  • Little common luxuries, lots of nature, lots of silence, freedom from most things. It’s a return to a more ancient, simple way of life.

    For some people this represents extreme comfort and serenity.

    For other people they don’t understand why you’d give up having a warm shower readily available (or similar things) and are annoyed the whole way.

    Have fun finding out what’s yours! :D



  • Ideas are incredibly cheap. It’s absolutely unlikely that no one ever had your idea. It’s even likely that someone had your idea and it failed, and you don’t/can’t even know about it because no one bothered to record the failure.

    Other people have mentioned all kinds of ambitious/proper ways to do this. I’ve got a different view: if you truly think this will work, do a basic version yourself.

    Learn basic blender, design 3D printed parts yourself and let someone print them. Use some app builder and tutorials, or hire a programmer for a very rudimentary prototype work. Buy generic electronics. Just get it working once. Then show it to people, let them use it, ask if they would buy it, preferably let them sign a slip of paper not to talk about this product or compete with it (there are standard NDA/non-compete contract clauses online available) or talk to people you can trust.

    If you do all this and get positive feedback, then you can start doing this properly and get more people on it, like the other commenters mentioned.

    No. Just no. You’re talking about perfectionism basically. Who cares about continuing maintenance? If you get the product out there and working enough to last the 2 years warranty, you’re completely fine. One programmer is perfectly capable of learning the most basic things about the disciplines you mentioned, it doesn’t need to be good, it just needs to do its job mostly.

    You have no clue about the scope of what this guy’s idea is since he gave no info. Maybe it’s so simple not even one programmer would have to work on it for very long.

    Of course, what you say is perfectly possible to be “correct”, but you just have no way of knowing.






  • You’re likely gonna experience racism in some form in any community you go to where you are the minority. People are racist, not people of some specific skin color.

    So your assessment is correct, if you go to a majority black community you’re probably gonna find people racist against white people.

    But when you go to the US, white is still the majority. And if you’re not the majority, you’re mostly still a large part. Statistically, the most racism you’ll experience is everyday racism, where maybe some black people believe you’re an asshole even though you aren’t. Most of the time you’re not going to experience anything.



  • I don’t necessarily think people can be evil.

    I know of some of my abusers that they were abused themselves. They knew what they were doing to me wasn’t right but it gave them feelings of power in a world where they otherwise felt powerless.

    For others, bullying me was a social sport, just something you did to “belong” to a certain group.

    I think what they did was evil, but I don’t think they were evil people. They were normal people with inadequate upbringing put into painful situations that resulted in bullying/abusing me being the only perceived “good” outcome for them. For almost all people who do evil things, this is the case.

    I think we all possess the ability to do evil acts in response to certain stimuli, many are just lucky enough never to receive the set of stimuli that causes them to be evil, so they can allow themselves to think they are different, i.e. “good”, and start labeling other people a certain way, i.e. “evil”.

    Conversely, I also think all the people who do evil acts are also able to do good acts in certain situations.

    What we then call a “good” or an “evil person” is just a person where we perceive a larger share of behaviors attributed to that adjective. But are they evil or good people, is that a quality inherent to them? Or is the environment they grew up in evil or good? Or are humans in general evil or good? Is our perception of the share of each set of behaviors even right?

    I think no one deserves for their whole self to be called evil. I think you can call actions evil, and some people may have a lot of these actions, and they’re worthy of being avoided because of that, but I believe they’re the same kind of person than everyone else, just put into terrible situations. So no, I don’t think people can be evil.





  • For what it’s worth, I would have appreciated as a victim if my bullies seeked me out and truly apologized to me. It would’ve restored a little faith in humanity. I don’t care now anymore, but there was a time.

    Of course, any feeling that the apology was fake or forced would have ruined the whole thing and had the opposite effect.
