It would face some form of growing pains definitely, but I think it would be far better in the long run. Especially if trump tries to shut down trade between US and Canada

If you have the wealth to afford a housemaid, then any way of spreading that wealth to others in a non-manipulative way is good.

it's not my fault white dudes tend to be...

So while I don't actually disagree, I have to point out that this sounds exactly like how racists defence themselves. "It's not my fault that black people are..."

And again I don't think that your view is wrong, but I think we should be careful with words

I don't think anyone is deluded into thinking biden/Kamala would be doing anything different, but the fact that trump would be doing it also seemed obvious. So between two people with the same stance on genocide, they at least tried to choose the one with a better stance on trans people in the US.

What i think is a shame is that the concept behind Bitcoin (a decentralized currency) is actually really cool. But as always capitalism happened and basically turned it into a speculative stock market, ruining it.

Depends what counts as winning. If leaving the arena counts as forfeit then I reckon I could beat a horse cus I don't think a horse has any desire to be there

Think of it more as "this is the best excuse we are ever gonna have to throw a big party where we get to decide the guests, the food, etc etc"

Though I do think too many people spend a lot of money because they feel like they "are supposed to (have a big wedding)" and not because they actually want to

I grew up with divorced parents, and quite a few of my school friends also had divorced parents. It made me quite paranoid about ever getting married, so I made a couple rules:

1. Live with the person first for a at least a year
2. Go travelling to another country with them (when I travelled alone I met a lot of people whose relationships had ended during their trip, travel seems to be a good "pressure test")
3. Make sure that even in the middle of the worst fights, I still wanted to marry the person. That I wasn't just marrying them for the good times.

If you have some good PowerShell examples, feel free to contribute them, I'm sure they'd be welcome

Sir, this is a meme.

One special pill the morning after (or immediately if available) is a simpler counter.

In my opinion, different kinds of travel inspire different things. Back in the day, travel necessarily meant mixing a lot with the people and culture you were visiting. Nowadays it's much easier to travel in a "bubble" with much more limited contact to locals and culture, besides those trying to take advantage of the tourists

I'm sorry, is it discouraged to be self aware? It is very common to have preconceived ideas about things based on media/whatever, however I am trying to be self aware enough to realise that this view isn't based on very much research, which is why I'm trying to re-evaluate it.

Surely it is far more arrogant to assume I have no ill-informed views, and that I have never been affected by misinformation.

I recognise the name, but can't remember why 🤔

Isn't musk doing very obvious and very intentional political influence with Twitter, for example in Germany? Why isn't Twitter also banned?

One of the most frustrating things that I see so commonly, is that when there is criticism of the Chinese government, it is almost always redirected into whataboutism about the US.

I'm not from the US or China. My views are that both these governments are terrible, though I admittedly am not very informed about China. But these kinds of non-responses do not help.

Edit: I do realise that this meme itself sort of sets up the comparison, but I just wish we could analyse the actions of each government independently, without making excuses for one by pointing fingers at the other.

Duolingo is good for "tourist style" language learning, where you learn some phrases, can recognise and read a few words, etc, but next to no chance of actually pulling off a proper conversation with a local.

If you are bored of writing Brainfuck in your spare time, try Lambda Calculus instead as an exciting alternative!

Aber "sexy" klingt ja schöner als "geschlechtsverkehrig"

Some of the examples seem to be more "unintuitive for newbies", but there are still some good ones in there
