I completely agree with what you say, but I hardly see it as better now. Big payment services (from traditional banks to PayPal) lock "high-risk" (meaning anyone who has ideas they don't like) customers out of their services

Sorry but I don't want to live in a country where the government scans my face and tracks my movement every time I leave my home. Nor can I even believe I even have to say this. Cars are deadly machines and regulating deadly machines i

Firstly, the guy never said anything about European values, he could just as well have been talking about his party. That said though, the "value" being breached here is the value of having a free society where you can exist outdo

We have this in Germany at some stores, such as Kaufland. They're sold in a section called "Die Etwas Anderen", which means "The ones that are a little different". They're sold at a reduced price, and they&#x27

As a relative stranger to Twitter, I can't help but feel a thread of Tweets is unsuitable for telling this story, surely he should just write an article about it rather than have it chopped into chunks and strung into a thread?

If there were no health effects of not sleeping besides having that "gained" time taken away at the end of life, I would absolutely do it. I'd be spending more time in my 20s and 30s and wouldn't have to deal with being

For me it's the groupthink mentality where anything but the status quo is downvoted to oblivion. Other than that I don't get much out of the site, because most the subs I would enjoy are so small, I can just visit once or twice a

My two favorites are the aforementioned WW1 one and the other one on the Pacific theater in WW2. I already knew almost everything he said in the WW1 one, whilst knowing almost nothing about the Pacific Theater one - both were super interest

I am outdoors for 6-7 hours on most workdays and I never use sunscreen. I get burned once or twice in May and then I start to tan. The only time I use sunscreen at all is on my nose if I burned it badly the day prior (my nose is the only pl

The only notification I've been getting in the last 2+ years is calls. As for everything else, I just open the app/program when I want to check what's there. It means I check my messages when I have a moment free, not when my

The issue, as the article says, is that the law doesn't define what an insult is. That means that a death threat or saying "you're stupid" could potentially both be prosecuted under this law.

Here in Germany we once had a guy have his apartment raided by 6 cops because he wrote a tweet to a local politician that said "You're such a dick". That's all he said.

I took my music collection offline at the start of this year, so I would lose my final reason to "need" to carry a smartphone around. It took me about 16 hours over two days to plan, organize and acquire all the music I would othe

This is actually quite a nice book review, or advertisement for it. I'd quite like to read more reviews like this. It's not like I haven't looked for book reviews before, but they're never quite as pragmatic as this one.

Imagine you are sitting in a movie theater, watching a movie. You are so engrossed by this movie that you are totally focused on it, and forget you are sitting in a movie theater. What meditation and mindfulness do is to remind yourself tha

The author's main problem is her sensitivity, not a culture of "ableist" cooks. Nobody should be this concerned with how random internet users care about their method of preparing garlic. And of course YouTube cooks promote t
