In many cases Dutch-produced food out-prices locally produced food. Even with transport costs. On one hand, you could say cheaper food is nice. On the other hand, employing local people to keep money in local economy to produce slightly mor

SF is a problem is we'd consider any non-San Franciscans as immigrants. And, given size of US, it would be correct. I'm really sorry for the old San Franciscans of the old era. It sucks when your city becomes a magnet of big money

IMO human rights is a subset of negative rights. Can it be a non-questionable human right to force others to provide you something? Granting people that others will provide them something is fine. But it must be possible to discuss such top

Proton is Swiss only in shell company registration. Development and management is not Swiss.

With your definition of „human rights“ we can just abolish the term altogether. The beauty of human rights was that it was supposed to be a well-defined set of core things. Which can't be granted, they just shouldn't be stamped on

No, let people in other places live as they're used to and don't get overrun and outpriced of their home.

Or just chasing some girls. Too many jokes about catholic priests having good time with their housemaids. Young cleric visits a seasoned priest. After the visit, priest can't find his utensils. Thus he mails him: - I don't want to

Just a reminder that Catholic priests are forbidden to have any family or romantic relationships.

Early child development depends on parents a lot. For better or worse. Especially if parents are against the new environment and double-down on their values. E.g. pro-education parents moving to not-so-pro-education locations. Their kids pr

Yes, I did read. It's funny when something works, literally saving lives, but is called „unethical“ because somebody can't figure out a synthetic test. Call me conspiracy theorist if you want, but I smell anti-depressant makers mo

You’re wrong. Your own article says that CBT does work. I’m not a big believer in CBT, but I know for sure antidepressants, as they are used nowadays, is one massive scam. For the record, I do support antidepressants usage to get out of ver

Yes. Anti-depressants is just to give the initial lift out of a very dark place. They won’t cure anything.

Clinical depression is not an attitude. But in vast majority of cases some attitudes was the cause.

Changing job on your own accord is not the same as getting fired. And worst-timing-to-get-fired olympics is a great sport :) On a different topic, people working abroad on crappy visa schemes made their own bed. I'm pretty happy I refu

Nice job comparing worst-possible job changing scenario vs „assuming your business can afford it“ turning down a customer. Changing job is easy too assuming you can easily do it ;)

Next problem, how do we make sure tracking and profiling isn't happening under the table? Or more likely in an (most of the time) unplugged server in the back of the server room.

Yes. But courses on dropshipping don't teach you how to teach others to do dropshipping.

This is „selling shovels in a gold rush“ and has flat hierarchy. MLM requires the mid tier to aggressively re-sell it down the line. Which is where the worst part comes from.

For example - insolation. If somebody builds a massive apartment building in place of a detached house, its neighbors would get much more shade.

That feels like a strawman because most people do knowledge those costs. But they are negligible in the long run. €300 for a tire set over 5 years (but probably longer) literally €5/month. Occasional oil change works out to similar cos

I've no idea for US either, but 600 USD/mo looks weird. For me here in Lithuania it was cheaper than that even while I was paying off my car. Now driving a paid-off-but-well-maintained car is more like €150/month for ~ 1k km
