Yeah the politics is annoying at this point, it feels like 60% on the front page is politics. I'm glad when the US votes are finally over.

Yeah, I have made the experience that most communities on the german-speaking feddit.de were great, but after that had technical issues and went down for 4 months (!), the content isn't as good anymore and the users are more frustrating.

I guess crime exists due to two reasons:

• poverty exists. as long as poverty exists, people seek a way out.
• organized crime exists. it draws people in.

So, pacifying the country needs a two-sided approach. On the one side, you must show people how to live a good life without being reliant on crime for basic necessities. People must be able to support themselves without falling back on criminal organizations.

On the other hand, probably the bigger issue, is that these crime organizations have a lot of money, and demand for labour-force. that means that they actively recruit new people, and draw people in. organized crime mostly exists because there's too much money being made on the black market by selling/trafficking drugs. So I guess that it would make sense to legalize drugs (at least to a certain extent), because every $1 spent legally when buying drugs is a $1 you take away from the black market, and therefore crime organizations.

without watching the video - google search is falling apart because there's a lot of shit content, a lot of bad articles being written.

and there's a lot of bad articles being written because there's a lot of authors that just want to make money from advertising, without actually caring about the content. in other words, it's advertising's fault that the quality of content is dropping. and ironically, it's mostly google's fault that advertisement on the internet got so big as it is today.

on mobile? do you really wanna know?

we live in very special times. take a step back and appreciate how transformative the recent years are.

for a billion years, life existed on earth. in the last 200 years, we invented electricity, electric cars and transistors.

I guess people are afraid of sending E-mails and doing phone-calls for this reason.

The fear of accidentally pasting a porn-link into an email is immense. So much that I clear my copy-clipboard regularly, just to be double-sure.

it's me me meee right?

Right now I can think of the buddhist "tale of the bug".

Two (human) friends died and were reborn. One in heaven, the other as a dung beetle (a type of bug) on a dung pile.

The guy in heaven tried to "help" his friend by going down to Earth and carrying his friend to the skies. But his friend refused, because the dung pile was now his home, and he didn't want to leave at any cost. Only then the guy realized that it is not heaven that makes you happy, but finding the place that you're destined for.

People are freaking out because for years, the central dogma was to "educate yourself, that makes you special, that makes you unique, that guarantees you a prosperois economic future" and such, and now this promise is about to be broken. People are in denial: AI is a good thing.

The cold, and the fact that I love my long trousers, they fit my tshirts so well.

Well tbf you could argue that having to earn money is forced labor, and therefore a form of slavery, as well. Just that you get to choose your (ab)user.

do those orbits get larger over time?

Yes, I think they do.

I think that expansion doesn't increase distance, but velocity between objects (or so was my interpretation back when I looked at the formulas). That means that moving objects speed up over time. As such, orbital velocities increase, too, and that lifts their orbit - similar to when a rocket on a closed orbit propulses forward.

But I might be wrong; I feel 70% certain about this one.

I don't know why I just read "UNIX" in a french accent.

I do wonder why people buy smart TVs instead of getting regular displays together with a Linux PC.
