  • A Gun

    Jump

  • It's really easy to get a drivers license, yet there are still idiots on the road killing each other and themselves by driving cars. The ones that think they're good drivers are usually the worst.

    Educating people on gun safety and giving them reason to believe that they're good with guns... Yes, it's a recipe for having a lot of idiots with guns.

    The only gun safety that actually works is not having guns. Guns are designed to kill and that's what they're gonna do when used.

  • Tech Execs Are Pushing Trump to Build ‘Freedom Cities’ Run by Corporations

    Jump

  • The problem is that they're also tanking the economy. Many people won't have the economic freedom to choose their employment.

    Already, people don't really work in Amazon warehouses because they want to piss in bottles.

  • Musk literally gave Trump a script for desperate ‘Tesla ad’

    Jump

  • There is no boycott. People just don't want to buy it.

    The ones that do want to buy one already bought one. It's unfortunate for Musk that his wealth is tied to an unrealistic expectation of continuously increasing sales, but that's just bad judgement on his and the investors parts.

  • Musk melts down as Tesla stock price plunges

  • Easy come, easy go. I think it was pretty obvious from the start that the richest man on Earth was balancing on a bloated balloon.

    He's still filthy rich from the payouts he took along the way, but I guess he will soon feel the interests of the Twitter loans piercing into his actual assets.

  • Is it commons for pet stores in Europe to sell animals from breeders?

    Jump

  • You will need to check your local legislation.

    There are EU regulations, but those are minimum requirements and they are not implemented everywhere yet. Unfortunately it's basically impossible to know where the animals come from unless they tell you.

  • How do I stop thinking about how many hours there are left on the weekend?

    Jump

  • I used to look forward to weekends and would often postpone personal projects to the weekends where I would have the time to do them.

    It's a lie. I don't have time in the weekends. There's always something else in the way, because everyone else also want to connect in weekends. It only causes frustration from not being able to do whatever I actually want.

    It's also bullshit that I have to postpone private stuff for weekends. I want to live my life 7 out of 7 days. Not 2 and then work 5. I'm not happy with giving 70% of my life away, and hoping to catch up in the remaining 30%.

    It might seem somewhat egoistic, but if you want time for yourself, you will have to prioritize time for yourself. That includes giving lower priority and more often saying no to work, friends and family. If you try to please everyone, then your time will be consumed by everyone. You have to put yourself first and align other people's expectations.

    However, it's not really egoistic. It's better to be fully present when you're doing stuff with others, than to sit at their place wishing you were home. That includes work.

    Also, I'm now focusing on carving out time in weekdays for the things I want to do. No more overtime work, no more procrastenation and relaxing just to prepare for the next day. Sure, I will work the agreed hours to make money, but I am going to take ownership of the rest of the day. That's somewhat easier in the summer where I have more energy and the weather is better. In the winter I am almost hibernating but then I also lower my expectations for what I can do.

    So in short, it's necessary to plan your time and it's necessary to align expectations from others but also your own.

  • Trump is the kinglike president many feared when arguing over the US Constitution in 1789 – and his address to Congress showed it

    Jump

  • You need a couple of amendments to that constitution then.

  • I'm beginning to consider the idea of having an apartment but then also a plot of land with just a shed or cottage. Something like that. I'd like to spend more time outside in most of the year but also keep the convenience of an apartment during winter. I have a house in a good location now, so it'll probably not happen unless something drastic happens. Maybe when the kids move out.

  • Trump says the U.S. will take control of Greenland 'one way or the other'

    Jump

  • I read a reaction from a Greenlandic politician. He was mostly upset about the laugh track that followed Trump saying "incredible people".

    Watch the clip again if you didn't notice.

    It's perfectly reasonable that they don't want to be addressed like that. The politician went on to call it an "unacceptable human view".

    I agree. The act of the middle school bully doesn't translate into anything remotely strong or respectable. It's just disgusting. It doesn't matter who or what they're talking about, and when presenting themselves by giggles and eye-rolling, they're really only presenting their own insecurity by hiding their disgusting views in the support of a laugh track.

    I am from Denmark, which actually colonized Greenland. We have made mistakes and treated them badly in the past for sure, but never like that. We have never laughed in their faces when doing so.

  • Why is life so cruel

  • Practice with a microphone and headphones. Add some delay.

    You will soon learn proper microphone technique and also how to adjust and get accustomed to the sound of your voice.

  • If its not the default it’s considered disabled.

    Vision is the outlier on this. More people wear glasses than not. This of course goes both ways and in various degrees, but I think the average is slightly nearsighted. It's easily correctable, so nothing is done to make anything more easily accessible for vision impaired people.

    However, neurodiversity is not easily correctable, so perhaps we ought to accept that with the rise in diagnosises that perhaps it's actually rather normal and adjust our expectations for what people can actually do, instead of calling a majority of people "sick".

    I mean, look at attention disorders like ADHD. They're perfectly healthy and can do all kinds of stuff. They just can't do it for 8 hours straight between 9-17.. its the expectations that need to change. It's sick.

  • In his last term, he fucked up shit for a couple of months and then went golfing until the next campaign grift started.

  • I don't even know if these days' names translate well.

    Jump

  • Well, it is.

    I don't get it either. Judging by the comments I believe it's some kind of local German pagan holiday naming.

  • Hmm. Perhaps the beaches shouldn't be the prioritized focus for developing alternatives to plastic.

    If it's on the beach, it can be picked up. Today, tomorrow or eventually.

    I think the plastic that can't be as easily be collected ought to be replaced by alternatives first.

  • I hate this image because idiots will see it, not understand what its showing, and make up some crazy shit based on it.

  • Going with the balloon idea, the universe is the surface of the balloon. A sphere doesn't have a center on the surface.

    We could say that the center of the sphere is where the big bang started. The distance to the center of the expansion is 13.7 billion years. It doesn't have a distance in x,y,z coordinates, because those are all on the surface, and it's kind of futile to attempt to understand time as a fourth dimension in this regard. We don't know if the universe is spherical at all. It's just a description used to portray the expansion. The expansion is also happening faster than light, which makes it impossible to convert the age of the universe to a size. The universe is bigger 13.7 billion light years, perhaps even infinite. Infinity doesn't have a center either.

  • What if all particles are waves. They just temporarily form loops that we consider to have particle behaviour when observed on a larger scale.
