Free speech shouldn’t be a thing and the countries that go furthest with this “right” are dying because of it (looking at you, USA). Before anyone says “what about when it’s your opponents controlling the speech?”: they already do where I live and with my beliefs, and I still think it’s within the rights of the government to control speech
We also need people sharing their niche interests and creating discussion… Reddit thrives on these small communities that only find an accessible entrypoint on their platform.
It’s based off the best selling game ever with one of, if not the most dedicated and obsessed fanbase, and appeal to children. The Minecraft IP made so many people millionaires with content creation, it shouldn’t be a surprise that the same consumers would go see the official movie
I don’t know about stopping entirely. I built a pretty cool RAG system for internal use in my company, it very much facilitates navigating very large amounts of text data.
It makes the user look and feel more “feminine”, if I understand correctly. Different kinds of hair growth, smoother skin, this sort of stuff. Depending on the age you start it changes the way your face and body develops, as well
The PE firms buying the entire downtown are raising prices, not muh immigrants
Are they fitting the curve on like 3 points for 24 and 25? I don’t think it’s untrue but why publish this with such a low-hanging fruit to delegitimize the argument
They are more akin to Gestapo while MAGA as a whole is KKK, but we shouldn’t nitpick
Yup, and the arguments are so weirdly self centered, too. “I went through so much when I started college, what would I talk about with someone in HIGH SCHOOL?” (19-17 gap) Dude, you started smoking pot and went to a few frat parties, it’s not that deep. Also are these people just always discussing life experiences for some reason? No shared interests, hobby groups, common acquaintances?
Reddit would be outraged about an 18 yo dating a 16 yo, though. Some people have really weird and unrealistic views on this
Wasn’t this guy one of those “zizian” nutjobs?

Ziz believes there are two kinds of core, “good” and “nongood”. “Nongood” cores are the most common (about 95% of the population). A “nongood” core is one that only grants full agency when dealing with issues of self survival or protecting offspring. This is enforced by a filter that only unlocks full agency when it detects those objects in a situation. Sometimes this filter breaks, producing a “good” core. Because people have two cores, there are three basic alignments: “nongood”, “single good”, and “double good”. “Single good” is about 5% of the population, having one broken core which allows limited altruistic agency. Ziz seems to believe the probability of cores breaking is independent. That means the “double good” alignment only occurs in one fourth of one percent of people. This is important because double goods are the only people who can have full altruistic agency in Ziz’s worldview. In this model “core” cannot be changed and you’re stuck with the morality you have. This is important to consider in later sections where we talk about what Ziz tells people about their cores.
Fair enough. I was considering France and England, too. What are your thoughts on those?
I appreciate your input, but honestly, coming from Brazil, even with those cons I can’t help but wish those were my problems…
As a masters candidate I am actively looking for options in Europe in the finance field, and Germany would be my prefered country to live in. But it’s hard for them to compete with ETH Zurich and Ecole Polytechnique which both have better prestige, student reviews and are close by, not even mentioning Imperial and Oxford which are great too. I was looking into TU Munich and got scared by all the negativity from students in the Reddit sub
Forgot about BGG! That one is amazing, too
I just stumble upon them using Kagi search and phind.com
Yeah, “EU” solutions to security just seem so naive. Do we really expect a German national to put their country’s security on the line if need be? Long term, what would prevent French, German, Spanish, whatever exceptionalism from rising and infecting EU leadership?
Europe is not a country and historically the internal cooperation we see today is the extreme exception. Any of the countries could flip at any time for a multitude of reasons, and then what? France just dominates?
It’s trending backwards tbh. Last year I got most of my friends to use Signal, but they for some reason uninstalled en masse this month
