True, there is some amount of gun violence glorification in the US. And it’s completely sane to be angry at your oppresors, but it needs to be channeled into something productive. Killing CEOs is just gonna make them pressure governments to increase repression with armed police and global surveillance. Violence begets violence, so it should only be used as a last result.

My point is, using the opportunity to open the debate on the complete despair of people oppressed by private healthcare is the way to go. Let’s just not make this about revenge on the rich CEOs involved. Removing their privilege is revenge enough.

Well, some people took it a bit too far. I get the message that health insurance companies are hell, but applauding murder… Are we better than them if we do that?

My technique at the pub: focus on the sudoku of the daily newspaper until I’m drunk enough to engage in conversation and be unaffected by the chaos around me. Pros: pretty good for my social life Cons: pretty bad for my liver

True and, speaking of nuclear fusion, it’s a big if. Given the amount of “enough energy” needed.
- Comment on My chemistry professor after explaining that helium is colorless, odorless, non-toxic, and inert [Day 67] 4 weeks ago:
Physics professor: That’s not true! You can make nuclear fusion with helium-3 which doesn’t make the reactor core radioactive over time. And I think that’s cool!
- Comment on public health ftw 2 months ago:
If you ever try to build a public health system from the ground up in the US, don’t fall from the same mistakes we did in Europe. Namely, defunding public hospitals where most of the costly procedures happen and funding private hospitals with public money, where they mostly do low-risk profitable procedures. I could go on, but you get the irony.

It might be extra funny because I saw this at the bar.

Makes me remember this one time in English class in France where one student called him Jean-François Kennedy. The whole class had a good laugh, including the teacher 😅
- Comment on Never give up 7 months ago:
Wether it’s on the internet or at a bar counter, I like to engage in debate to better myself. If your goal is to turn every fanatic that crosses your path, you’re gonna be depressed real soon.
- Comment on To all you outside of the US... 8 months ago:
There’s no need for that, unless parts of the US want independence, like some Scots regarding the UK. But break it all up because it’s too messy, not healthy? That’s what critics of the EU or the UN also say. Myself I’ve always been an advocate of unity and collaboration since it’s the only way we’re gonna be able to solve climate change and every other major world crisis.
- Comment on To all you outside of the US... 8 months ago:
It’s not that us outsiders like to watch your elections closely. But we need to since they’re gonna have a big impact on the world we live in, whether we like to admit it or not.
- Comment on An EXTRA Hour! 1 year ago:
Yeah I meant switching back and forth between ST and DST. We almost got rid of it in the EU! Then COVID came so we had more pressing matters I guess.
- Comment on An EXTRA Hour! 1 year ago:
To me it just means a week of getting up and getting hungry one hour too early. My body hates daylight saving.
- Comment on Don't forget to tip 1 year ago:
This post might just be taking the piss at those trying to defend landlords. Or its a genuine effort to take their side, I’m not sure. Anyway, criticism of landlords was bound to bring people to defend them and/or criticise renters in response. Don’t fret too much, many of us also despise the accumulation of weath through acquiring real estate.
- Comment on What do you think of framework and their methods? 1 year ago:
The number one problem of modern appliance is indeed longevity I’d say. The so called “planned obsolescence” is probably what mainly drives or consumption of electronics and, accordingly, our production of e-waste. But Framework might just be saying that for green washing purposes.

Fuck you Spotify! I download my mp3 just like cool kids did 20 years ago, and it suits me just fine!

I must admit, I have been seen in the “have you ever been on fucking sofa” position quite a few times.
