Its true that freedom can lead to harm but the alternative is much worse; no system is utopian but some systems are better than others. Collective authoritarian states can achieve great things but when they fail, they fail in very big ways

I think a lot of people in the United States do not fully understand the Crimea thing and Ukraine's stance on the area (before the conflict). I don't have an opinion on the matter other than to say it is probably worth learning m

for me it is the craftsmanship and just that mechanical movements are so interesting

yeah seems like his "obsession" did not include doing any research on mechanical watches at all.

by jimmyjazz14 4y ago
Those Vostoks are almost comically unreliable, most quality watches like a Seiko can go years (even a decade) without any maintenance even if routine maintenance is usually advised.

on a Seiko its usually pretty good but again its kinda in the "it depends" category.

Its easier to be a victim than a hero even in peoples minds.

These kinds of policies will not help the people they seek to, instead they will only lessen the public trust in science. Further I believe studies that may benefit the mentioned groups will likely be looked at with even more skepticism no

In time perhaps, but it could be a long road to that point. I would rather us avoid having to go down that path at all.

The act itself is also shallow, flowers are meant more of a symbolic gift; I give my wife flowers maybe to express love but if I just gave some random person flowers on the street without any further explanation then I have simply given tha

I'm gonna have to side with the locals on this one drone delivery seems more disruptive and potentially dangerous than the tiny benefits it might provide.

Its interesting that one of the most guaranteed ways to get down-voted online is to say the world isn't as bad as it seems, I would really like to understand the psychology behind that.

Well compared to the past we live in one of the most peaceful and prosperous times in human history one only need look at rising life expectancy to see that.

I don't discount the effects of pollution and consider climate change to be a very important problem to recognize that said, more humans are thriving (as in not starving to death or dying at young age) today than in any time in history

I completely agree but it seems like the rest of the world including my kids school makes this work hard. You are smart to keep the Youtube pandoras box from opening.

I think burnout is the brains mechanism to prevent you from doing non-productive work (or at least what it perceives as non-productive) the problem is most of the work we doing in corporate environments feels pretty non-productive. Most of

That's what I hate about it, its like a bad interactive movie. I also feel like the new Tomb Raiders focus way to much on combat and almost none on exploring.

My parents encouraged me to have hobbies which I appreciate but they did not force me to play an instrument.

by jimmyjazz14 4y ago
ah okay, well I certainly wouldn't criticize others parenting decisions I just know that for me that wouldn't have worked very well as a kid. My parents just made me work and do chores and music was something I did for fun away f

Even though I play multiple instruments I have pretty actively avoided even encouraging my kids to play a musical instrument I always felt like the more I pushed them into the less fun it would be for them. Honestly I probably would have g

yeah I'm pretty decent at guitar but nobody really cares they can easily find way better guitar players on Youtube. Honestly if you want respect from others learning to play musical instruments ain't going to get you very far in g

No offense but I'm glad my parents were not like you sounds like a lot of pressure to have hobbies your kids don't enjoy.

by jimmyjazz14 4y ago
Sounds like maybe you need some new coworkers because where I work we laugh and joke around all the time and nobody ever gets offended (or offers offense).

I've been able to laugh and joke around with people I work with from all over the globe (literally), its one of the most valuable tools I have found to create a sense of ease of friendliness in the workplace. Self deprecating humor is

The thing is, errands make kids happy, on the most part kids want responsibility and to feel useful. I agree not every adventure should be an errand though.

by jimmyjazz14 5y ago
Its not just personal risk tolerance that plays into it either. I would let my kids largely run free but I know I would probably have to deal with CPS if I did so.

I used to love artsy stuff then I realized that often they are not any better or deeper they just appear to be or the depth and meaning is projected on them through interpretation which has its place I guess.

I mean in some ways twitter did die ages ago in that its user base has stagnated over the years and its relevance has dropped outside of a certain powerful minority of users.

In some sense but if a platform takes a neutral stance on the content within it becomes as "ideological" as a pinboard in a super market. So yes the platforms content may reflect the ideology of those who uses it most the platfor
