Oh, right, the US has this weird Tesla oligopoly. In Europe, Tesla generally has a single-digit EV marketshare, so over 90% of consumers don't care about or use the Supercharger ne…

Nevertheless, there seems to be zero buy-in from commercial players in the US. It's such a weird uphill battle. I live in the US, but every summer I spend a month in Sweden, and th…

PRAISE BE THE OMNISSIAH!

Or Anthropic is full of TESCREAL morons who think they're assisting the birth of some digital god, and that this stage of development is a necessary evil on that path, and that, su…

No, it's not hyperbole. 5 weeks vacation is the legal minimum, this also includes the right to take 4 contiguous weeks in the summer. At my last employer, I had 6 weeks paid vacati…

> Your take is spot on, and it’s incredibly sad the number of people we’ve created whose only source of meaning or joy in their life is their desk job. I worked for a silicon valle…

> Giving employees 1 week of free time? That's nothing, and nothing will change too as a result. Give them a whole month of free time? I bet they will make some small, short term p…

> As far as non-parties to the conflict are concerned, Iran's toll is literal highway robbery. Yes. But before the US started this stupid war, everyone knew that Iran had strategic…

The reason for daylight savings, as batshit insane as it sounds, is that it's easier to authoritatively tell people what time it is, with a one-hour jump twice a year, than to tell…

> If things work so well that everyone's quality or life is improved, why would there be dissent large enough to worry about. Have you met people?

> that sweet old lady from Minnesota who's done rose painting (a national romantic fad around the time her ancestors immigrated) for 20 years is part of a living culture, which isn…

Because it encourages the weird cosplayers, who will then claim to be "more Italian than the Italians", which is complete nonsense. Because it's weird fetishisation of European cul…

"Fine, I won't connect then!1!!" What's wrong with you, you're responding to literally the opposite of what I said? You are free to connect, to seek your roots, figure out weird qu…

Holy racism, Batman!

Stop straw-manning, no-one is denying your heritage or your connections. Your grandmothers were Irish. But you're not. You're American, with Irish heritage. You were born in Americ…

> those Europeans gatekeeping European ethnic identity No no no, no-one is gatekeeping ethnicity. If you have Irish heritage, you have Irish heritage. That's a fact. We're gatekeep…

The weirdest part is that they stop tracing back the second they hit someone interesting, as if nothing interesting happened before that person. If their great-great-grandfather wa…

I think the explanation is much simpler, we know the Norse were a bit afraid of the Sami. They viewed them as a weird non-threatening neighbour people who had a weird language and …

> If people live side by side for 1000s of years, I think that's fair to speculate - there has to be a reason they didn't just assimilate into each other. Yeah, they had completely…

I remember the GDPRpocalypse which had a lot of Americans up in arms because of the wildly different approach to lawmaking that the EU has. Everyone on the US side was screaming fo…

Boom. Sooner or later. BOOM!

> I just wanted to point out that We already know. Everybody knows. That's the joke. There's no need to point out anything.

And yet, the average American pays more in taxes for public healthcare (medicare, medicaid) that they don't receive any of, than the average European pays in taxes for (some kind o…
