  • without watching the video - google search is falling apart because there’s a lot of shit content, a lot of bad articles being written.

    and there’s a lot of bad articles being written because there’s a lot of authors that just want to make money from advertising, without actually caring about the content. in other words, it’s advertising’s fault that the quality of content is dropping. and ironically, it’s mostly google’s fault that advertisement on the internet got so big as it is today.











  • Cooking rice is a notoriously hard problem (and for that reason I recommend noodles instead) but my tip is:

    • Don’t (!) do the 2:1 thing where you mix 2 cups of water with 1 cup of rice. Some of the water will boil off and the ratio will be distorted, except if you close your cooking pot, in which case it begins to foam like crazy and give you something to clean up
    • Do just fill a large pot with lots of water and make it boil; then when it boils add the rice and cook a certain time with the pot open. I’ve made the best rice this way.




  • I disagree. Such a thing is not feasible. In 1500, when the printing press was developed, Martin Luther tried to raise all people in the entire population to be priests, because “now that they have books, they can educate themselves”. Obviously, it didn’t work. I think most people just aren’t made for higher knowledge, and we should accept that fact rather than push people through a high-pressure high-stress levels school system.


  • I disagree. There’s a lot of reasons why people don’t have children, including:

    • emotional devastated youth (abandoned by parents, addicted to smartphones, misunderstood by society)
    • people can’t find partners for this reason
    • too much stress from too much work
    • wages are barely keeping up with inflation, and I project they will in fact not keep up in the long term in the US due to missing labor protections and decreasing demand for labor.
    • rising cost of living because politically, nobody really cares about the population.

    edit: sorry i realized i made these points US-specific but you were talking about russia, sorry.
