Why can't [redacted]?
  • I strongly believe/hope that most people want to do this but have the same type of invisible forcefield that keeps us from running of a cliff holding us (because me included) back

  • Showering is bourgeois decadence
  • Hygiene nowadays is a capitalists dream, it’s so easy to push irrational norms in this space. The commercials push for crazy things, washing your hair every day and then adding back the oils you just washed away with a conditioner, using some body spray instead of a baking soda based deodorant. Even toothpaste manufacturers try to scam us in using way too much toothpaste.

    Not saying you should stink but honestly it is so much easier to be clean without using all those products. Plus it saves a bunch of money.

    How do you deal with radicalizing someone close to you?
  • Do you want her to stress about the same things you stress about or do you want to be able to talk to her about those things? I think the first one is sort of mean, not you for wanting that but if she can be ignorant and happy why not? If she doesn’t want you to talk about it at all that’s a different story

  • Can someone explain what is meant when people talk about "increased interest rates" and "no more free money"?
  • The company I worked for was a VC backed startup and they used the phrase: no more free money, to let us know we were let go. A lot of governments kept interest artificially low to ward of a recession (causing our current one) before and during covid. With this low interest rate people (more likely companies) were able to borrow money from the banks with no or even negative interest. Thus the idea of free money, as long as you invest and don’t lose it you can use that money to “make” more money.

    Now with the interest rates rising this is a lot riskier, and VCs and companies are less eager to invest.

    Let me know if this cleared it up 😁

  • I talked to an old German man in Argentina and he really aged out clearly how amazing the Nazis were
  • Fucking bullshit. I spent a couple of months in Vietnam and the sentiment is the opposite, first off they call it the American war. Words matter and in this case they it’s clear they view it as a war caused and perpetuated by a foreign government and not as a civil war between south and north.

    Second is the fact that almost all museums and everyone I talked with is not hiding their disdain for the treatment and warcrimes committed against their family in this war. And their pride in having survived the war as a more unified country, this shows in their sentiment towards the renaming of Saigon to Ho-Chi-Minh City.

    Anecdotal of course but I’m really not sure where he met these people, my experience is like I wrote abough, North through South.

  • Former PM Alexander Stubb wins Finnish presidency, narrowly defeating ex-top diplomat Pekka Haavisto
  • I have some Finish friends who thought this was just a symbolic position. I think a lot of the EU democracies are in risk to be falling over to the right without the checks and balances working like the average person expects them to, scary shit if you’d ask me

  • Is my reading comprehension that bad or do they never make the argument you’re putting in their mouth? That they’re saying getting rid of capitalism doesn’t get rid of white supremacy doesn’t mean they think capitalism is the way to get rid of it right?

  • Is preloading/caching data before the actual method call an (anti)pattern?
  • If testing this properly is your problem you should invest time in integration testing, running them on an in-memory database is an option as well. I think retrieving all the data and “caching” it like you call it has some negative consequences, for example what if the validation for some action fails and you didn’t need to load whatever you preloaded? Waste of a call to the db
