  • Even ascribing consciousness into others or ourselves is actually pretty stupid if you think about it.

    Stemming from religion there's this idea that human "souls" are somehow special and exist on a plane outside reality. But that's not the case.

    We are just semi-rigid blobs of mostly water that grew into weird shapes.

  • And Hitler planned to conquer the world.

    There's a good chance, you simply cannot retire in 30 years. Or at least not fully. State funded pensions are struggling worldwide. If less new tax payers are coming in, whose taxes pay your pension?

  • If you see the world that simplistic, maybe you should have refrained from procreating.

    Birth control can fail. Pills can be forgotten or interfere with other medications, IUDs can fall out unnoticed, condoms can break or slip off, etc.

    If you have sex often enough, the chances of having birth control fail at some point creep up to 100%, and if you're "lucky" that results in a pregnancy, and if the mother either has no access to abortions, or simply doesn't want one, you have a child.

    Unplanned doesn't mean unwanted or unloved. Many people in principle would like a child but don't know if now is the right time and this person is the right partner, but if random chance over, they'll take that hint and become parents.

  • As an academic discussion, sure.

    But why exactly are these guys in charge of almost everything to some degree? Economics is essentially string theory for people who are not smart enough for physics - theoretically maybe sound, but utterly useless for reality.

  • If you read the line above that quote: a million views. That's nothing.

    Essentially, a few guys make fun of Alexa, five people take it seriously, three of them are journalists desperately trying to find relevant content.

    Every time you read about a "new trend" or "a new challenge" or whatever, you can assume some journalist found three tweets from three 14 year olds all from the same school.

  • My great grandma spent the last three years of her life almost immobile from several consecutive strokes, almost blind from several problems she developed over the years, couldn't smell or taste anything. She was basically dying in slo-mo. Everything failed on her.

    The last months she essentially spent in a constant shit puddle, because here intestines somehow decided not to work properly anymore.

    It's horrible and inhumane to let people suffer like that. Every diseased stray dog gets more mercy.

  • None of your arguments are really an answer to anything.

    Every app, telegram, simplex, ICQ are single points of failure - by design - whereas services like xmpp/jabber or even the self hosted variants of signal, simplex or matrix don't have these problems. But they don't do that. At least nothing that I heard of.

    I think the reality is much more that most of the Nazis are inherently not constructive. They don't create anything, they have no real vision, just hate for whatever group they think is worst right now.

    They are literal leeches, they take over what they can get. Telegram, Twitter, now SimpleX. Volk ohne Messenger, if you want. There is exactly one platform that was created by them, truth social, and that's a grift by Trump and his team, not something growing from within the community.

  • No, they didn't. Especially not in relevant numbers: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1450450/employees-remote-work-share/

    This only starts in 2015 (I was too lazy to research your idiocy), but even then (very very much after the internet was a very relevant factor) we start at 7% and you can clearly see that there was an upwards trend at that time.

    So in short: get your head out of your ass and don't vomit you unfounded stereotypes and boomerisms on the general public.

  • Oh come on, are you really that boneheaded not to understand that you're not the norm?

    I literally had not a single power surge in my entire life. The only power outages I had were for a few minutes maybe three times in the last 15 years.

    The larping refers to you. Either you are truly an outlier who actually runs a small DC, or you just like the feeling you can get pretending to do so.

    Your attitude is roughly the "only gold plated cables made from solid silver" equivalent in audiophiles. Technically maybe correct, practically a self-important waste of money.

  • It's not just capitalism. I'm from east Germany and you wouldn't believe how much crap was buried, fumed into the air or pumped into the water in the name of peace and socialism.

    Don't forget, Chernobyl happened because of a cost saving measure.

    BTW, you forgot alcohol, tobacco, vapes, stress and enforced sedentary lifestyle in your cancer list.
