You mean like PTSD? Something that is literally a result of your environment?

Malls in Berlin and Hamburg are also pretty crowded, fwiw

And everybody in the chain can even justify their improved efficiency! It‘s capitalism endgoal. A massive Goldberg machine, where each piece can be optimized, but overall does produce close to no valu…

LLM is really an anti human technology. The incentives that creates are terrible for society

What does that have to do with 3d printing? And are you anti-3d print? That’s a position I’ve never seen, mind sharing a bit more details?

But what part of that has anything to do with free speech? What is the expression that is restricted?
comment
I don’t know. I would move the restriction on the distribution more than the recording itself. Though I’m happy I didn’t move to the US when I had the opportunity, the German privacy laws are closer t…

Maybe to you, I personally find both the average man and woman attractive. Women spend more time taking care of their bodies though, given societal pressures
