  • I switched newspapers when I noticed that every time my newspaper write about something I actually knew about, they wrote garbage.

    Sapiens does present some really powerful ideas, though. I enjoyed it a lot, but the book clearly glosses over a lot of details. Then again, it tries to tackle a ridiculously big scope, so I can see how it can’t get into all of the details. I still consider it a worthy read despite its shortcomings. But read it more for the ideas than for the facts.


  • Googling stuff online doesn’t make you a programmer either. You still have to learn it, know how to apply what you look up, understand how the computer works. Although it’s easier to learn by yourself, at least partially because there are no lives at stake.

    And doctors look up plenty of stuff too. Only a fool would think they already know everything.


  • I’m absolutely baffled at Labour. The Tories were a complete clown show, and it should have been trivial to put up some serious opposition against them, but they never did. Only when the Tories really burned out, did Labour win, and they’re immediately giving us Tories-light. The same shit, just toned down 20%.

    When does the UK start voting for better parties? Replace the Tories with LibDem and Labour with the Greens. If I lived in England, I’d be upset I couldn’t vote for SNP. Every other party is better than these two.




  • What a poorly written piece of garbage propaganda. It starts with the lie that the US started the in Ukraine, when it’s only Putin who wanted that war, and only Putin who can stop it. If it was a proxy war, would Trump be sucking up to Putin? If Ukraine was the US’s puppet, Trump’s surrender to Putin would have worked and Putin’s conquest would have been successful.

    Instead, the Russian economy is struggling because a million soldiers were sacrificed at the frontlines while many others fled the country. It’s only China propping them up that allows Russia to continue their pitiful war.

    Hours is enough to empty them. If I see them parked in front of our house late in the evening, I don’t think they’re going to go out anymore today. It’s far more likely that they forgot to turn them off than that they intentionally kept them on.

    Fortunately, they rarely flash, but burn continuously. I think the flashing ones are illegal here, and they can be super annoying.

    Way back when I was a student, I was at a girl’s place for some project we had to do together, and she (and this is going to date me) showed off her stereo setup that she had hooked up to her PC to play Wolfenstein 3D. Later we also ended up watching TV on her couch together.

    It took a decade before that quarter finally dropped.
