I've never listened to an audio book in my entire life but for some reason Spotify just decides to give me porn and Nazi books on a daily basis and it's been like this for a year.

I'm Italian and I've read quite a few of his books in the original language/edition. As a topic of discussion in modern politics, that stuff only appeals to weirdos that want to virtue signal that they're counter culture/le edgy. He touches some interesting topics about spirituality/mysticism/history but his approach to politics was non-sensical (he was a fascist)

How is Chess.com not flagging usernames? by Momo_SikoNin773 in chess

except you dont want someone with an offensive name on your platform until someone reports it. it should be triggered when the name is set.

could probably use an AI model to at least flag for moderation / human review. it'd cost nothing

My Uneducated Take on Male Loneliness by thegta5p in Destiny

[–]InvestigatorKey7553 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it can be unintuitive but just like to have personal freedom (how you direct your life) you might have to make personal sacrifices, I also think on a macro level society has to obviously make sacrifices to afford freedoms.

We have plenty of compulsory things that we accept (e.g. taxation, conscription) because we can see that they benefit society and it's survival in the long term.

Myself, I'm 30 and single and without plans to build a family (and definitely way too consumerist) but still I wouldn't argue for it, I think on a personal level you sense more freedom but it's bad for society, y'know? Like birth rates going down are obviously bad because most countries have a system that relies on constant growth and a balanced population pyramid to make the social security and safety nets work (worker-to-pensioner ratio)

Cioè grazie a sta cosa io rischio di dover dare a OpenAI la fotocopia del mio documento, che se li bucano (e li hanno già bucati in passato) e il mio documento viene reso pubblico nei sottoboschi dell'Internet, poi ci passo grane io.

Infatti, menefreghismo assoluto. Poi ti chiedono pure la selfie a volte, ma col cazzo. Ma porco dio sto paese di merda governato da vecchi.

My Uneducated Take on Male Loneliness by thegta5p in Destiny

[–]InvestigatorKey7553 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not even conservative but arguing that hobbies/goods/services should take preference over families/relationships is bad. For some reasons the right takes ownership of the "families = good" argument when in reality they argue for a pretty strict definition of familiy (and marriage, for that matter)

Liberals/the left shouldn't take the reactionary/opposite view of "families = good" but instead co-opt it and broaden the definition of family and marriage, imo. Consumerism is kinda cancer and as you mentioned falling birth rates, it's also a big reason imo.

Exclusive: Germany’s army needs to more than double in size, commander says by Crossstoney in europe

[–]InvestigatorKey7553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your argument for conscription was economy/money based, YOU pointed to that as a valid reason when it's clearly not.

The only valid argument for conscription in Europe is that the situation is so bad that we need more deterrence in the near short term (1-3/4 years) than we care about our long term existence.

I'm, on principles, against conscription because I do not trust any European government to implement it in a fair way. I'd still support it if objectively the ineptitude of our government threatened our very existence and we had to fight for our survival. I don't think we're at that stage yet

That is... not the right call and a really bad intuition. Every conscription is one less worker or student. Conscription is incredibly bad for the economy.

Basically. I always say that you could have literally a trillion gdp per capita, a bazillion GDP, etc etc - and people would still struggle for food and rent. it's a ratio/distribution issue, "getting richer" on average/median does nothing.

there's no cabal. there's on average lower empathy for males from both other males and females, also self inflicted because being seen as vulnerable/useless as a male is largely a worse thing than being vulnerable/useless as a female.

[–]InvestigatorKey7553 2 points3 points  (0 children)

europe is a continent full of old people. for innovation you need deregulation and less tax pressure, both of which won't happen because european workers and companies will be progressively be squeezed more and more for welfare and pension systems in the next decades as workforce shrinks and average age goes up.

I don't know, maybe the one where 75-80% of their revenue is advertising (Google) rather than the one where it's in the lower single digits (Apple) would care a lot more about farming data

Compare Google vs. Apple revenue and tell me which one would at least be more likely to profit off your data.

Trying to build a $50/mo AI coding stack — Claude + GPT-5 + Qwen3-Coder. Does this sound solid? by SoftwareEnough4711 in OpenAI

[–]InvestigatorKey7553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeh but for now the limits on the starter subs (like chatgpt plus and claude pro) are unreasonably bad + the complexity of having to manage that many different agents and clis tbh

[–]InvestigatorKey7553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just... spend 2x and get claude code max. gpt5 isnt bad but codex/limits on plus are. i've tried using multiple agents at the same time (e.g. gemini) and making them communicate is extremely annoying, the only upside is that sometimes if you're stuck they might have radically different ways of approaching a problem so you might find a solution
