There's an actual information argument to be made if it's betting on something important, and there's no better, more clinical method to figure out that thing. In some experiments, a critical mass of people guessing has actually been fairly effective.
TBH it might actually be fucked. Not because I'm a bad person, but because I'm adjusted to living in the world we live in. For the first time there's several of me in the same place, and however that turns out is going to happen a lot. There's just bound to be some weird interaction, or some way I'm deficient.
Even outside of magical hypotheticals, a mix of people is a good thing. That can be said definitively, because you can find self-selected monocrops of people "in the wild", and they tend to suck.
Plus, it's bloat. A snippet of extra code isn't going to cause much trouble, but then you end up doing it a lot, and there's snippets in the snippets, and all the sudden something that used to fit on a floppy is 3 gigs.
I have no idea how much of a factor this is relative other various performance-sacrificing shortcuts, but Wirth's law is a thing.
Does it matter what kind of dependancy? Like, sure, if it's somebody's 5-year-old school project that's bad, I guess. (I'm experiencing this meme right now)
And there's other babysitting-type jobs out there, if that's what you want. Actually that's one sector poised to grow a lot do to AI, because AI needs hella babysitting.
If you're not eating anything else, but still have a year-round growing season, it takes an acre or two for modern agriculture to feed a person. That's a lot by city standards, but not in general (it was more like 60 in pre-modern times). It's basically what the Ethiopians mentioned are doing, plus the cocoa so they can have things that don't grow on trees, as well.
and will like 30min of effort a day you can have more than enough for your own needs.
Mountains of human experience suggests it takes a lot more effort than that. Have you had to deal with pests, drought or disease yet?
You might still come in under 8 hours a day, but then you add in the cash crops... Again, this is something only white people generations away from subsistence farming seem to think will be easy.
At the end of the day, farmland is going to earn a similar basic return to whatever other capital asset, and while farming labour isn't unskilled the amount of people raised in it means it earns like it is.
Nobody who says this is picturing manhandling half-dead battery chickens, and it's usually someone white who isn't going to move to the mountains of Ethiopia to farm subsistence crops and cocoa. That pretty much leaves something land-intensive.
I did talk to someone on Lemmy who made it work with ranching, but ranching is definitely not a good earner right now, and a lot of people are leaving the industry. Modern crop farming seems a lot like a desk job on wheels. Mainly, I think people just want space and fresh air, and have no idea what rural life is actually like.
You have to be careful with the Big Mac index. That's a foreign delicacy in a lot of places, and there might be a guy selling a nice meal for a fraction of the price on a street nearby.
Yep. They had two catastrophic failures within months of each other, with the second one flooding out a bunch of people in their cars, and everybody's just kind of praying there's not another before they can be fixed. They're steel wire reinforced concrete pipes, which don't love salty ground water, and Calgary is more often than not experiencing winter and frequently icy.
Generally the goal is to start rewriting patterns of thought once you identify them, by sorting out the ones you don't fully believe. Maybe you just quit too soon?
The thing is, there's only so much we can do over the internet with the information you've given. I have no idea why you think you're an unworthy romantic partner, or how reasonable those ideas are.

Most betting market bets are not on those things.
