Now imagine football, it’s fun, social, collaborative and you feel good afterwards.

Never done therapy, but running is a waste of time, I can tell you that much. There are a lot of sports and other ways to excercise that are actually fun. Running is boring and pointless.
- Comment on Can we have a healthy life only with fruits or fruits and plants combined alone, and if not why? 1 week ago:
Sorry if this sounds rude, but based on your comments it seems that you’re just entering the early phase of the Dunning-Kruger curve on nutrition. Which means, you’ve started learning and are getting overly confident, despite not knowing that much in the grand scheme of things.
Don’t make big dietary changes because you just read something online. Don’t fall for fad diets. Don’t quit eating a large group of foods because they vaguely feel “unhealthy”. Learn about nutrition thoroughly, from reputable sources.
It’s good that you’re asking questions, though.
- Comment on Why is ethanol so tasty? 1 week ago:
Never heard of this and cannot relate, maybe the better phrasing would be “why do I like the taste of ethanol so much”.
- Comment on Is capitalism or consumerism at fault? 1 week ago:
Irrational customer behavior is usually manufactured by well-funded marketing departments.

They don’t ”have to”, they know it’s not gonna fix anything. Strategically, it’s perfect though: it only increases instability and makes the economy worse, which in turn is just further going to fuel authoritarianism.

You might have had shitty experiences with some particular women, but generalizing that to other women is bad for both women in general and you.
- Comment on Are there communities online where artists share their art for free / donation? 4 weeks ago:
Free music archive freemusicarchive.org has a lot of music licensef under the various creative commons licences
- Comment on Are there communities online where artists share their art for free / donation? 4 weeks ago:
For photography, maybe unsplash.com ? The site is commercial and many people upload stuff for self promotion reasons, but still, most photos are available for free and under a rather permissive licence

Downvoted for the use of ridiculous units

Parks and libraries are really nice. Most other third places seem to want you to spend money, that’s my experience here in northern Europe anyway.

Deflection
Says the person who declines to answer simple questions.
none of the countries you listed or any other country considered socialist has ever reverted to social democracy
This is the most incoherent argument I’ve read all week. What does it matter if a country reverts to what? Also, some USSR states did revert to social democracies, but that probably doesn’t count to you because of reasons. To be clear, I don’t care about your reasons for that.
- Comment on Is it possible to be a leftist, but still really enjoy capitalism? 5 weeks ago:
If you were well-read in socialism, you’d know that there are a lot of disagreeing factions, and those disagreements include semantic ones over what is and isn’t socialism.
So you tell me, what is socialism? Is marxist-leninism socialism? Is Cuba socialist? Current-day China? Mao’s China? Rojava? Would a society organized in worker co-ops be socialist?
- Comment on Is it possible to be a leftist, but still really enjoy capitalism? 5 weeks ago:
From Wikipedia:
Social democracy is a social, economic, and political philosophy within socialism that supports political and economic democracy and a gradualist, reformist, and democratic approach toward achieving social equality.
While it is not an objective definition, I think it is a valid point of view to see social democracy rather as a reformist variant socialism than capitalism.

Social democracy
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 5 weeks ago:
In general, investing borrowed money is risky… People just don’t realize they’re doing that when they take on a mortgage.
- Comment on Does free healthcare access increase or decrease the need for medical personnel overall? 1 month ago:
There are other disincentives besides price that keep people from going to the doctor if they don’t need to
- wait times to get to the doctor
- the time spent actually getting to the doctor and being there
- social disincentives of having to explain a minor issue to a professional and probably something else that I forget now.
I used the health care services at my home town once this summer, and I spent two months there. Basic care is free at the point of service there. And I only went because I had had a concussion. Didn’t seem that the other people were there for no reason either.
- Comment on Does free healthcare access increase or decrease the need for medical personnel overall? 1 month ago:
The indirect savings of people going to the doctor earlier etc actually mean some of the healthcare ends up being free.
Also, saying that you’ll have the same problems regardless the system is both factually incorrect and unnecessarily nihilist.
- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 1 month ago:
Sugar is produced naturally in sugar beet and sugar cane plants.
- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 1 month ago:
Well, mostly water. But besides that, it’s mostly sugars and fiber, in that order.
- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 1 month ago:
I don’t think no 1 is a valid argument as that applies to all food

Does he? He’s 24 and in no hurry to do that imo.
- Comment on proportional reaction 2 months ago:
I’ve survived 11 years of programming without ternary operators and prefer to keep it that way
- Comment on What is it called when you believe the U.S. political parties shouldn’t exist? 2 months ago:
New Zealand switched from first past the post to mixed-member proportional in 1992. Despite a two party system at the time.
- Comment on Did I used to be homophobic? Am I? 2 months ago:
Yeah, not wanting to see lesbians on tv is definitely homophobia of some sort. On the other hand, since you are conscious of it, it is a rather inconsequential, and you shouldn’t feel that bad about it. Just try to slowly be more comfortable seeing things that you would be comfortable if it was a straight couple.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 2 months ago:
It’s a gradient of more or less unethical things. You could also use the slavery analogy to less and less unethical investments, to reach the conclusion that you shouldn’t invest in anything that you have even the most miniscule ethical issues with.
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 2 months ago:
Arguing for social change based on personal behavior is pretty stupid
- Comment on If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties? 2 months ago:
This is the same logic that fossil fuel companies do to shift blame from themselves onto consumers.
