Well, germany seems to be rather special. I already know two couples personally that moved from my home country to germany, only to come back after some years again. They both tell the same story: It was almost impossible to find friends,

Now that you mention it, I definitely prefer being childish over oldfarty. In fact, I always thought "the day I begin to look down on partying people is the day I finally have to admit I am old now."

You must be very fun to hang out with.

Sure, if you hear something often enough, it stops being special. However, I don't think I will get particularily used to it, because I am likely not going to have any contact with it. FaceBook is the last platform I have. All the h

This reads a bit like someone trying to force a romantic relationship. Yes, we're no kids anymore, but this doesn't mean we're entitlted to anything. Relationships only really work, or are really fruitful, if not forced. S

I can't help it, the name always triggers me. The first association I have with this name is "a social network built especially to be controllable by the feds."

Point taken. Thanks for correcting me and actually taking the time to understand what I was really trying to say. And thanks for the very appropriate word suggestion. "democracy isn’t a panacea" is indeed a very concise way of

I believe the time of revolutions is actually gone. We've reached a point where the comfort we're enjoying in the west is baasically preventing revolutionary change. Because even though there might be things you dont like about

Make it economically bad times, and the customer a shady actor. Will the company deliberately close and stop offering its services, despite needing to put food on the table? Or will the company just go along and do the coding for shady cu

That was my cynism. Democracy seems to be used as a wildcard to say "we are the good people" awfully lot recently, which gets my attention.

My eyesight started to deteriorate around the age of 7, and went completely away roughly 5 years later. I was always a rather visual person, but still kept my ability to visualize complex scenery roughly only for about 5 years. At the age

No, yoou can't. Claiming otherwise is pretty naive.

Morale in a for-profit company is a virtual concept, it simply does not exist in reality. Claiming it does is likely delusionary or an attempt to hide the truth.

Sorry, but democracy is not automaticcally a guarantee that there is no corruption. I can tell, because I am living in a supposedly democratic country which has gained quite a number of points in the corruption-index recently...

I believe SEO spam has alreaedy ruined Google. So no need to wait for an AI-originating event. The data-apocalypse is already here.

Same here. When he was still young, my cat used to sit on my shoulder while I was trying to get computer work done. He passed away almost 2 years ago. I haven't been able to get another cat yet because I am pretty convinced he was s

I just came here to share this, because it moved me deeply when I first saw it, and it somehow fits here. "What happens as we die? | Kathryn Mannix" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZDDByT0Vr0

With all this consciousness discussion, and consciousness being a purely subjective thing. Please explain why you assume by default that every human actually has a "real consciousness"? How do you substantiate this assumption? A

"After corona was used as a testbed", better? I realize covid-mandates were perceived differently from country to country. Where I live, we first had a push for a general vaccination mandate, which was later more or less silently

After corona was pushed through, and given that the child-per-woman count is already approaching 1 in many western countries, I believe you are wrong. A one child policy could easily be pushed only with the right narrative and public opini

I own no car, never have. In exchange for becoming a vegetarian, am I allowed to continue to eat meat in your world? Or do I have to change my lifestyle because a group of bigots is pointing fingers?

Having to experience weird behaviour on a more or less regular basis is not how relationships are supposed to work, thats what I'm saying . There are spouses out there who treat their partner with respect and love, not like a tool to

My comment was not about the onions, but about the "you can eat this at home while I go and find myself some other food elsewhere." part of the story.

Use a hardware token, then. They are not particularily expensive, and should free you from needing to look at your personal phone at work...

Thats my point. Certain people just love drama, and even want casual online discussions like this one to show how dangerous the world is, and how right picky people are in being right... Drama(queen)s all around, what would our world be w

Add Covid-19 and the resulting mandatory vaccination witch hunt to that list.

Might be. But an abled-body person yelling at another, calling them names for parking in the wrong spot, is likely not going to help either. In my experience, someone standing up for me seldomly did anything good for me . They might feee

Because only roughly 5% understand what it is all about. The rest, roughly 95%, use opportunities like that to show what great justice warriors they are, but failing totally to represent the wishes of the disabled correctly. I am sure you

Entitled to special treatment. A modern phenomenon. A good sign that you should move on to a different partner.

I applaud the fact that there was apparently no plan. I am done with government planning things for the masses. The pandemia has shown that they are definitely not capapble of doing so, and if they try, they end up becoming more totalitari
