Imagine a major streaming service: Subscription through Apple 30USD/Month or 25USD/Month if you do it through this one click fintech app. The fintech app can even pay the streaming service for every customer they bring. So for the

The alternatives are Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo and others. Already the dominant brands in Europe. It doesn't have to be European, it has to be good and those are pretty good at much cheaper prices. They also offer premium models that Apple

I agree, maybe its possible to create a healthy weed culture. I've never seen one but maybe in some places they figured it out. Alcohol is similar, in some cultures the dominant drinking culture is very damaging one.

Okay, how does it look like to be slightly high? With alcohol stages are something like this: 1) First it makes you relaxed. With the help of the music and the company you start feeling integrated. Thats usually within the first hour of soc

I have never seen slightly high fun person, in my experience with smoking weed the aim is to get high as possible quick as possible and maintain it as long as possible. The range of effects is small and there's not much to desire on th

Sure, if you are gunning for a long and healthy life avoid alcohol. Also, helicopters, motorcycles, loud music, professions and places. You will miss out on stuff but it is definitely the safer path to take.

It happens when someone is very drunk. People socializing with alcohol are still a nice company to people who don't drink. The nice thing about alcohol is the dynamic range of its effects. The bad stuff start after the "tipsy&quot

Yes, alcohol is very bad if you drink it wrong. The core of what I say is that, drink it the right way(don't drink hard regularly, never drink alone) or don't drink it(you don't have to drink but you will be missing out). Don

That was a likable pope, non-christians and even non religious people tend to like the guy. I also enjoyed the memes about his lookalike in Game of Thrones. Rest in peace.

There's nothing about luck in this though, the "non-dud" ones were just able to push the problems under the rug and make it a problem of the people of the future. The reason why you end up with a dud through election is that

In my experience as a chronic immigrant, most people are nice but there are some a-holes who would want to harm you or see you get harmed but they would not act unless they feel in power. Therefore, most of the time you can just ignore them

The problem with discussing politics is that it gives you the kicks. Its very easy to get into a feedback loop and take things quite far off civility. I am also guilty of it, many times. IMHO there needs to be a mechanism for breaking the l

There're a few contradicting narratives going on: 1) Big companies actually don't innovate, they are slow and bureaucratic. It is startups that do innovation 2) Look at the top 10 companies by market cap, it's all the Chinese

I think the Europeans want to live in a society, have a good life and want all this to be coordinated by a common entity - the government. It’s also socially acceptable to take down the government you really don’t like. Be it by force or po
