I try to contribute to things getting better, with humor, sourced information, OC and polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with a point ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.
Let’s discuss to make things better sustainably.
Always happy to question our beliefs.




This is how schism starts.


Should we have shawarma 5 times a day?


Why? For example, there are niche performing arts that are recorded on video and hosted on the video platforms because it’s convenient. There’s way more than low quality influencers and marketing in there.

They said “foda-se” and started playing Poker instead.
Sounds similar to anything from Paris and above in Western Europe, just maybe a few less degrees.


In particular, if it is a niche where you are a specialist, so you can judge the importance, and you know the general public does not know much about it. Those are most likely to become lost forever if your saved link fails you one day.
It is year 2126, one third of the human population directly died of climate change and another third died in wars to control the last resources.
Somehow, Nintendo still managed to publish Zelda 151, Pokemon 202 and Mario 303.


Thank you for your hard work. I bet it comes with some degree of harassment from those people.
I think for the genocide point, it would be useful to specify it’s the one from Chinese government over Uyghurs, since there’s sadly many now.
I guess we could include the cultural genocide of Tibet too. If we bring up the subject to them, I have little doubt they will confirm my guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinicization_of_Tibet


There has been an hour reduction movement when capitalism was already well rooted. In France, we went down to 35h/week ± more paid leaves. Even in a conservative country like Japan, many companies moved to 7h45 workdays.
What changed is the weakening of capitalism regulation, especially in countries like the USA and even (supposedly) communist China: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/996_working_hour_system.


They have a pedophile prince, but at least he was stripped of his duties and titles.
Same, as during teenage holidays after exams, with zero worries about tomorrow.
The feeling after gaming for a whole holiday.


This is the quoted article: https://www.404media.co/manifestos-fear-and-loser-thinking-inside-protons-ai-reckoning/
Andy Yen, the CEO of Proton, had a message for an employee in the company’s security Slack channel who urged the company to at least take a few days to pentest newly written code before pushing it live. “That’s bullshit and loser thinking. Of course it’s possible to be fast and secure,” Yen wrote in the channel at the end of August. “Stop thinking always of how to be slower, and focus more on how to be faster.”
In a follow-up message, Yen reiterated his point: “only losers think like that.” His ultimate message for the team was to “stop lovingly handcrafting all our code and use AI more.”


There are probably more middlemen to get it from a CD. The least middlemen would probably be downloading from the musicians’ official website.


They are a thing already? They look like escalators but flat. At least in Europe and in Japan it’s fairly common, especially between public transportation hubs.

But it’s a dope album name.
