Before reading this, I was going to share something about salvia as well. Its the only drug where I had actual real life hallucinations. Once after smoking it, my living room was filled with friends in a party/birthday setting (I was actually alone at that moment).
Hotels are fine when you are alone or a couple. When you have (young) kids an appartement or house is much better, where the kids get a room. Hotels have family rooms, but its usually an extra bed in the same small hotel room. Where you basically have to be silent when the kids go to bed and have zero time as a couple.
Well your country voted for him, TWICE!
Even if France would change back exactly to how things where in 1970, that is not going to fix this. People are getting older (so more years retired and more years with extra healthcare) and at the same time there is a lower birth rate. France went from about 3.1 working contributors per retiree in 1970 to just 1.8 in 2024.
Al developed counties have this problem and they all struggle to solve this, France also has a huge debt.
This is why I don't understand the point of the riots. Every time famers in France get less money or more environmental rules, riots. Every time people are told you have to retire later, because the current system is going to collapse, riots. It's the goto move, but almost no structural changes are made. France needs to understand they can't maintain the current system.
His talking points aren't even really interesting. AI is overhyped, companies don't like to lose IP and data to AI companies, etc.
For me it's also a price issue, after my streaming more expensive year on year at some point I just stopped and paid for VPN and Usenet.
Unfortunately my local gas station (Netherlands) also puts ads on the pumps. Glad I never have to go there anymore (recently switched to an EV)
When I was in the US it was just confusing sometimes. Like I went to this restaurant to order a pizza, to-go. They had a sign outside and the pizza was like 18 dollars, but when you want to pay its more because of tax, and now they also expected a tip. Ok but it's to go right? So you also tip when getting groceries? The entire system just felt very arbitrary.
Have you seen what happens to animal species that evolve on some island and one day an non native exotic animal is introduced? In a lot of cases that animal goes extinct. Even if we would all magically agree to never attack other counties and all dissolve our army's, only 1 country has to break the packt and we all have a real chance to be invaded. If we are doing imaginary systems, I would suggest a system where we all agree to respect current borders and never invade and all also agree to fight any country that breaks the rule. Sort of a more global and more elaborate NATO.
Yeah not every Iranian that is against the current régime wants the Shah back, they also don't have a great track record.
I needed a fresh install and didn't want a lot of downtime. Cachyos basically worked without much effort so I didn't have a reason to change it.
