Not if you’re rich 😏

There are more people alive today that believe in mythological deities, or that the earth is flat than at any other point in human history.

In absolute terms? Maybe. There’s more people alive today than there ever have been.

In relative terms, i.e. fraction of believers to non-believers? There is no way in Hera’s great grassy brassiere I’m believing that without sauce.

Maybe I got a bit excited on the range there. Find me a bike that does 150km and charges in 30 seconds 😏

Electric bikes should in theory be much, much faster. Energy density is a problem, tho. Can’t fit much battery in a small frame, so you sacrifice power for range.

Find me a 200hp electric bike that will do 400km on a charge and I’ll be the first in line.

I regularly get more expensive prices when browsing on my Apple stuff than my GF on her Android.

The vast majority of people are non-techies, and that’s quite profitable.

Go watch the 3 live concerts they had, with the voice actors and the singers from the OST.

Bring tissues.

I can hear this image. I can feel the tears coming.

Am I beautiful?

80 hours.

What an absolute acid trip of a country.

Fifth once-in-a-lifetime economic crisis here I gooooooooooooo

Some of us embrace the meaninglessness.

Sure, one of these days I’m gonna kick it and within a generation, at best, no one will remember me.

And what’s wrong with that? I won’t know anyway.

So, if life is meaningless and nothing matters and we all die in the end, then why not make the most of it? If all I get are (let’s be honest) a good 60 years, then why not spend those around people I like, doing things I like, going places I like?

I’m obviously constrained by not being rich. But I found myself a job that pays well and doesn’t fuck me up too bad. I actually quite like it. I met some of my friends there, and I’m surrounded by smart, driven people, some of whom I actually look up to.

The other 16 hours of the day I spend doing things I find meaning in. Reading good books. Watching good shows. Spending time with my SO. Writing. Having drinks with friends. Lifting heavy things.

By default we have nothing at the start, and nothing again at the end. Why not enjoy the middle? Nothing needs to have any other meaning than “I like it”. Why not spend 3 hours washing the car? I like it. I like those 30 seconds when I’m done and it’s shiny as fuck. Why not spend 16 straight hours playing a new game with a couple of friends? I like it. Why not spend 10h a week in the gym getting way stronger than I’ll ever need to be? I like it.

I call this optimistic nihilism and I find it quite liberating.

What the hell am I reading

I’d rather they have a hand-washing policy that is not only ruthless but also ruthlessly enforced.

This works very very well for me as well.

Make sure every point you make is objectively sustainable and don’t deviate from the truth. People hate having rock-solid bullet-pointed lists describing why they’re idiots chucked at them.

It means she’s not poor.

Sounds like corpo speak for instagram thot.

Já pensaste em samsung? Tenho alguns familiares que usam os samsung A que andam por esses preços e parecem satisfeitos.

Laden or unladen?

(Sorry, I only vaguely remember the sketch)

Not at all, I usually go in knowing what I want to watch.

What’s wrong with being anti-billionaire?

If a dragon were hoarding all the gold in your village and leaving the villagers to get fucked, would you be pro-dragon?

(Yeah it’s a Terry Pratchett novel.)
