  There s definitely a difference in behavior between Americans. I met cool ones and very loud annoying ones.

  Never met a kind not cool Israelis though, they are obnoxious holiday makers.

  In Cuba they are rather friendly towards Chinese.

  I think the ‘we’ is a bit overstated.

  I’ll keep the typo up because of this <3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨meat honey⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  In one detailed study of Trigona hypogea in Brazil, the vulture bees mixed sugary plant products with a proteinaceous paste from regurgitated meat, and let it mature to form a sweet substance that was used as food; however, the two resources were initially kept in separate “pots” in the colony, neither being true honey (i.e., not derived from nectar), but they were then mixed together.

  So it’s not incorporated in the honey. They have a separate protein stache.

  Or bombing them and then killing the ambulance drivers that come to help them and bulldoze then into a ditch

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Devastation so ordinary⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not at all. We’ve let billionaires control our media, who do everything to spin climate action into something radical.

  They always were overpriced, but hardware quality was superior. If you opened a 90’s pc or a Mac, there was a significant difference in finish.

  But mid nineties apple nearly went under. The Microsoft deal and Jobs coming back really turned things around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tim Apple calls for a rebellion!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nothing says ‘think different’ like reusing a thirty year old slogan for when your company was an underdog, instead of the evil corporation you once sought to destroy.

  It’s absurd. Like the British guy arrested for wearing a “Plasticine Action” tshirt.

  I’ll suggest Intouchables, a great film that’s both funny and profound with only the slightest bit of sex (in a surprisingly Ferengi kind of way).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a great lot of perfectly ethically cromulent movies for you to watch.

  I’m saying it’s a selection thing, rather than a cultural thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⛪💥🤓🍆⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah I see. Yeah it can be very polarizing especially if your message goes against the grain of what people convinced themselves (or sometimes media) of.

  Imho always good to try out differences on perspective, just to see how that would make sense. I feel that many people are very defensive out of being scared and insecure, yet wanting to come across like they are not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⛪💥🤓🍆⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no I meant about moralistic people, amongst whom Bregman. They can come across a bit annoying, and I thought you were referring to that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨waooooo⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The fun part is that a couple of hundred years later we can actually turn lead into gold. It’s just very impractical and expensive, but we can do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⛪💥🤓🍆⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I get ya, I’ll refrain from further proselytizing and let you form your own opinion.

  I find that annoying bit of self-righteousness is assuaged by people practicing what they preach and not sitting back and pointing out the flaws of other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⛪💥🤓🍆⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah particularly Man Kind is a good read to get your mind off the general madness that drains your soul, almost by design. The key advice if the book is to wean off the news cycle that keeps reminding us about the inherent evil of people.

  If you interact with actual, normal people in everyday lives most of them aren’t sadists and just want to live their lives and be good.

  And then he shows many historical examples about how that’s actually what drives most people.

  So yes, that might be what you need. I’m not generally for glorifying people, but Bregman has my highest respect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⛪💥🤓🍆⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  His books are really worth reading too.

  In Man Kind he shows that in general is best to assume people have good intentions, and generally not trying to do bad things.

  In moral ambition he shows the mechanisms work that corrupt people from this general good state of being and argues that a new moral framework is needed to fight that corruption, which is ruinous for the ordinary people who just want to live well.

  But aside from just sitting that down he actually tries and start a movement to create that change. Which, I think it’s quite special.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⛪💥🤓🍆⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Rutger Bregman is a treasure.

  Not only for speaking out, like the time he told the billionaire crowd at Davos to just pay their taxes, but also for doing stuff like setting up a new movement for morality where he recruits intelligent people that are tied of working for greedy consultancy agencies or hedge funds to team up and create a new sense of morality.
