Not to mention professional beggars that are hired from a company (black market) and don’t need the money. They are often more effective than the people that really need the money since are more relaxed about it.

These types of efforts might save money on health care costs long term

5284km this place feels like home because this is where I’ve slept for the last 4 years.

Two in the pinky one in the stinky

That sounds like an article that starts with a heading “What is flossing?” and ends with “We don’t know because it’s private”

Vote for Ed Davie if you get the chance.

Já maður, Bandaríkin sökka velkominn til landsins.

If people really insist then at least have a flag emoji

Maybe they’re scared that project Cybersyn would actually work

Upvote stuff I like such as positive news, shitposts, windows bad and Linux good posts.

Downvote rarely, only if the post is factually wrong or misleading and I’ve spent the time to confirm. “Person shreds other person” is a shit headline and unless he hit a 10 point debate combo with a knockout I’d Downvote.

“Breaking news”

Turn off the alarm clock

Kinda how they were “last man standing” in WW2. Everybody else got severely fucked and they won them over by with the Marshall aid program which got us to a bi-polar world with NATO in which the US was the hegemony.

After the fall of the Soviet Union and before the rise of China there was only one superpower that could act as such militarily and then US continued their power trip.

The swarm is coming

I personally really like lifting weights and running an the gym. You can do it all at home but having a barbell, squat rack, bench press, weight plates, dumbbells, treadmill, pull down machine, rowing machine and so on at home would take a lot of space at home.

Having it at a different place also helps a lot with motivation IMO, there’s a strong “at the gym I work out” effect instead of being at home where I can take a break and “continue later”.

Great first step but the vast majority of the work still needs to be done. There’s a big difference in getting 300m to the air and back and low earth orbit but Honda is an excellent candidate to get it done.

Originally queen could only move one square diagonally and the bishop (elephant) move exactly 2 spaces diagonally with a jump.

I do it for a lot of different reasons (example in parents):

• Game was good (Obra Dinn): To show appreciation
• Emotional or great story (Witcher 3): To digest
• Very hard game (Celeste): Bask is the victory
• Grindy game: Finally done so I can relax

It’s because a lot of the way humans go about their life is based on traditions. Getting everybody to switch from a system that already works pretty well is just a hassle.

Examples:

• English spelling is faaar from phonetic and children take longer to learn how to spell than in Spanish for example. (though, cough, enough, plough instead of something like thouğ, koff, enaf and the US plow)
• Metric system adopted globally would streamline a lot of global industries that have no cater to each system.
• Driving right side everywhere. Sweden switched but asking India to switch makes way less sense.
• Date formats. Arguably the best if everyone uses ISO 8601 but nobody does.
