> What is your take on the entire situation? Terrifying, I’ve been working around the clock to evacuate my friends and their families from Ukraine. Even now many are very reluctant to leave, trying to convince themselves that the war wil

People in these countries don’t really trust their currencies, many have their salaries paid in USD or Euro. Most Russian consumer goods are foreign imports that were paid for in USD. Today all banks in Moscow have been full of people tryin

Then you have no idea what you are talking about. I own a lot of property in Moscow, have lived there for years. These sanctions will devastate the Russian economy, they are truly hitting key pieces. Sberbank and VTB are enough to have seve

Lol, your comment makes it particularly clear that you have no idea how antivirus software usually works. > It was found to be uploading files to Russia when their algo figured it was good docs for the Russians to have. Not documents, bu

It’s just the nature of working for someone else.

That’s a bit too simplified, but yeah. Unfortunately top level managers have far more control over the output of the business than low level laborers.

So what evidence do you have that humans behave in this way regardless of culture?
519.
by rosndo 5y ago
What you’re spewing out is utterly nonsensical. This is cultural, not something we’re inherently born with. Muggings are inherently worse, someone taking your freedom and possessions under the threat of violence.

What you’re saying still doesn’t make any sense in context unless you’ve misinterpreted me very badly.

Are you arguing that this is an inherent part of human nature? Your comment doesn’t make any sense otherwise. Could you provide some evidence to support that claim? I am claiming is that this isn’t an inherent part of human nature, and ther

by rosndo 5y ago
It’s precisely the opinions of other people which makes it extremely traumatizing. Lets not pretend that this is some inherent part of human nature.

I’m not sure that you know what that means. What straw man are you referring to?

> If your solution is "the victims shouldn't make such a big deal of this", that's wishful thinking not a solution. That’s a really twisted interpretation of what I wrote. Rather, I believe that we should strongly con

Sure, but being involuntarily filmed while having sex is currently much more harmful than being involuntarily filmed while golfing. There is no good reason it has to be this way, sex is one of the most normal activities one could be engaged

Those minutes were really saved by the person who decided to hire cafeteria workers in order to boost employee productivity, not as much by the entirely fungible cafeteria workers.

Which law?

by rosndo 5y ago
Involuntary porn is so harmful specifically because of the moralistic aspect of nudity. We could just accept that sex is normal and a video of you fucking isn’t different than a video of you playing golf.
529.
by rosndo 5y ago
Yeah, it’s really pathetic that we accept this as horrible without questioning whether or not it needs to be that way.
530.
by rosndo 5y ago
It makes perfect sense. More people watching porn -> More people noticing that they can’t get hard anymore?
531.
by rosndo 5y ago
You’re using the wrong measurements. “Working hard” is meaningless, it’s about your output.

by rosndo 5y ago
Because of a poor understanding of basic economics. Many people mistakenly believe that this is a zero-sum game.

So based on the video I guess they use technical analysis of bitcoin prices to investigate … crimes? I wonder when we’ll see a secret service telegram channel for trading tips.

> The class system is overblown. Vastly different 'classes' don't mix much in any country. Also it’s an exclusively British thing. As a foreigner you can safely ignore all that nonsense, especially in the London bubble.

> Germany also has good public services. There's more support for walkable/bikeable living than the UK. Are you joking? Surely he speaks of London when he speaks of FAANG jobs in the UK. This is a far more walkable/bikeabl

by rosndo 5y ago
Depends on how much you make. UK (London) offers the best quality of life if you have tons of money to spend. Germany is fine if you don’t have much money to spend. Don’t expect to find any luxury though. Switzerland is great if you have to

First, nobody cares that much unless they know you’re guilty. Second, just obviously spend a little money and time on those things? It’s a minor cost to run shitty ad campaigns. The business doesn’t need to be good , it just has to look re

US is not hostile towards Europe. Russia is. Nobody gives a shit about the bad stuff US is doing elsewhere. It is utterly irrelevant to this conversation about European decisionmaking regarding Russia. What you’re getting at is meaningless
540.
by rosndo 5y ago
I’d guess that the dissatisfaction with US troops in Germany goes up based on how far the polled people are from the closest base. It’s easy to be unhappy with some remote evils that aren’t significantly contributing to your local economy.
