tfw the country that started with violent settler colonianism in the not-so-distant past decides that even the settlers don’t get to have personal freedom or political participation anymore

The churches in my country are fairly humble compared to that …
- Comment on Anon doesn't enjoy anything 12 hours ago:
Great point. The idea that a relatively normal person would completely turn their life around just because they read the New Testament is fairly absurd, especially if their issue is depression and not something that’s talked about more directly in the text like how you’re supposed to be compassionate and forgiving instead of hateful. Maybe if you’re already very religious and your old church is always preaching against compassion and forgiveness.
- Comment on Anon doesn't enjoy anything 12 hours ago:
Also seems to indoctrinate a lot of people if they aren’t turned off from the get-go. IMO it’s predatory.
- Comment on Anon doesn't enjoy anything 1 day ago:
Could have done all that without reading religious propaganda.

Have you considered that it might be satire, considering he’s posting videos about ‘retardmaxxing’?
- Comment on meal 2 days ago:
I want it. People just can’t properly appreciate the beauty of sweet+savory, yet most of them will happily eat fries with ketchup or mayonnaise.
- Comment on anon discusses car dependence 2 days ago:
That’s only a subscription if you keep the car 24/7, it’s a completely different thing if you only rent for a couple of hours per week. Even renting a car for a day (which might be the shortest amount of time you can rent a car in many places) wouldn’t be a subscription.
- Comment on anon discusses car dependence 2 days ago:
True, you’re definitely missing out on a lot of bulk items, especially when you’re living in a smaller apartment and don’t even have the space to store 10 pound bags. And you pretty much have to go to the store multiple times a week.
- Comment on anon discusses car dependence 2 days ago:
Have you considered renting? Depending on the business model, that could be very cheap if it’s just a couple of hours per week.
- Comment on anon discusses car dependence 2 days ago:
Depends on how many people live in your household and what you eat. You can spend even less if you’re only cooking for one and most meals are ‘beans and rice’-level.
I’d assume that the hard part is actually finding an affordable place in a somewhat walkable neighborhood, especially if you don’t want to live in a one-room apartment.

A large part of plankton consists of animals like crustaceans and jellyfish (zooplankton). Though IDK if that was also true back when the current oil deposits were formed.
- Comment on Anon has it the worst 3 days ago:
Surely, there’s an anon out there with more or less the same life, but 10 years older and proportionally worse health.
- Comment on Bottom text 3 days ago:
Up north some animals have tons of fat (sometimes called ‘blubber’). But if you live up there as a hunter (not much to gather up there), you’ll need those calouries.
- Comment on Bottom text 3 days ago:
Surprisingly, eating fat isn’t that bad if you don’t overeat and get a lot of exercise.

I’d assume there’s some visionairy artist who maybe likes to parody country sometimes who already wrote it.
- Comment on Mercedes and BMW, eternal rivals on a race once again - this time to the bottom. 3 days ago:
Old designs aren’t necessarily pedestrian impact friendly, and some don’t leave a lot of options for crumple zones.
Depends. 30 year old designs are probably more pedestrian-friendly than SUVs. The shape is certainly better, and I assume they already invented crumple zones in 1995.
- Comment on Were both parties cheated on? 3 days ago:
AFAIK, the important thing in polyamory is consent. It looks like the boyfriend didn’t consent, so that seems to be a form of cheating, though it’s possible that it’s an honest mistake - maybe it hasn’t been properly established that they have to tell each other first when they want to date someone new. Though it’s also possible that the relationship wasn’t actually open in the first place, or just not in the way “Asher” said it was.
Bit hard to say who was cheated on without knowing all the facts.
- Comment on The correct way 3 days ago:
Sometimes, you just want to fly a flag upside down, knowing which way is up certainly helps with that! Probably very popular as a statement in the UK, though, considering how subtle the visual effect is.
- Comment on Anon doesn't like AI 3 days ago:
The masses aren’t smart enough for that, it’s too easy to distract them with some completely blameless minority group.
- Comment on Anon doesn't like AI 3 days ago:
I can see how people would be squeezed for their labor in traditional capitalism, but the core idea of this post is that the labor isn’t needed. Debt doesn’t have any worth if the debtor has no goods or labor to trade.
- Comment on Anon doesn't like AI 4 days ago:
AI could be cool if it wasn’t for unrestricted capitalists. And y’know, if it was actually as good as claimed.
- Comment on Anon doesn't like AI 4 days ago:
With what money are the unemployed supposed to pay for that?
- Comment on 'Godfather of AI' says the technology will create massive unemployment and send profits soaring — 'that is the capitalist system' 5 days ago:
‘automation’ and ‘AI’ are currently very different things. There are certainly applications where machine learning is very effective, sometimes even better than senior professionals, but LLMs are mostly bullshit machines.
- Comment on 'Godfather of AI' says the technology will create massive unemployment and send profits soaring — 'that is the capitalist system' 5 days ago:
Any job that is actually productive rather than doing stuff that no one wants or needs is an “actual” job, and I just don’t see how you can replace so many people with LLMs without severely affecting the quality of the work, even if it’s grunt work done by juniors.
- Comment on 'Godfather of AI' says the technology will create massive unemployment and send profits soaring — 'that is the capitalist system' 5 days ago:
I suppose most bullshit jobs can easily be replaced with the likes of ChatGPT, but for most jobs that actually need to get things done it will only create unemployment if the corporations are willing to tank the quality of their products. Doesn’t sound like a sustainable business decision, though.
- Comment on Anon is an artist 1 week ago:
Situationial awareness is still necessary to recognize what kinds of situations are problematic and how to stage a wake-up call. Assuming anon is a teenager, there probably isn’t that much they can do to change their situation entirely.
- Comment on Anon is an artist 1 week ago:
Step one: Have no similarly-aged sibling. It’s fairly unusual nowadays to share a room with a sibling that’s much younger than you, and a significant amount of people are only-children.
- Comment on Anon is an artist 1 week ago:
They also raised them with no situational awareness. Being this kind of dumbass will likely hurt them far more in the long run than being a ‘certified freak’.
