These are prices for brand new ones

Soviet era apartments are still in use, we call them 'The Great Plate'. Their pricing is variable

That's called Freedom of Speech

I don't mind them speaking openly and I don't want to limit anybodies freedom of speech

The problem is that they're very often fundamentally wrong, and fanatically attached to their beliefs. They react with aggression towards any opinion that challenges their dogma.

This is some sort of social phenomena - maybe a result of poor education? Maybe depression and anxiety. Who knows.

For example in russia you have a strong presence of so called turbo-patriots - nationalists who believe russian propaganda and support the war against the Ukraine.

But the reasons why they think this way are pretty clear - they're product of propaganda, lies, and twisting the history in schools. The cult of the russia and it's leader is strong in these people

I own an apartment. I don't plan to own a house - as I understand it's an american dream, but I neither live in US nor am I US citizen. Expectations are different in other parts of the world.

Also the housing economy is very different here in Poland - its all about mass produced apartments, that cost equivalent of ~200-250k USD for 60m2 in a large city.

Don't confuse online populations with irl populations.

Online popultions do have some equivalent IRL. Outside of English speaking part of the internet, structure of these populations is completely different - neither socialism, tankies or LGBT have as much online presence as in US

Not surprising considering US has a neverending supply of communists, tankies, LGBT activists, weird religious cults and so on. All these people get exploited via their biases one way or another

This is the same problem as with coastline length - the higher resolution you'll use, the bigger the number you'll get. AFAIK this is solved by just standarization of calculation methods - there's just certain rounding to be applied in all cases so you get a comparable results

Odd indeed. These distros have outdated libraries, and things just dont work out of the box - it can be an absolute nightmare for a new user. Also Canonical once screwed up components of the Ubuntu by sheer incompetence, and didn't bother to fix them until next release 6 months later. Suggesting it to noobs is straight way to convert them back to windows

Because it's rigged against you. US has the most expensive health care in the world - It's not natural, this is crafted oligopoly to gouge the prices

I used Ubuntu initially - These distros aren't fine. Time wasted on fixing problems I shouldn't need to fix is wasted forever. It was a never ending stream of issues that wasted countless hours of my life

There are reasons not to elect him again - it just IMO isn't the crucial one.

Much bigger issue is lack of any criminal responsibility given by Supreme Court - he's a dangerous jackass who, if elected, will be above the law

There are better members of my family, and there are worse. I'd keep relations only with people who deserve it.

This constant shuttling of information back and forth is responsible for consuming as much as 200 times the energy used in the computation, according to this research.

Press x to doubt. I know moving data costs more energy than computation itself, but that sounds like a pure BS.

Run Linux. Use KDE desktop for windows 7 like experience - I stopped using windows 7 years ago - as long as you don't trap yourself in garbage popular distro like Ubuntu or Debian - you'll be fine. Install Fedora with KDE, or Manjaro. After some learning curve (no disk mounting by default, wtf?) it does it's job pretty damn good, (unless you don't play games with anticheat ect.)

After inflating the currency, Maduro, inflated his votes apparently

There was no national ban when he was previously a president. So, this is just a shit talk. Each state has it's own policy about these things anyway.

So he wants to be a permanent dictator? Sounds legit considering the SCOTUS verdict about no criminal reponsibility

They don't have language, so they can't have the internal dialogue.

But can they have imagination? Since many animals have dreams, then why not?

I got my first severe body modification when I was 11, a defibrillator

Well, you got it tough :(

yes there's risks to those meds, but more often than not they're beneficial

Of course - if there's health issue, taking medicine is perfectly justified. I would never negate that - it would be hypocritical, as I regularly take drugs for my own health issues

but hormones? nonono, that's way too dangerous! you might be one of the 0.00000001%* of people who regret it!

Are you familiar with HRT menopausal disorder treatment in the 90s? I remember, it despite being like 10y old at the time - mostly because ads were running in TV day and night, and I don't even live in US - this was popular world-wide. That was until in the early 2000s when very large scale testing suggested it's linked to breast cancer.

Despite menopausal disorder treatment being approved in the 1960s, it took almost 40 years to discover the negative impact. General conclusion was that in the end it didn't offer benefits that would justify the risks.

I'm not concerned about known risks of drugs I take - I'm generally concerned about risks I don't know. In some cases, it can take decades to properly evaluate all pros and cons.

I'm not writing this to scare you - your life is your choice. It just the mindset of drastically modifying your body at the very, very young age, in ways that may or may not result in a long term adverse effect is genuinely concerning. This is why I would never approve either sex change surgery, nor hormonal therapy for person below 18 years old.

More like, it shows that media will leech into anything.
