking up a pair of comfortable ear plugs and learning to sleep with them.
