  • Some Americans believe we're screwed in Europe. I had a US boss trying to "save me" from the "socialist hellhole" that is Switzerland by trying to convince me to move to the US. Some believe Islam is going to sweep across Europe and turn us all into jihadists.

  • You have to see this guy's routine. His life is built around attempting to extend his longevity. He lives like a luxurious lab rat being pocked, prodded, measured and eats/drinks/sleeps/exercises on a ultra-strick program.

    It seems miserable.

  • Kind of a compromise for smaller countries that want to have a standing army. And some countries offer alternatives like civil service or paying additional taxes instead for those that don't want to serve in the military.

    The US having expensive higher education driving poorer people to join the military to afford it is bleaker honestly.

  • Michelle Obama tried tackling this and fast-food PR destroyed her with claims she was "fat shaming".

    There's a huuuuuge lobby to fight in order to solve this and it should be tackled. But again, profits will be put before people's health and lives.

    The obesity problem in the US is so bad, the Army is facing issues finding enough recruits fit for service. There's even a program to get people back into shape just so they can try to get into the Army.

  • In those times there had been more than one popular free app that suddenly started installing crap on user's machines.

    I guess he just didn't want to become attached to junkware being installed on people's machines.

    I don't have the details but may they wanted to buy the source code from him and close it?

  • It's because Jean-Baptiste Kempf is a GOAT and said "non" to fuck-you amounts of money to sell out VLC.

    I don't know if I've had the strength to say no to that much money and obviously, that kind of cash has corrupted all but a few bastions of what makes the Internet an awesome place.

    Shoutout to Raymond Hill of uBlock Origin fame and all those supporting the lists it depends on. Some many adblockers sold out (including the original uBlock) but he champions on making the Internet a remarkably better place when used. Dude even refuses donations (says list maintainers deserve it more).

  • Just look at the overlap of religious fundamentalists and conspiracy believers.

    They got the most crooked and bonkers president elected. Ah yes, the spoiled NYC billionaire is going to save the children from the lizard people. Praise be!
