It reminds me of Northern Europeans stereotyping Southern Europeans as lazy. But Northern European don’t realise it is mainly because Southern Europe is very hot to work for longer hours. The Southern European “siesta” of course carried over to Spanish and Portuguese colonies. Before Cuba gained independence from Spain, they only work three hours a day, and this happened only about one hundred years ago.

As far as I can tell, they are genuinely good folks. After taking ownership of Casa Bonita, during the renovation period that followed, they said that they will pay the existing employees, but only if those employees do charity work while the place is being renovated. Mat and Trey make money but they don’t seem hungry for more. They also renewed a deal with Paramount; but when CBS tried to cancel Colbert so that the duo’s parent company, Skydance, will have the Trump admin approve the merger with CBS, Mat and Trey unabashedly criticised their company without fear of cancellation and despite having just signed a renewed contract. They were not punished nonetheless and if even if there are, they will stick to their guns.

On occasions I have done overtime or feel under pressure due to work, I do feel my heart palpitating. But I am lucky I immigrated to a country where the work culture is more relaxed compared to others. Had I gone to another country, I might have ended up the same as the guy in the article.
- Comment on Mamdani to kill the NYC AI chatbot caught telling businesses to break the law— New York mayor says terminating the ‘unusable’ bot will help close a budget gap 1 week ago:
I’ve yet to see any negative headlines about Mamdani ever since hr won election
Seeing the tankies talk about him on .ml would make you think he was leading the 4the Reich.
Well yeah, it depends exactly what kind of social bubble you are in. If you are in a right wing bubble, you would be led to believe that Mamdani is a wome Muslim terrorist commie.

As a Batman fan, it just occurred to me that I really hope Netflix won’t ruin the IP if they get the chance to buy WB.

The majority of Polish kids in my old school are unbelievably good with computers. My friend’s dad is also a self-taught electronic and IT specialist.
Now, I am really curious as to why so many Poles are tech wiz. I know GOG’s DRM-free philosophy is influenced by communism, but I can’t see how communism influenced many Poles to be good with IT as well.

Nvidia has competitive edge. They won’t go bankrupt but they they will undermined heavily when the AI bubble pops.
- Comment on you're doing ReSeArCh rong!! 1 month ago:
You question vaccines and yet you probably don’t have any problem asking for antibiotic when you get flu, even though antibiotics don’t work on viruses and only kills the healthy bacteria in your gut. Or, taking painkillers for headaches, even though one of its side effects for constant use is eventual hearing loss.
You question vaccines as if they are all the same, but don’t question other medicinal products that are made in the exact same process as vaccines. And all medicines have some side effects nonetheless. Heck, almost anything you consume has side effects. As another person mentioned, we take medicines and they are approved because the benefits outweigh the risks. They are tested first for crying out loud.

Unless we live in a one-world government, the default set up is the Thucydides trap where one state tends to dominate.
- Comment on US Trade Dominance Will Soon Begin to Crack 1 month ago:
Who’s going to dominate trade? Cos people are hoping it won’t be an authoritarian state like China.
- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 1 month ago:
Piracy saves money
Precisely. I don’t see torrenting wrong if you really can’t afford digital streaming or games. Netflix has made piracy less popular when it first came out, but with the proliferation of copy cat rival services, piracy became vogue again.
I prefer not to torrent games unless the game is owned by huge asshole companies like EA or Ubisoft. These big companies could absorb financial losses from torrenting because there are always idiots who will pay for their bog standard games. Small devs should be supported instead (also, small time filmmakers should be supported by paying to see their movies as well).
My friends think I am rich despite circumstances. But no, I just save money by torrenting. I use the money that I don’t buy essentials with, on learning new skills, socialising and developing hobbies. My rule of not buying new games until I clear a portion of my backlog is working on not going on impulse buying that my friends tend to do. A couple of my friends are pretty frivolous and complain when they don’t have savings. A lot of younger folks still think that the environment that allowed boomers to spend money and enjoy their youths, buy a house, get married and then raise a family with couple of kids still applies. Now, we have to sacrifice one over the other and this is what I have been telling people in my generation.
- Comment on Everyone is so close to grasping your unique vision! 1 month ago:
Not really. It’s more about what options are there. Of course, the left argue whether through peaceful or a violent revolution. Personally, I see violence only as the last resort. But even so, we argue what the catalyst should be for an open revolution. While Trump’s ICE kidnappings and brazen violation of constitution, it is clear he is provoking people to give him legal grounds to incite the insurrection act, and consolidate his power.

- Comment on Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium" 1 month ago:
Years ago I understand why streaming services want to implement paid subscription. But now, I heard that even on premium you will still get ads! It is just milking more money at this stage!
- Comment on Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium" 1 month ago:
Same. I mostly watch informative and educational videos on YouTube.
I am mostly on Nebula these days but it’s problem not to avoid YT because most content creators are still on the platform.
