We could start by taxing capital gains progressively, similar to salaries. In my country, you pay a flat 25% no matter if you make one dollar or a billion. Why should a worker have…

The Witcher 3 is great in German. It actually suits the game a lot better than English imo.

You'll find that Scandinavian countries are not readily welcoming foreigners into their social circles either.

German films are mostly not great, but if one wants to get immersed into the language, music and literature are much better places. And also comedy. The language allows for some gr…

No. This is what capitalists want you to believe. The truth is that we are all subsiziding the capital gains of the wealthiest 2%. You could easily pay for generous social security…

If you have the money, you can get excellent healthcare in almost any civilized country. You're free to pay for your treatment in Canada, too.

This reminds of sensitivity vs. specificity for medical tests. You essentially have a 2x2 matrix: Error vs. non-error on one axis, and detected vs. not detected on the other. If we…

Oh, the joy was never fully lost to me. I still listen to bands so obscure that Spotify and Youtube Music don't have them, so I have no other choice. I'm slowly reverting back to m…

The opening of FFX basically is basically an FMV with edgy metal built in. :D

English is not my native language, but I consider myself fairly fluent. I've never heard the expression "belt-and-suspenders" before Claude.

I've recently noticed an increase in "bite". "This will only bite if..." It also loves "stress-testing", "matrix", "anchor" and "flagging".

I love Tiled Words, thanks for making it.

Kombucha is the best "natural" soft drink for me, too. It's not entirely sugar-free, though (even though you can get it to low-sugar with longer fermentation).

Ah, good old Dragonspice.de, they have provided me with supplies for many of my experiments as well. I have many of the essential oils already, I might try this! Thank you for post…

I regularly replay FFX, I recently replayed the Battle Realms remaster, and now I'm once again on Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

I agree with this observation. I often assumed it would be an USP if I highlight that I want to understand how things work instead of blindly following paradigms and frameworks, bu…

I don't know the exact reason, but when they don't share the process or prompt, it seems like they're trying to gatekeep their results – which is very ironic from someone using a t…

That's interesting to hear, because my impression was that software/web development is a field full of people who are self-taught or at least very enthusiastic about learning new t…

So you're saying that someone who likes both OOP and Javascript and more functional-style programming could be a sought after candidate?

The Timely clock app. It was bought by Google and then never updated so it doesn't work on newer Android versions. Sad.

Jelly is thickened juice, jam contains the pulp. Why? Different textures.

I don't think there's an apprenticeship for every passion out there. I definitely didn't see my passions reflected in typical job profiles.

Much better than last year, which is what I had been hoping for. There's still a ways to go, but it seems the worst is behind me, finally. It was a long and dark period with extrem…
