Just because you can make money a certain way doesn’t make it right to do so

In my experience long videos on YouTube are extremely inefficient at conveying information, often repeating themselves in order to pad out the length. This is even the case for the better creators

> This is the same for most of the rest of the "postmodern" canon. I genuinely can’t think of anyone less postmodern than Hegel. He’s a pure rational traditionalist who believed completely in objective truth and morality and gr

Hegel really isn’t as difficult as you’re making out. Your inheritance of the popular idea that he is nonsense is the only thing stopping you

I don’t think there is any such law, not that I could find. Telekom refuse to make the connection. They say that if it isn’t there when the apartment is built a new one can’t be added. I live in an attic conversion

They actively look for ways for infinity to happen. Look at Eli's irate response to Roko's basilisk. To him even being able to imagine that there is a trap means that it will necessarily be realised. I've seen "rationali

Even Aristotle knew that reason was just an aspect of being a human and not the whole thing To be honest the only philosopher I know of who convincingly argued that everything is reason is Hegel, but he did so more by making the idea of rea

That isn’t a counter point at all. Of course the NHS saves some people. That doesn’t mean it isn’t absolutely horrific. British people are infected with some kind of brain worms where they can’t accept that the NHS is in a dire state becaus

They’re not only socially tiring but philosophically uninteresting

Are you joking? Japan?

People replying to you don’t understand the utter failure of the UK, particularly the NHS, which is an abominable evil disgrace that unnecessarily kills and tortures many people every day

My coworkers have passed their Probezeit, do you think it's also like them too? Also, what is with the negativity? Are you depressed? I bet you're just going to say "I'm a Marxist" or something

This feels a bit too far in the opposite direction to the point of hurting yourself

I just started a new job in Hamburg, Germany, same location as the author, and one nice thing they have here is an extremely negative view on overtime, making it very encouraged to remain within hours

Fun fact if you want to change your office hours timezone to something other than the US default in Teams, you can't do it from Teams, you can't do it from Outlook, you can ONLY do it from the settings in the Outlook web app . Ab

You can have that with conditional love. It sounds like your marriage is just bad

I think another big difference is that in the UK higher education is not really valued. In Germany people get PhDs because then they can get into much higher paying jobs, even if the PhD is not in a topic related much to the job. For exampl

Much slower than I would have guessed

I have a PhD, maybe that's the difference. I asked for 65k but they refused and gave me 73k

Sure it’s just the original question is “I don’t get why they don’t do it” and “because it’s hard” is the answer

Fair enough I’m just saying I live in Germany and just entered my first software position and get 73k, and I don’t live in Berlin or anything. I suppose in Spain living expenses are much cheaper. Your monthly expenses including food are les

There’s also a huge difference between accidentally implementing an application of something vs spotting that it is a general principle

I’d say that yes it adds huge value but that doesn’t necessarily make it easy to do

Honestly it can just feel weird. Like when I praise someone I feel like I’ve put both me and the other person into an emotionally vulnerable state. Sometimes it feels more comfortable to remain detached and “professional”. Could just be my

I'm not joking when I say I'm 30 and I still don't understand how to use a calculator without a proper display where you see the entire expression to be evaluated. At school in the UK we all had calculators where entire expre
