Something Funny

I tried to explain to a person why things are not a simple as "there are just two genders" because it seemed to me like they were genuinely asking. It just amazes me how people sometimes decide to just completely shut down and remain ignorant by choice. It's like those robots from the TV show "Westworld" who were programmed to ignore certain things in order to keep believing that they are real people living in the real world. You could show them some object from the actual real world and they would just completely tune it out.

@Ulax thank you.

I find reddit really helpful sometimes because you can get practical help on almost any question you have: exercise, technology, growing mushrooms, whatever. However, it has also a ton of garbage and I always end up consuming some of it even I go there with good intentions. And it's also very easy to get distracted and to just start doom scrolling through posts. Due to its usefulness, I am hesitant to delete my account and to get rid of it completely. But I also find it very hard to be disciplined enough to use it responsibly. Any tips?

@Salvijus i think your hair type is similar to mine. Thin and wawy. Although mine is much shorter at the moment.

@Leo Gura how much space do all your notes take after all these years? I am trying to decide how much memory do I need.

What about copper pipes?

How do you measure development in this case? Do you have specific traits you judge it by like with high/low perspective. What makes a prostitute objectively less developed? Also, what's the connection between being psychologically damaged and selling yourself for sex? How is it different from selling yourself by being a cashier or a lawyer?

but how? With youtube there are extensions. I am only seeing my subscriptions for example. With reddit there is no such thing.

@The Renaissance Man any specific app recommendations? also, I don't have reddit on my phone, I just use the browser.

@Twentyfirst amazing logic

But why do you think western companie go on to abuse workers there and not in the west? Because they love western people so much and are just racist? No, its because western societies are more developed and have higher standards of worker rights. A random company can't just come along and sart working people death 16 hours a day for 1 dollar. 3rd world societies allow for those companies to come along and abuse thei people like that. Becuase that's already what they standards are. Do you think they local company operate differently? They do the same thing. Apple or whoever is just renting some spots in factories that are owned locally and that also host a lot of local businesses.

@Leo Gura @Joshe I think you are talking about different things. Leo is trying to explain it from the point of developing a better understanding of reality. As in: how come Musk became one of thr most influential people in the world and is now standing innthe white house if he is such an idiot like leftists claim. And Joshe is talking about it from the perspective of looking at the Musk as a role model, saying that he personally doesn't care about all the guts and intellect if there is no integrity. Leo is not saying that Musk is his personal role model. He is just saying having enough courage to make power moves like this is very rare and allows you to advabce very far in life. It doesn't matfer what your personal opinion about it is, it is just how real world functions. *as far as I understand.

I see.

Would it have happened if our former president wasn't an incompetent idiot who decided to bounce the moment things got sketchy? You know that nobody actually threw him away out of the office and hanged, right? He actually made his own decision to run away, leaving a country without leadership for several months, lol. Even if CIA or whoever else was involved, you can't say that they have overthrown the government.

How do we approach this in terms of practical actions though. How much bullshit should we tolerate from people like Musk just because they bring a lot of value to the world? Should we ignore the damage he is doing to the media landscape with twitter? Should we let the nazi salutes slide? Is it actually okay for him to kill 10 babies because of the other lives he saved? Should we tolerate it as long as he "keeps up the great work" in general?

@Leo Gura I see, ok.

But it is kind of the case for the most people, in my opinion. Very few people, like you for example, are genuinely very unique and can offer unique insights about the world. But I wouldn't put billionaire CEOs in that same category. And maybe it's not my place to make that kind of judgement, but then it's also not your place to judge the value of those 10 babies. Who knows what kind of value they could potentially provide to the world.

Not saying that this is necessarily the case with Elon, but how hard is it really to keep growing your wealth if you are already very rich to begin with? You could probably provide nothing in terms of actual value and still keep getting richer and richer. How much of it really is true and how much of it is just stage orange fantasy about being this visionary individual entrepreneur, with life purpose, and changing the world for the better. What would happen if Elon never existed? Wouldn't there just be some other billionaire guy running all those companies. Or other companies doing the same thing? How much worse off would the world be if Elon was never born?

@Topspin715 i also dont see much different between the two. How are they different?

@Leo Gura just curious, would it be very complicated to self-host everything?

@Yimpa

I meant that I said "no" to his statement about two genders. Not as a comment on my identity. But sure, you are right.

@Yimpa they said that there are only two just genders in a thread discussing Trump's statement about it. I said no, they asked me to "justify my assertion".

Imagine having your president running pump and dump crypto schemes, lol
