A human on earth. Ask me about weird tech. Bonus points if it radiates.
Skinning hookers in their basements, plotting the violent takeover of the government, woodworking, climbing, just the usual boy stuff, you know?
Jokes aside, “things that a large percentage of the population looks at and says, hey, that is a cool hobby”. How is that for a definition?
Meiner ist eher so: ich schau online, ein HDMI-Kabel kostet plusminus 15€. Ich geh in den Saturn, es gibt nur noch die ultra-mega-gold-pro-elite HDMI kabel für 40€. Ich finde nach 15 Minuten Suche noch eins für 25€ ganz unten, kauf das zähneknirschend und geh schlecht gelaunt wieder.
Alright, anedotical evidence time! I am aware I am in a bit of a bubble, as I try to avoid the local variant of maga as much as possible in my life.
But I know several single male friends who I would say are at least of average attractiveness, smart, funny, know how to use a shower and a toothbrush, have decent education/money, cool hobbies and are politically progressive. Also I know of at least three of them who are deeply unhappy about not getting into a meaningful relationship.
Sometimes people are just stuck in a life situation or a place with not many compatible options and ways to meet people.
Man, I feel you. I am genuinely jealous of people who can walk in a room and be friends with everyone in a few minutes.
That is certainly part of the problem, but I know plenty of guys with decent money who are quite unhappy with their lack of relationships
Huh? Can you explain more? I’ve self-hosted for a few years now, I set up the config once, made a cronjob that updates every now and then, and it just works on a reasonably fast server.
Jo, dann passen wir die doch an. Sollten wir eh bei Freigrenzen generell machen.
I feel like they are more treating the symptoms, they do not catch all the flies, so it only helps a bit by thinning their numbers. I have a Sarracenia plant that seems to be thriving, so at least some of the gnats were “recycled”
I have to remember that. I tried some nematodes that were supposed to eat the larvae, but it did not seem to work, even after a few weeks. The neem oil was mostly just for (against) plant lice, which it turned out to be doing jack shit to. But hey, the flies are gone, and the lice were contained by getting rid of the one plant that had the lice.
Wie gesagt, ich hab keine Ahnung. Aus idealistischer Sicht finde ich das Konzept Vermögenssteuer erst mal recht sympathisch. Aber mir ist schon klar, dass das nicht so einfach geht.
Eine hohe Grundsteuer hat ja auch Nachteile, das klassische Beispiel von alten Menschen im Eigenheim, die sich mit knapper Rente die Steuern nicht wirklich leisten können zB.
Guter Punkt. Keine Ahnung, ob ich das mehr oder weniger fair finde. Auf der einen Seite ist es wahrscheinlich besser, wenn mehr Menschen Immobilien haben, auf der anderen Seite sind Immobilien deutlich konkreter für zB eine Stadt wichtig als jemand mit 100 Bitcoins.
As a boss of mine used to say, “electricity comes from the outlet and tastes like ouch”
You win some, you lose some
Oh come on, that is a pretty flawed argument. “Tell me, how me doing this particular, isolated thing, is directly causing this complicated big thing, otherwise you are wrong”.
But we are not arguing that: We are arguing about, what if I had a magical button that would magically give everyone in the world access to the “decent living standards” and nothing more? Would it be ethical, would you push this button? Even if you are, right now, way above the line?
And to that I say, yes, if it was possible to do this, I believe it would be the right thing to do. And I believe that anyone arguing we should not press the button, because pushing this button is hurting their lifestyle, is arguing that billions of people deserve to live a much worse life for being in the wrong place so that we can have our lifestyle.
Of course I do not have such a button. That is not the point.
Main tip, have patience. It takes weeks to get rid of them. Maybe you need to sacrifice a plant. But it is doable.
What did it finally was a combination of sand in the pots, the bare minimum of watering, glue traps everywhere and some Neem tree oil directly in the water/soil. Also, quarantining plants with a lot of flies.
I am amazed by all the people that, when faced with having to give up some of the first-world luxury they are used to, flip completely in their head. It is the opposite of not-in-my-backyard: Don’t take from my backyard, pls.
Yes, I would rather have the current distribution continue, where hundreds of millions are literally starving, where there are people who would kill to live like this, where people are walking through the desert and taking dinghies over oceans for shit like this, just so I can have my amenities.
Absolutely wild. We’re so doomed.
No, his argument is that the average human needs this standard. also, it is a model, it is by definition simplified.
Besides, what is the alternative? First world countries living like they own the place, third world countries starving, and we’re all getting killed in the climate war of 2040?
