Hypocrisy is just a tool the right use. Calling them out on it is like point out that horses run faster than people only because they use all 4 legs. Well, duh.

Crazy people were spreading stupid shit like this on youtube for decades but I would really like to know why Vice thinks this is newsworthy now. Did the society became so stupid that being an idiot influences is now a valid profession?

- Comment on Reality Is Ruining the Humanoid Robot Hype: The obstacles to scaling up humanoids that nobody is talking about 6 days ago:
The only thing that makes manual labor worth more, is demand.
Ever heard about supply?
- Comment on Reality Is Ruining the Humanoid Robot Hype: The obstacles to scaling up humanoids that nobody is talking about 6 days ago:
Yeah, no…“always”. Technology like humanoid robots, is never going to get cheap enough to replace low-paid manual labor.
That’s definitely not a rule. Just because so far we managed to keep manual labor dirt cheap doesn’t mean it always have to be like that. Tariffs, migration policy, social programs and so on, all affect the cost of labor. Move all the production back to developed countries while limiting immigration and the costs of labor might increase to the point where humanoid robots make sense.
I’m not saying that this will happen, only that we definitely can’t say it won’t.
- Comment on For people who relocated: when did you realize you want to live in the new place long-term & why? 1 week ago:
I realized the right is going to win the next elections. Poland was already very conservative. Religion was everywhere, no same sex marriage or civil unions, widespread homophobia, limited access to abortion, complicated divorce process, no living will laws and so on. And from the polls it was clear that not only nothing will change but it will get worse. I moved to one of the most progressive countries in EU (Spain) and for the next 10 years things in Poland did get worse so I was 100% right about that.
Overall I think relocating is complicated. Your values and perspective change over time, places change over time. The grass is always greener on the other side kind of thing. On one hand it’s definitely nice to live in a country I’m not disgusted by. My governments is one of the most vocal supporters of Palestine, progressive policies are passed all the time. Not to mention I prefer the weather, nature, culture and general vibe of the place. The “but” is that future looks pretty bleak everywhere so who knows what will happen in the next 10-20 years. But I guess I can always move back if necessary and having more options is also a good thing.

This all sounds really interesting. Much more interesting then all the celebrity gossip that passes as movie news. I would much rather learn about best boys and location managers then about Angelina’s Jolie new diet. I had a crazy idea about making a podcast about it but I have no idea about making podcasts :D

I meant that intentionally defaulting on a mortgage when the property loses value and not paying the debt is not a thing. That’s what we were talking about.
- Comment on A conundrum 1 week ago:
I did.
- Comment on A conundrum 1 week ago:
Obviously, defaulting on mortgages is a thing.
In USA. As I explained in Europe it’s not a thing. Own contribution is a thing in USA and Europe. Therefore, banks don’t require own contribution because of defaults. Q.E.D.
- Comment on A conundrum 1 week ago:
That may work for some minimum wage jobs. No serious company is going to pay you under the counter. At least not in Europe. I’m not even sure what are you suggesting. You clearly don’t know how any of this works in Europe.
- Comment on A conundrum 1 week ago:
I don’t know how this works in US but where I live when you owe bank money they will simply garnish your wages and benefits. No one is defaulting on their mortgage to save money. That’s just not a thing. I personally know people who were paying their mortgages for many many years even though their house was worth way less then the mortgage. You just suck it up and hope the price will eventually go up. If it doesn’t it’s still better then living on the street.
- Comment on A conundrum 1 week ago:
But what you’re saying is simply not true. Where I live you have to provide 20% of equity to get a mortgage but you can’t default when the prices go down. No bank offers mortgage covered in 100% by the house. If you owe the bank $600k you owe then $600k, that’s it. If you default and you’re house now only costs $500k you still owe them $100k.
So the 20% requirement has nothing to do with negative equity protections. It’s to limit the banks exposure in case you’re unable to pay.
- Comment on A conundrum 1 week ago:
You’ll be $50k better off if you just stop paying and let the bank foreclose.
And do what? Live under a bridge? You would still have to buy a new house. Are you going to find similar house at $600k easily? Are interest rates still low despite market collapse? Will banks lend you money if just foreclosed?

Make sure to know which direction the trail is when walking 30 m away from it. People died following this rule. Well, I know of one person that died because of it.

Yes but if they stop breaking the rules those profit will not fall to $0.
- Comment on EU Hits Google With $3.5 Billion Antitrust Fine 1 week ago:
That’s unexpected. Are they realizing that rolling over for Trump doesn’t lead anywhere?
- Comment on EU Hits Google With $3.5 Billion Antitrust Fine 1 week ago:
That’s not how it works. Questions is how much more money they made by breaking this specific rules. If breaking the rules allowed to increase the profits by more then 3.5B then the fine is too small. If, for example, they made only $1B extra by breaking those rules then they effectively lost $2.5B and will stop breaking them.

- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 1 week ago:
General population was always anti immigrant but the ruling class was smart enough to understand they needed immigration to sustain the growth. What changed is that everyone got so dumb they don’t know what’s in their best interest anymore.
