  • I’m so glad I’m not short. Short guys just get shit on so much. Been at parties where someone just out of nowhere says “You’d be hot if you wasn’t short”. Like imagine that for anything else “you’d be hot if you wasn’t black”. “You’d be hot if you wasn’t in a wheelchair” just getting shit on for genetics.

    Same girls also cry murder if somebody says something about a fat girl, which is in their control.






  • You’re assuming people have those things.

    Some people genuinely do not care about anyone but the set and maybe their family. They aren’t going to put care and effort into the community.

    Your stats are wrong. Its not about the amount of people that can fill a particular role. Its about the amount of people what would be willing to do that.

    Just because what .1% of Germans are volunteer fighter fighters. That doesnt mean 80% of everything can be done by volunteers all it shows is less than 1% of the population will volunteer


  • This is not everyone. These people are great but rare.

    If there was a world full of people like this, life would be different but it isn’t. Most people suck.

    Now in a time when there was homogeneous society and there was about 150 people you interacted people could be kept a lot more in check. But today no way.

    Just today for example I called some guy scum and threw a plastic bag in his face because he took his dog to the beach and wouldn’t pick up his shit. I highly doubt that guy would do 40 hours of work for someone else if he didn’t have to. I had actually talked to him before that and he seemed positively pleasant.







  • You don’t minimise the risk of car death because you are way better putting in measures to reduce your risk of dying in a car crash than dying in some weird grid failure that happens once in a generation.

    It’s about understanding risk. You can’t just say avoiding any risk for anything all the time is good.

    You just chose a hill to die on. That a 1 in a million chance whatever the cost is worth it.

    But moving closer to work, a WFH job, cycling, only getting things delivered to you house, taking the bus, walking. No that’s too much you have a seatbelt.

    Yea well I have a blanket and a grid that has never gone for an extended period in my lifetime. I’ll be fine. I have been in more car crashes as an adult than I have been in blackouts. Car avoid is a much better exercise in spending money than grid back up.

    Hell for grid back up a standalone batter or generator to run the fridge is a better spending of money. Or an electric car.

    But again it’s your hill to die on so feel free.


  • I have literally never even heard of my grid going down for 24hrs and I’m not talking constraint to my lifetime. To think it happens every 2 years is outstanding.

    You also do not get any additional benefits. The cost is being able to run off grid doesn’t get to any additional benefits like being sell back to the grid. Obviously you need to pay for batteries and stuff beforehand and the logical reason for buying batteries stands. But to upgrade your system to an event that has literally never happened before seems silly.

    Spain just royally fucked up on a grid level and not something that is likely to occur again. They need to spend more on their grid which they are.
