- Comment on what language would be best for me to learn? 5 days ago:
French and Italian will come relatively easy for you, the others are quite different. Personally I’d go with Arabic, but that’s just because there are many Arabic speaking people at my job.
- Comment on When I tell people I don't know the answer but where they can find it and they don't go and read where I told them to read. 5 days ago:
I’m sure where I can find the conversion rate between Celsius and Fahrenheit, but I’ll never remember it
- Comment on Can you put a ship inside a Klein bottle? 1 week ago:
All currently existing Klein bottles.
It seems obvious but I feel like specifying is necessary when talking about abstract things like 4d shapes.

Peak redpilled content
- Comment on unnecessary expense 5 weeks ago:
The problem is that anyone has a net worth that high to begin with. Nobody is able to work that much harder than a regular worker.
- Comment on unnecessary expense 5 weeks ago:
I think its quite a different thing for someone who has a net worth in the millions. It’s not the same at all for someone living paycheck to paycheck.

I really don’t see how that makes much of a difference. The CEOs can just leave if the board doesn’t pay them what they want. And since the boards want them specifically as CEOs, they end up paying what the CEOs are asking for. So the CEOs are paying themselves with some extra steps. Or am I missing something?

The delta P you’re talking about has much much higher ambient pressure than what is the case here.
And even underwater there is a limit to delta P.

The least sexy thing in your post is how miserable your sister seems to be.
Humor is sexy. If a woman won’t date you because you took that photo as a joke, you’re dodging a bullet.

- Comment on Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)? 1 month ago:
That’s nice, I guess they found other ways to fund their government.

When you’re renting, you’re always also paying this tax indirectly. Its a tax of having a roof over your head, whether you own it or not*. So it has nothing to do with ownership.
I guess you can argue somewhere in the direction of “tax is theft”, but that’s a different discussion.
- kinda opposing my previous statement, I guess it would be more accurate to say that paying the tax directly to the government is kind of a proof of ownership.

- Comment on Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)? 1 month ago:
Yeah, owners pay taxes to fund the government. But paying taxes does not mean you don’t own something, as if you were renting.

Well, we do have the words leasing and renting.
The difference between owning games on steam and actually owning a game? When steam shuts down, you suddenly don’t own any games anymore.
When you own a house, you can do whatever you want with it. If you choose to use it without utilities, you can for no extra cost. And payong taxes doesn’t really have anything to do with ownership.if anything taxes are proof of your ownership.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 2 months ago:
Who gives a flying fuck what others think? Fuck that egotistical bullshit.
Isn’t egoism kinda the opposite of caring about what others think?

I got this m3ssage yesterday and checked out the matrix server. It was a bunch of anime profiles spewing racist nonsense. Reminded me of 4chan with the vibes. Not for me.
