    Do You Trust Strangers?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    You are making straw-man arguments. Just because bruteness is not virtuous, does not make cowardice preferable. I abhor both. And I do not prefer cowardice over bruteness. Down in the same Wikipedia article, there is a different set of data from different resources. And I highly doubt the...

    Do You Trust Strangers?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I personally do not believe that the woman in my story does this for "being polite". Utter nonsense. It is the real politeness, if you can stand up for the right things. (which is the real definition of bravery) I think this should be self-evident for anyone. Funny fact, btw: Japan, Finland...

    Do You Trust Strangers?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Japanese of Finnish: Cowardice is cowardice to me. Judgment exists because some things are virtuous and some things are not. This is clearly not virtuous. Even before that. If you punish every vehicle not doing that, you have to punish 90% of the drivers in Turkey. Those drivers will...

    Do You Trust Strangers?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I love this in German-speaking countries as well. I think this has to do a lot with correct punishment / rewarding structures. I know people, who had to repeat their German driving license exam 8 times, because they forgot to look over their shoulders for bike riders. I also failed it once...

    Do You Trust Strangers?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I had a Finnish friend that told me a story about Finland. There is this old woman that goes to IKEA, collects like 30-40 items to buy and then leaves her shopping cart for 30 seconds to pick something up. When she comes back, she sees that her cart has been taken away by someone else, by...

    Getting married young was the best decision ive ever made

    HOT! ASSERTION MINDSET 
    "Being serious tho", this has nothing to do with lost Christian values or so. Use your brains.

    Getting married young was the best decision ive ever made

    HOT! ASSERTION MINDSET 
    Yea, the recent ongoings in Catholic church, the Israel conflict and the centuries old shit show in Islamic world shows very nicely, how nice it was to lose Christian, Jewish and Islamic values. Thank you, I will stay adamantly as an atheist. Stop mixing religion with ethics to justify...

    Getting married young was the best decision ive ever made

    HOT! ASSERTION MINDSET 
    Very big "contingent". Finding physical & sexual attraction, a consistent and principled character as well as no previous baggages from past (children from previous relationships) in one person has not been possible for me yet in 37 years. At the end, all of this dating shit is about being...

    Should I join this Amazon FBA coaching for €7,500? Need honest opinions.

    QUESTION 
    No, dont do it. Instead invest it in your experience, you will at least get some of your money back (even if you make a loss) and you will learn stuff on the way. There is no coaching that costs 7000 dollars for people in your situation. It sounds like a ripoff.

    Work Life Balance - The mind of an unhappy slave

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    People drive meaning from different sources in life. Some do it from 18 hours workdays, and be proud. Some have 7 kids and be full-time parents. Some are like Elon Musk, have 14 kids from different women, build ventures and have 0 minutes to spend with them indeed. Some just want to survive...

    For those that are making money with AI, what tools are you using?

    - AI - 
    Where should I begin? Personal: - All texts and reports get corrected with Gemini, GPT or DeepL. - I use NotebookLM for expert opinions: I ground it with Youtube videos of a guru in a given field (say for example MJ DeMarco in entrepreneurship or Andrew Huberman in sleep/body/fitness) and then...

    I am located in both CH and DE, but gonna give up DE soon. The labor markets are fluid, so it does not really matter. I am single and do not have a family, neither do I plan to start one. My parents live outside of Europe and I do not have siblings. I am in a niche, yes. (railway) But my...

    Mech. engineer here, with very good track record in railway industry. I quit my job at May 2024, had like 5 years expenses saved aside and I went to a trip to Asia, a bit burnt out. Came back in Nov. 2024 looking for a job. I was thinking, it would be a piece of cake. 2 months later, Trump...

    People dont care about strangers...

    MINDSET RANT 
    Two nuggets of thought, I would pass along: 1. The world does not care about you, until you give it a reason to care. Queen Elizabeth was the sovereign of the Commonwealth for more than 75 years. She died a few years ago. Who remembers her really? If the world doesn't even remember...

    Why SF rental properties are bad investments, and why Fastlane is the better alternative

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    I have one rental property that pays me 250€/month after all is calculated. I also pay 200€ of my own debt on top of this. I have a manager for repairs and calculation of the expenses for the tenant. All I did for this property is 3-4 hours of income tax study initially and I have been...

    What is your Decisional Fallout Condition (DEFCON)?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I have scored 68. Biggest deficits are losing touch with wild dreams and social media consumption (especially youtube). Thanks for the test @MJ DeMarco , very straightforward. Fundamental things we always forget. Good thing that I have recently given up caffeine and doing a hell lot of exercise.
