  • The general public is incredibly stupid on average. They absolutely vote for climate commitments and against change. You should have heard the whining coal mine workers on television when Germany decided to close them in a decade. The French pension system is out of balance due to longer, healthier lifes and needs a rebalance - but is not allowed to change because "it has worked so far". There was never a winning change in policy. Trying to save money on public services by privatization is a philosophy shared by many "free market" enthousiasts and sadly always takes preference over evaluation of money streams in public funding.

  • If you consider the human brain works in 90 min chunks for most things including sleeping, that is completely within spec. For another chunk of sleep, you need to go to bed 60-80 min earlier.

  • It was my language settings, German was turned off and therefore filtered out. You can not change or access them in the app interface hence my extra confusion besides this stupid way of handling language.

  • What a stupid example. Nurses and equipment are expensive, and get repaid in patients per hour. They would rather make money with your presence in the hallways and waiting rooms, and could route you/keep you waiting to optimize for capacity and profit.

    Better example would be the app controlled washing machine that tortures you into subscription with ads. Or vacuum. Or freaking light switch: I'll turn on the light after this message from...

  • Wow, the 4 regrettable shits. I can hear the sound of each of them. The warcries, the tears, the battlehorns; echoing through the stalls. The cheers of bystanders, united in awe and terror. The face of the warrior rising from the throne, blood-red and drenched in sweat.

  • Gifted people can show adhd like symptoms, meds don't work and the only treatment is to change your surroundings.

    General shortlist to wellbeing of humans:

    Basic needs: Eat, drink, sleep.

    Secondary needs: Sunlight, movement, social contacts.

    Beyond that: Recognition, intimacy, connection...

    If the first two layers go wrong, you already feel like shit because of that. Its additive, the more you can't fullfill, the worse you feel, and whatever other troubles you may have, add on top.

  • No, you need to do system maintenance on Arch at least once a year if you don't do it after each update. You need to merge configs (I love etc-upgrade from gentoo for this) and find and delete orphaned packages left behind by the rolling release that are still on your system.

  • Thank you for your rant.

    To add: Your SO is not a replacement for a social network. Don't hunt for the one, place people you click with at all distance levels as you get to know them. A healthy social network leads to healthy relationships.

  • I check for every game if I can get it on gog.com instead before I buy on steam, except if multiplayer would lock me into my gog friendlist. There's some surprising stuff over there, not only ancient games.

  • What a fool you are. I have moral superiority. How can you win an argument against that? What a grand and intoxicating innocence. How could you be so naive? There is no escape. No Recall or Intervention can work against me. Come. Lay down your opinions. It is not too late for my mercy.
