- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 13 hours ago:
I’m 30 and have been back home since the start of last year, after having lived elsewhere for a decade.
Then traveled in autumn and got laid off at the start of the year in a sector (software) that’s experiencing talent excess. It’s basically impossible to get an interview, their reaction when I told them I’m moving back to the capital to get a bachelor of education is kind of wild. they’re both like, wouldn’t you like to stay a little longer?
I’m just like, guys I’ve been unemployed for half a year. Without any entrepreneurial ideas. I’m not about to start a company. I need to do something…

need to crowd fund a comedy statue that will get them loads of publicity?
Because it gives them loads more of publicity, also people loves to be involved if they have a chip in it.
Why do people buy subscriptions for the biggest streamers, earning 10s of thousands of dollars in ad revenue each month? Because they want to be a part of it, they want to chip in to let the show go on
- Comment on Wow. okay. Didn't need to go that hard. 5 days ago:
I used to work with a guy that’d make everyone laugh, and estimate tasks like he’d never get shit done.
He wasn’t the fastest developer, but his quality was alright. I’m pretty confident everyone else however got more shit done, simply because it was a lot nicer and calmer to work those projects.
Any large project needs the moral boosters, for smaller projects it’s a little more complicated
- Comment on 92% of American adults aren’t going to a doctor because they cannot afford it. The health insurance industry must be dissolved & all of its executives criminally prosecuted for murder, conspiracy, an… 1 week ago:
The survey showed that over nine in ten (92%) of insured respondents had delayed or avoided medical care because of concern about cost.
But the methodology seems wonky indeed, 1507 should be a decent sample size for statistical purposes. But half of the respondents are self-employed and only 1% is unemployed, which explains the “average out of pocket per income level” section, flying all over the place.
But 92% of insured, having delayed medical care is a massive finding. Although the methodology makes one raise eyebrows, for how they’re able to include income brackets of “0$”, as that at most seems to be 15 respondents.

Meanwhile me with gay healthcare, is going to see specialists within the broader category of my niche disease.
Although to be fair, it took 1.5 years to get an appointment, availability have declined the past few decades
- Comment on It's gay to brush your teeth 1 week ago:
Given the health benefits brushing your teeth applies to your entire body, it’s an awful bad idea.
At the end of the day, when a person has to go to the hospital for a complicated procedure due to bad oral hygiene. The cost falls back on the entire society, even in the case of selfpaid hospitals - The capacity is strained a bit further, to help a preventable situation

- Comment on This is what Democratic voters are saying. Will the party listen? 1 week ago:
The German problem is the missing representation, through a requirement of 5% of votes to be represented.
Then for the case of AfD, no one wanted to talk with them at all when they crossed the 5% mark. AfD has a lot of garbage takes, but they’re gaining traction for a reason and any extreme party will have some truth to their main requests.
I think we’re quite close to optimal in Denmark with the 2% requirement and then legitimately listening to all parties. Like right now there’s no need to include Alternativet/Greens. But everyone is aware the most climate extreme party will become big if everyone ignores them.

Sounds like you’re mostly conservative, with a desire for others to feel good about themselves.
The Danish conservative party is pretty close to your requests, except for the degree at which you seem to be pro immigration

- Comment on Anon institutes the draft 2 weeks ago:
We caught the mouse on our attic, by luring them into a moveable plastic bath tub. Then we apparently overfed them, so most of them ended up dieing because they got stuck in the toys, which mainly was cardboard rolls from paper towel
- Comment on Sony doubles down. Only responds to their investors, not the consumers. I've never bought a digital console title. That will continue. 2 weeks ago:
The big games you mention here are what most would coin AA titles, AA is absolutely still able to hit homeruns at time.
But the AAA (biggest budget games) plays a bit too safe, I have a feeling GTA VI might be a banger. But that’s an anomaly for a AAA game.
We need more innovative games, triple A’s should be able to invent new things. Studios quite often does so, and then has it gutted by publishers/investors because it carries too high of a risk
- Comment on The Dangers of Socialism they warned us about... 2 weeks ago:
We’re all following the same pattern, the wealth distribution got completely fucked during covid and it hasn’t slowed down ever since. We’re just 5-10 years after you, but I’m scared of the direction especially the UK have made and no proper parties seems to be willing to dismantle the elites yet.
Capitalism will always make wealth trickle upwards, unless you either tax wealth harder than yields or taxes death to oblivion. Personally I’m in favour of 100% inheritance tax after the first 400 thousand euroes, as that’s the most feasible way to transition into a liberal merit based society rather than a nepotistic society based upon how wealthy your parents are which is dominating everywhere today - Including my beloved Denmark.

It’s pretty common for long haul routes to feature chatter, the chatter goes up exponentially if something goes south. As we’d then have a shared experience of sitting in queue on the highway together

Yep, xenophobia went up globally following the financial crisis of '08.
Sure America was the big trigger, but no country did anything to guard themselves from the risk ongoing at the time - And in Europe mena immigrants was the bogeyman written about in the media…
- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 3 weeks ago:
I think it would be a pretty good joke if they made the combat of the next souls game turn based. Still monstrously difficult, release the game on an April 1st and have the entire gaming subset of players switch their stances
- Comment on Gamer Logic 😡 3 weeks ago:
There’s an overweight of outcasts in gaming spaces, which is why queer people are incredibly overrepresented. Both among developers, players and in games themselves
But for the same reasons, you’ll find gaming related echo chambers that funnel people into hate filled ideology such as incel culture. A different kind of outcasts.
Sure gaming have become quite mainstream and you can find almost any sub group who games. But most “normies” games less than the outcasts, as they don’t need the escapism it allows for.
Within the more “normal people” group, there’s also variations. Some allow for hatred to exist within the communities they act within, some don’t, some allow for queer safe spaces others turn around the second they see it.
It’s a nuanced topic, which could turn into paragraph after paragraph. But outcasts are overrepresented within gaming. Especially rural outcasts, as they aren’t able to find a physical group to mirror themselves in
- Comment on Google just had its first negative cash flow quarter due to massive AI spending 3 weeks ago:
I do not I agree Microsoft is in that category, but they’re mainly a B2B player today.
A little less than 20% of revenue per earnings '25 was from consumers - The rest for business offerings. I’m curious to hear which selection of companies you consider the main ones. Because Microsoft is still top 5 within Tech when it comes to power.
- Comment on Google just had its first negative cash flow quarter due to massive AI spending 3 weeks ago:
Google hit as big a market share as they could, so their way to grow the search machine was to increase the market.
How do you increase the market? By pushing the most relevant links further back, so people have to go to page 2, 3 or 4. So it’s unfortunately the best financial decision, short term, to enshittify their main product

- Comment on A Majority of Americans Now Support Seizing Wealth From AI Industry 4 weeks ago:
The text doesn’t read buy, it reads transfer. Basically force all AI companies to issue one extra share per share currently held and handed over to the fund.
Assume they could be non voting shares, but have them be paid the same dividends as other shareholders
But I don’t get why this would be preferred to increasing capital tax or company taxes

ASML has an order book running to 2028, the problem is it’s almost impossible to create a competitor to ASML - Demand for fabs is not the issue.
- Comment on Old but gud 4 weeks ago:
I think the reason is as simple as flamboyant outfits being easily available.
Two hundred years ago, a flamboyant outfit indicated you did minimum manual work. As that’d destroy the drip, and it was also quite expensive. While commoners would wear often brown/grey work outfits.
It’s the same reasons for why it used to be in to be white/pale, as that indicated you’d stay inside all day rather than working the fields. Now it’s in to be tan, as that indicates you’re able to sunbath rather than work in an office all day long

This has been a hot topic among AAA developers for a long ass time. Steam is setting certain requirements, such as engagement with advertisements may not be forced - But product placement that fits within the world is fine
- Comment on EA VP Urges Companies To Think About In-Game Ads During Development: ‘That’s A Huge Opportunity’ 4 weeks ago:
But none intrusive banner ads is whatever, historically football games have included “fake ads” for charities and inclusion.
If that got changed to opt-in proper ads for a 10€ price deduction we’d be all ears

Normal is between once a month to multiple times a day.
For males there’s some health benefits related to unloading the balls twice a week, reduced risk of prostate cancer. I’m not aware of studies focused on the topic for females, so that’s more of unknown ground today
