I agree. Also, sometimes if there exists no demand, corporations will spend a lot to create it such as fashion as mentioned\shown in https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-12/fast-fashion-turning-... This is probab

That already happens and it's about to happen to millions of people in the US: it's called eviction.

In Sweden, prosecutors have duty to prosecute. "In the case of most crimes, the prosecutor has what is known as an absolute duty to prosecute. This means that the prosecutor is obliged to initiate a prosecution if he or she considers t

Being a Nazi isnt a mental illness. Sane people were nazis. Last time Nazis were in power they, in fact, murder quite a lot of mentally ill people. Nazis also dont need to be in power to kill people. Nazis already kill people. Being organiz

It's my (uninformed and second-hand) impression that tipping-culture is often defined whether the waiters\servers are given minimum livable salary or whether the tip is the larger income.

I use gEdit for both text and programming for a couple of languages. The Cobalt theme is the best dark theme\colorlayout I've ever experienced, and I'm yet to find any others which I find as pleasant to the eyes while simultaneously allowin

I'm admittedly a newb, but I find that a lot of my programming includes trying to think in a good way and then reading documentation to figure out how to implement it. So far it has applied to every technology I've used. :p

Possibly irrelevant, but adding my experience anyway: It might be niche experience, but twitter is awesome for me. My swedish twitter-bubble is boiling with discussions, humor and interesting links and topics every day. Some politicians eve

Appearently, losing weight also changes how your metabolism works, and in part you burn less calories from the same activity. Of course, these are 'simply' obstacles to be aware of and problems to go around, not something that stop you in

Wikileaks sadly lost a lot of respect from me and many people I know when some of their comments and many of their followers weren't about Assange's innocence, but instead in defense of rape, both directly and through criticism of condition

With the Swedish pirate party, this is a choice of strategy. They purposefully focus their politics and votes with whoever votes with them, as it usually is with coalitions between political parties. They did exactly what they promised once

It wasn't 'it'. It was hen, which comes from a mix of hon (her) and han (him), often used in litterature and online to avoid assumption about gender online. It has a very different meaning from it, since it obviously refers to a person of e

If the US or Israel is responsible for Stuxnet, would that be considered an act of war towards Iran? I'm sadly not well-read in either stuxnet or the requirements for it to be considered a cyber-attack.

I tend to view anti-depressants the same way I view fever-depressants when dealing with things that aren't actually cured by the fever. Their primary use is to put the symptoms out of the way while you work on stuff, or at worst: keep the s

As I understand it, and in part how it is for myself; reading books can be a meditative practice. Having a physical book can help someone focus and get in the mood, as well as help them create the enviroment around the book itself as they c

I have little to add beyond pointing out that this is discussed in the comment-section by more commenters than the one I am linking to now: edit: Replaced with better link: http://torrentfreak.com/wikileaks-police-arrested-movie-pira...

I apologize for not addressing the main question, but I'd just like to express that I disagree that you're not very smart. It might be a knee-jerk reaction on my end when it comes to to the whole "maybe I'm not smart enough", but you're sho

I couldn't play my legally purchased copy of KOTOR II thanks to the DRM without cracking it. I'd argue that cracks, even if not KeyGens, have legal applications. Especially now when some companies include DRM which might cripple your game s

As a Swede, I'm going to have to disappoint you. The police have been proven to be rather.. sub-par in politically-loaded cases. An example: Claiming Peter Sunde wrote the pirate bay search engine when the name and phone-number of the progr

One of them (Peter Sunde) made flattr, the micro-payment service, unless I'm mistaken. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/FlattrBlog/~3/Uxur-7Ouz0M/ Their involvement with the pirate bay were well known, and I suspect known by their respecti
