Sometimes in Germany you can see rental apartments that don’t include a Kitchen or a Bathroom. You’re expected to move in with your old one or buy a new kitchen & bathroom. So, I think plenty of people own their toilets without owning a house or an apartment.

No, it is trivial to verify it by checking your data usage. We have these AI devices (one of them is called friend) that actually do listen to you the whole time and even they do a terrible job of transcription. That’s when people wear them like pendants.

Now imagine using a phone instead that’s sometimes in the pockets, in the bag or just on the table. Speech recognition errors would be terrible. Even worse when the speech isn’t english. Use recommendation engines on this crap data and it’ll be an advertising disaster!

Does it not depend on hunger for you? I’ll honestly find the frozen pizza from Aldi to be amazing when I’m super hungry.

Apart from that I had really great pizza at an Italian grocery store in Dijon. They’re all the same after a certain point. It was also great somewhere in Amalfi

I have read that domestication of horses was an inflection point for the economics and violence in the bronze age societies. A horse makes raiding distant villages a possibility as a horse can outrun humans. These tribal raids turn into organised warfare to the extent that steppe cultures had one of the first cities to be built with fortifications. And all of this happened only the last 5000 years ago.

The history of violence isn’t as old as it’s claimed to be and it is definitely not innate but something we discovered on the way. I am also not trying to argue that all humans aren’t violent but maybe the steppe people are. You find various examples of guest-host relationships in steppe cultures. Even the word guest and host etymologically traces its roots to Proto Indo European, the language of steppe nomads!
