Reply to Zero Days (2016) - Stuxnet, a piece of self-replicating computer malware that the U.S. and Israel unleashed to destroy a key part of an Iranian nuclear facility, and which ultimately spread beyond its intended target. [01:53:51] by Missing_Trillions

I wish Alex Gibney would keep on making documentaries like this one... His recent stuff has been meh, imo... He's good at making these investigative docus, he should focus on that genre instead of biographies that nobody really cares about I think...

It’s not just the US… Lots of really old people in European countries working under the table or part time jobs just to pay rent/eat food every day… there is pension from the gov, but it usually varies between 500-1300€ depending on the country or the previous career. But it doesn’t matter really, because that’s poverty money anyway.

I’m in Western Europe, at my previous workplace we had 3 old women and 1 old man who were 69, 76, 77 and 81 at the time working with us in the office. They couldn’t afford living with just their pension so they were working. 2 of them passed away during Covid. They worked their whole life for what? Europe is far, far from being the perfect place to live in as Reddit likes to say it is. It’s really not.

Ok my bad, then.

But come on mate... Ireland has pretty much been not concerned by the energy crisis... What do you mean?? Russian gas dependencies in European countries. My country is top 3 of that list... My family lives in 5 different countries in Europe, mainly Northern Europe (Germany, Belgium, The Netherlands and Finland), and one in Italy. My friends are mostly in France and Switzerland. It's crazy everywhere. I know what I'm talking about... It's not "back to business as usual", no, just no.....

It really sounds like you need more perspective

​

>There are people complaining on the sub, yes, but (I feel bad saying this), I know that people tend to only speak of things like this when they're worse off. People complain more often than they do celebrate.

That's a crazy thing to say in times like these... I don't even know where to begin with that... Hopefully you're just young and don't know much about life in general to say stuff like you say, and hopefully you'll reflect on that some more cause that's just crazy

Tell that to my family members who spend between 500-700€ a month on electricity and gas bills alone. Used to be 100-250 max before shit hit the fan. Got plenty of friends living in cities who have difficulties paying bills, too. Personally, I'm lucky enough to be self-sufficient for 90% of my energy needs as I live in the country side with solar and other systems, so I'm not concerned by this BS for the most part.

Even my home town has recently started turning all outside lights (roads, neighbourhoods, highway, stores, shops, public transport stops, malls, etc etc) from midnight until 5AM because of how expensive it still is.

Before the holidays, grocery shops installed glass doors in front of the coolers/freezers to keep the cool air inside, and installed automatic lights that only turn on when you open the door and reach for a produce.

Not sure where you're at, but you're probably not of the Northern part of Europe if you can say all that without lying.

And why did you downvote anyway? Did you even check the sub out? Literally go on that sub and look at all the threads talking about the insane hikes in energy costs... I know it was you so don't even try to say it wasn't lol

Ever watched “Chernobyl” the TV show? You sound like that dude who’s in absolute denial and keeps on saying “You didn’t see the core”.

The margin is closing. You’re just being that dude saying “we’re ok” while looking at the ice melting away a few feet from you. When the ice has become liquid water beneath your feet, you’ll finally say “ok we’re fucked” but that’ll be too late, as your lungs fill with water you’ll probably wish you’d have done something about it earlier when you saw it coming.

They kinda do now tho. Their M chips in their latest computers are now a big reason people go for Apple. More and more pros are buying Apple computers for the sole reason that the M chip in it is more powerful than quite a few PC chips for a lot of tasks. People used to buy MacBooks and iMacs mostly because it was “cool”, beautiful, functional out of the box, etc. Apple was for the most part a hype brand, only the “cool” people had those. They bought into the marketing just so they could be mostly showing off. Now people are starting to buy it for the hardware in those machines, because they’re actually that much better at actual benchmarks etc.
