Like, these kinda people exist. He's probably depressed, unemployed, and doesn't know what to do with his life.

My take is: we should improve society somewhat. If society improves, this too will improve, in yours and countless other examples.

There's no point haggling with single, individual cases like these IMO, because you "fix one hole, open another" or sth. Really, i started to abandon the concept of finding personal relationships, and instead focus on what can be done to improve society as a whole. Kinda like what priests who lived without real private lifes did in the medieval times. It's challenging, but fulfilling.

Yeah, sounds like you might have depression. That might sound scary now, like "uuh, depression, i don't want to have a grave sickness", but actually IIRC, like 20% of teenagers nowadays have depression. So it's pretty normal.

Contrary to what the stereotypes might say, depression does not mean that you're "sad" all the time (at least for most people), it rather means that you're tired or without emotion most of the time.

I know the feeling of not wanting to spend time with other people because they might seem "boring". But, as you've mentioned in another post (iirc), many of your friends seem to be "weirdos" (a.k.a. neurodivergent), so they might actually be interesting people. Either give them a try, or become yourself the interesting person that you would want to interact with, or wait until you one day meet somebody that you're willing to spend more time with.

omg, that whole comment thread is just so incredibly wholesome. i'm a weirdo too, btw, in case anybody wants to be friends 🤗

or you store the trash somewhere until recycling is economically viable, which it probably will be, at least for some types of plastics, once that renewable energy gets significantly cheaper than the oil required to make new plastics.

tbf, every time you're installing basically anything at all, you basically trust whoever hosts the stuff that they don't temper with it. you're already putting a lot of faith out there, and i'm sure a lot of the software actually contains crypto-mineware or something else.

the interestingness of numbers is a field that fulfills Laplace's equation, with the constraint that 0 is infinitely interesting, and the interestingness converges to zero for n -> infinity.

you know what i've come to suspicion lately?

actually, rent prices might be so high because there's fewer houses/apartments than people looking for one, and that drives prices up (low supply, high demand), but the reason that supply is so low is because investors are predicting that the population number will fall in the future (due to low birth rate), so people's demand for houses/apartments will be lower as well. so if they construct now, it might not pay out for them later on. that is why they're waiting, and not constructing, and if people do the same, instead of buying houses now, buying them later (e.g. living with your parents), rent and housing prices might significantly go down.

i remember reading that they were the newly-founded, glowing-eyes company like 3 months ago
