The app is also safe unlike the browser on your PC.

In some countries books are removed from the store if you say "Free Palestine".

I live in the Netherlands- a country that prises itself in hyper individuality. It can be a little tiring but never boring. People here are born without filters. Cold, blunt, callous, rude, insulting but always free.

AI is treated as magic but those data centers are like any other factory run under capitalism.

The truth would have come out eventually- after a bunch of security cluster fuck incidents.

I never understood the hate for taxes. As if people like Zuckerberg could thrive in a warzone.

I don't think you can be a lawyer if you take cases personally. At some point you have to defend a rapist who is clearly guilty.

Yeah with a hotel I can book 2 months in advance and not have to think about it.

Airbnb hosts are not expected to have professionalism.

Plex seems to be the kind of software a lot of people would have acquired illegally.

This is why people won't protest against a refinery or steel plant. Those provide jobs- in some cases for a hundred years.

Also Windows has a huge community of people who will help you.

With Linux you're stuck trying to decipher the ramblings of neckbeards.

That's the problem with the tech industry. Nobody gives a fuck.

When a doctor makes a mistake they get to practice medicine in Peru for the rest of their life.

People can do things out of conviction you know.

They're not mad? They ask for a filter to specifically make sure that they don't see the AI slop.

Only people who hate immigration think there is under population.

My country GDP growth has been dependent on foreigners since time immemorial.

Which you can't. Unless the government steps in and demands that all ties with Burgerland are cut.

Nobody browses the Steam store at random we all use filters and recommendations.

Sad really. At that age you should play with your grandkids or have cocktails in Spain.

Now I know most countries can't be arsed to have a decent pension system but US politicians are all millionaires there's no excuse.

I hope in the future all wars are fought by drones. Just don't make them unstoppable like in that Horizon videogame.

This reminds me of a big fraud in my country: a bunch of farmers sold normal eggs as organic. As you know the difference in price is big enough to make it worthwhile.

Compare the London subway with the Shanghai subway.

The first was built one hundred years ago with the modern tech of those times.

To quote the philosopher Bob Dylan "those who are first will later be last".

I was thinking the other day that China is playing it smart. They just have to keep doing what they are doing and they'll win.

Xi isn't doing anything ostentatious like sending his navy to the Persian gulf or overtly dropping weapons supplies in the Middle East. After all they are going for the economic win- something that always eluded the USSR.

Ah yes real mass adoption strategy right there.

Why would a crypto wallet company give a shit? They already have your money.

My mother moved to a brand new apartment. Everything is electric- heating and cooking. Gues what? Her bills went down.

That is the power of modern construction techniques.

Unfortunately this is out of reach of poorer people and it would takes a hundred years before all the old housing stock is replaced. But it's nice progress for the happy few.
