  • Japan’s Birth Rate Set to Break Even the Bleakest Forecasts

  • The problem is made up. We're more productive than ever and should have plenty of leisure time and plenty of safety nets for old age....but that wealth has all been siphoned off by a very few. The solution to this is tax the wealthy.

  • How do you successfully maintain a calorie deficit over the long run?

    Jump

  • I think a better phrasing would be that all calories are the same, but not all calories are equally accessible (I think this is what you're getting at?). Eating calories that take more work to access inherently adds less stored energy at the end.

  • It has it's strengths

  • I just carry a book on me so when I get somewhere early I have a chance to do some reading

  • Decided to see what Reddit was up to and this was the first thing I saw

    Jump

  • The thing about the music on transit is half the time it's people older than me (30s and up). Which means it's not a generational thing, these people were always out there.

    As for QR codes, I think there are use cases, though they are often poorly implemented. QR code ONLY I agree is insanity

  • What are some common or everyday unforced errors to be wary of?

    Jump

  • I mean, I don't like cats, but they love me. I think it's because I ignore them. Not sure why me not liking cat smell is a red flag

  • Senator can't math

    Jump

  • Yup at the low low cost of checks military budget oh. I love when we subsidize car drivers and oil tycoons with young people's lives, foreign state sovereignty, and the habitability of the only planet we currently occupy.

  • A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections

    Jump

  • You're on the internet right now. Electricity is super dangerous and we already had a safe and well regulated postal system to communicate before that. If you're arguing that we should never innovate I think we just disagree there . The same argument could be used against a lot of things. Do I like self driving cars? Idk not particularly, I like trains and bikes. But the idea of freeing up people's time so they can focus on worthwhile endeavors appeals to me, and it bothers me that in our society the goal isn't to work less, but rather to work more for less. That's the point I was trying to make, that whenever we complain about 'lost jobs' we should take a moment to consider how absurd it is that that's a problem

  • A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections

    Jump

  • I agree with those things, but I believe the person I was responding to was complaining about putting cab drivers out of work. I just think it's unfortunate that we can't simply take care of each other, that people are only valued based on what they produce, and therefore any threat to that production is viewed as negative. We're more productive than ever and we work more than ever. Our ancestors would be baffled if they could see us

  • A San Francisco power outage left Waymo's self-driving cars stranded at intersections

    Jump

  • We've managed to create a society where people are upset about technology doing the work that people used to do. We've just completely lost the plot haven't we

  • at what point in life it's too late to go back to school?

    Jump

  • OP is saying at some point it financially doesn't pencil out. Like, if I make x now, spend y to get a degree, and then make z, about when does it stop making sense to spend y? Obviously this depends on a lot of things but the answer is definitely not never. I suspect they are trying to get a general sense of around when that would be because they don't know the exact values of x y and z.

  • A New Report Reveals the Real Reason Democrats Lost in 2024

    Jump

  • This person isn't saying it's not enough for them personally, they're saying it's clearly, obviously, per all evidence, not enough for MANY people - objectively enough to turn an election. So if you want better leaders you must motivate voters by giving them something to vote for. Lesser of two fascists pisses me off but I'll hold my nose and vote. However, I also recognize this is a piss poor strategy since so many will not.

  • Salt is very salty. Sugar is not that sweet.

    Jump

  • Nah mate. Stop eating sugar for a while and suddenly sweet fruits can be too much sometimes. I can't eat sugary foods anymore. Adding some salt to a dish brings out flavour, adding sugar makes it sweet.

  • Condoms and contraceptives to become more expensive in China as Beijing accelerates push to lift birth rate

    Jump

  • I mean sure, if half the population agrees on anything it gets a lot easier to accomplish. Good luck convincing them though

  • Palantir CEO Says Making War Crimes Constitutional Would Be Good for Business

    Jump

  • I think you can still draw the parallel. As in, palantir the company is a mechanism for villains to corrupt the society around them. Or something like that

  • A Death Row Inmate Was Released on Bail After His Conviction Was Overturned. Louisiana Still Wants to Execute Him.

    Jump

  • What point are you trying to make here? That we should execute people based on feels rather than law? It ain't perfect, it's maybe not even good, but it's logical and can be improved upon if we decide we want to. It's the best we got

  • Louvre pushes up prices for non-EU visitors by 45%

    Jump

  • I usually agree with this point but it does create an awkward spot for museums with a lot of international exhibits. Like, you did a colonialism, stole my peoples stuff, brought it back here, and are now charging me extra to see it? Idk how you get around that, except maybe returning the stuff I guess.

  • "Jurassic" Park

    Jump

  • Not just that but a character that is written as glossing over important details for profit

  • I Set A Trap To Catch Students Cheating With AI. The Result Was Deflating

    Jump

  • Yeah I had a class once where the exams were always just slightly modified versions of some of the homework questions. So if you were confident you could understand and complete all the homework you knew you'd be fine on the exam. It actually caused some people to study more since they felt like there was a more 1:1 between study time and exam success.
