It poses a fascinating question whether unbridled growth of the economy is valid to support unbridled growth of population. Not saying that people facing malaria shouldn't be helped, but if it depends on an ever growing economy we might have a problem.

Are nfts actually still a thing? I mean are there still people selling/trading them?

Well that might actually not be the worst thing to happen

I wonder if he realizes how he will be remembered by the world after his death, and how different that is that if he would have died, say ten years ago, or right before that moment when he wanted to rescue those kids stuck in that cave and went off on anyone that criticized him. For me, that's the moment it all went to shit for him.

Or: I suddenly realize my input is being monetized and fuck Reddit.

Tom Hardy. Taboo was very good.

Doesn't it though.

Stupid is asking questions without a question mark.

Great, another 26 year old that stumbled into wealth and thinks that makes him an authority.

Like those 20 something "executive coaches" fresh out of school I always seem to stumble upon on LinkedIn. They think they are incredible, but in reality they are only incredible in the literal sense.

Just the other day there was a writer that explains a phenomenon in her new book (can't remember her name off the bat).

She describes the fact that people always say "it starts with you", promoting individual action. Like, "if you want to stop climate change, why don't you become a vegetarian." But few people actually do.

She argued that it's not that people don't want to, however what's never taken into account is that the cards are stacked against the individual by corporations and (in many cases) government.

There are laws, marketing machines, price points and supply chains that set the virtual boundaries within which people can maneuver.

People still have enough individual freedom to keep a sense of free will, but under the hood, this free will is heavily influenced by what's affordable, normalized or in supply.

It's a pretty bleak view, and only solved by a change in politics where politicians actually want to work for the people and for democracy rather than for corporations.

The people can provide them with votes, corporations with money. This can lead to a government that benefits from lying to their voters while profiting from corporations.

The nineties were good. Less racism, less pandemics, no social media to make the world collectively dumber. Just silly clothes and hair we had to deal with.

English and Russians don't even have jobs! /s

I started working out twice a week and running in the weekends when I was 40 and after a couple of years felt better than I did in my twenties.

Just leave a note under the windshield wipers that says "sorry about the damage to your car, but you shouldn't have parked it like an asshole".

They will be wondering the rest of the week what damage there is and where.

Comparing Hungary to China and Russia is like comparing a mosquito to a rabid dog. Yes, Hungary is annoying within the EU, has undemocratic tendencies and Orban should be dealt with, but Russia and China are full on authoritarian regimes. You know this, so you are either a troll or a shill.

If he doesn't die of old age in his second term, he will die in prison after. Along with a good part of his cronies.

Of course they want to politicize this. And the EU is being far too careful here, these amounts are only 1.5% of the maximum penalty. They got off easy

The attacks will continue until morale improves

The new version of Lost in Space just has people in danger constantly and then making the dumbest decision in that situation possible.

Same with 'suits', I really liked it in the beginning, until it was just too painful to watch. Each storyline was set up in a way that there was one path for the protagonists to take that would lead to certain disaster, and lo.and behold, at the end of every episode that path is exactly the path they took.

This happens until you start wondering if you're just looking at the dumbest lawyers or astronauts in existence.
