- Comment on Apparently your hobbies becomes less interesting if you're forced to do them all the time? Who knew? 6 days ago:
I managed to find very interesting jobs couple of times. After a year or two management changes, projects change, co-workers change. Many things make work “fun” and you usually don’t control any of it. My last company in couple of years went from nice place to work to corporate shithole with low morale. Had to stay interested in a place like that.

Yes and also “Poles have to suffer for the greater good of Europe”: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_of_Europe
It’s all pretty depressing and fucked up.

I don’t know this story but in Poland, books that were mandatory to read in primary school included:
- story about a poor kid who really wanted to play violin, dared to touch violin belonging to the landlord and was beaten to death as a punishment (Janko muzykant)
- story about a young girl that gets sick, as a “fold remedy” is put into an oven for the duration of a prayer and dies (Antek)
- story about a kid who goes to school under German occupation and studies so much he gets brain inflammation and dies (Syzyfowe prace)
- story about a dog that gets left behind when his family moves, starts running in a desperate attempt to find his owner, finds her and dies of exhaustion in her arms (what was the title??)
- story about a horse working in a coalmine that can’t ever get out because he entered when he was younger and now the ceiling is too low, the horse dies (Łysek z pokładu idy)
- story about a kid how gets pneumonia from playing outside with friends and dies (Chłopcy z placu broni)
- story about a kid who fights Germans during occupation, gets caught, is tortured and beaten up so badly that he dies shortly after his friends rescue him (Kamienie na szaniec)
- story about a teacher working in a small village, trying to teach poor children science. he gets sick and dies because there’s a blizzard and they can’t deliver medicine in time (Siłaczka)
- story about a dog that rides trains. the dog is hit by a train and dies (O psie który jeździł koleją)
I’m probably forgetting about couple more “fun” stories. So yeah, I would love to have read about spiders fucking instead.

From what I know they still have to call additional unit to assist with the test. Probably some training is required so it can’t just be any unit. They could easily call someone to bring a breathalyzer but or course they don’t want a accurate result. They just want an excuse to fuck with someone.

The nostalgia factor is definitely real
It’s not just nostalgia. Parents will take kids to McDonald’s as a reward and then they get a toy and it’s very quickly ingrained in them that “McDonald’s = fun”. Where I grew up we didn’t have it so for me it was always just another place with bad food but I remember once overhearing some kids on a bus talking excitedly about going McDonald’s and what they are going to order there. It was like a special occasion for them.
- Comment on Is it even feasebal to find 12 people who have not been screwed over by insurance for the Luigi trial? 2 weeks ago:
I’m sure in your bubble there’s a lot of people that would let him go just to make a point but general public is very stupid and easily manipulated. They will easily find 12 people that will “fulfill their duty” and make sure “justice was served”. It’s very unlikely that 1 person believing in jury nullification will slip through and derail it by causing miss trail, let alone 12 that will unanimously vote “not guilty”.

In GTA (the first one) we would come up with challenged like “steal a firetruck and ram 10 cars until they explode” and the other person had to do it with one life.

Oh, I see what’s going on here.
I live in Europe so I’m looking at this from European perspective. While I think I don’t live in a completely just society I think it’s pretty good, it can be improved and I would like for it to survive. So I think Europe should have weapons and we should have best engineers possible working on them. While their weapons are sometimes used for immoral things I don’t blame the engineers for it.
You’re looking at this from American perspective. You think your society is evil and it should be destroyed. You don’t think it should be able to defend itself at all and all engineers helping to preserve it are morally corrupt.
You’re looking at this from a perspective or a Nazi engineer in 1938 while I’m looking at it from a perspective or a Polish engineer in 1938.
So you’re taking the most extreme case and applying it to all arms companies while I treat as… well… extreme case.
I have a friend in Poland that works for a company providing components for weapon manufacturers. Some components they make were found in Gaza. Do I think he’s immoral and should quit? No, I think those components are necessary to protect Poland from Russia and I don’t think Poland should be destroyed. He can’t decide were those components will end up. Would I say the same about Israeli engineer? No.

It’s really not that complicated. We have two “issues”.
- Engineers making weapons
- Weapons being used to kill innocent people.
There is an easy solution to both: don’t make weapons. That’s a stupid solution because if your country doesn’t have any weapons it will be invaded by other country and innocent people will die.
You know this easy solution is stupid so you say we should only “reduce” the number of weapons. But this doesn’t solve any issues. Engineers still make weapons and those weapons can still be used to kill innocent people. You just saved some money which is completely different topic entirely.
So now you’re stuck in a loop claiming that your stupid solution will solve issue 2 (which it won’t) while ignoring issue 1 entirely.
The real “solution” is to not use weapons to kill innocent people. “Issue” 1 is not an issue at all. Engineers making weapons are necessary. “Issue” 2 has to be solved by the entire country by electing better politicians. Engineers don’t have more power here than farmers or doctors.

Obviously.
- Comment on Shout out to my engineering homies. 3 weeks ago:
I have literally no idea what kind of point you think you’re making.
I can see that. Let me explain that in even simpler way.
You say:
Me: Making guns.
You: “Engineers making guns bad! Make less guns!”
Me: Make 1 gun instead of 3.
US Army: Take 1 gun and kill brown children.
You: “Engineers making guns bad!”
I say:
Me: Making guns.
US Army: Takes guns and kills brown people.
Me: Army bad!
P.S. I don’t work for arms company. I was just making a point.
- Comment on Shout out to my engineering homies. 3 weeks ago:
You do realize that if you “reduce” spending you will still have arms companies making weapons and engineers will work for them? I don’t think it’s that complicated…
You spend a lot on weapons. If you reduce it you will spend less on weapons but you will buy some weapons.
Like imagine you’re spending $100 a week on alcohol. You decide it’s bad for you and you reduce it. Now you’re only spending $30 on alcohol. You’re still buying alcohol. You spend less but you still buy it so someone will still make it.
Hope that helps.

Great, so let’s disarm unilaterally. I’m sure Russia and China will do the same.
Such a childish take…
- Comment on Shout out to my engineering homies. 3 weeks ago:
Where did you get my desire for blood from? All I’m saying is that the same arms companies make weapons that fall in Gaza and that protect Europe. You can’t have one but not the other. It’s up to politicians to decide how to use those weapons, not engineers.

There will still be people working for arms companies. All of them will deserve hell?

Here’s a great idea: let’s not produce any weapons and disarm unilaterally. What could go wrong?
