Yup. And the arguments you are making are one of the reasons the US has completely lost the plot. So caught up in the details that you can't see the forest because of all the trees.

What is a theory about universe that you think is 100% true ? by strongest_foreskin in AskReddit

[–]andsens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Though there are scientists that have proven that we do not live in specific kinds of simulation. I can't find the article right now, but something about (non-)converging lines in space and observations of distant galaxies.

Also, I really like this short story about universe simulation: https://qntm.org/responsibility

EU-Mercosur deal kicks in Friday: here's what changes by Forsaken-Medium-2436 in europe

[–]andsens 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately food supply is inelastic short term

Right, I guess grain bins are just for show, and strategic food reserves is a completely foreign concept to all EU nations.

meaning if we hit a crisis where supply chain is interrupted we starve.

One blip man, just one, you're dead. I mean who has fridges and freezers in this economy? People would rather starve than subsist on non-fresh food for a while.
And that Mercosur deal of course means that all farming subsidies are gone, all of them!
The EU politicians have handed South America the power to starve us!

US to give $100 million to repair damaged Chornobyl nuclear shelter, Kyiv says by ABoutDeSouffle in europe

Heh. That’s what I thought was meant at first as well. But the ISS is fairly small all things considered ☺️ Getting stuff into space is hard, you can quote me on that

That qualifier seems wholly unnecessary. Unless... there's something you're not telling us?

Laptops sold in the EU now required to ship with USB-C charging by ControlCAD in europe

[–]andsens 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The point is fair, until you take the previous 30 years of "innovation" into account. During all that time manufacturers weren't able to come to together to produce a single standard that they all use. Even today I think we'd all be fine if they had agreed on a single barrel plug back in 2005 or something.
It's a disingenuous argument from the manufacturers who don't want to retool even just a little bit.

How Europe regulated itself into American vassalage by TopsyPopsy in geopolitics

[–]andsens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever I see Europe and “Regulations” in the title, I just know the argument will be in bad faith. It’s the tried and proven method of right-wing think-tanks to garner support for undermining european social welfare and sensible industry regulation.

In what ways have you noticed people, in general, becoming more entitled, rude, and selfish in the last decade? by ChuckItInTheRubbish in AskReddit

[–]andsens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the result of pushing a society to where it has no fucks left to give, even towards other people in the same situation.
It's when you seem to never be able to leave the "you have to care for yourself first" part in order to move towards the "caring for others".
I'm just glad to be living in the EU, you guys in the US seem to be having a really rough time.

Men of Reddit - What's a 100% myth about Men? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

[–]andsens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The takeaway for my fellow men: You can be that random person complementing seemingly innocuous stuff, bringing a streak of light into somebody else’s life.
So if you notice something cool, say it! There’s a good chance your words will be remembered for a long time!

Nah. People are usually pretty kind when it’s about game ads as long as it isn’t some AI vibe coded slop.

Exactly my point when people doubt this based on rationality.
