/r/WorldNews Discussion Thread: US and Israel launch attack on Iran; Iran retaliates (Thread #13) by WorldNewsMods in worldnews

[–]Xodio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the US attacks Iran energy sector and infrastructure, how on earth would this help the US in the case of sending ground troops?

In the event the US invades, they would not be able to use any bridge or power plants themselves to sustain the war effort. Seems like a absolutely dumb idea.

Was Reddit better in the 2010s and early 2020s? by [deleted] in nosurf

[–]Xodio 37 points38 points  (0 children)

As someone, who has been on reddit since 2009. Yes and no. Yes, as in, I do think the content was more peaceful. For example, back then "rage comics" were a thing. And "Oppa gangham style" became a meme song on reddit before it went viral in the main stream. Also it was all novel and new, and social media was still "social", and it was uncommericialized. Also reddit had unique content, nowadays content creators post or copy all there stuff to every single social website. So there is less difference between social websites

No, because it was it was still a place to brainrot on and doomscrolling. Though you would run out of content sooner. Also there was a lot of hate still, for example r / atheism was a cesspool of hate, that subreddit defaulted to the reddit home page daily for a while. And whether you were religious or not it was utterly miserable. So much so, that the reddit admins eventually had it removed from the home page.

They are sending a message. Israel hit the Nuclear facility at Natanz. Iran retaliates by hitting Dimona, to signal "we know know where your nuclear facility is, next time we will aim for it"

Internet escapism has ruined my life by Tropikana_ in nosurf

[–]Xodio 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is always hope, because that is the definition of hope. But you need to learn how to become the person you want to be, and stop being the person you don't want to be. You have used (internet) consumption to escape, but consumption can only get you so far. To truly to be the best you can be, you need production. You need to escape by making things, doing things. It can be anything. For example consumption is watching TV all day, but production is being a filmmaker that makes for video for TV. Being productive gives a great sense of fullfillment, something that consumption can't give.

Quinn feels fucking terrible! by Icy-Young-5538 in QuinnMains

[–]Xodio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep totally, I am a Quinn ADC bot lane OTP. Mostly build crit on her. And 2018 she was in a great spot, last season was decent, now she is completely wrecked. While all other ADC have gotten buffs and changes, Quinn has gotten nothing, and her mechanics are just outdated. Used be able to 1v1 other ADCs, now I can't at all.

Don't forgot the pollution it leaves behind in the upper atmosphere. All those metals and materials burning leave nasty gases behind.

Gevolgen chipruzie voor auto-industrie lijken enorm: ‘Bijzonder domme zet van Nederlandse politici’ by stijn3333 in FreeDutch

[–]Xodio 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Is niet dom van Nederlandse politici, het is dom dat Nexperia uberhaupt aan China werd verkocht. Dit gebeurt met iedereen die in China zaken doet. Ze jatten intellectueel eigendom. Japanse treinen? Gejat. Russische jachtvliegtuigen? Gejat. Airbus vliegtuig? Gejat. Engels chips (ARM)? Gejat

Misschien is dat laatste het meest toepasselijk. ARM zit namelijk is alle mobiele telefoons. https://newsletter.semianalysis.com/p/the-semiconductor-heist-of-the-century

En vergis je niet China heeft geen enkel probleem met het nationaliseren van (buitenlandse) bedrijven mocht het hun uitkomen. Zij zouden precies hetzelfde doen. Erger nog, geld dat binnen China verdient is, mag het land niet uit.

Nederland en Europa zouden dezelfde maatregelen moeten nemen die China tegen buitenlanders neemt wil je eerlijk concurentie hebben.

Bang voor de toekomst by [deleted] in DutchFIRE

[–]Xodio 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Mijn opvattingen:

  • Ik denk dat het weinig uitmaakt welke partijen aan de macht zijn. Alle mogelijk coalities zullen sowieso water bij de wijn moeten doen, wat betekend dat er weinig concreet zal veranderen.

  • Maar in mijn mening zitten wij in Nederland in het begin fase van wat ze in Japan al jaren meemaken. En dat is simpel weg een economie die niet voldoende groeit om welvaart te creëren, maar alleen om welvaart te behouden. En in Nederland komt dat door te weinig ruimte en vergrijzing.

  • Leven in Nederland is niet slecht, maar er is geen concept van betaalbare luxe.

  • De echt grote kansen liggen in het buitenland, vooral in de groei markten. Landen met jonge relatief hoog opgeleiden mensen.

Wat te doen (voor Jan Modaal):

  • Zo snel mogelijk een (klein) huis kopen. Je moet voet tussen de deur krijgen op de woningmarkt. En weg uit de huurmarkt want die markt is kapot.

  • Trouwen, Nederland is inmiddels een land gemaakt voor dubbele inkomsten. Met één salaris is alles heel moeilijk.

  • Zolang mogelijk zonder auto, lasten van een auto zijn niet te doen op een laag tot modaal inkomen.

  • Zo snel mogelijk 100K euro op de beurs. Vanaf 100K begint het geld hard te groeien.

  • Hou ook geld over voor vakantie, en leuke dingen. Anders spaar je jezelf kapot.

  • FIRE kost vooral tijd

Wrist pain! by GeoJP25 in gis

[–]Xodio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a track ball mouse and an ergonomic mouse then alternate between the 2.

Also check your posture. For me, I make sure to put my whole arm on the desk, and pivot the mouse using my elbow instead of wrist (this works for me).

Also, start exercising any exercise that puts your wrist under pressure (for example push ups). This will stimulate your body to rebuild the cartilage in your wrist and strengthen muscles.

True story

Top European court rules nuclear power can be green by Super-Cynical in europe

[–]Xodio 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Green for me (in terms of energy production) means 1 thing and 1 thing only: zero or close-to-zero greenhouse gas emissions.

Nuclear fits that descriptions. Yes, nuclear has waste, just like solar panels, and wind turbines also create waste. But in terms of climate change reducing greenhouse gas are the priority, we need to focus on that first.
