To be fair to the reputation of Romanians on HN, the beggars and squatters around Finland, Norway, and Sweden are not ethnic Romanians even if they often are born there, but come from the Zigeuner/Gypsy/Roma people.

>> You can't. I went full circle on it. Once you get rid of the fear you see the religions for what they truly are: a mix of old politics and some cheap philosophy. Hehe this was me younger discovering pre Christian philosophy an

The church building made of stone or wood is made by man, and the priest too is just a man. The character/person Christ is described as “logos” made flesh. That means the ideal man embodies in this world the ideas of universal ethics a

Fearing God is important in Christianity, but let’s think about what that means? If “God” is the label we place on the force/spirit of creation/life in this world, then “fearing God” means to respect and subject yourself to the tr

Would you show me the contradiction in more detail please? When talking about case numbers, it’s (very) inflated by the large number of false positives in PCR tests. When speaking of deaths, at least where I’m around (Sweden, Denmark, Norwa

In Copenhagen there are charging poles in a lot of places, also in the inner city. They’re reserved for EVs. For this reason, it’s very easy to find parking with a EV and leave with a full tank. You bring your own cable which costs $120 (+2

A very large amount of cases are simply false positives. We have no idea how widespread the disease is, but it’s certainly less spread and deadly than feared. This has been talked about in non-mainstream news for a while, but is only recent

Makes sense. Just like no one should be forced to bake a wedding cake, rent out a car to a <25yo, not refuse a hire based on sex or race, it is also not right for any man to force an equal child of creation to host a website. Luckily the

Same in Sweden. I’d love to learn about how long queues are when health care is financed with tax (you are not a customer) like in SV/NO vs by the user like in Switzerland (you are a customer)

That’s a fair point! The example should be voluntarily paying a writer to write what I deem truth worthy, vs the state threatening with violence if I refuse to pay for what they want me to pay for. In my country Sweden the state media is ve

The state not punishing you for publishing is free speech. The state forcing you to pay for their publishing is forced speech. Working for a company like the BBC can not be ethical, if ethics are universal.

What a great idea for getting people to use your Amazon referral code! Very creative, value adding, and well executed. Will use!

Sorry if it’s not for you. I am rather frustrated by music teachers often even not knowing or being interested in the first principle of what they’re teaching, and think I was lucky to have a retired physics teacher teach me music. It is al

They’ve identified the same stars, but do the Han or Korean or Japanese have a story about 7 sisters?

The problem with guitar is the same as with PHP. PHP is a programming language where you can write anything. But due to its massive popularity among those who just want to get a website up, it’s easy to get stuck in a memorised copy-paste s

Thank you. I too was a guitar player of chords memorised for a long time, but took a gap year to study music. I’ll share how to level up so you don’t have to take a year off :). When I said the tones are divisions by 12 it was a small simpl

For anyone interested in getting a hang out of this, here’s is one way. In computing we have massive amount of logic gates and wires into and out of the computer - from this we can create all kinds of things. In music, you have intervals be

Forcing others to fund wars is not moral. Neither is forcing others to fund mobile apps. No one hinders you from donating to Signal if you wish, but if I am a Matrix user, do you want to use the violent force of the state to force me to fun

You are right - taxation is coercion and not virtuous. You are also right about representative democracy - the incentive is to have the state fleeze your neighbour as much as possible. For those working in the bureaucracy the incentive is t

What you’re wishing for is to force your fellow man to donate to a cause you deem worthy. EU funds don’t come from nowhere - they are taken from citizens. You go donate an hours wage a week instead; that’s virtuous.
