Ehkä olen sitten jotenkin epätavallisen nuuka tai jotain, mutta en pysty kuvitella tilannetta missä ottaisin noin paljon lainaa. Joku 200k€ on aivan ehdoton kipuraja ja onneksi omasta mökistäni on maksettavaa alle puolet tuosta. Stressaan jatkuvasti raha-asioista vaikka on 2 vuoden puskuri työttömyyden varalle, mutta noilla koroilla menisi kyllä koko elämä uusiksi heti jos työpaikka lähtee.

Vanha puuliiteri alkaa päivä toisensa jälkeen enemmän ja enemmän muistuttamaan työverstasta. On tässä vielä puuhaa, mutta mikäs sitä työttömänä rakennellessa. Kuinkakohan paljon täällä pitäisi valmistaa linnunpönttöjä ettei tarvisi yrittääkkään löytää uutta työpaikkaa.

En nää mitään syytä miksi Musk suostuisi tuohon. Hänellä ei ole mitään urheilu tai kamppailulajitaustaa. Zuckerbergillä on treenitaustaa MMA:sta ja BJJ:stä joista jälkimmäisessä on voittanut mitallejakin.

Didn't read the article but headlines like this are extremely naive. If a person takes seriously the existential risk factor of AGI/ASI then that's by definition the most important thing one can pay attention to. That's like asking a deeply religious person to stop worrying about hell.

I can easily spend 30+ hours a week jacking off and watching porn. I don't know about you but I have a feeling that's probably not the healthiest habit.

I drink several cups a day but even if I don't I still feel the same. I'm not one of those "don't talk to me before I've had my coffee" -guys. I just drink it out of habit and because I like the taste. I don't feel like it effects me in almost any way. I can even drink a cup few hours before sleep. I guess you could say it's an addiction since I do it every day and don't want to stop but I'd still rather just consider it a habit in my case.

I don't like the casual use of the word "hate"

Maybe it's just me but hate is quite an extreme emotion. It basically means you want something killed/destroyed. I know people don't often really hate the thing they claim to hate but I'm far enough on the spectrum to not take words literally.

I just find that they taste better. It's the tastiest part of the chicken, especially the wing tip with 2 bones. Airfryer cooks them really nicely

I don't think they/them is the ideal word to replace he/she with either. It probably needs to be a whole new word. They/them exists in my language too and it's used when you're talking about multiple people. It's confusing to say "they did something" when you're speaking of a single person.

Wouldn't be surprised if the (mostly) political right that seems all these new pronouns as stupid would also ironically be against giving up on their own gender specific pronoun for a gender neutral one.

Just fight? Nobody. Fight to death? Probably Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un or Ali Hosseini Khamenei.

People should keep in mind that even if we stop adding more carbon into the atmosphere today it still wouldn't stop climate change because all the carbon we've put there already isn't going anywhere. To truly stop and reverse climate change requires carbon capture in one way or another. It's something we have to do.

I used to agree with you and still do in a way since I have quite negative attitude towards fat people. However I now realize that while calories in - calories out applies to everyone we're still different especially in the way we experience hunger.

I'm thin and fit myself but I eat like shit. What differentiates me from fat people however is that I only eat about 3000kcal of shit and then I'm full and it may take quite a while before I eat again but I also go to gym and mountain biking and stuff so I use all the calories too instead of storing them as fat. I also sometimes simply just skip dinner altogether because I don't feel like eating. I'm just lucky that I can still function just fine even with an empty stomach and I don't experience aggressive sense of hunger like some other people do. Also I hate cooking and eating. Takes too much time.

My theory for why this is is that my body is just better at switching from carbonhydrates to burning fat (converting it into glucose) and thus I don't experience the drop in blood sugar levels the way some other people do to whom it takes a while for this process to kick in so they crash hard after all the carbs are used up.

Gay community can be brutal. It's not the all-inclusive safe space some people like to think of it as. Gay or not they're still all male and are mostly into manly stuff and if one is not for example into femine guys it's not a taboo to say it out loud. Sexual harrasment is quite common aswell and probably wont get you canceled. Many would probably ban women from gay spaces if they could.

We don't need more pronouns. We need less of them.

In my native language there is no even he/she pronouns. The word is “hän” and it’s gender neutral. You can be male, female, FTM, MTF, non-binary or what ever and you’re still called “hän”. You can identify as anything you like and "hän" already includes you.

When people say they don't support capitalism then what is the system you see as a more viable alternative?

Edit: Imagine being downvoted for asking a question

I could but it's quite niche community I hang in which is not present here. I'm not active on twitter either but when I feel like posting something that's where I go to

If he bans adult content or something then I just move elsewhere. Now I just mute everything unrelated in my feed and mark as "not intereste" for all irrelevant suggestions. So far it seems to work well enough

As a large language model I can't confirm nor deny these accusations

Well duh how else are you going to protect yourself from all the other armed people on the beach?
