Nordic retirement funds famously don’t invest in shitty companies or housing property… directly. In Nordic countries.
They do own a sizeable chunk of middleman and own a lot of empty estates as well as renting agencies, e.g. in London UK, Gdansk Poland (and I forgot all other places)
derogatory language towards sexually promiscuous women
So… She called (an imaginary?) slut “slut” and had to apologize for it?
Good advice, except that’s not a long term storage. Bit corruption is a thing.
I honestly think that LLM will result in no progress made ever in computer science.
Most past inventions and improvements were made because of necessity of how sucky computers are and how unpleasant it is to work with them (we call it “abstraction layers”). And it was mostly done on company’s dime.
Now companies will prefer to produce slop (even more) because it will hope to automate slop production.
Dude, are you like literally crazy? You come here, suddenly start calling me names and now are trying to gaslight me tham I need to defend or some other shit?
Get help. Blocked.
So you had nothing to say about whats wrong with planned urbanization, so you went again for a personal attack, and switching to something something about marxist or communism because… Well, honestly, I don’t know why nor do I care.
This is the only thing of value you wrote
Objectively, it was bad to build unhabitable skyskrapers.
Yes. Those few bad actors who build tofu buildings in Tukery, Greece, China, Myanmar, Bangkok, or USA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Regency_walkway_collapse#%3A~%3Atext=On+July+17%2C+1981%2C+two%2Cweight+it+held+that+night.) or wherever are bad and did wrong. What’s your point?
Yeah, my server end with ml so I must be a tankie, makes sense.
It cannot be that I genuinely appreciate long term vision policies. I must be a tankie. And you’re right, those cities were not needed, and planned urbanization must be planned only 2 years ahead because everything else is speculative bubble made for speculation.
I’m sorry, I’m a little bit lost. I do agree that investment in owning rentals should be forbidden (and if city needs rental units they should be owned by the city).
I do not agree that “ghost cities” were built for speculative purposes. Speculants were buying them like crazy, yes, but the actual need for housing in regions planned (expected?) to undergo urbanization is real and the buildings were fulfilling that purpose.
There are always bad actors in the system (see: hedge funds). But bubble? It can be argued that Ordos (the ghost city) was build too early, but it’s filling in nicely. From 30k in 2009 to 2.000.000+ in 2020.

On the other hand noone ever build a damn whole modern city before for the people, so I’m not surprised they jumped the gun.
And the main AI companies have actual products that make money for them rolled out already. So it is not like the dot com bubble

I wouldn’t really know, I live in Poland and whenever I go West I’m surprised how backward technologically it is (France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland; only Portugal seems to be modern).
Maybe not backward but lacking internet-related improvements, like being able to take care of government thingies online (I think Denmark is the best in that regard), pay using your national pay processors, get cheap internet, update your opening hours online, not take a 4h break midday… you know, common conveniences
Islam and Middle Eastern religions have been around FAR longer than any country in the west has existed.
I want to say no, because there are sheds in Scotland (~100 BC) older than Islam (~600 AD), and 600 AD in Europe we had shitton of Kingdoms etc, but maybe I didn’t understand your point? Could you explain what did you mean?
I wonder if you know that both Christianity and Islam are just splinter sects of Judaism? And if you’re against Judaism, or think it’s evil or smthing, you should consider being against its spin-offs.
We dont; we need USA pay processors alternatives, and of those in EU we have plenty (but I don’t know your specific country, so maybe not in your country).
The Middle East was one of the most progressive places in the world. Islam is still the most tolerant religion
Either you’re trolling, or have never studied history of Islam, it’s birth and spread. Or were taught those by your local priest.
Wonderlands
Interesting. To me that game was just the worst:
Unskippable, long, very very very long, boring dialogues.
Shitty weapons, but fantasy. E.g. no oomph feeling when you hit the enemy with a large ice explosions. It just scraps a little of their health.
Boring, unchallenging fights.
Does not have widgets/has some limited plugins. Can’t have apps pinned on screen. Looks nifty but it’s unusable for me :(
no less unhealthy
Yeah, given the history of capitalism, that will not happen. Look, they even made real meat unhealthy just to increase the profit (meat “yield” from animal), with lab-grown meat they would cut corners even further.
Chickens we are given today weight at least 5 times more than chicken 50 years ago (or “heritage breed”) and reach that weight in 6 weeks vs a year. To even buy a heritage breed chicken you need to have time, money and know-how, and you’re still likely to get just a 100 days old chicken.
I can’t even predict how they will enshittify lab-grown meat if it’s ever perfected.
I don’t like fast food, beyond/impossible meat is factory produced slop. They even made a South Park episode about it.
Also, with imitation and lab-grown options, I’d no longer have to deal with the disgust factor of handling raw meat (esp. the juices)
Could it be you were never taught to respect the animals we eat? I find that common in people who grew up in big cities / never spent time in the countryside / are young enough to have never seen a pig being dismantled / never fished.
My another point against lab grown meat is that so far any time we tried to manufacture food, within 30 years it turned out to be very bad for us (e.g. obesity epidemic is mainly caused by UPF).
Cucumbers. You can pickle it, eat it raw, semi-pickle it (google Polish 2 day dill pickles). Or try raddishes if you want stronger flavours.
Side note:
That’s not a tomato. A proper tomato is firm and sweet and not uniform in shape or colour. Source: am eating some right now, took me forever to find seeds.
The shit we are sold as tomatoes are bulldogs of tomato family. Crossbred damaged line created to maximise profit and decrease production cost, by sacrificing quality and taste.
