  • What is one relatively unknown thing that your country does much better than elsewhere, but that most people don't know about?

    Jump

  • @DrunkenPirate

    I prefer the easy way of living.

    There is no such thing as "easy way of living".

    Renewables suck at energy density, predictability and control.

    Nuclear gives you all three.

    Also, look into the solar panel manufacturing costs to the environment.

    Of course, renewables are a must. But by dismantling nuclear you kneecapped yourselves, guys, big time.

  • Did the recent Linux drama change your views on how you perceived Open Source projects?

    Jump

  • @ArtemisMystique No.

    It changed my view on how true to their ideas some people are.

  • Why are so many Pro-Palestine (I am pro-Palestine and anti-genocide) Americans refusing to vote for Harris due to her stance on Israel?

  • @jatone Every video and every model will be overly simplistic when applied to any reality. Every abstraction is a leaky abstraction.

  • what addiction have you kicked? no matter how insignificant you feel it was

    Jump

  • @tilefan That's weird, it's not that I'm purposefully get rid of addictions, I just kinda... lose interest.

    I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. I also used to drink a lot. I don't mind a cigarette or a beer or a shot every now and then, if the mood is right and the company is fine, but doing it every single day? Nah.

    How do you make someone understand that being drafted by force and ordered to invade another country is not a good thing?

    Jump

  • @InternetUser2012 I am Russian. Believe me when I say: most of us perfectly know what's going on.

    We're just scared. That's it.

  • Do you think the world would have been a better place if there were no religions?

    Jump

  • @Shelbyeileen I have a pet theory, that religion is basically a hardware vulnerability exploitation. Vulnerability being "we can't comprehend death, physically". Because trying to reconstruct non-existence in our world model causes division by zero, and everything breaks because you can't divide by zero and have meaningful results. So in order to avoid it, your brain bends its model of reality, starts telling itself fairy tales about the supernatural world, redefines death as "transformation", and basically bullshits itself into avoiding facing the inevitable.

    Even if we found out complete proof for what actually happens when you die and after death

    We have. Your consciousness just shuts down forever. You're a mortician, you would know. We just can't grapple with it.

  • What is an underrated/forgotten video game that you think deserved a second chance?

    Jump

  • @Aganim The original Deus Ex also. Its story was brilliant and prophetic in a lot of ways.

    As an example of a game, that actually got its second chance: the original Half-Life. Black Mesa is brilliant. I wish, other old games like Unreal and Deus Ex would have got a remake like that.

  • What is the point of cruel and deadly border policies if employers could just be penalized for hiring unauthorized labor all along?

    Jump

  • @rimu I don't think it's without reason though.

    Don't forget that fascism is what capitalism degenerates into.

    So, follow the money, seek the ones who profit. Fascists themselves are irrelevant, they are basically useful idiots. Look out for those who feed those idiots.
