  • I was thinking about the US lately. Can’t remember why exactly maybe some friends popped up on my Facebook.

    But I decided it actually wouldn’t be that bad of a place to live. If it wasn’t for the toxic work culture.

    If they worked normal hours and had 20+ holidays it would be alright. Other shit annoy me and you would have to make sure you live in the nice areas but I could live there and enjoy it. But the work culture is an absolute no go. Wish they were like the Aussie. Show up do hard day of work fuck off for some beers. If the surfs good call in sick and end up seeing your boss in the line up. Work hard for a few months then decide fuck it and go to Bali for a weekend accidentally stay there for two months then decide you need to go back to work because travelling is too much effort walk into a job 1 week after landing home.




  • There was a TV show. Stephen Fry 100 greatest gadgets.

    For 1 he told a story about how some guy was talking to a largely uncontacted tribe and they were really interested in their tech.

    So he knew they would have a supply drop and took them out to see the plane for the first time ever. The tribe was remarkable unimpressed with the sight.

    The guy asked what was up and they came back with the reply “You can make fire from your fingertips. Of course you can fly”

    He named the lighter the number 1 gadget.

    The first time I learnt about my asbestos I was about 12 and my mum was going off at my dad about it. This was after we just took a load of roofing off an old shed without masks or gloves.

    Thinking of it. He also give me fucking tinnitus when I was like 22. Really should have fucking learnt my lesson by then :(

    God: “I’ll make a wonder material. Fire proof. Strong. Insulating. Just dig it up from the ground. Common a fuck. Waterproof.”

    “Then they can all get cancer the cunts”

    “Okay I’m done shit posting for now. Where’s that big tittie blonde gone”








  • The problem is the same all over Europe people are unhappy with immigration from MENA.

    None of the centre or left parties will deal with it, except in Denmark and Poland which coincidentally have seen lower votes for far right parties. But that’s probably unrelated right.

    So yea. Let’s decide who should be in power and what they think of is right goes and ban anyone that thinks differently.



  • And no, the hypothetical of the robot skyscrapers is not “meaningless.”

    It’s not meaningless in itself. Its meaningless to the conversation. It’s literally a hypothetical you invented for no reason. You’re just rambling.

    Are you actually trying to claim that if the population was much smaller than it is today total resource use across the globe would be the same?

    Because if not my point stands.

    A lot of people think rockets can be very profitable. Its just a long term bet and you lack imagination. I would need to check but I’m pretty certain spacex is profitable.

    Those other companies are still in R and D.


  • The only billionaire I know of that is launching rockets is Elon Musk.

    That’s just evidence that capitalism is efficient. Because SpaceX has revolutionised space travel making the only reusable rocket doing something all the government agencies said was impossible. NASAs new unbuilt rocket is using tech from the 1970 that they are going to throe away into the ocean on every launch.

    The rest you say is meaningless. How you expect this robotic skyscrapers to be built? Some MIT masters project or some capitalist experiment?
