- Comment on History says tariffs rarely work, but U.S. President Biden’s 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs could defy the trend, researcher says 7 months ago:
The notion that the West needs China more than vice versa is laughable. China is literally the biggest importer of Western goods and resources in the world including absolute dependence on American soybeans just to feed its population.

Myth Child forgives him.
- Comment on Does it seem odd to track my lifespan? 7 months ago:
It’s futile, as you have zero idea when you’re going to die, every day could be your last man. I think what you’re doing is a good way to get some sort of anxiety disorder and I’d be happy to be wrong in this case as I wouldn’t wish that shit to anyone.
- Comment on Why is currency so essential? 7 months ago:
Currency is an energy equivalent in human society. I’d say our current ridiculously exploitable system with greedy for profit banks, rampant credits, tax havens, exchange rates manipulation, dividends and stock market micro trading leaves a lot to be desired, yet it is still incredibly convenient and relatively stable even with all the major crashes. Beats barter that’s for sure.

Stupidity is a moral flaw.
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 7 months ago:
Billions of trees every year get cut down to make space for cattle pastures, now tell me how destroying entire ecosystems that have been there for potentially thousands of years is worth some particular meat.

- Comment on What will happen to large companies once poor people have no more money to use? 8 months ago:

- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 8 months ago:
Street asphalt and concrete are incredibly dirty. Car exhaust, dust, whatever the wind brings, bird droppings, insects, trash, there is like a thousand contaminants.

- Comment on In movies a strong woman is manly. (big muscles, aggressive, punches people, etc.) Is that really the way it is? 8 months ago:
I don’t think aggression and punching people are manly traits but ok. And I quite like muscular women, it’s damn hot.

- Comment on Which would you rather do, create art or summon rain? 8 months ago:
Only if the rain magically creates the water otherwise I’d probably screw up some weather patterns and would be responsible for horrible famines or devastating floodings or whatnot.
- Comment on Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana? 8 months ago:
Tradition, mainly. It’s so ingrained in the majority of cultures that you can’t simply uproot it with a law. Although it should be a more controlled substance, no doubt about that. It’s addictive, debilitating, incredibly harmful and it simply destroys more lives than literally any drug known to man.

- Comment on CFCs 9 months ago:
Well considering Elon situation I wouldn’t blame anyone for making fun of his idiotic ventures. Also starship is actually dumb and saying “you expected for it to blow up” is something no real scientist would’ve said unless they were making a bomb.
