Just move to Spain.
- Comment on Humans are part of the ecosystem. 4 days ago:
Carbon emissions are not the only problem. I really doubt the world’s reaches 10% also produce half of the sewage and plastic or that most of the land is turned into farms to feed them. It’s nice that indigenous people living in forest don’t destroy it but you can’t have 8 billion people living in forests. Cities and highways are not part of the ecosystem.

Mind. Blown.

The problem was the idiotic censoring of the word ‘ass’.

- Comment on Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles. 6 days ago:
“Popular” definition of autism changed from actual disorder to anything “on the spectrum” and since everyone is on the spectrum somewhere everyone can say they have autism now. It’s like saying you’re gay because you don’t find all men disgusting.

So you’re saying they were photoshoped out of this images?

They can but some members like Hungary are actively fighting against EU, others like Germany only care about their GDP.
- Comment on Mom with the real questions 1 week ago:
I get it, family and all, but “wanted it to stay in the family" is a silly reason to inconvenience someone else.
- Comment on It’s good to know what to do in an emergency 1 week ago:
This is useless. No one is recording the fire for Instagram.
- Comment on Bicycles should be allowed on the road with the full rights and requirements (tags, inspections, and insurance) as motor vehicles. 1 week ago:
As a cyclist I’m super careful not to hit anyone because it’s more dangerous for me than for the pedestrian. I mean, high speed it’s probably equally dangerous but at low speed I can bump into someone and end up on the ground.
- Comment on Ars Technica’s Top 20 video games of 2025 1 week ago:

- Project Zomboid
- 2048 on my phone
- Comment on EU lawmakers to study ban 'loot boxes' and other addictive features in video games 1 week ago:
It’s only a theory I came up with just now but EU was criticized for years for regulating too much. Stories about absurd regulations like classifying snails as fish or regulating the curvature of a banana were circulating everywhere. It was probably organized by corporations to slow down EU and now the process is so slow it’s verging on being useless. They are thinking about banning sales of oversized US cars but maybe starting in 2035. I will be dead long before those cars are off the roads (hopefully not killed by one of them). Everything requires studies and drafts and transition periods and little gets done.
- Comment on Honestly how????? 2 weeks ago:
I grew up next to that border. Fortunately on the civilized side.
- Comment on Apparently your hobbies becomes less interesting if you're forced to do them all the time? Who knew? 3 weeks 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.

If you remove LLM slop will there be anything left?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
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? 5 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”.
- Comment on Games you played inside video games. 5 weeks ago:
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.
