- Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news? 1 day ago:
Nihilism. Everything is terrible and there’s nothing you can do about it. Take care of yourself, enjoy what you can while you still can and don’t have kids.

Looking at Table 1 that’s definitely acceptable. It skips a lot of things but that’s why they say 30% with spare room for luxuries.

Define ‘decent living standards’.
- Comment on I'm setting up a Windows 11 laptop for my uncle. Is there a sneaky way to make it block right-wing bullshit websites? 1 week ago:
Subscribe him to some left leaning newsletters, facebook groups, YT channels… whatever media he uses. It’s been shown that simply exposing people to news from outside their bubble is enough to change their views.

Years ago two Polish explorers went to the north pole and called the expedition “Poles at the pole”. Same year one of them (Kamiński) went to the south pole and called the expedition “A Pole at the Poles”. Your welcome.

I don’t get it. Where’s the paradox here? He gets to see the future but turns off the machine before getting any information from it so nothing changes. What I’m missing?
- Comment on Why is so hard for musicians to have a good living and be famous? 2 weeks ago:
There are millions of people in the world that are great singers. It’s just a skill. To be famous you also need good material, contacts and lots of luck.
A friend of mine used to be in a band that had it’s 15 minutes in the '90s. They broke up for some reason and years later she managed to form a new group and record an album. The contract with the label said that she had to organize the tour herself so she tried to get into some festivals but no one was really interested in this type of music. All the band members had other projects and one by one started leaving and she struggled to replace them. She was really good technically but that’s simply not enough.

- Comment on Might be time to find another job 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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.

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

- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 5 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 ? 5 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.
