When I call a call center, I’m not looking for suggestions on how to solve the problem myself. This builds up nuclear level rage. If I’m calling it’s because I want to delegate the task of solving my problem to someone who can click buttons

If you’re sitting at a desk all day with a laptop you’re doing it wrong. Laptops are made to be moved around. You can lounge on a couch, or lay in a bed, thinking of solutions and occasionally sneaking a nap – working while dreaming. You ca

Cars in Europe are really more like appliances. Most people don’t really need them and will inevitably find some other solution if they become too expensive.

This is only a guideline, don’t treat it like a hard rule. There could easily be good reasons why a 2 point story took three weeks. Also gotta stop the negative bias. People will want to complain easily if your 2 point story takes you three

Is it possible Ukraine isn’t entirely innocent? Sure we assume they are from our point of view, but that’s the nature of propaganda, how do you really know what is reality?

Why does UK do this to themselves? Insisting on companies to take part in human rights violations is pure evil.

I think a great art installation would be some kind of video rental store shelves with boxes and boxes of fake movies you’ve never heard of. I long for the experience of wandering around as a thoughtless child looking at cover art. A book s

Fuck man, this hit me hard and unexpected. Ghost in the Wires was one of my favorite books. Was fun to read about a true hacker, definitely inspired me. He was too young. Can’t believe there is no black banner. This is hacker news.

Don’t know why people have objections to this, we already use bovine and pig valves in hearts, saves lives, improves health. I am comforted by the fact that if I ever need to rebuild a knee someday in the future, kangaroo tendons may be an

Since you don’t have a sense of smell, have you wondered if perhaps one of your other senses is enhanced in some way from using the spare brain matter? Do you have synesthesia?

Talc isn’t really used in sufficient quantities to cause cancer. So maybe this suit is justified? It’s kind of like those California cancer warning labels you find on everything but in practice the cancer risk is near zero, all it does is s

But what is the human impact? Extreme weather events, not really a big deal. More rain, more snow, hurricanes aren’t a big deal if buildings are built up to code. Crops dying could be a problem, except are crops really exposed to enough hea

We don’t deserve this planet, but also we don’t owe this world a thing. Fact is, humanity’s fate was sealed the moment we decided to stop living like savage animals and become civilized. As simple creatures, humans could live indefinitely u
