Anon meets up with a girl
  • That guy definitely does better on the one night stands.

    But the real mistake "nice guys" make is they are too picky and choose the "right one" then focus on her. The real trick is if a girl isn't interested in you immediately lose interest and find someone else. If you are properly in the friendzone 9/10 that girl will then be pissed off with you because even though she didn't want, you someone else did.

  • Anon meets up with a girl
  • There is being friends with a hot girl but then there is being passed over because you aren't a dick.

    Luckily it wasn't me but I heard some girl say "I think your hot but you're just too nice"

    Like what the fuck haha. I know they didn't want a relationship either and she fucked someone else like a day later. Talked to others and asked why they passed over some boy for another and it's not attraction it's that they aren't dickheads.

    It's a hill I'll die on some girls definitely need that.

  • Who do you know that took a path you didn't expect?
  • A lot of people that want to travel can't handle the hard stuff. It seems more about how you deal with that than how you deal with the good stuff.

    Same with careers. Lot of people chase the good stuff then realise all the bad shit makes it terrible. I also noticed a few women who really want to be high in their career to stick it to the man. They either really sexist people or they find out that no one actually cares and that all the guys that have made it to the top worked really hard and put a lot of hours in. Suddenly they realise that what they will have to do too and they completely lose interest.

    Being a house wife has a lot of perks and limited downsides, if you don't mind the downsides it's really really appealing.

  • How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!
  • Lack of cultural integration, homophobia, sexism, racism, religion, lack of local training and development, lack of capital investment, high housing costs, poor housing quality, wage suppression, increasing density of the country, crime, making places less desirable and more crime ridden.

    But no one ever wants to talk about anything that isn't short term averages.

    I haven't got an issue with immigration as a concept or necessarily as an average.

    But there is a reason no one complains about first, second, third generation Australians coming to their country not learning the language, not integrating, committing crimes and no treating women right. A lot of people on the left live in outright denial about immigration.

    Sure keep the upper class happy by keeping wages down and house prices high. Only costs you money, safety and community.

  • How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?!
  • I guess this just goes to show what everyone is saying.

    The left is shooting themselves in the foot. People care about immigration and the left won't solve it. So they lose power, that's democracy in action.

    If the left want wants they need to listen to the concerns of the people.

  • In 4 years, US power grid increased battery storage to the equivalent of 20 nuclear reactors | The Optimist Daily
  • I don't think anyone really should have a problem with nuclear being built.

    Just as long as the government doesn't have to pay for the construction, or for running costs including subsidising electricity or for the clean up costs. If a company wants to go ahead and pay for it I say let them.

    They wouldn't because it would be financially stupid. But I wouldn't be against it.

  • Aptera completes low-speed drive in its first production-intent solar electric vehicle
  • I was thinking about the US lately. Can't remember why exactly maybe some friends popped up on my Facebook.

    But I decided it actually wouldn't be that bad of a place to live. If it wasn't for the toxic work culture.

    If they worked normal hours and had 20+ holidays it would be alright. Other shit annoy me and you would have to make sure you live in the nice areas but I could live there and enjoy it. But the work culture is an absolute no go. Wish they were like the Aussie. Show up do hard day of work fuck off for some beers. If the surfs good call in sick and end up seeing your boss in the line up. Work hard for a few months then decide fuck it and go to Bali for a weekend accidentally stay there for two months then decide you need to go back to work because travelling is too much effort walk into a job 1 week after landing home.

    The UK’s journey to a coal power phase-out. The UK’s era of coal-free power begins on the 1st October 2024

    ember-climate.org The UK’s journey to a coal power phase-out

    The UK’s era of coal-free power begins on the 1st October 2024, after a rapid 12-year decline which has seen power sector emissions plummet by three quarters.

    The UK’s journey to a coal power phase-out

    "The UK’s era of coal-free power begins on the 1st October 2024, following a rapid decline over the last 12 years which has seen power sector emissions plummet by three quarters."

    "This report provides an overview of the UK coal power phase-out, looking at changes in electricity generation since 2012 when coal began to rapidly decline. It provides context on how phase-out was achieved through a mix of initiatives and policy frameworks, and considers how this can inform the next chapter of UK power sector decarbonisation."

    "Coal power provided almost 40% of UK generation in 2012, shrinking to 2% by 2019, and finally falling to zero by October 2024. In 2012, coal generated 143 TWh of electricity, equivalent to Sweden’s total power demand in 2023."

    Waymo eyes S.F. robotaxi expansion, personal vehicles after first-year ‘success’

    "the Alphabet-owned company has been allowed to deploy an unlimited number of robotaxis for paid driverless rides in the city [San Francisco] at all hours. In March, state regulators allowed the company to expand its commercial ride-hailing to 22 Peninsula cities.

    Now, Waymo officials are declaring victory after a year of commercial driverless service without any serious incidents and say it gives them confidence to speed up their robotaxi expansion.

    David Margines, Waymo’s director of product management, said in an interview that the company’s one-year track record in San Francisco “is a validation” that its robotaxis can “drive safely” and “coexist in the communities that we want to operate in.”

    “Looking back over the year, I’m thrilled to say that it’s been a big success,” he said."

    Men, how do you deal with the misandry online. Does it affect you mentally?

    Seen this on reddit and thought it was an interesting question that largely is not talked about.

    It is largely an issue that gets sidelined and hidden because people don't want to talk about it or accept that it exists. Hopefully this gets some traction to break that marginalisation.

    Review says puberty blocker curb has not led to suicide rise

    "There is no evidence of a large rise in suicides in young patients attending a gender identity clinic in London, an independent review has found."

    "Prof Appleby's review concludes "the data do not support the claim".

    And he added that the way the issue had been discussed on social media was "insensitive, distressing and dangerous".

    "A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said decisions on children's healthcare must follow the evidence at all times."

    How Quantum Dots Could Change the Future of Solar

    "Quantum dot technology has been in TVs for years, so why isn’t it already in solar panels? Well, there are a few challenges. If we can engineer around these challenges, then these little devices could have a BIG impact - breaking the limits of our current solar panels, and ushering in a new and radically more efficient age of solar energy."
