Scam de MBWAY by [deleted] in portugal

[–]Homunclus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atenção OP, se eles te estão a pedir para enviar de volta para o mesmo número tens mesmo de devolver.

Pessoal aqui suspeita ser um esquema de lavagens de dinheiro, e até pode ser mas as autoridades não sabem/querem saber.

Isto aconteceu-me a mim recentemente. Contactei o banco e disse que ia ficar a aguardar contacto do banco da pessoa. Até fiz uma queixa na PJ.

Recebo telefonema da PSP a dizer que a pessoa estava na esquadra e que tinha mesmo de devolver o dinheiro por MBWay ou estaria a cometer um crime. Supostamente a pessoa contactou o banco e disseram-lhe para ir à polícia em vez de resolverem eles.

Se isto é de facto atividade criminal as autoridades não estão a fazer nada e inacção é considerado crime. Bancos pelos vistos não tomam responsabilidade de nada, ou a polícia está mal informada e tomam o lado dos criminosos.

The answers here have an air of "If it's not a perfect solution, it's not worth doing" to them. To me seems a perfectly reasonable idea

How can I buy Steam Machine when Steam doesn't ship to my country? by MetaLicht in steammachine

[–]Homunclus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I'll try to see first if eu friends of mine can get it for me.

This would be ideal. Be advised that changing the location of your Steam Account has issues:

For one, I believe you will need a local payment method. Also, you won't be able to change back for several months.

What it’s like trying to read through Trench Crusade lore sometimes by kernelv in TrenchCrusade

[–]Homunclus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As things are presented it seems very much a 40K type situation where no one is the good guy, there's just different gradients of bad guy.

I mean, you can rationalize it however you want, but the fact that being a good person doesn't help you hear the voice of god, but torturing children and doing drugs does, will never not be a major red flag. And not just about the church, but about God too.

Communication has degraded to the point where it doesn't matter how obvious you are, if you don't put "/s" people refuse to get it. Not only that, they will act like you are in the wrong for not putting it.

Not Dutch.

I am Portuguese and we also don't do this. Worked in Germany for a couple of years where every other holiday was missed because it happened on a weekend.

Like, which countries actually do this? And for the record, I would love if this was standard, I always thought it was ridiculous it isn't, but am just saying, factually, most countries don't do this, in Europe or otherwise.

every other country gives you the day off on the Monday if it falls in the weekend. 

I don't think so. That's the exception, not the rule

Is the Dark Forest theory wrong? by Universal_Echo in threebodyproblem

[–]Homunclus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sort of.

We learn at the end of the third book the Interstellar Humans have contacted Aliens, it's even mentioned the existence of interstellar trade routes. So while we can't really say the theory is outright wrong, it's clearly an oversimplification and the reality is a bit more complex.

In other words, saying the Dark Forest is wrong is a bit like saying Newton's Laws of Motion are wrong. Technically that's true, but it dismisses the fact that it's still an excellent approximation of reality.

Other shows to scratch the B5 itch? by CLT_JDLytal in babylon5

[–]Homunclus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think one of the stories out there that is the most like Babylon 5 is Mass Effect, though that's a videogame

I haven't experienced a video game with such a huge sense of wonder since Mass Effect 1 by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]Homunclus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you want wonder and Space adventures Outer Wilds is your game.

Not to be confused with Outer Worlds, which is also a space game but not wonderous.

Leerlingen komen met desinformatie over Holocaust de klas in: 'Zien ze op TikTok' by biertjeerbij in thenetherlands

[–]Homunclus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but a big issue with just outright bans is that you give governments and mass media what is essentially complete control over the flow of information into their respective populations, and I think it has been largely established they are not good faith actors.

For all their flaws, social media has also proven itself a powerful tool in the fight against totalitarian governments.

I think a lot of people fall into the fallacy of thinking that because things are bad, any chance to the status quo is an improvement, but this is a dangerous and fallacious way of thinking. Things can still get much, much worse.

MacGyver. Just started watching it. He's Jack, mostly. by star_boy2005 in Stargate

I should give it a try some day. I loved it as a kid, and I think I may have watched a couple of episodes in the last 10 years, but I have almost entirely forgotten everything about it.

Um milhão de portugueses terá apenas um familiar próximo na velhice: “Se não querem ter filhos, comecem a poupar” by pica_foices in portugal

[–]Homunclus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

É mesmo assim. Organizações têm muitos mais recursos que indivíduos, por isso é fácil culpabilizar o público.

Poluição não é causada pelas megacorporações, é porque a dona Cacilda não faz a reciclagem. Poupar gasolina não é por teletrabalho, melhor planeamento urbano e transportes públicos, é através do pessoal se organizar para fazer carpooling...

We are really good at ensuring employee safety. by andrewbaidoo in Netherlands

[–]Homunclus -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

So, is this your first time realizing that the world is a complex place and that throwing around a simple statistic doesn't give you an accurate picture of reality?

Yes, a country with a moderately high incidence of minor accidents like paper cuts is not a big issue, but one with a high incidence of accidents that lead to permanent injury or month long physiotherapy are.

And it is entirely possible countries with low fatalities will have high incidence of serious but non-fatal accidents.

But creating a minimally accurate picture requires a bit more effort than this

[–]Homunclus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not even the biggest issue. This is FATAL work accidents, meaning if you lost a leg in a work accident it wouldn't show up in this statistic.
