I somewhat disagree, 5€ is too low to get a decent wine imo. Buy a wine for 10-15€ and there is no longer any difference from the 500€ one.
The last point however is the key, and I agree wholeheartedly. If you can find one for 5€ then that is good enough
The advantage with democracy is that it is slow and most of the time end up with fairly sensible results. Decisions are often so complex that it is impossible for one person to actually understand it all. A consortium of advisors could fill that role, but they have to be benevolent and trustworthy too. Their decisions have to be based on something, so the advisors need researchers and people gathering intelligence and statistics. Those people also have to be trustworthy.
All these layers have to be with as benevolent as possible. In a well functioning democracy, all layers would feel safe. It is really important to be safe from harm when giving bad news, or telling the dictator/advisors that their idea is really dumb, and would be a waste of resources or have a bad effect.
You could argue that a benevolent dictator would welcome bad news, other arguments. However the difference in power would certainly make it scary anyways.
Succession is another issue, and mental decline. Some people become quite mean in old age.
The closest thing I could envision might work is some sort of semi-democratic technocracy. I still think improving democracy is better though
Ok, thanks. That makes sense

Avoid any youtubers that give advice on specific stocks to buy. All mentioned above are professionals, with different specialities within finance and personal finance.
Also be very skeptical about cryptocurrencies. If you really want to invest in it, then consider a very low allocation. Maybe 1-2% of your net wealth. Most cryptocurrencies and projects are a scam. The youtubers I suggested do not promote crypto, or specific stocks.
I am not a professional, so keep that in mind :)
Do you not like beef? Or was it another reason you wanted to avoid eating it?
Why is this being downvoted? Its an unpopular opinion.
That seems a bit tedious
I haven’t tried cloud sync yet. Relatively new to Heroic
Google Pixel because of GrapheneOS
i also really like Fairphone. In a perfect world the fairphones would have the same or equivalent security chip as the Pixels. I’d really prefer to buy a european smartphone due to privacy and install GrapheneOS.
GrapheneOS is a must for me.
I prefer GOG, due to being being DRM free.
On Linux I just use Heroic Games Launcher to install the GOG games and launch them. Its just as easy as proton on Steam
If ypu haven’t tried it, you should try Heroic Games Launcher. Makes it just as easy to launch GoG games on Linux as Steam games
A VR headset. have only gotten to play it a couple of times. my apartment is a bit too small.
Buuuut, in not too long I am moving to a bigger one. So then I can continue playing Half Life Alyx :D
This sound a bit like depression, but I am no medical professional.
Imagine all the input you get every day both positive and negative. When we are depressed we do a worse job at filtering out the negative.
If this is how you feel all (or most) of the time for a prolonged period, I would consider talking to your doctor. Antidepressants can help a lot. They can take weeks to months to be effective, but they work.
If you are sceptical about medication, it does not hurt to read about it and how they work.
Anyways, I hope things improve for you!

I agree, there are art from AI that are great. It’s just so much AI generated low-effort art.
I have listened to a lot of songs from suno.ai
This one is fantastic https://suno.com/song/5b0ec0ca-6063-4a21-95b9-1433c35a3ded
This one is a true earworm: https://suno.com/song/093e95d7-1cb5-46b5-9342-39bc82621a7b
I also think it can be a fantastic tool to create truly original content as well.
The youtuber “There I ruined it” is a great example. If I have understood his process, he sings the songs himself and change his voice to be like the other artist.
Gave you an upvote. This is an unpopular opinion shared on unpopularopinion.
Personally I find AI art to look like “AI-art” if that makes sense. It has this generic look and feel to it. It might just be that people have to prompt it differently to get something that does not look generic.
In my view it can be art, but it is just other peoples art regurgitated by a machine with lots of filtering (to prevent nudity and other things that art historically often contain)
I think the biggest issue with LLMs / AI is that it is a loophole to use other peoples work and avoid copyright and licenses.
And it can be sorted alphabetically in all software. That’s a pretty big advantage when handling files on a computer
