I'd mostly agree that suffering invades your mind without your desire for it to happen.

But so does pleasure, surprise, beauty. Those too can't be forced to happen, they're discovered.

That's a modern narative to misattribute or harness a way earlier pain.

There's famine and pain all throughout recorded history, all around the globe.

Like St. Vincent said: We're all born screaming

That's halve of the classic: "Every theory is wrong, some are usefull"

DVDs are the same idea but easier

One day usb-C will be able to do my taxes and walk my dog

Mandatory for how long? Can't be stuck with this shitty spec for years I hope?

A good therapist helps a lot

Funny thing is that, apart from recognising the name, most people forgot what the streisand situation was about.

Civillian ownership of drones will likely be heavily restricted

They're very easy to DIY though. Much easier than a plane.

The point is to have a bigger car than your neighbour!

Same. It being on a board like eli5 makes it even more spammy.

I find that digitalocean (which is a VPS provider) has great tutorials.

I often tend to search "how to X site:digitalocean.com", despite hosting almost everything on my own hardware.

That’s what scares me - not being wrong, but being convinced I’m right for reasons that are more about mood than method.

I think that'll be the case most of the time. The only known way to get a grasp of reality is cooperation, and the agreement to let experiment be the arbiter of truth. Which is difficult, as many systems can't easily be experimented on in isolation (and you're left with counterfactuals only).

Histories greatest thinkers struggled with this too. Descartes changed his famous postulate "je pense donc je suis" to "je doute donc je suis" later in life. ("I think therefore I am", became "I doubt therefore I am"). I read that as trading reason for emotion as core to his being.

If me and 5 friends read your a-hole, I bet all of us would come to the same conclusion.

Except when it does (1)

I don't get it

Can you explain why and how? Do you imagine other (better?) batteries, or the disappearance of the need for batteries?

Oh noo. Oh yes.

Show people that the left and center are able to provide

I wonder if they can, with the reversed population pyramid most EU countries experience.
