What the world did to Yugoslavia? Do you mean what Serbia did to Yugoslavia? Take over the army and invade bósnia. No wonder they love Russia over there.

Oh no you made it worse XD

Large hard-on collider.
drt5b7j··on Is this ‘which’ dead?
How about "I read an article and I didn't understand it"? Why complex why simple is just as good ?
drt5b7j··on Bill Gates Says Planting Trees to Solve Climate Crisis Is ‘Complete Nonsense’
Also, the forest would need to live forever, because when a tree dies and decompose, it releases CO2 back.

Wait I thought you hated government? Western Europe is privileged because government enforces regulations.

It works really well, you should come by and check it out. Get in touch, I'll find you a place to stay.

Thank you for spelling my thoughts out so eloquently. Often times I start typing something out of hn and immediately get tired of explaining obvious stuff and end up doing a half assed job..
drt5b7j··on Worm that jumps from rats to slugs to human brains has invaded Southeast US
Didn't answer my question.

Also, I didn't approve of anything. I wish it hadn't happened.

Can you give me an example of something you shouldn't have done and did? I'm curious to see if I'm gonna go "oh you're right, I did the same, so silly". My guess is no.

> A lot of people do risky or silly things when they're teenagers - very few of them pay the price with their lives.

This is precisely the nature of risk.

We don't live in a deterministic world where everyone who eats slugs dies. If we did, that kid wouldn't have eaten a slug.

No, we live in a world with uncertainty. If you eat a slug, almost for sure nothing bad will happen.

> For all we know you spent all your time inside

What's wrong with spending all your time inside? I don't know any kid who spent all his time outside and turned out well.

> The reality is that it’s dumb luck.

If there's any luck here, was that I had parents who told me things like "don't do things just to impress people". Me not eating a slug was not luck.

I find it so out of touch that you can't concieve that not all kids are the same. Not all kids do things on "dares".

Western Europe. Is that a privileged fairyland?

You write like you've been sniffing paint fumes.

drt5b7j··on X adds “Formerly Twitter” to App Store listing as app plunges in the charts
I came here to post something along the same lines.

Specifically branding, right? So much of Musk's success comes from branding himself as genius entrepreneur. I didn't expect him to screw up branding so badly.

Chicago? Prices don't seem to be going up.

Wait what? There's a lot there, tell us more. Why do they rebuild every 30 years?

> Property has become a cringy weird national obsession

Same in London. Furthermore I have the suspicion that this contributes to the low productivity in the UK. Freshly minted MBAs whose business plans are... buy property, collect rent.

> Much as the Maga wing of the Republican Party will soon struggle to identify a successor to 77-year-old Donald Trump (...)

It had never occurred to me that the maga wing could outlive trump.

Given that I eat lettuce every day, how come I never got rat lungworm? Am I incredibly lucky? Or is getting it from lettuce incredibly rare?
drt5b7j··on Worm that jumps from rats to slugs to human brains has invaded Southeast US
When I was a kid, I don't remember that my parents ever thought me that I shouldn't eat slugs. Somehow I figured it out on my own.

You're right of course. I read "citizen" and interpreted "has the right to work".

It depends upon what the meaning of the word "is" is.
drt5b7j··on The majority of NFTs are now worthless, new report shows
You know what I hate about these articles? That they talk about this like it isn't a scam

> This stark discrepancy between listed floor prices and actual sales data exposes a significant issue in the NFT market – inflated valuations that don’t reflect genuine buyer interest or real-world transactions.

There's no "valuations" or "buyer interest"... it's a scam! It's not that the "market is volatile", you just sent money to someone for nothing!

To you it's sad that Spain is progressive? What would rather it be? Regressive?
drt5b7j··on Xi’s Security Obsession Turns Ordinary Citizens into Spy Hunters
Of course the West also has spies everywhere. But it's not doing the same as China. The scale in which china does it isn't even in the same league.

Edit: just skimmed your comment history. You're one of those "America bad" people. Good luck.

drt5b7j··on Striking auto workers want a 40% pay increase–the same rate their CEOs’ pay grew
Because the number 1 quality that you want in a CEO is that he has experience being CEO, and there aren't that many openings for you to get in on it, and the ones that are are given to people who's been CEO before.

Obviously.

drt5b7j··on Xi’s Security Obsession Turns Ordinary Citizens into Spy Hunters
He's paranoid about spies because he know how much effort China has made to place spies everywhere abroad, and he assumes that the West is doing the same.
drt5b7j··on Ukraine Says It Eliminated Advanced Russian Air-Defense System in Crimea
One side wants to kill all the Jews, the other side just wants to be left alone. Who's right no one knows, call it 50-50.

There's more than a superficial resemblance between the two situations btw. Look up Holodomor, when Stalin decided he'll try and kill as many ukranians as possible. 7 million dead in 2 winters. Hear him out tho, he just has a different viewpoint.

drt5b7j··on Ukraine Says It Eliminated Advanced Russian Air-Defense System in Crimea
Many Russians disagree and many Russians are wrong. Many Russians have been so abused by their successive shitty governments that they've been Stockholm syndromed into loving the abuse.

I don't care you "disagree with my viewpoint". It's not an opinion. It's a fact that Russia has been an invader for the past 200 years. It's a fact that Russias neighbors are scared. It's a fact that even Armenia, who never says no to Russia because it's afraid Russia will just roll in the tanks, has figured wait a minute we don't have to bend over any more.

You know the most interesting thing about Russia's sphere on influence? It's doesn't have one. Which countries are friendly with Russia? Syria and north korea. These are failed states and they're not neighbors of Russia lol. Why do you think this is? Because being a bully works while you're strong, but as soon as you waver you'll learn your victims don't actually like you.
