There ain’t no “You”, in UnitedHealth

- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 4 weeks ago:
It is a mental desease. If I hoard umfathomble amount of newspapers, I would be called a messi. If it is capital wealth, someone is a genius. They collect to fullfill an emptness in themself. It is a delusion. It is never enough and only the continiues ammassing can give them the feeling of success and control. Consumption as a Stimulus. It is not about the amount, it is about the growth. The way you took to the next number/amount. Distancing yourself further from the others. While getting confirmed by enjoying, what many can not affort. Wealth is the main storyline that is understood by every generation and culture around the world and is a globally accepted metric for desire and standing.
There is no Endgame. But a good perspective for them would be something like Elysium, while for us it is more like Gattaca - at best.

- Comment on what exercises work for you to avoid back pain? 4 weeks ago:
Using a real wooden Chair. For 20 Years now, I use a normal wooden chair for my PC Work instead of a office chair. If I want to turn around, I (my back) does it, not my chair. If I want to get closer, I do it, not my chair. Up? Down? Change sitting position. I have no scientific proof, but I feel like moving my own body, finding positions to sit and moving around on it did better to my back than sitting motionless in a padded office chair swiffeling around while my back degraded further and further. At least my office-chair-colleague around me constantly talk about back problems and then go and buy an even more expensive office chair where they even have to move less. But you want to move more, not less for your back to not deteriorate
Buy a chair where you yourself move with your back, not a chair that prevents your body from moving. Also, switch between standing and sitting multiple times a day if you can. Keep Moving. Keep those joints and muscles in motions.
- Comment on Russian food prices are soaring — but no one dares blame Putin and the war 2 months ago:
Ultimately, the goal of our sanctions is to make this a strategic failure for Russia. And let’s define a little bit of what that means.
Strategic success in the 21st century is not about a physical land grab of territory. That’s what Putin has done.
In this century, power – strategic power is increasingly measured and exercised by economic strength, by technological sophistication, and your story – who you are, what your values are, can you attract ideas and talent and goodwill. On each of those measures, this would be a failure for Russia.

- Comment on Anger in Taiwan over reports SpaceX asked suppliers to move abroad 2 months ago:
Trump said at one point that he would not come to Taiwans help if China attacks. With the stagnating chinese economy, China has 4 years to attack Taiwan without the US intervening. Musk tries to move his supply chain out of Taiwan before China makes the move.

- Comment on The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Simple Websites 11 months ago:
How do you solve the discoverability issue? A platform. Gives you some place where people could stumble upon you, while a website is an island in the middle of an ocean. That people had to actively browse to. Do you crosspost your new work no more to get the word out? I find it hard to believe that people would like to browse to x differnt websites to see if an artist has new works, only to find out that they don’t. To find new artist a central place or a free like a platform can provide seems to be nearly impossible to replace.

Unions. If we want to stop the suffering of exploited game developers while the gaming industry rakes in more money than the movie- and music industry combined, we should push hard for unions to protect the well being on creative potential of these workers. Idgaf if EA loses 10-25 million a year to additional wages. That money belongs to the workers in the first place.

- Comment on Steve Ballmer is set to make $1 billion a year for doing nothing | CNN Business 1 year ago:
But giving someone at the bare minimum support from the state is apparently setting the wrong incentive. They say free money for doing nothing is communism and makes people lazy while giving a billinaire billlions for doing nothing is late capitalist doublespeak. I hope he suffocates on it.
