- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 2 weeks ago:
It is a mental desease. If I hoard umfathomble amount of newspapers, I would be called a messi. If it is capital wealth, someone is a genius. They collect to fullfill an emptness in themself. It is a delusion. It is never enough and only the continiues ammassing can give them the feeling of success and control. Consumption as a Stimulus. It is not about the amount, it is about the growth. The way you took to the next number/amount. Distancing yourself further from the others. While getting confirmed by enjoying, what many can not affort. Wealth is the main storyline that is understood by every generation and culture around the world and is a globally accepted metric for desire and standing.
There is no Endgame. But a good perspective for them would be something like Elysium, while for us it is more like Gattaca - at best.
- Comment on what exercises work for you to avoid back pain? 2 weeks ago:
Using a real wooden Chair. For 20 Years now, I use a normal wooden chair for my PC Work instead of a office chair. If I want to turn around, I (my back) does it, not my chair. If I want to get closer, I do it, not my chair. Up? Down? Change sitting position. I have no scientific proof, but I feel like moving my own body, finding positions to sit and moving around on it did better to my back than sitting motionless in a padded office chair swiffeling around while my back degraded further and further. At least my office-chair-colleague around me constantly talk about back problems and then go and buy an even more expensive office chair where they even have to move less. But you want to move more, not less for your back to not deteriorate
Buy a chair where you yourself move with your back, not a chair that prevents your body from moving. Also, switch between standing and sitting multiple times a day if you can. Keep Moving. Keep those joints and muscles in motions.
- Comment on Why don't railroads need expansion joints? 2 weeks ago:
I bet his main viewership is American and that is why he makes the videos like this. If it were for his home turf it would contain way more slurs and accent.
- Comment on Why don't railroads need expansion joints? 2 weeks ago:
TLDW: skipped through until 25:47: the rail doesnt lengthen it just extends to the tops and sides.
This could have been a 5 minute video. All that “Whooa”-Shots and leadup was not needed but is the American way of storytelling: Very talkative and getting amazed by every detail.

TLDR: Moooneeey
- Comment on Signal: Will leave the EU market rather than undermine our privacy guarantees 7 months ago:
Signal will also leave the EU market before they will give their iOS Version a backup-option (something the Android version has since years). I carry a 52 GB data blob with me that takes 15 hours to transfer from old-to-new-phone and that I could lose anytime my phone gets lost. Just because Signal does not think iOS user should be able to save their data.

- Comment on Greens senator threatens Woolworths CEO with six months in prison for contempt of Senate 9 months ago:
As I said: not for contempt. Nobody who can afford a good lawyer will ever go to prison for contempt. Also: That is a depressing short list for 20 years. As if not more CEO deserved to go to prison for wage theft and other things.

- Comment on Employees Say ‘Sizable Portion’ Of Gearbox-Owned Studio Has Been Laid Off 1 year ago:
Unions. If we want to stop the suffering of exploited game developers while the gaming industry rakes in more money than the movie- and music industry combined, we should push hard for unions to protect the well being on creative potential of these workers. Idgaf if EA loses 10-25 million a year to additional wages. That money belongs to the workers in the first place.
