  • Nato summit: Ukraine on 'irreversible path' to membership

    Jump

  • To be fair, I only joined .ml because .world wasn't a thing when I joined and srlpnk and a few others had closed registrations at that time

  • Microsoft is reportedly banning Palestinians in the U.S. for life for calling relatives in Gaza

  • AllYouPlay and another online game store wouldn't let me register with a protonmail address

  • There were 2 online game stores that wouldn't allow me to register with a protonmail account, AllYouPlay and another one that I can't recall, which was weird to me

  • Some sites and services won't accept accounts with e-mails outside of the mainstream ones though.

  • I usually browse by all, but you're right, I've seen people defending them. Though thinking they would be saints if they had the power is insane to me.

    Hexbear and Lemmygrad though, have incredibly weird takes to me, especially on Ukraine.

  • Wait, people actually think Russia or China would be any different of they had the US' influence? That's crazy. It's like folks never heard that quote that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

    Any country that ends up with that amount of influence will inevitably resort to bs to maintain that power, even if it was a harmless, pacifistic country like Switzerland.

  • How do I make enough money to live?

    Jump

  • I think that's a mindset issue. If you come at it with "I won't be able to learn this, I'm too stupid", you won't give it your all and you will self sabotage. Besides, nobody is just stupid. You aren't stupud either! Read up on intelligence types and you will certainly feel like one of those is yours, even if it's not academic intelligence. Don't give up!

  • Get in the Hilux

    Jump

  • Everything that needs to be done for society to maintain itself can be done if everyone works 20 hrs a week. The rest is just to allow some other people luxury lifestyles.

    Jump

  • You are not only working to mentain a functional society, you are also working to constantly grow it (each year more stuff must be made, more money must be earned, more of everything) it and also to create a very big surplus for the rich. We also burn perfectly edible food, ruin perfectly wearable clothing and make electronic devices that intentionally break in a few years to get you to buy another one sooner just to get the 1% more money. If we didn't do all that and they lived normal, non-luxury lives, everyone would have a lot more free time. If everyone worked only 20 hours a week, we'd make enough to sustain our society.

  • Do you know any singleplayer games that are infinitely replayable?

  • Electronics in Eastern Europe are generally more expensive than Western Europe or the USA since the supply chains are longer. You can find stuff in Germany at 60-80% of what it costs in my country, but your price is outrageous and most likely some sort of scam

  • What generation are you?

    Jump

  • Same, and it's honestly a little refreshing

  • When is it "enough" money?

    Jump

  • Epicureanism teaches that you will never have enough money, enough fame, enough influence, so chasing after those will never make you happy. Instead, you should focus on fulfilling your needs and fixing problems in your life, getting enough to eat, enough sleep, surrounding yourself with friends and enjoying the small things in life. When you're unburdened by needs, you reach long-lasting happiness.

    So to me, that means earning enough to fulfill your needs is enough, especially if you don't have to worry about losing your job any time soon

  • After Supreme Court immunity ruling, Biden draws sharp contrast with Trump on obeying rule of law

    Jump

  • As an outsider looking at American politics right now, I don't see you getting out of a dictatorship and civil war without a lot of realpolitik from the democrats. Assassination may be extreme and strategically unsound for the dems (making Trump a martyr), but as I understand it, it would be feasible to, for example, add 10 more people to the SC, wouldn't it? Or change electoral laws to make it so convicted felons can't run for office? Maybe changing first past the post and abolishing the electoral college? I admit I am fairly ignorant of the American system, but wouldn't those be achievable to Biden if he set his mind to it and damned the consequences (since he can't be prosecuted for those anyways?)

  • Do you have a ghoti-ing licence for that joke? Wild ghoti must be preserved, you know!

  • EU attempt to sneak through new encryption-eroding law slammed by Signal, politicians

    Jump

  • As someone who doesn't know much about China aside from the high competitiveness of their academic environment, I'm curious as to what sort of issues your friends face due to surveillance? Does it affect their day to day lives? Or does it just foster an atmosphere of "be careful what you say"?

  • Majority of Japanese support government-run dating apps

    Jump

  • I would legit use it. For-profit dating sites suck

  • I mean it.

  • I think non-militarized cops, so most non-American ones, are not that bad and are generally more decent people than militarized cops. It's amazing how much better policing can be when cops don't carry guns with them all the time

  • If you didn't have to work, how would you spend your time?

    Jump

  • I think many people say stuff like that, and indeed they would for a few months, but after a while people would look for stuff to do, and they tend to turn towards volunteering. That fulfills both daily structure and socialization. Do you think that's something you would eventually do in that case as well?
