Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

  • George Orwell

  • If cannibalism were the norm and human meat was freely available in grocery stores, there would surely be people who prefered to eat only the meat of people of their own ethnicity or only women's meat

  • I prefer my humans grass fed and finished.

  • Texas A&M University cancels programs in women's and gender studies

  • Something wrong with that?

  • Believing you will retire before you die now requires the same faith as believing in heaven

    Jump

  • I've been investing into index funds since my twenties and I live quite frugally in a small house that I own. I'm relatively certain I'll be able to retire just fine.

    All my friends with this kind of attitude live in a rental apartment in a big city and have an office job. I guess I'd feel that way too if I was burning thousands in rent every month.

  • Whats your best habit and your worst habit?

    Jump

  • I've been lifting weights somewhat regularly for almost 20 years. That's probably the best one.

    Weed and porn not so much.

  • When is violence a viable solution?

    Jump

  • When you're being attacked and can't escape or someone else is who can't defend themselves.

  • We can't even pump fuel anymore without holding a digital billboard (Netherlands)

    Jump

  • A few Shell stations near me started experimenting with staff who'll pump your fuel for you at no extra charge - and they'll even top off your washer- or blinker fluid if you want. You can tip them if you feel like it, but it's "optional."

    Well, we Finns aren't exactly the most outgoing bunch, so tons of people just stopped going to those stations altogether. I think they've quietly ended the experiment by now and let folks pump their own gas again.

  • Customer called earlier today about a potential job - I told them I'm free on monday

  • 4013 Europe / DE

    It's a relatively low population official server. Rarely meet anyone there so I'm just running around on my own and hoarding loot.

  • I never quite figured out what's the problem holding the nozzle for less than 2 minutes while filling up.

  • Do you have a massive gas tank or just slow pumps? My truck's tank is 70 litres and fills up in less than 2 minutes. I just stand there staring into the distance like a crazy person.

    Jump

  • a filling gun with built-in display that was supposed to make refuelling more attractive

  • Is it possible that the rich are so rich that they have created inflation?

    Jump

  • Rich people don't hoard money. You don't get rich by doing that. Most of their wealth is invested - the money is put back into circulation. What they do hoard is wealth but that mostly means things that can be easily sold and turned into cash but it's not cash they're hoarding.

    I'm not rich by any means but of my net-worth only about 5th is cash. Rest is tied into my house and investments. Keeping lots of money in the bank is a really bad financial strategy.

  • Swedish study of 100,000 women found AI-supported mammograms lowered rate of interval cancer by 12%

  • Both are excellent at what they're designed to do. One examines breasts and one generates natural sounding language. It's only when you start using it for something it's not designed to do when you run into problems. Applies to both.

  • Retired my almost 10 year old work knife

    Jump

  • 6 months later - would definitely buy it again. I almost certainly use the chisel end more than the knife.

  • Built a partition to separate two rooms

  • I didn't install it. This isn't my house.

  • There's one vertical piece on the centre that's holding the air duct. It just doesn't show in the pictures.

  • The share of Americans medically obese is projected to rise to almost 50% by 2035

    Jump

  • You can get fat eating healthy food too. It's calories in and calories out. If you eat less than you consume you will lose weight. Eating less works for 100% of people.

  • What a save

  • Sounds like a mutually benefical arrangement assuming she's with him for the money and he's with her for her looks.

  • I wanted to drive a pickup truck with a snow plow. Now I drive a pickup truck loaded with tools. Close enough.
