Personally I really like jungletrain.net

I like to listen to internet radio. There are plenty of stations for different genres
- Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer? 5 weeks ago:
I’m German and went to the US for a year as a high school student.
My US history teacher literally told us that the US is the world police. Because of that I believe that many Americans think that way.

Sure, you might be fine. Statistically there is a difference, though.

Its not a total scam, I know some couples who met on dating apps. However, be aware that as a man your choice is limited. There are about 10 men for every woman on dating apps.
It can work, but honestly I think its easier to get to know people when I’m out and about. This depends on how outgoing you are, though, of course.

- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 month ago:
Absolutely agree. It ia horrible how our governments allow corporations to use that backdoor to extract as much shareholder value from us as possible
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 month ago:
Honestly not sure where to start with this one.
I’m sure the blanket statement of needing to drink 2 liters of water is misleading in plenty of situations but I really don’t think this is what we should be focusing on. This is the last thing from the food industry that I’d consider propaganda. Not to mention that it’s really not a bad recommendation, and a 50 year old book 2 people wrote (no matter their qualification) isn’t really a solid foundation for an argument like this.
Of course water intake is highly individual. Athletes may drink 10+ liters per day, but most people are probably fine with just drinking when they’re thirsty.
I don’t think anyone is saying that 2 liters are necessary for survival. You can get away with much less. The thing is, it’s easy to drink more than enough, it has many benefits, and there isn’t really much of a downside to it. The 2 liters are a rule of thumb, not an exact required amount for everyone.
Regarding the beer, we know nowadays there is no amount of alcohol that is healthy. Sure, beer might be able to hydrate you when enjoyed in moderation, but it’s plain counterproductive when recommended as a healthy diet.

Hmm, interesting point. Thanks for sharing.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 1 month ago:
Basically they’re people who got caught in the food industries propaganda.
They might consciously know they need regular water, but their body is now craving sugar with every sip. If it’s missing, it feels wrong.
Sugar needs to be much more regulated, especially for kids… Adults may be responsible enough to handle it but without regulation the industry will run wild and make everyone addicted.

I mean planned obsolescence is absolutely a thing, but
modern [microwaves] are prone to catch on fire
is a wild take that you better support with some kind of proof. Otherwise it just makes the rest of your (IMO valid) argument look bad.

As a junior dev with prior working experience, currently not working as a programmer, yeah. I can only agree.
We might understand AI won’t actually solve the same problems we are able to solve, but the people deciding budgets dont understand that.
- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 1 month ago:
I don’t really have any experience with situations like this, but I’d be cautious of suggesting such things. Worst case they don’t do anything, and something happens to the neighbor and suddenly you have a lot of trouble waiting for you.
I know here in Germany you can create a log of all the occurrences of your neighbor being loud, end if it is excessive a court can order your neighbor to be silent. If your neighbor then breaks the order, the police will actually do something. Not sure how things work in the UK tho
- Comment on Is it possible to basically not snore at all? 1 month ago:
From what I gather after a quick web search it seems about 40% of the population does not snore, so I guess it is pretty common.

French and Italian will come relatively easy for you, the others are quite different. Personally I’d go with Arabic, but that’s just because there are many Arabic speaking people at my job.

Maybe we should rethink ownership as a concept. Is it really necessary? I feel like it causes a lot of trouble without solving much. Why can’t humans just properly work together in a society that shares resources with those in need?
- Comment on Can you put a ship inside a Klein bottle? 2 months ago:
All currently existing Klein bottles.
It seems obvious but I feel like specifying is necessary when talking about abstract things like 4d shapes.
- Comment on Economcial, Billionaires are the biggest threat to the free market 2 months ago:
There is no such thing as a free market IMO.
Either you have an unregulated market dominated by big players which isn’t free because of said big players, or you have a heavily regulated market, that gives a fair chance to anyone, but isn’t free at all because of the regulation.
The free market is an illusion, just like the american dream. Which shouldn’t be much of a surprise, seeing as the american dream builds off of the illusion of a free market and fair chances for anyone

- Comment on Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)? 3 months ago:
That’s nice, I guess they found other ways to fund their government.
- Comment on Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)? 3 months ago:
When you’re renting, you’re always also paying this tax indirectly. Its a tax of having a roof over your head, whether you own it or not*. So it has nothing to do with ownership.
I guess you can argue somewhere in the direction of “tax is theft”, but that’s a different discussion.
- kinda opposing my previous statement, I guess it would be more accurate to say that paying the tax directly to the government is kind of a proof of ownership.
- Comment on Why do some say they own or have bought something that they technically haven't (e.g. domain names, expensive things, etc.)? 3 months ago:
Yeah, owners pay taxes to fund the government. But paying taxes does not mean you don’t own something, as if you were renting.

Well, we do have the words leasing and renting.
The difference between owning games on steam and actually owning a game? When steam shuts down, you suddenly don’t own any games anymore.
When you own a house, you can do whatever you want with it. If you choose to use it without utilities, you can for no extra cost. And payong taxes doesn’t really have anything to do with ownership.if anything taxes are proof of your ownership.
