- Comment on Does it seem odd to track my lifespan? 15 hours ago:
It is wise, not weird.
Not many could stand that thought. That’s why they get upset. You are mentally stronger.
Consider tracking your statistical life expectation too, and maybe an additional personal guess about how many remaining days you still got.
- Comment on American wanting to move abroad, what's the best bet for an registered nurse? 2 days ago:
Working in healthcare --> always consider Norway, because they pay good and their system is well funded. That’s so much more than you can say about most other countries.
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 2 days ago:
May be better if you beat yourself into … whatever.
:)
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 2 days ago:
theyll choose someone to their liking over yours, no?
Did you just say “All parents are evil”?
- Comment on Why do arranged marriages persist in many cultures? 2 days ago:
I have friends who are Afghan who have had arranged marriages
So what have they said to your question?
- Comment on If somebody spends the whole day watching fox or religious propaganda, gets worked up and all he can think of is owning a liberal or converting an unbeliever, is this person a victim or just gullible? 4 days ago:
But its not like we can force them to grow up
But should you?
Are you responsible for their life?
- Comment on If somebody spends the whole day watching fox or religious propaganda, gets worked up and all he can think of is owning a liberal or converting an unbeliever, is this person a victim or just gullible? 4 days ago:
This is something on I don’t agree at all with liberals.
Is it only liberals in your country who think so?
- Comment on If somebody spends the whole day watching fox or religious propaganda, gets worked up and all he can think of is owning a liberal or converting an unbeliever, is this person a victim or just gullible? 4 days ago:
People should grow up and take responsibility for their lives.
That’s the main thing.
A grown up, responsible person can have opinions, and can change their opinions.
A grown up, responsible person can spend their day as they want, and can also understand that it is probably unhealthy to watch news a whole day long.
A grown up, responsible person can utter a rant when it feels neccessary, and can also apologize afterwards if someone got hurt from it.
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 6 days ago:
The parties differ not so much in their (propagated) goals, but in the methods they are prepared to use.
- Comment on What happens to those who are severely disabled while in prison? 6 days ago:
Huge difference: do you have that condition before you go to prison, or does it start afterwards?
If you have it before (plus all the papers certifying it), then they are going to care properly. Doctors & judges can even decide that a person is unable to go to prison (this happens often when people are very old).
If you get it later, then the procedures take awfully long, and in the meantime you will probably not get all the care that you need.

Soylent Green.
- Comment on Why does the government of the USA stand by the country of Israel? 1 week ago:
Money.
Serious masses of money in this country belongs to people there, and vice versa.
- Comment on Is there a "canvas" of the universe? Do we even know? Would a canvas follow the same laws as the paint? 1 week ago:
You may want to look up “event horizon”.
- Comment on Doesn't the need for a permit fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech? 1 week ago:
Yelling “fire” is just an easily visualized situation to start the discussion about how freedom of speech is not a universal freedom.
Maybe. But then you have fundamentally misunderstood the term “freedom of speech”.
I call it an unneccessary discussion. You should better think of it as “freedom of saying your opinion”.
It does not mean yelling fire, it does not mean yelling I kill you, it does not mean false accusations, insults about your mother…
- Comment on Doesn't the need for a permit fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech? 1 week ago:
yelling fire
Free speech is the right to say your opinion, however unpopular or silly it may be.
But who would misunderstand yelling fire as “free speech”?
- Comment on Doesn't the need for a permit fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech? 1 week ago:
The city will pretty much grant all permits
Yes, and they have to, because of your free speech.
so it’s more of a polite agreement in most cases
No, it is meant for serious. If there are cases where they don’t give a permit, they need to have very serious reason.
But there is more: you asking for the permit is important in itself, so the administration can take the needed action for public order, e.g traffic regulation etc. So you have to tell them where you want to do it and how many people you expect to participate.
And when you want to demonstrate about controversial topics, they have to send even more police there for your safety. At least in my country that is legally required. The police helps to protect your right of free speech.
You’re giving the government a tool they could expand later to oppress you further
I don’t know why you think so. That would be a state without free speech then.
- Comment on Is it greener to just burn plastic? 1 week ago:
No it isn’t more ‘green’
Burning it creates much more toxins etc. than a ‘normal’ recycling procedure. And of course lots of soot and CO2 and whatnot…
- Comment on If I sign up on a hot air balloon ride and there is bad weather can I get my money back? 2 weeks ago:
Here it is the other way round: you get a phone call and they offer you date+time for your ride when they know that the weather will be good.
- Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time? 2 weeks ago:
I would create “smart home” things for disabled people.
I had enough time then, to go, ask them and find out what is really helpful - without the need to make a profit.
- Comment on I don't really know how to deal with coworkers who emotionally dump their issues on me 2 weeks ago:
How do I react to that?
Say nothing.
Make a half step backwards. Stand still.
Look hard at them, slowly from top to bottom and back upwards, two times. - Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
can he spend that foundation money any way he wants
Yes and No. Yes, he can make the decisions. No, the purpose is somewhat limited.
But since he created this foundation and defined it’s purpose, it will always do what he wanted to do anyway.
instead of spending his personal money?
Above some certain level, your personal expenses simply don’t matter anymore. You can throw money around all day long, but you cannot become poor again.
- Comment on How should I link to music so that anyone can open it? 2 weeks ago:
If you post only links to streaming platforms then there is no way that every user can listen to your music, because that user would need his own contract with that streaming service that you have selected.
For example, I do not have an account at any music streaming service.
- Comment on Parents with genuinely good looking sons but mostly daughters. How do you make sure they don't build their whole personality around looks? 2 weeks ago:
Kids grow up. They are going to make their own decisions about their own life. You can never “make sure” anything there.
If they have healthy personality, THEY would even make sure that it’s NOT YOU who makes such decisions.
- Comment on is there a legal way to consume alcohol bought at a store, outside of a home, hotel room, etc.? 3 weeks ago:
Impressive. Usamericans are able to celebrate and praise themselves for their own hypocrisy.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
It’s about intention, not your reaction.
Think again: Your own action is all that you can decide upon.
Later you can try to judge and to grumble and to smartass, but then you cannot change things anymore with that.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
There I would expect you to read also the other parts of my comment…
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
police were extinguishing the guy
Obviously, the guy did not want to live.
Human life is to be protected, rescued etc. in all cases.
We need to stay absolutely clear with that, because everything else creates terrible moral problems, for you and all the people around.
And if you want to start thinking such thoughts right there in a situation, it costs way too much valuable time.
Exceptions need to have very clear and very strict rules and the responsible persons (doctors for example) need to be educated properly.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
As long as nothing else is at risk of catching fire
And afterwards you want to be responsible for having decided that?

up to 400mb/s NNB, or Native Neural Bandwidth
Do you really think your brain has such high bandwidth? 😇
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
We’re already starting to run into the limits of silicon as it is
But we have started to run into these limits year after year, for about the last 30 years 😉
