I concur, even though I have only used it as a hobbyist.

Alcohol is a duretic, that is no myth. Vasopressin/ADH inhibition is well documented and studied. You are talking out of your ass about hydration by alcohol. Even miniscule amounts of alcohol increase duresis via supression of ADH.

I too have heard about the theory about how alcohol was safer to drink than water, however, a lot of literature also points to the fact that aclohol was consumed mostly for inebriation.

At the root of all this is a philosophical problem that encompasses all we do: unsustainable growth. We're culturally obsessed with the concept of "more". More value. More money. More features. More, more, more. This is where it gets us: over the verge of ecological catastrophe. Unsustainable systems prone to breakage. Enshittification of everything. Planned obsolescence and yearly phone upgrades, natural resources be damned!

If we are to survive, we need to slow down and instead of making "more" make "better". Follow Unix philosophy. Embrace "good enough" and learn to stop.

Who am I kidding, we're doomed.

it is a positivistic science, i.e. it studies observable phenomena using the scientific method. The days of Freud and Jung where you could just smoke cigars and fart out ideas about collective unconsciousness and anal fixation are long over. Experiments are conducted, confounding variables controlled, and hypotheses (including H0) are tested. Granted, it's not as easy as in physics where you just drop a ball repeatedly and note down the results, buf it doesn't in any way make it a "softer" science. To equate psychology with self-help books is akin to equating LLMs with Markov chains.

you have no idea what "psychology" is, do you?

hahaha yes. This kind of a layoff is actually winning the lottery.

your facts: billionaires not sitting on billions. My facts: homelesness exists.

Also moving money from your left hand to your right is not circulation. It should "trickle down". Wonder where I heard this.

you know what is really funny? the neoliberal narrative of free markets and trickle-down economies and billionaires being valuable members of thr society. If humans are not needed to get stuff done, what's the use for those humans, mmmm?

It sure don't look this way to me. I guess we'll agree to disagree on most points here.

AI is tipping the scales not to the favour of the proletariat. "The means of production" is in the hands of the powerful few, and I foresee a very bloody revolution.

that's true. Therefore billions should return into circulation and/or otherwise return to the public.

you are not alone

always upvote damninteresting.

money is a public resource.

Maybe at some size corporations _should_ become public entities to avoid dragon disease and only those corporations having the means of production. After all, they did grow enormously big by consuming public resources and labor.

Yay more strobing! More migraines! Isn't civilization great!

You can using a CAA DNS record.

I think a french tradition of building barricades and setting shit on fire is sorely needed in brussels.

less bullshit would be nice than more but we're so good at polluting, we'll just start shitting in the noosphere as well until it also becomes uninhabitable for humans just like our own planet.

Wow, man, your mental gymnastics are impressive and your gaslighting skills are formidable.

Are you saying that greed and straight-out lying is moral, and just because there is a powerful and dangerous minority of super-greedy liars it actually is the only means of social existence? LOL. LMAO even.

"Ads are just making people aware of something" is either a five-year old understanding of what ads are, or a deliberate lie.

I wish I could upvote you more. I too think that advertisements are at best unethical, at worst downright evil. Just like organized religion, the ads are designed to distort the perceived reality into something that it isn't and part the fool and their money.

Thanks mate!

you are absolutely right!

wow, didn't expect to see my blog on HN. Thanks, I guess!
