After having the displeasure of visiting Frankfurt and having to spend about a month using the main train station... I have to agree. I didn't really understand why junkies would line up at pharmacies until like the 3rd day... until I

Not just privacy, but egalitarianism and justice. A society is not fair nor just when its members hold asymmetric power over others.

He doesn't waste time mincing onions, at most he'll showcase how to do one with proper technique. He has entire videos dedicated on how to chop vegetables and prepare meat. His videos take a long time because he doesn't bulls

Yeah but if you're a newbie you're not really seeing the whole thing. That's the problem in my opinion. You're told to stir until golden brown, wait till the jiggle is just right, etc. You edit out the boring bits becaus

I'm not really surprised. There's a youtube channel called Chef Jean Pierre. He is a retired Chef that used to run a restaurant since the 1970s, has cookbooks, was featured on PBS, etc. (Some say he has a more colorful past with h

But that's not at all the reason why. Even the article explains it. They sold well but Chevrolet's quality control is bad. They lost money because of recalls and lack of good control processes to make these cars. They ran a cost

Considering that: The U.S by itself consumes and pollutes an excessive amount even proportionally compared to China , there's definite optimizations in consumption patterns that can be made to reduce total overall carbon footprint. Pl

What? You can ask chatgpt to make a joke about men and it will comply. Ask it to make a joke about women and it will stumble over itself about discrimination and harassment. It can't fucking handle anything that can remotely be contriv

I'm finding myself in the odd position of desiring an older car to not put up with the bullshit. I don't need OnStar, I don't need lane assist, I don't need self driving. I don't need my fucking car to brake for me

To whom? Your employer? Perhaps if you work in a country that values your employment more and your employer is fair with their wages, then maybe your loyalty is warranted. I don't really think that is the case in the USA. Executives ar

When you can generate close to a million usd a year, keeping it up for 5 formative years doesn't seem that bad. You can coast for the rest of your life on very little work afterwards.

It's 2023. The site has been around for 19 years. If they haven't gotten it right by this point, they never will. And its "probably" that way by design.

Yup, that's what happened to a former friend of mine. 2020 Rolls around, stock market goes crazy, everyone starts talking about something called "options". Few weeks later everyone lost a little bit of money and tapped out, n

What a strange post. You realize those empires that practiced polygamy were brutally oppressive, yes? Women didn't so much have a choice as in forced into polygamy because they were treated as property and that's about as far away

Actually its the opposite. Digital media makes it far easier to copy, redistribute and modify, hence why there's so many restrictions placed on it. If I wanted to sell my Beatles LP I could do it no problem, because reproduction of it

We live in a world where the common notion of buying something and owning it has been completely violated. I don't "own" the movie, music, or digital media I buy, I am merely "temporarily renting it" through "l

My cheeky wager is that U.S pupils from yesteryear actually had a better globalist understanding of the origins of science than students today, only because modern textbooks have gotten shittier and watered down. (And sometimes even needles

>However. There are also old timers who refuse to delegate, only ever giving mindless tasks and not training the new folks to be self-sufficient. “They would just screw it up, it’s better if I do just do it, it’s both faster and better.”

That's absolutely not at all how it works. If you tank your stock price you tank your ability to raise funds which tanks your debt. Your stock price is absolutely important to running your company.

If they cut dividends they get kicked out of a multitude of basket goods retirement products which will absolutely bomb the living fuck out of the stock price and send them on an even worse death spiral.

It's kind of interesting, house prices have exponentially gone up while wages remain stagnant and there's more commodities to spend your money on. I don't necessarily think our parents' generation would've been off

There's a method for deconstructing an opinion to eliminate bias and examine it through as objective of a lens as possible. This generally helps ground a lot of irrationality. Their conclusion might not necessarily be correct, but as y
