I'd argue that your sentiment is part of this alleged "victim hood culture". you're complaining here about people who feel offended and hurt on a regular basis. is that really affecting your life? would it affect you if

That's the problem with most books. Stretched out like a Netflix production.

Well, one could at least argue that reading a book that has no relationship to you in any way might be a waste. But narrowing this down to only your work - yeah, that's a harmful mindset for sure. You are not just your work ...

That's hilarious ... this really is a gem hidden in Wikipedia.

Don't Germans already have the right to disconnect? You work 8 hours and then you switch off the company phone. Done.

I'd argue this is bad timing. Biden won't let that slip.

> While criminalising hard drugs is not ideal, legalising them and thereby making them more easily available will have a devastating impact and destroy too many lifes. You mean your friends live in a country where cocaine is legal? o.O W

Mushrooms and mycelia can be used as a resource to fabricate textiles, packaging, bricks etc. Also, if the mushrooms grow only on what they can break down it's totally safe to eat them. It has to be a controlled process. Not just tryin

When you're settling down you can still come back to Germany enjoying a mostly functioning society and reasonable expenses. You'll just need to figure out a way to evade taxes.

my comment is obviously tongue in cheek. I'm leading the conclusion of OP ad absurdum. maybe I expect too much from the HN crowd.

Isn't that more of a metaphor? I mean how long does it take to call parents? 5 to 10 minutes? You can do it in the lunch break if you have to.

I think you should check the meaning of "cargo cult".

Shouldn't you rather continue working to make sure that if such a destiny awaits you, you have enough money to at least buy yourself some comfort? If he wasn't a former successful actor, he couldn't afford "to move aroun

McBooks only convince in two areas: display and touchpad. That's it. Nothing more. The rest is just hindsight justification caused by drinking too much of the KoolAid. Linux Mint on a ThinkPad and then you can just go on with your life

reducing contact is a statistical method. But it's ethically questionable to allocate the stochastic social activity budget primarily to work.

I don't believe that. They could have restricted this to problematic videos which promote conspiracy theories and their likes.

That's a very good point! Add to that YT's abysmal organization of subscribed channels and their terrible recommendation engine. I have to say I really like it.

My T480 with LM20 is objectively the better workstation than my company MBP2019 - but at least it's 3 times as expensive and looks very shiny.

that's your little conspiracy theory. it really is nothing more or less than the new pet project of a billionaire in a world that is approaching technological saturation - so coming up with new meaningful ideas becomes harder and harde

I also refuse to tag sarcasm. Your typical computer nerd tends to be also a bit high on the autism spectrum which correlates with difficulties at identifying irony and sarcasm - which explains the downvotes even for statements which are in

of course, he's being sarcastic. people tend to be patriotic about the good stuff and forget about the rest. that's his point.

Is that a double-joke? Or whatever it is being called. Like seemingly a blow against Mainz but what do you see across the Rhine from Kastel? Mainz. there's your superior view ... maybe I'm overthinking it.
