  • Finding oil tends to fuck up a nation, making the nation's other industries unable to compete due to the currency being too strong.

    That Norway succeed in remaining a stable state after finding oil is a bit amazing, seeing as oil nations tend to become ruled by oligarchies.

    I.e., the guy you're responding to makes no sense. Having oil usually means that you become an undemocratic hell hole.

  • Night owls tended to see the dress correctly.

    It has something to do with how good people are at looking at visual keys in the picture to determine the color.

    All colors are pervieved relatively. Vsauce on YouTube has a good video on this

  • This just shows how putting all eggs into one basket is a bad idea.

    Only the fewest of few instances should have used .ml - they should have spread out. This is the beauty of the fediverse when done as intended.

    The only drawback I see, is that people want to make instances bigger, scaling tall, when they should have been scaling wide + wanting to use the same odd TLD. We reap what we sow.

  • Tech people will almost always be progressives. This is the way it'll probably always be.

    USA only have two "real" parties. The republican party who is now seen as regressive and the Democrat party who are seen as progressive (they used to be the opposite back in the day)

    To me, the word "freedom" is toxic and a non-starter. Most western societies are free.

    Coming from a country with many parties, having only two options is undemocratic. Affiliating with only one is reductive, especially when the parties change course all the time.

    So, to respond to your comment:

    Both parties are a bit shit, as they don't need to self-regulate because of their duopoly.

    Democrats are more progressive than republicans, thus people with higher educations will gravitate this way.

    No voting system is perfect, but FPTP is one of the worst, and imo is the main reason for the culture wars - which is virtue signaling fluff to keep the poor angry (doesn't matter which side they're angry with) by making them stop voting based on wealth redistribution, and instead on issues invented by politicians to keep the gravy train running.

  • I don't really care where the pizza dough comes from, or who makes it - it's the tasty pizzas I keep coming back for.

    In my route there I pass by 3-4 pizza places. When you got a good product, I wanna drive for it.

  • Where I live, the pizzas go from €10 (cheap) to €20 (expensive)

    The €20 ones use dough imported from Italy, whereas the €10 ones definetly taste cheaper.

    I cannot speak for burgers, but pizzas definetly do have range where I live - and I'm considering getting a nice quality oven at some point, to make the €20 types myself
