I think it even goes beyond that. e.g. the sowjet union genuinely had issues with food security, but they still fucked up when they dried out the aral sea because they were acting shortsightedly.

You don’t need capitalism to suck, though. The Spanish conquistadores were slavers and genocidal murderers but they certainly weren’t capitalists.

And it’s not just capitalism, living beyond their means was rather common for many civilizations in the past and some of them paid dearly for it. And look at who ruled the area when the aral sea started to dry up, which fucked the entire area to hell. That wasn’t capitalism, just a short-sighted communist (or “communist”, but that definitely wasn’t capitalism) regime.

It’s definitely possible for humans to not suck in this aspect, but once you get to a certain level of technology and organization it gets pretty hard.

I have a hard time believing that not having enough sex was ever the reason that prehistoric people had too few children.

Fetal alcohol syndrome has to have a huge negative impact on population survivability. I have a hard time believing that even that one one-in-a-million genetic freak superman is able to offset that. Seems more likely that if anything, the general benefits of alcohol consumption (e.g. incentive to settle down into agrarian communities, increased social cohesion) outweight the negative health impacts.

Most dragon killing in Skyrim wasn’t fun, though, it was annoying and you did it because dragon attacks depopulated villages (i.e. remove interactable NPCs).

Which distro are you using? AMD has been completely plug-and-play for me.

I hate any insect that’s making noise around me, and with flies you also know that they’re very unhygienic (as opposed to certain beetles that are just kind of loud and annoying, but completely harmless).

Nice!

Could also be multilingual third party bots.

Can’t blame them, learning a language from a completely different language family is really hard, especially if you also have to learn a completely different writing system (though the latin alphabet is at least objectively simpler than the chinese and japanese writing systems). I lucked out because German and English are closely related, but I didn’t even manage to properly learn Spanish despite trying for 6 years.

The Germans are definitely just using Reddit. As the other commenter said, compare the numbers of native speakers of e.g. German (about 100 million) with those of English (about 400 million) and then consider how much more common English is as a second language compared to most other European languages. Spanish is probably the biggest question mark here, they actually have more native speakers than English. There is also the possibility that Reddit-style platforms just aren’t as popular everywhere, it appeals to a particular demographic that might just not be as big in e.g. Colombia as it is in, say. Sweden.

I’ll probably die of dysentery. Just because I know modern hygiene rules doesn’t mean I’ll survive interacting with all the other people who don’t but are used to local bacteria and viruses.

Only one of those is actually what I’d describe as “polo shirt and sweatpants” - first one isn’t really wearing sweatpants (and doesn’t have super hairy legs like many men) and the third one isn’t wearing a polo shirt. And yeah, the look might work if you’re fit and at least know how to pick clothes that match (color and fit) both with each other and with the way your body, hair etc. look. But the way you’re describing yourself doesn’t really sound like it.

OP seems to care about appearances a lot, they’re just not good at it themselves.

Nah, those are what makes him lose.

He has ESO. Which kind of sucks, but it’s still more new content than the Oblivion remake.

Thanks, not sure where I got alt+tab from - I think ctrl+tab is actually the more common shortcut for tab switching nowadays.

I’m a programmer and I still use Kate mostly for notetaking and configuration editing. I tend to use other editors like VS Code when I’m doing more involved stuff.
