  • Until you realize your life is in fucking danger there. Nearly every summer, in Greece, we are dealing with wildfires.

    Last year, there was a fire in Rhodes during September. People were jumping in the sea to save their life. The response of the government was to provide vouchers to tourists from foreign countries, so that they will visit again next year.

    The government gave no shit to Greek people, and I don’t really think people from other countries dared to come again.

    Besides the issues with emergency services, there are also pricing problems. I only know about Greece and Turkey. In tourist areas of those countries, all prices are inexcusably high.








  • Of course there is no public evidence. It’s just a very probable speculation that governments want to control the internet.

    Back in the days of newspapers/radio/tv, governments had control as they could easily go after news outlets.

    However, with internet, they lost this power. They have been trying hard to regain the power of controlling information. The latest success was masking moderation as child protection.






  • For the lazy, here is the summarization of my local AI:

    You’d like to have a powerful ability: being able to ask the universe any question in modern English at any time, without limitations or rituals, and receive an answer that’s:

    1. Understandable by your current self (no significant changes to physical or mental stability)
    2. Delivered within 3600 seconds (an hour) of asking
    3. Reformatted if necessary to protect your stability
    4. Includes explanations for unknowable questions
    5. Avoids circular logic
    6. Doesn’t require an unreasonable sacrifice (if a sacrifice is needed, you’ll be informed)
    7. Allows transfer of answers to another individual, as long as they can understand the answer and meet the previous conditions.

    In essence, you want to have direct access to all knowledge in the universe, without any negative consequences or sacrifices that might harm your well-being or stability.
