  I don’t think that many people are buying shit quality products second hand

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I financially enabling child labor in 3rd world countries by buying second hand fast fashion?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well-functioning second hand markets encourage buying quality products new, cause they have resell value. If the quality is truly shit, nobody would be paying money for it, especially second hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I financially enabling child labor in 3rd world countries by buying second hand fast fashion?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A few thoughts:

  • Depends how much money you are spending to buy those clothes. If it’s almost the same as the price as new, it makes it easier for the people who buy the clothes new to keep buying more and more stuff.
  • If you aren’t spending a lot of money, this is like the opposite of fast fashion. You are making the life cycle of those clothes longer by buying them.

  PS. I don’t think we should individualize things like this. A significant chunk of the clothes we buy – and other things as well – are made under miserable conditions and/or by children, and it’s very difficult to avoid all of that. It’s a systemic issue that needs to be solved on a systemic level.

  Yes, for example hypothyroidism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would happen if a person proved in a lab they're gaining weight while in a verified calorie deficit?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They might be increasing in weight due to absorbing more water into their body

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do old people still remember their childhood? Do people just start losing their memories and their sense of self as they get older?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t and I’m 30. Almost anything before the age of 7 and quite little between 7 and 14.

  But AFAIK most people do remember quite some stuff from their childhood for the rest of their life. And forget some of course. I guess it varies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Clearly its not universal but rather a cultural phenomenon if they were fine but you feel humiliated

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨as a young person, what must one look for when it comes to finding a new country to live in?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Apart from the obvious ones of like, getting a visa and difficulty of getting a passport, in rough order of my completely non-scientific guesstimate

  • Stability, safety
  • Long-term track record of employment opportunities, and pay vs cost of living. You want to be able to find a job, and not starve.
  • Price and quality of government services such as healthcare, education etc.
  • Language situation. As an English speaker, you’d either want to go for English speaking, or somewhere where people speak alright English but let practice their language so that you can eventually learn it. Also, see language difficulty for English speakers
  • Culture and attitudes towards immigration; how difficult is it to socially integrate
  • Matters of taste, would you like the culture, food, climate etc.

  I had a door but that didn’t mean my mom couldn’t just walk in anytime

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are oral rapid tests for drugs in my country that the police use

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
  1. get each traffic cop one 2) there are similar devices for the rapid testing of drugs as well
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No? This all sounds so weird to me. Breathalyzers exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do some countries really use dumb tests like this to enforce DUI laws? What?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Its all over⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good luck with that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Its all over⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe? Or drinking cold water after not eating anything for a long time?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I never said anything about tackling?? Anyway, here’s the comment you replied to, localized to your dialect:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am talking about the most popular sport in the world, wtf are you talking about

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not a fan of competitive activities or of games where I feel my physical abilities could let others down.

  I think this is a misconception. There are so many groups that just gather and play amongst each other. And if you screw up, it truly does not matter. Last Sunday I was playing football with my hobby team, there was an own goal and nobody really cared.

  I don’t think this is getting anywhere though. I did a lil trolling and lost the goodwill of the running evangelists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  oh no i was talking about actual foot ball not whatever they do in the US

  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?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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.

  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?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ 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

  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.
