Spending and discounts
  • I've experienced a terrible family get together where my sister insisted it's impossible for young people to buy a house.

    I was in the middle of buying one.

    Then she insisted it was because I made a lot more money. We made about the same, both an above median salary.

    Hard-working people should be able to go eat an avocado toast and drink Starbucks! Which I also think is a valid point. I guess, how can these two feelings coexist, is the question.

    Maybe the above is a reflection of successfull advertisement? Before starbucks existed, people didn't expect that buying expensive coffee/sugar/spice drinks should be part of their lives. Let alone, being owed the product as a reward for working.

  • "The Stasi police knew your cat's name, his birthday, what food he liked, at what hour he sleeps, if he was a comrade..."
  • The Stasi had 90,000 full-time employees who were assisted by 170,000 full-time unofficial collaborators (Inoffizielle Mitarbeiter); together these made up 1 in 63 (nearly 2%) of the entire East German population. Together with these, a much larger number of occasional informers brought up the total to 1 per 6.5 persons

  • Publishers Have Said the Quiet Part Out Loud About Retro Games
  • Tldr:

    The specific quote is that “there would be a significant risk that preserved video games would be used for recreational purposes.”

  • Why do you allow misinformation communities like endlesswar?
  • Russian propaganda has an impact on it.

    I totally agree.

    Deliberately allowing yourself to be a hub to spread it is ridiculous.

    I think this argument is our main point of disagreement. In my opinion, censorship is a bad way to address misinformation. It creates parallel groups of thinking, each, from their point of view, growing more confident that they know all.

  • Why do you allow misinformation communities like endlesswar?
  • If we examine the two possible actions: (1) banning the community, and (2) not banning the community. Then we can see that neither (1) nor (2) have influence on Russia invading Ukraine. That has already happened and is happening.

    Both actions, (1) and (2), are not worse than the invasion.

  • Anyone know of a podcast series to learn about classical music?

    I'd like to learn about the major periods and themes and the contexts in which they were written and performed.

    Has anyone got a suggestion? Thank you

    Found this video a while a go. I've since made a few sets of these, and really like it. Use it mostly in places where I would've used bungees previously.
