  • I grew up in a relaxed (not religiously fanatic) Catholic family. To me it all fell apart at 14, when I dared to critically think about it. Since then I have gathered as many books of the different religions as I could. The Bible was one of the last. I see new religions rising, constructed out of parts of the old ones mixed with new things. I can't see any really structured ones yet. I feel the old religions started pretty much the same. I don't believe in a higher, conscious power. I don't believe we are created, nor that we exist after we die. At most a few generations will remember us, now and then. I don't know any of that with 100% certainty, so that would make me an agnostic atheist I guess. I think we humans need to go for wellbeing, not pure economic/capitalistic metrics. Obviously you'll need a certain amount of money for wellbeing, but I also believe that there is more than enough to go around. It's just that a few take it all and we let them. We must finally take science and knowledge much more seriously. Hefty fines for bribing or forcing scientists and scientists that falsify data. Science it itself doesn't know ethics, so that has to be the human side of it: wellbeing.

  • Putin has his claws into way too many world leaders.

  • I also liked very much what was going on in the beginning, same as you. I don't want to Tesla shame anybody, sorry about that.

  • I prefer connectors to be uniform, so that's the good thing. I just feel the USB C is a bit fragile and not suited for all situations.

  • I often get the feeling that echo chambers seem to exist, is that it's often about one specific topic. It's easier to find a large group that agrees about a fairly narrow aspect then it is to find a large group that agrees about some complex system.

  • The whole world only has one problem: bad leadership.

  • Reddit uninstalled me, after 13 years. Something changed, reddit did, maybe I did, both. But still I hung on. A bad telegraph connection is still better than nothing. I would have hung on a bit longer I guess. I was already a member here, but didn't post much. I can find my way more easy here though, found lots of interesting information.

  • Thanks for this great info! Horrific, though. Assuming that not much has changed in attitudes since that time, you can only wonder what chemicals are harming us all without us knowing it. All this while someone, somewhere, does know.

  • Conservatism has been forcefully on the rise, but something like porn can cause it's downfall. It reminds me of the videotape format wars end 70s, early 80s, with VHS pushing out Betamax due to porn.

  • I don't trust Elon, so I don't trust Tesla. If I would get one for free, I would immediately sell it. I'm not against electric cars in general by the way.

  • My banana is for sale as well. I'll throw in a whole roll of duct tape.
