A human on earth. Ask me about weird tech. Bonus points if it radiates.

  • Idk, hanging out with nice people makes me feel less lonely.

  • People who have permanently moved to another country, what gave you the opportunity and was it worth it?

    Jump

  • not that you claimed that, but i will pretend you did and argue against that

    uh, what?

    For the record, I'm German, and I am like a haircut and some gym hours away from being able to play the SS officer in a ww2 movie. That and I probably lack the acting skills of a christoph waltz.

    That being said, I don't think anyone left of the center (and, therefore, realistically, anyone on lemmy) would disagree with you, I am not sure what you are trying to argue then. Yes, we have widespread casual and institutional racism. Sexism is also still a thing despite decades of efforts. Surprise, people here are people, so they subconsciously prefer good-looking people that look familiar. Our government is corrupt and conservative-populist, the government before it was corrupt and "liberal" (in the US sense), our economy is basically clinging to combustion engines because they missed the jump to EVs, right-wing extremists are on the rise and are already winning local elections, and every now and then someone commits something bad enough to make evening news. We're selling weapons to everyone who asks, bonus points if you promise to only hit the bad civilians with them. Oh, and if I'm lucky, I won't have to worry about climate change as I'll bleed to death in a trench in Poland.

    Yeah, shit sucks. But that is not an excuse to not clean your own house. I believe that there are many good things here that the US should take some inspiration from. Our healthcare system is a bloated mess, but it's miles better than the US. Workers rights, tenants rights, the welfare system (or whatever is left of it after the neoliberals and conservatives took turns gutting it for 30 years), a somewhat sane multi-party voting system, half-decent separation of powers, a constitution that is more modern than the 18th century, the metric system, proper gun laws (even a bit too strict in my opinion), an expectation of public transport (excluding Deutsche Bahn, they can go fuck themselves), just to name a few.

    So, to cut a long ramble short, saying "this country has some good things, we should look into them in that other country" and "this country is perfect, nothing is ever wrong here" are two completely different sentences.

  • But horny. And lonely.

  • Leaving food on the counter - the absolute survey

    Jump

  • Assuming you mean microwaving... Microwaves sadly aren't magical, their sterilizing capabilities are mostly just the heat. So make sure to evenly heat it through, the same way you'd do it on the stove.

  • Another factor that hasn't been mentioned: I'm young and healthy, I don't want to have salmonella, but I'm pretty sure I'd probably be okay. If I am sick or cooking for people who have weak immune systems for whatever reasons, I do much stricter than for my lazy bachelor self.

    Otherwise, I live by "if it smells and looks good, it's probably good". Obvious conditions apply of course, in hot, humid weather, I'm trying to leave nothing out, in cold weather, I'll happily eat cold pizza from the day before.

  • Why is DRM music a thing?

    Jump

  • What you describe is called the "analog loophole". At some point, your media needs to be converted into soundwaves and images. You cannot stop someone from recording those soundwaves and images. But you can make it inconvenient. At the end of the day, it's a numbers game. A lot of people don't want to spend hours of their time recording, cutting and labelling music, and are okay with paying a bit of money to get the end result, nicely packaged. The people who are willing to spend the time and effort to copy it are likely those that would not have paid anyway, since they are likely broke students, idealists and the like.

  • Aren't the projects subsidised housing? I would assume that most people living there would want out if they had a chance

  • Come in and find out.

    Jump

  • Wouldnt that just be supply and demand? Why would less comfortable housing not be less expensive?

  • What does the social power heirarchy in the United States look like? What are the different classes?

    Jump

  • While I applaud your effort of posting that, there is a bit of irony to post an amazon link...

  • What's a personal weakness you possess that is entirely not relevant to your daily life?

  • What the fuck, same here

    I think we are on to something

  • Yeah, it uses a simplified model unless you look too close. That's how you get those funny quantum effects. Although, I have to say, great sativa, dude

  • What's a sci-fi thing you feel is achievable with our current level of technology that you'd love to see become a thing?

    Jump

  • I have a TV from 2014 that has Skype support with a USB webcam. Just saying.

  • I mean, they habe. I have been applying to tech jobs, and so far all of them had a first interview via video call.

  • Helicopters exist, they are expensive, loud, require pilot training and skill, and still crash sometimes.

  • What are some nice more social games?

  • Maybe I should give it another try

  • Idk, long sleeves, pants and socks seem to work fine for me. But maybe I am just genetically lucky or something, it's been a while since I had one bite. Oh, and obviously taking a bath in icaridin.

  • I just want a third arm, is that too much to ask? Imagine how many tasks would be easier with that.

  • Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates

  • I disagree on one point: the job of the education system is not to produce new workers, but to produce citizens. If I were I charge, I would force all stem students to take humanities courses. We have enough narrow-minded tech Bros.
