- Comment on Anon reads nihilist philosophy 4 hours ago:
Some author I read said that nihilism can only be temporary and then natural evolution will be towards stoicism/pragmatism. Later she argued that pragmatism isn’t so awesome either, but no concrete arguments were put forward. Quiet pragmatic
- Comment on Republicans are arguing over if trans people can play sports while the world laughs at us 1 day ago:
Yeah the system works so that higher income people subsidize lower income ones and pensioneers. It’s probably why there are many people in Europe “making it” in American sense, but the flip side is that its one less thing to worry about if you suddenly become “downwardly” socially mobile at some point.
But back to your point. When I talked with my American coworkers their health insurance premiums didn’t look expensive at all compared to health contributions from paycheck. Especially so if you consider pay difference.

Impractical stuff that looks nice gets some buyers. Especially in kitchen.

Looks like plastic to me. Or ceramic in style of wood.

At that price its going to be way out of where you want to be and possibly out of public transit network, be dilapitated and probably smell bad.

I dislike gnome and I dislike OSX, and I agree. They’re very different.

Services are expensive. Where I’m from daycare is socialized but still considered expensive. I imagine a full price in for profit daycare must be brutal.
- Comment on Is the world more volatile now or is it just the abundance of news? 4 weeks ago:
I think that it was just the last 30 years being an anomaly. In Europe you had lots of very interesting stuff happening pre WW2. Also pre WW1 was calm just briefly. After WW2 you had communist revolutions in the east which took a while, then in the west you had Basques, Northern Ireland, extremists in Italy and Germany doing interesting happenings. And decolonization struggle in the rest of the world. All very eventful. Real calm for Europe came after end of cold war up until 2014 Ukraine. And that is if you disregard the wars in ex Yugoslavia that was ongoing for 10 years! And included eventful things like a genocide and several ethnic expulsions. So maybe real calm was for all in all 14 years in the 21st century…not to say that Middle East was anything but calm in that period. And that Russia ended its civil war circa 2008 and invaded Georgia that same year. That leaves us with 6 whole consecutive years of calm on European continent.

Which is not a stereotype for Indians in the Balkans.

The comment about being mistaken for romani is probably correct. But in that scenario I do not understand why everyone would get back into water while he was on shore. It makes no sense. I suspect OP is fake, possibly gay.
- Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open 2 months ago:
interest free Here its interest free only if you switch providers every 2 years which is the length of the contract. In that time you get discount on mobile services so that you pay the same as you would at discount providers. Otherwise they get you at the price of mobile services. Still a very good deal indeed.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 months ago:
There does exist a strong privacy movement that replicates 99% of tech products that mainstream tech companies provide. I think part of the momentum can definitely be attributed to Snowden’s revelations.

Yeah… a lot, but he also seems self aware, so maybe, a bit?

I just watched Channel 5 interview with him. Before I thought that he is stupid and trashy. He actually seems very smart but a bit misguided.

I must admit I do not know Bernie’s policies in great detail. What I wanted to say that is that countries with national healthcare, free schooling, paid maternity, sick time, vacation days and such being the law I would refer to being left of Bernie because the status quo in USA is so much to the right.
Even in countries where all of this is provided by the state, being able to afford roof over your head is still a big challenge.
- Comment on Boomer comics 3 months ago:
Adult sons living at home is common in European countries where status quo is to the left of your Bernie. So it must be something else. I blame NIMBYs.

He surely wants to be Jewish messiah, just not Jesus-like. Because Jesus is weak on crime. Antichrist indeed.
