  • Hahaha i had a friend that always said "If i wait long enough, eventually someone will take charge and make choices, so I don't have to!"

  • The only vegan people i know are the most lovely, smiling, and funny people. I only know they are vegans because insufferable conservatives are complaining about them being vegans.

  • I would love to self host a real debrid service where i can control what i pre-download using the "my library" feature, something similar to the *arr suite but only using the stremio interface.

  • Here as well security forces tend to act as violent bullies while facing no consequences... I think we have a four letter acronym for that as well.

  • "doing your chores" is a sedentary live problem where people stay at the same place long enough that their traces are not erased naturally.

    ADHD is the perfect mindset for a nomadic society. Stay to long at the same place (and risk ravaging its ressources)? No problem, you'll get bored before that happens and seek a new place!

    Sedantarity and land owning is a problem to nomadic people everywhere 😁 Of course this is no longer valid in an overcrowded world like ours.

  • Mines are designated war crimes by the Geneva convention Ottawa treaty because of the indiscriminate killing. Many years ago, good human right lawyers could have extended that to drones... (Source: i had close friends in international law)

    But i feel like now the tides have changed and tech companies have influenced the general population to think that ai is good enough to prevent "indiscriminate" killing.

    Edit: fixed the treaty name, thanks!

  • There's a chapter in uncle Bob's book Clean Code about how everybody dreams of a grand redesign in the sky, but that it never really works out in the end.

    I'm sure the same would apply to laws of society.

  • If you purchase used musical instruments, you can usually sell them years later with very little devaluation! Same thing applies for lots of watersports gear and Legos!

    Try to get into these types of hobbies, they're financially responsible 😁

  • Is it actually ethically acceptable to control distribution of something that naturally shares itself?

    Before computers, it actually required some energy to copy the content of a book. With computers now, the action of reading an ebook will actually copy it from the hard drive to the ram. If your book is on the cloud, there's even more copying going on. It actually takes more efforts to erase temporary copies (ex: from local cache)!

    Digital copying is not the same as physical copying.

  • Instead of gold versions, rich people will get inconel-pannel cybertrucks!

  • He suggested solutions like drivers keeping the same car for longer periods of time

    That's what i have been doing... Is that wrong, or just too much anti-consumerism to be presented as a good thing in our society?

  • They're both free, you don't have to choose and can have them both! Not everything needs to be compared and ranked.

  • I agree regarding closet, but I believe most people have a skeleton inside their meatbag.

  • That was not an article, it was just a list of overreactions by right-wing personalities.

  • Did you know that most of the US-Mexico border is one long river? Do no try to follow it trying to locate where the border deviates from the river...

  • What is this tortured animal blood you're taking about? I know of blood pudding, but nothing that is too be drunk.

    Also veganism is awesome.

  • Google map is late to the game. NORAD has radars and has been doing it for much longer.

    Due to the uncertainty principle, they can know where he's going or where he is, but not both at the same time.

  • My secret is that I know I'm actually the only real human, and everybody else are aliens posing as humans to study my behavior. That's why I purposefully make random decisions and actions from time to time, to throw them off.

    I still have to figure out if I'm the last human alive, if every remaining human is being studied like me, or if there is a real human society somewhere.

  • When the completed manuscript exceeded 600,000 words, Cerf asked Rand to make cuts, but backed off when she compared the idea to cutting the Bible.

    Wow, I didn't know this author, and it seems I wasn't missing much.
