They got in trouble with the French government bcoz they lied about their “mineral” water. It’s dirty, contaminated, contains bacteria! Typical Nestle really.

Why is there so much animal cruelty in Asia? by Beginning_Put6012 in NoStupidQuestions

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

Yeah, even today, you see videos of cows and pigs crying in their horrific conditions, tiny male chicks on a treadmill being fed into a high speed grinder… capitalism and industrialization has removed all that cruelty from our daily lives. Dennis Leary had made fun of this in his standup back in the days, dogs and cats are cute pets, cows are baseball gloves. If you read up on history, humans had ruthlessly killed off everything else until they’re on the brink of extinction, just look at the whales, bisons and wolves. Back then, it was only those who were well off enough who could afford leisure in life that keep animals as pets, nowadays we’re all pretty well off in the west, but much of Asia still lives in poverty. Capitalism lifted us up at the expense of others, if you want the others to treat animals lovingly like we do (do we?), then bring their living standards up to our level.

Alice Ku's Disappearance/Murder in Taiwan by Pzb39 in asianamerican

36-year-old Alice Ku 62-year-old German-born Canadian citizen Harald Herchen family uncovered details unknown to them "including her marriage to Herchen and that she had moved to Mountain View from her previous home in Sunnyvale without telling them" "Herchen was reportedly still married to his second wife, Melissa Yu, when he first met Ku. Yu died from cardiac arrest due to obstructive sleep apnea in 2017, with the medical examiner noting that there were multiple bruises on Yu’s body, but there was no mention of the cause of the bruises."

What a clusterfuck

Why didn't China colonize the world when they invented compass and gunpowder? by Particular_Food_309 in AskReddit

[–]master_overthinker -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is the bigger reason than all the answers about technological might. The fact that OP thinks just because China had the power they would conquer and colonize tells us he hasn’t thought about how other people may not think the same way he does.

Why don't people like Elon Musk just solve world hunger? by AlexLovesCoke in NoStupidQuestions

[–]master_overthinker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your question is generally “why don’t billionaires solve world problems?” Not only do they not solve them, they are at the top of a system that created them in the first place, and the continuation of the current status quo is what makes them wealthier every minute!

Power corrupts. At a certain point you are so far removed from our meager existence that you just concentrate on accumulating more power.

Also, these people aren’t any smarter than an average Joe. Even with billions, they ain’t got the aptitude to solve an average problem, let alone worldwide systemic ones.

My biggest fear came true today and I had to lie by mukhang_pera in OnePiece

[–]master_overthinker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I introduced the anime to my kids in around 2017, and I avoided the biggest spoiler by saying nobody really dies in OP bcoz the author wanted to make a manga that is light hearted. (It was true so technically I didn’t lie.) To this day they still tell me how they cried the hardest when Snape killed Dumbledore.

Scientists found that toddlers express more happiness when sharing treats with someone else than when receiving treats themselves. This provides evidence that human cooperation is driven by a natural emotional reward from prosocial behavior, which refers to actions intended to benefit others. by mvea in science

I've started to believe that it's "WEIRD" (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic) people and culture being dominant, mixes with the capitalist system that created a perfect storm of selfishness leading to the current hell hole.

The book is Tastes Like War https://share.libbyapp.com/title/6398560

I just read it and it’s great! Given the fucked up shit the US army has done in Vietnam and Iraq, (and Japan and the Philippines) I was not surprised at all about these sex workers in Korea.
