your issue is with bad urban planning, not offices lol


oh ye? i’m addicted to having a sexual relationship with ur mom gotem hehe 😎 (i’ve unsolved homelessness) (i don’t deserve housing)




Worker rights in PRC
i'm curious to get some concrete data wrt to worker rights/labour legislation in prc: is it as bad as it's often perceived in the west? has anything changed recently? there's a weird duality to it in my perception, on one side it's a relatively happy nation, but on the other side there is the crazy 996 work schedule, poor safety net that's largely substituted by investment in housing etc 🤔

the guy is a carnist, the videos may be (and probably are, he has a masters in climate policy iirc so eh) perfectly valid, but i just can’t stand observing him unironically just consuming animal products while talking about the danger of climate change, guy is a clown


another day of thanking god i don’t live in amerika 🙏😊


sorry, i don’t really understand what you’re trying to convey :(



my brother in christ, just use whatever you want, get a life 😭


it’s a much more complicated situation than is often portrayed, where everything is sublimated into homogenous good and bad guys, with no intersection


the anglosphere can just be considered lost at this point tbh 🤷‍♀️


i found the video and the things discussed in it interesting 🤷‍♀️





easier, less hassle 🤷‍♀️



here for a good time, not and a long time 😎



i think you underestimate the effect of car size on cities


i vaguely recall this really cool documentary with pretty interesting visuals about stuff raf did on youtube, but i can’t find it now for some reason 😭😔

prolly got deleted or smth, anyone lemme know if you know that one or you find it…


to be fair, the Russian counter strike scene was always rather rough, with pretty toxic ppl, but ye, i think you may be right to a degree


i really like this one, it’s kinda expensive tho, might be out of your price range 😉









i forgot 😔 it was a long time ago



i’ve seen a lot of such footage where conductors spend like 30 seconds trying to forcefully pack in a entire train carriage in order for the doors to close and i’ve always found it to be so weird

like, if your metro is so busy, i’m assuming you have trains running every 60-90 seconds, which translates roughly to the minimum safe distance between trains, therefore they literally just spent like half the time they’d have to wait for another train to come simply trying to shove in one passenger, delaying not only everyone on that train, but also everyone is subsequent trains

where is the logic?


found the american lol


no, refuse to elaborate

idk, i’ve never heard ppl say these things about brutalism 🤔

maybe a somewhat similar sentiment in protest of high-rise and boring social housing, which happened to have a somewhat brutalist style, but never brutalism itself

if anything, some of the most interesting brutalist works are located in western countries such as england and japan


phone keyboards are so small, that, in my experience, however good they are, it’s basically impossible to type quickly without mistakes, so i always have autocorrect turned on on my phone

however, i compensate for the diminishing knowledge of spelling by turning off autocorrect on my computer, works fine 🤷‍♀️


i don’t understand

is the implication that brutalism does take inspiration from random objects and people dislike it because of that?


well, i hope you’re right in the sense that this entire thing is actually a negotiating tactic, however, i can’t help but still remain pretty worried

i guess we’ll just see what happens, bc we will probably have a relatively certain answer soon 🤷‍♀️


i swear, poor urban planning seems to be the most universal thing ever sometimes 🤦‍♀️

russia is a country with the most number of nuclear weapons in the world, being extremely sensitive about any border disputes, fueled by an unfortunate self-perpetuating symbiosis of a large portion of the population being nationalistic being catered to by an equally nationalistic autocrat…

no sensible country would touch such an explosive combination country with a long pole, let alone try to invade, which would virtually guarantee mutual destruction with nuclear weapons…


your comment is clearly formulated in a way so that my reply to it should give my reasons why i believe russia is likely to invade ukraine, which isn’t bad in any way of course (formulation, not invasion), but, i’m afraid there’s not much i can offer besides the existing satellite pictures, convoy footage, articles and other news coverage, intelligence of other countries etc, which you no doubt have already seen

don’t get me wrong, i, more than anyone would like this whole thing to turn out to be a too-far-taken negotiating tactic for russia’s demands to stop expansion of nato, bc i have ukranian friends who are likely to get drafted, some of my closest friends in russia were at risk of being drafted even before this whole thing started, i myself could get drafted in the event of a war

i would be really happy to be able to look back at this comment in a year and laugh at how ridicululous this whole thing was, but, one thing we’ve learned is that we’ll never fail to be surprised by the kind of fucked up shit a crazy nationalistic autocrat with zero oversight catering to a nationalistic population can do…


guys about to be invaded by russia and they’re protesting nato/us imperialism? like, i get it, it’s an issue, but it’s really really far from the most urgent one for them 😬

can someone pls explain what’s happening?




til some people walk around with shoes ON in their houses, wtf? 🤔🤦‍♀️


english journalists trying to make an article that doesn’t revolve around the us challenge (impossible)

nice article otherwise though :)

telegram is indeed a peculiarity in the modern technological scene, as the article puts it, at first i was a little disappointed that telegram doesn’t follow the traditional oss path, with all the related challenges and benefits, but over time, i thought, telegram probably has a cocnrete plan, and it’s successful obviously

maybe telegram deliberately chose this on-the-edge position (not fully open source, but not completely proprietary; not fully transparent, but also clearly provides some insight; not completely ad-free, but also not excessively commercialized), and it’s a part of what makes it so successful: combining the best parts of both “sides”, so to speak idk 🤷‍♀️




these types of seemingly absurd combinations are not intended to be things you wear on a regular day, to school etc, they try to encapsulate and present design concept and ideas, sometimes rather vague ones

all of that, combined with the fact that you need to accentuate certain aspects you really care about, obv in the end it doesn’t come out as something super practical










/> tin t4 /> cost about 100 usd /> sound amazing for the price, better than a lot of 300-400 usd headphones /> comes with beautiful high quality case (synthetic leather) /> headphones themselves made out of stunning machined aluminium /> standardized detachable replaceable mmcx cable /> cable itself pretty nice /> 3.5 mm connector so rigid you could kill somebody with it /> never need to be charged /> will prolly last so long they'll outlive you /> neutral/warm-ish sound, relatively accurate /> relatively unknown, but of much better value than the vast majority of "known" brands

If you could introduce a few obscure/minor laws to your country, which ones would you choose that would make the most positive or interesting impact?
i'd probably pick - cartoon tv series can't have more than 3 seasons - avocados should have most subsidies of any food - electron apps are now illegal - normal tv series can't have more than 5 seasons - protruding doorsteps are now illegal

hey guys, so i have this slave-run plantation, and i'm extremely concerned about climate change, so here's a 200 page meta analysis to try to figure out whether using slaves is environmentally friendly 🤗
