  • What's a scam that's so normalized that we don't even realize it's a scam anymore?

  • A lot of people are saying Capitalism. Is it straight up capitalism that is the scam or the myth of financial mobility? (the American dream)

  • I don't know if it is quite as simple as that. Most recently the bank failures were because those banks got upside down on bond holdings due to rate increases. If everyone chilled out and took their money out in appropriate time, then the bank would have had all the money. They just couldn't get all the money immediately due to the duration of their bond holdings.

  • Women in China are telling each other to bring their boyfriends to see 'Barbie' — and to use it as a litmus test for their thoughts on feminism and patriarchy

    I'm using that line

  • Voici les cinq pires piscines de Montréal - Métro

  • Les piscines sont froid et sale.

  • First U.S. nuclear reactor built from scratch in decades enters commercial operation in Georgia

    Jump

  • This encapsulates the public response to building nuclear. I guess that is why it is the first in decades.

  • China using families as 'hostages' to quash dissent abroad

    Jump

  • It's not from ignorance. It's based on the people I know from China.

  • China using families as 'hostages' to quash dissent abroad

    Jump

  • I mean, if you haven't been there or don't know anyone from there you could pretend they are a democracy, but they are authoritarian like Russia is authoritarian. Long term they will seek a wider swath to be authoritarian over.

  • China using families as 'hostages' to quash dissent abroad

    Jump

  • Yeah, China was a major ally, but it is showing its dark (autocratic) side lately.

  • China using families as 'hostages' to quash dissent abroad

    Jump

  • I think this flies a bit too far in the other direction. China is totalitarian. It is not a democracy. It is also increasingly antagonizing nations abroad. I think it is valid to consider it a threat if you are any other nation, period.

    Edit: Kinda like Russia

  • I guess you would have to sift the scientific literature to get a general idea. It would be the least biased source. Being totalitarian really helps with nuclear. Just look at what Germany has been up to.

  • eFuels pilot plant in Chile officially opened : wind energy enable the nearly CO2-neutral operation of petrol engines

    Jump

  • The tech has been known for decades. It just needs clean hydrogen. You can either go the hydrogen fuel cell route, or combine it with CO2 to make liquid fuel, but the source of hydrogen is the crux of the problem.

    Very great discussion happening on more adoption of LibreOffice in educational and otherwise places.

    Jump

  • Is LibreOffice the dominant Microsoft suite competitor? I used to use OpenOffice, but it was kind of bad.

  • What discontinued feature do you miss from phones or other technologies?

    Jump

  • Is this discontinued? My phone does this.

  • Looking for suggestions for a place to move in the US as a remote employee

  • That's true anywhere in the country though. Not a lot of blue rednecks.

  • Meet the latest way the superrich prove they're really, totally worried about the environment: $10 million electric superyachts

    Jump

  • They aren't all that communist anymore.

  • Les cyclistes roulent vraiment trop vite sur les rues piétonnes.

    Jump

  • I was in Amsterdam when a biker elbowed my friend for being close to the bike lane. The bigger the city, the less anyone gives a shit about each other. Even if you give bikes their own space, you'll have a few ass holes that ruin it for everyone.

  • Looking for suggestions for a place to move in the US as a remote employee

    Jump

  • It sounds like you want to move to Oregon or Washington. They have way better climates than Michigan.

  • See communist China for a primer on why it's not a great idea to discourage success.

  • The hottest 14 days ever recorded are the last 2 weeks

    Jump

  • Here in Montreal we have the hottest muggiest summers and the brutalest freezing cold winters. It makes me want to move to the maritimes.
