  Actually it’s about charging people extra as often as you can.

  Dinosaurs want to break out again but giant asteroid is going to destroy the earth so they team up with humans to stop it. Dinosaurs offer their asteroid know how in exchange for freedom.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Might be time to find another job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My story exactly. Company still has summer parties but they cut a lot of benefits, started firing people and the level of gaslighting went up dramatically. I was looking for something else but fortunately stayed long enough to get fired and cash out. Found new job in 1.5 months. I’m almost grateful to them for being such assholes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can an American go to Europe just for cheaper healthcare?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of people do it for dental care and plastic surgeries already. It’s exactly the same with everything else. People here doesn’t seem to realize you have private healthcare in Europe where you can just pay for the visit. The problem is that you also have to pay for the stay. I will give you two examples. Wisdom tooth extraction costs around 300 euros in Spain vs $500 in US. Doesn’t make sense to fly to Spain to do it. Tooth implant costs around 1000 euros in Spain vs $3500 in US. Now paying for a single flight would make sense but tooth implant requires multiple visits spanning around 3 months. If you have to fly twice or stay in Spain for 3 months it doesn’t make sense.

  But if you’re already going to Europe and want to fix your tooth while you’re here you can totally do it. A lot of people that live in US but have family in Europe do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your approaches to donating?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you do rare but big donations or small ones spread over lots of causes?

  Subscribing for regular donation is much better for the project because it helps them plan long tern.

  Ha!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not this kind of privilege. The privilege of exerting power over women. Deciding what they can and can’t do, ordering them around, abusing them without any consequences. White men could also exert power over men of other races. Oil-covered men enjoyed this privilege, not just the top hat wearing ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t really do anything. Men had privileged position in the society for millennia. Now you’re basically asking them to resign this privilege. They will not do it voluntarily. It doesn’t make sense for them on any level. They will push back and the harder you attack their special rights the harder they will push back. It’s only natural.

  I think the only thing you can do is to educate them about democratic values so that while they are regaining power they still respect the rights of other people and don’t create authoritarian state. This is what clearly failed in the US.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can new make friends?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Without bonus points: climbing. It’s always done in groups, the community is very open and you spend a lot of time just talking.

  Basically you show up to a local climbing gym, try a boulder, some guy tries it after you, you say something like “I think you need to switch hands here”, you start chatting, ask him about outdoor climbing in the area, he says that he’s going to a nice stop this weekend, invites you to join, you go and hang out with people all day. It really is that simple.

  So… do people use AI know to copy images from the internet? WTF?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where does technology come from in Star Wars?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I meant “today” in SF sense, like current century vs some time 1000 years from now :) Of course your right, the battle scenes were inspired by WW2 movies.

  My favorite SF warfare descriptions come from Banks. Battleships firing at each other from light years away or hiding inside suns, everything controlled by AI, microsecond long battles. Absolutely not adaptable to screen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where does technology come from in Star Wars?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Star Wars is a nice movie but it’s a pretty mediocre SF. They mix very low and very high technology in mostly absurd ways. You have FTL and lasers but robots are mostly shit, AI is very basic and it’s use weirdly limited, warfare looks pretty much like today, only in space. I know they did it like this because of cinematography but as a SF it’s just not that good. So I really would bother trying to rationalize the tech. It’s mostly like this because “it looked nice”.
