Independent thinker valuing discussions grounded in reason, not emotions.

I say unpopular things but never something I know to be untrue. Always open to hear good-faith counter arguments. My goal is to engage in dialogue that seeks truth rather than scoring points.

  • What my front page looks like with no-politics content filter on

  • None, it's the web version.

    Sorry for late reply, I no longer use this account.

  • Found this picture of my rig while going thru my photos. I wish it was summer already..

    Jump

  • It's not just snow, it's the darkness as well. It's quite lonely out there in the pitch black forest with just your headlights. I'm also pretty much just limited to the trails people have walked on where as during summertime I can drive where ever I please.

  • Younger cannabis users have reduced brain function, finds largest study yet

    Jump

  • I’d be amazed if it didn’t have any negative health consequences - very few things in life come without trade-offs. The real question is how significant those consequences are and whether the benefits outweigh them. For many, the answer is yes.

  • You don’t hate women and feminism. You hate capitalism.

    Jump

  • Am I needed in this discussion? I thought that you can read my mind when you're so confidently educating me about my own views.

  • Why do smokers specifically seem to be disproportionally bad for littering?

    Jump

  • Somehow they seem to think that one small cigarette butt is so insignificant that it doesn't matter despite the fact that they can see these small cigarette butts literally everywhere.

  • You don’t hate women and feminism. You hate capitalism.

    Jump

  • Or perhaps I just think differently than you.

  • You don’t hate women and feminism. You hate capitalism.

    Jump

  • I hate none of the three.

  • OSB or plywood for general cabinet making?

    Jump

  • Appereance is subjective but strenght is not. OSB is significantly weaker than regular plywood. Personally I consider it a construction material meant for walls, roofs and floors but I'd never use it for furniture making.

  • What is something that keeps you up at night?

    Jump

  • Anxiety / stress. Usually it relates to finances either directly or indirectly. I have enough savings to survive few years with zero income but having recently transitioned from employee to being self-employed, there's quite a bit uncertainty about future. I'm not losing any significant amounts of money currently but I'm barely able to save anything either which makes me quite uncomfortable as someone who for the past 10 years has lived well below their means.

  • "Meritocracy"

    Jump

  • What my front page looks like with no-politics content filter on

    Jump

  • That's my experience as well. In order to get a healthy, moderate amount of news you have to actively avoid them. I even tried avoiding weather forecasts at one point but people kept telling me.

  • What item(s) that you currently own do you expect to be using for the rest of your life given that you don't break or lose it?

    Jump

  • It’s around 20 years old, if not older. What’s interesting to me is that when I bought it, I hadn’t done any research - I just walked up to the Leatherman display at the store, fiddled with all of them, and the Wave was the one I liked best. Only 15 years later did I find out it’s one of their best selling models.

    The only feature from the newer models I wish it had is one handed operation for the pliers where you can just flick it open like a pocket knife.

  • Another OpenAI researcher quits—claims AI labs are taking a ‘very risky gamble’ with humanity amid the race toward AGI

    Jump

  • Yeah, I agree with all of this. What I’m pushing back against is the absolute, dismissive tone some people take whenever the potential dangers of AGI are brought up. Once someone is at least willing to accept the likely reality that we’ll have AGI at some point, then we can move on to debating the timescale.

    If an asteroid impact were predicted 100 years from now, at what point should we start taking steps to prevent it? Framing it this way makes it feel more urgent - at least to me.

    Jump

  • I'd rather stay informed too but not at the expense of my mental wellbeing. It's not political posts that's the issue here - it's the amount of them.

  • What item(s) that you currently own do you expect to be using for the rest of your life given that you don't break or lose it?

    Jump

  • Mine is 17 years old but last year I upgraded the last original parts in it (MB, CPU & RAM) so now only the case is original and I don't think it counts as the same PC anymore.

  • What item(s) that you currently own do you expect to be using for the rest of your life given that you don't break or lose it?

    Jump

  • Our body!

  • I've always assumed that the average user here is around 30 years old.

  • Let me guess; Knipex?

    • Kitchen knives. No reason to replace them with others that would do the exact same thing.
    • Cast iron skillets. Indestructable, will easily outlive me.
    • Shemagh scarf. Oldest piece of clothing I have. I've had it for almost 20 years.
    • Bushcraft knife. Indestructable, does everything it needs to and nothing else. No need to upgrade.
    • Leatherman Wave. There are newer and better ones out there but it has sentimental value to me and 99% of the time when I need a multitool it's either the pliers or screwdriver that I'm after.
    • Yeti thermos mug. Can't possibly imagine what new feature a mug could have that would make me want to upgrade.

    Throughout human history, there’s always been a lack of information. Then, somewhere around 2005, there was this brief moment where we had the perfect amount - and ever since, it’s been far too much.
