I wouldn’t even mind if the ultra rich were doing something with that money, but they just hoard it. Elon Musk could have a giant fortress in the shape of a skull, but instead he just goes home and cheats at videogames. I can do that for next to nothing!
That’s exactly the “Make America Great Again” attitude. You can kill your own population and mistreat your workers, as long as you spend the money in a lavish lifestyle. That’s exactly what the rich are doing, and that’s exactly what people (rightfully) complain about.
- Comment on Conservative people are the moist toxic and aggressive people for no reason 4 hours ago:
i feel like these people really have a “don’t look up” mentality. whatever you do, don’t look directly into the sun, don’t look directly at your king, don’t ever talk about what the people in power are doing. rather, blame yourself and your friends/family /everybody else in society, rather than blame the politics of those in power.

Also, if you’re wrong, jail.
At least that’s the threat.
- Comment on Vibes based cooking 1 week ago:
yeah but there’s also a lot of people just seeing cooking as a chore and never really paying attention to it, therefore not learning much or anything at all.
it takes patience and a bit of dedication to actually learn cooking in a reasonable way. otherwise you’re just following recipe.
- Comment on Vibes based cooking 1 week ago:
also, if you do write down the recipe and try to recreate it on another day, it doesn’t work because your mood has changed and now the flavor doesn’t match anymore.

where did he go to?
- Comment on Anon gets a job 1 week ago:
Especially when you’re treading on green patches of land as it provides more suspension for the knee joint as compared to concrete or asphalt.

- Comment on Can enough solar pannels decrease the global temps? 1 week ago:
wo:mankind FTFY
but serious answer: no. if humanity sources all its electricity through solar panels, these solar panels would cover <1% (IIRC) of earth’s surface area, so the effect would be negligible.

I understand that nobody wants to be a teacher,
Well actually that’s not true. There’s a lot of people who are willing to put up with younger people/inexperienced people, but these people have difficulty too because of … reasons.
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s because people are overworked. No time for love, no time for friendship, sometimes not even enough time to take care of yourself properly.
- Comment on what unbiased media sources do you use? 2 weeks ago:
If i may ask - what does “consume media critically” mean?
How is the process description for that? I’m genuinely interested. I see the word “critical thinking” thrown around a lot but it was never explained to me even in the slightest bit. What does it entail?
- Comment on what unbiased media sources do you use? 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t just say “all are biased”.
Some just outright make things up. (looking at you, Fox News entertainment)
- Comment on what unbiased media sources do you use? 2 weeks ago:
Most news organizations either are paid by the government or by some corporate stockholders (usually the rich).
It’s difficult to find unbiased news sources. There are some smaller ones, which are paid by private donations, but they often have inferior quality due to … appealing mostly to 18-y/o women who want “to make a change” and stuff (my opinion)
long story short, finding factual news sources is extremely difficult and i’ve basically given up on it. i can study physics to understand what is plausible and what is not, but i have no way to decide whether reporting on far-away events is biased or how much.
- Comment on PhD ain't no MD 2 weeks ago:
Yes, i guess the same applies for other fields where abstract thought is involved a lot.
In medieval europe, theology used to fulfill a simar purpose, nowadays maybe (abstract) maths would hit a similar spot. bonus points for being a bit more practical.

no no, in fact i can sell you mine, too, if you want to, for a meager $21 million.
- Comment on Go into debt if you have to 2 weeks ago:
For anyone seriously considering this: don’t.
“The LNG market is set to rapidly grow” is a lie. Economies are shifting away from fossil fuels, and i guess by 2040 no metric ton of fossil fuels will be transported anymore.
This is a waste of money. They just want to get rid of their end-of-use LNG tankers. So they are looking for idiots to buy them.

driver-less cars because they already exist

- Comment on If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once? 2 weeks ago:
some people poop 3 times daily, others 3 times a week, both are considered normal.
- Comment on If we eat three meals a day, why do we poop only once? 2 weeks ago:
I would guess (without knowing for sure) that it’s because your body absorbs a part of the food, so you poop out less mass than you eat.
- Comment on Anon reaches enlightenment 2 weeks ago:
or any meditation technique/speech therapy.
christian monks used to do the same. i think it was called “confession” or something when you talked about things that bothered you with somebody who was reasonably intelligent in a private context.
i guess it really helped and might have been the modern equivalent of talking to a therapist.
- Comment on Anon reaches enlightenment 2 weeks ago:
There has been a story a long time ago:
People (mostly men) who are mostly bald on the top of the head, but have like hair on the side, are said that their hair is a “crow’s nest”. (because it looks a bit like one of these things:)
These people were said to have reached enlightenment, wisdom, or knowledge, because the bird (raven or crow) stands for wisdom, insight or knowledge. (compare that to the owls in ancient greece, ravens in nordic mythology, dove in christianity or eagle in the US culture.)
That is i believe partially also why this hairstyle was considerably popular among christian monks, who would often use shears to achieve hair that looks like that.
