This. To put it simply, people respond better to what’s familiar and to what has a clear goal. F.e. if you’re about to open a restaurant, don’t sell power tools in it. If you want to sell powertools, create a separate store

And the one US car brand that sold well in Europe, Tesla

Well I mean there’s Ford as well and they sell pretty good as far as I know

I’m from the 90s and can confirm this is true

Yes but only because of a guy in 1910s who looked into it

The identity of Henry Symeonis was only (re-)discovered in 1912 by the then Keeper of the University Archives, Reginald Lane Poole. In an article for the English Historical Review, he looked at the curious statute and tried to get to the bottom of the Henry Symeonis mystery.

Explain this, scientists!

What are you going to do today?

My 2 cents:

• I think that saying was about democracy, not capitalism
• Bear in mind that US is a capitalist lunapark. Most developed countries understood that social policies are absolutely necessary for people, even though we could call those countries a “capitalist country” or countries “based on capitalism”. Just saying that don’t take what’s happenning in the US as a base because it’s not
• If we’re about to start to brainstorm about different systems - bear in mind that (not all but many) people are greedy, proud, jealous and sometimes assholes. And personally, I have a really hard time to design a system that would handle all those wonderful human treats in some decent way

P.S. I was born in socialist Czechoslovakia and its goal was noble but … it’s amazing to watch human greed and jealousy to take over a system like socialism

But I can buy anything with fiat curency and with bitcoin I can basically buy nothing. And I never will be able probably, bitcoin is too slow to be used as an actual curency to buy common things like groceries

Why waste time like this? Wouldn’t it be better if cinemas would use vertical screens where a popular youtuber would describe the plot of the movie in like 30 seconds while talking at 2x speed?

The opposite, I always sleep with blanket on even if I don’t want to. In summer I fall asleep with blanket on my side and wake up fully covered in blanket. And sweating like a pig

This is fake, no one can code like that

Hey! I’m not balls!

(also Pebis?)

Because Arch is at best comparable to sport fandom, at worst to religious cult. And fans/cultists do these kinds of things

TIL people don’t know about rosetta stone. My mom loves ancient Egypt so information like this was my “daily bread” when I was little, never realized that this isn’t common

And also how often the movie is completely oblivious to that. For example it’s been a while since I saw “Devil wears Prada” but if I remember right, the ending is:

Our main character has an argument with her boyfriend

Goes to a business trip in Paris

Sleeps with random guy

Returns home and makes up with her boyfriend

And the movie ends like nothing happened, she’s happy, that’s what’s important

If you have to ask, then you don’t know
