As a fellow enjoyer of battery acid manufacturing precursors, I agree, it’s one of the better ones.

Here’s my biggest pet peeve (relevant to the scenario): the cancelling of bi-folk. There is a forced dichotomy of men being either hetero- or homosexual, with homoerotic choices somehow automatically negating all heteroerotic choices by framing them as perfidy (i.e. pretending to be heterosexual to pass in society).
Freddie Mercury was *bi*. NOT GAY. *Bi*. I have no issue with gays revering him. I do have issues with gays trying to deny his heteroromantic side (see Mary Austin).
Rant over.

Bold assumption that our descendants will have the kind of general education that would result in “extra homework” for “history students”. I imagine a future scholar to be like Kenneth from 30 Rock

- Comment on Are datacenters in space more lucrative than on earth? 2 months ago:
Of course you would. But I also don’t quite believe you. Everybody lies on the internet, and when I see corporate PR being regurgitated by someone pretending to be “just one of us”, indignant when confronted, expecting the benefit of the doubt, I call it out.
Well just the other day I was doing my regular human activities with my biological friend Frobert, and just between consuming two Earth crustaceans, we came to talk about the benefits of alchemy to transmute people into gold. We’ve got the idea from Grok.
It doesn’t matter to me whether you’re an actual shill or someone genuinely uninformed whose talking points reflect whatever a shill would say. If you give me the Musk fan impression, I’m gonna give you the Musk fan treatment. Call me patronising if you want 🤷.

Because "planning to" in this case is practically code for "grifting their investors with fairytales", especially with these people. The self-driving car, the underground tunnel that would replace motorways, the chatbot that would replace people, the Mars colony, these are all lies no matter if it’s Musk saying them or anyone else trying to get some of the same easy money.

There doesn’t have to be a reason to any of this. Hooligans cause damage any chance they get. They do this at home too. They are permanently at war with everyone and everything.
They’re pests. You don’t reason with cockroaches.
- Comment on Are datacenters in space more lucrative than on earth? 2 months ago:
Nah, man. I have an issue with your wording. You have not been "hearing a lot of talk". You are quoting one specific lie of a prolific grifter.
Nobody in their right mind agrees with this. If you had put your question as "Elon Musk, owner of a satellite launching company, as well as several money burning pits, wants others to pay him to put some of those money burners into orbit. Is there any sense to this?", the answer would be trivial.

Don’t be looking for reason in racism. I grew up in Eastern Europe and truth be told, I can’t claim to be free of it myself. The story rings believable to me…

I’m a naturalised Swiss citizen from the German-speaking part, originally from Eastern Europe. I’ll try to cover some of what other comments haven’t:
- First thing: get employed. In fact, get a contract before even coming here. Life in Switzerland has serious recurring costs and safety nets are sparse. I’m not saying it’s easy, it’s the biggest challenge, but it only gets easier from there.
- Learn the language (Swiss German), keep practicing it, and mind that you’ll never be 100% accent-free or accepted by everyone in society. Switzerland has a kind of baseline hostility towards everyone, and foreigners get some extra.
- Build up your own circle of friends, which is downright easy in most “cities”. Pubs are ubiquitous and great for this. There is a sizeable Balkans minority, which might need some extra navigation, but you prolly know this better than I.
- If you’re through with points 1.-3. though, let me tell you, this is hands-down the best country in the world. You’ll love it here. You’ll never feel as home anywhere else like you’ll do here.
