  • The tariffs are being paid by Americans. Why is that a surprise?

  • The older I get the less I am able to make use of the concept of punishment or even (lasting) guilt. I mean what is even the point of punishing? It just adds more misery on top.

    Don't get me wrong: It is necessary to reflect on the bad things one did. But I do not feel like guilt and shame create an environment that promotes this behaviour.

  • How much money did you save up and what monthly costs of living are you expecting? Would love to hear more about your situation!

  • Petition für (Wieder-)Einführung einer Vermögenssteuer

  • Besteuert würde das Vermögen, nicht der Gewinn. Der Gewinn fließt nicht automatisch in das zu besteuernde Vermögen.

  • So the sun have been a giant one-directional LED all along?

  • Y'all forgetting they were gathering period data and were arresting women who had 'abortion-like' procedures?

    Jump

  • I feel like the tumblr post is aimed primarily at hormonal birth control and the like. This is what I had in mind writing my comment at least. I am not arguing in support of not using any birth control at all. The simplest and not much less safe method are condoms. Easy to use and basically no side effects.

  • Sure, the general "birth control is bad for you" message is not optimal. But the root of this misinformation are insights about the side effects coming up more or less recently. iirc one third to half of all women on hormonal birth control experience major side effects like headaches, nausea or mood changes. I can see how these significant findings combined with patriarchy awareness and associated anger led to exaggerated messages.

    Nonetheless, I think people thinking more critically about birth control is a good thing as one should always consider both benefits and risks.

    Edit: Or did I misread this post? If so, I'm very sorry...

  • Sell consulting services. Doesn't matter if you're right or wrong, what matters is that you're paid.

    Jump

  • Why are consulting companies so successful? Is it all connections? Their role in appeasing investors by external intervention and change (no matter how useful)?

  • Thanks for clarifying! I initially thought of D&D

  • Idk, people can be and are spectacularly amazing too. So maybe do open the door or at least have a little peak?

  • I am not sure, if memes alone contain enough information. When I do not understand an interesting meme, I look it up, so I learn from the context consisting of news (at least indirectly) not the meme itself.

  • I had a somewhat similar experience. Two years ago, I stopped playing video games when I noticed, I only did it by habit not because I enjoyed it so much. I remembered reading a lot when I was younger, so I picked it up again to fill my evenings.

    It was hard at first. I wasn't used to focus my attention like this anymore. But as you said, I learned to be patient over time. Now, I look forward to continuing my book every day! It is a great hobby to calm down and relax. As a side effect, my language skills (not english) improved a lot.

    Capitalism is the root of evil

    Jump

  • With these measures, there won't be a free market, which means the creation of value will be regulated. I don't see why you would call it capitalism.

  • Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.

    Jump

  • But isn't the government hosting something like reddit better than the current state? The government is elected after all, while reddit isn't. At the same time, nothing ensures, reddit isn't used for propaganda.

  • They're on a path to making things better than the US and once they do, we'll have a new world order. If the US doesn't wake up now, the second half of this century will be very different than the past 150 years.

    What are you thinking of?

  • I get the reference, but this assassination will indeed lead to CEOs taking more safety precautions. As much as it might feel like a relief, another guy will just fill the position and nothing will change. It's just a warning to the richest, that they need to be more careful, f. i., need to manipulate public opinions even more. Perhaps the health insurance companies will make more of an effort to keep their internal processes secret.

    Or am I missing something?

  • Do you drink a lot of coffee?

    Jump

  • This is why I hate this stuff. I hate people joking about how much coffee they're drinking because they have so much work to do and don't get to sleep. Meanwhile, every coffee joke sounds like this to me.
