UK before Tatcher was a depressed society with stagflation, rising crimes, crumbling infrastructure; that couldn't even clean its own streets. It was a society completely hamstrung by old unions that would happily collapse the economy in face of global competition, as long as their jobs gave the same pay - nominally.

Thatcher won two landslide re-elections for a reason.

Wait what impact did the Vietnam War have on Indonesia? I've never seen this documentary

May I use how you use bitcoin on a daily basis? I see it primarily as a form of storage, obv I am wrong here

The solution is already predicted by scifi. We will start building new sub-internets with stricter, formalised, rules to reduce spam and noise. The outside internet will become the wild, noisy internet where few people reside. It's like in Cyberpunk 2077 where there is the "wall" that keeps all the AI out from the mainstream internet.

The blight in itself of course was not manufactured, however the policies that led up to the total dependency on one type of crop never failing, and the botched emergency reponse; was.

However, this famine is of course, not even a tear in the sea compared to the holocaust, which remains the most horrific act ever, forever; and every other act past or future will only be a tiny fraction of the depth of its importance. History begin and ends with the holocaust the plight of the Jews.

I was looking around for something that is not socially constructed. But I guess I am socio-constructually visio-impaired in that respect. Maybe you can help me?

>Cars weren't as big a priority for the communists. They were right too, cars and car infrastructure are super inefficient.

How to say that you're a city kid, without saying you are a city kid.

He never said "happy", he said its fine. Meaning its fine that you have to live in a world where you have to wait for some software to respond, even if you would prefer not to. If you are happy in such a (horrible || ok) world is up to you.

Hello WagTheSam, thanks for a good write up. Can I just ask, what air cleanser did you get? I am thinking of trying this, I don't trust my apartment buildings air vents. What is the gain compared to just opening a window - if you live in a not too toxic environment?

honestly, I am tired of arguing with socialists/stalinists. Fuck you and go back to hell.

This assumes that average human behaviour does not change over time, which seems quite unlikely to me.

You can go to North Korea and help them build any time mate!

Russia used to be such a humongous nation in culture, science, art. And now look at it today, a dystopian shithole.

Tsar Russia was a backwards and problematic nation. WW1 and the consequent, The Russian revolution, is still the largest catastrophe to ever happen to the human race.

Imagine a 400 million liberal Russian nation today, a timeline where the bolsheviks dont take over.

There's a middle between the two. Boomers that live lavishly and consume high amount of resources in retirement, going on global golf trips every other week, compared to a retiree who mostly stays in his house and takes forest walks and reading books have very different economic marks.

Also most healthcare is spent in the last 1-2 years in the life of the individual. I saw the system spend so much resources to keep my miserable demented grandma alive for 2 cruel years after she lost her mind. What was the point? She was just in constant pain, emotional and physical. As a culture it should be honorable to chose when we die, go off on our own accord instead of grudgingly push it to the very end. Its unbecoming.

Now the system expects my generation, millennials, to bear the boomer retirement economics on our working backs while we cant even afford our own houses. In Sweden, not only retirees but also the 7% (700 000) refugee immigrants that dont work nor contribute. Yea, that's gonna be a no from me pal.

What does a a nation do in this situation. "I guess we will just disappear from the earth, goodbye!"

Bizarre that North Korea would be the only Koreans left on the peninsula.

This is essentially what Musk did to twitter and HN was FURIOUS. This place can be so paradoxical in nature.

Why would we go on strike? You now work for us.

There's no "natural" rhytm that says that some people have to be late morning persons, the only provable circadian rhythm is in accordance with morning light. There's nothing that forces people to sleep between 1 am and 9 am UDM time, it's all adapment.

This is the equivalent of modern fat americans claiming their body just structurally don't work with veggies.

I am Hugo and I just merged

In communism, no rules will be be above harming others

'deals with the ethics' is a creative way to describe a horror show

I'd take the devil over musk! At least he is not hopped up on drugs and running around making crazy bad decisions

A smart baseball cap? Hell, you're thinking too small here, I want smart socks! And they can process sweat into battery!

>Upon seeing the adult world in detail, teens often lament “But it’s all so boring!”

>I propose that the main reason that most of us look more boring in public is that social predators lie in wait there.

What a weird connection between two radically different aspects of life. I'm pretty sure it's not the _look_ that teenagers are intending when they conclude that grown ups are boring,

Ah yes, what source could be more trustworthy than SENIOR DEFENSE OFFICIAL: ? Thank you!

>Singapore is a brutal police state

Yes? That's exactly what I said. But because Singapore is not a progressive state, filled with progressives, their police force is appreciated and work in harmony with the community. Because you know what?

People there follow the law, and appreciate that the law is enforced, and don't blame the police for the bad situations that arises from mass criminality.

>correlations to crime,

Sure is, but the biggest of them would be illegal to even mention.

Almost as stupid as someone who thinks the existence of a police force is the source of the problem every time this _context_ occurs.

For some reason, countries without progressives and their shitty policies don't have these problems. There's no horrible police force from Switzerland to Singapore

I feel bad for the stupid youth who choose to become a police officer in a progressive country, imagine getting shit on endlessly for trying to uphold the law.

The hatred or dislike of police in a country seems to be strictly correlated to the levels of criminality, progressivism and ethnic heterogeneity.

Looking at law, Singapore, Japan and South Korea would be brutal police states, but there is none of that dislike for police that we find in countries like France, US or Britain where people sing about how much they hate the police. Instead, in those countries people respect and appreciate police officers.

>I’d way rather treat all employees fairly and fade a <1% chance of a false accusation

It's a lot larger than 1%< depending on how long your career is and how many individuals you encounter over its course.
