Im literally 6‘5 and in finance and it’s not like I’m swimming in matches. If I want I can get them but the experience still sucks. The only people I know who enjoy using them are very good looking, going for casual sex and have the vibe to go with it

This is so spiritually American, unimaginable to see this posted by a European. Brain poisoned by money

To be a bit more precise: usually they would still settle unless one party entered the wrong price, amount or settle date which happened annoyingly often because both sides would sent the electronic instructions hoping for them to match.
Assuming 1 million USD of wealth and log utility you would need a minimum edge of 2.5 basis points or 0.500025 of winning to take this bet. These people are completely stupid.
An MIT professor offered his class a coin flip: win $125 or lose $100. Most students said no. Then he proved refusing was the smart move, and it explains why you're bad with money.
The bet is a steal on paper. Flip a coin, win $125 or lose $100. Do the math and you come out $12.50 ahead on average. It's what economists call a more than fair bet. Most of the room still turned it down.
They weren't being dumb. They were being human.
Here's the idea underneath it. You don't actually care about dollars, you care about how much each dollar changes your life. And the dollars you already have are worth more to you than the ones you might win. So losing $100 stings harder than winning $125 feels good.
Then he pushed it further. He told the class he'd force them into that winning bet unless they paid to walk away. How much would they pay? The answer, with their standard math, was $43. People will hand over almost half their money to dodge a bet that's tilted in their favor.
That's not weakness. That's a law of how the mind values risk, and it has a name: risk aversion.
And it's the whole reason insurance exists. Being uninsured is just this coin flip in disguise. You quietly pay to never be the person who gets wiped out, even when the math says the odds are on your side.
Once you see it, you notice it everywhere. Every warranty, every premium, every bet you've refused. You weren't being irrational. You were pricing the fear.
Every now and then I call leftist economists life hating communists as an intentional exaggeration and joke but a surprising amount of time it turns out to have been spot on
The key finding of the report is that energy transition alone will not suffice.
We need to combine it with "sufficiency" to stay within 2 degrees. This includes labour hour reductions, growth caps in rich countries, less material consumption, and changes in food habits.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This report uses a ~4.8°C baseline. In May 2026, the U.N. climate panel officially retired this scenario (RCP8.5) as "implausible." Updated projection: ~3.5°C. Sources: NYT & Washington Post, May 2026.

This virtue signaling is ridiculous, 22 year old women don’t look like children to 26 year olds
Got charged 71€ for one call I accidentally had through my phone on vacation. Actually insane. Imagine you’re on minimum wage and this is a days work after taxes.
Very revealing that the only proper way to end a wedding is listed last here.
The NYT ran a special wedding planning section, and this quiz on preferences seems to omit one notable, traditional option.
ALT 10 How do you want to end the night? A Eat cheeseburgers, collapse into bed and call our families. B Invite friends back to our house for an after-party. C Storm the local bar in our wedding finery and order rounds of shots. D Jump in the ocean fully clothed. E Stay up till dawn dancing the night away.
This comment is even more revealing, Americans don’t just end their weddings early, they start them late too - you should meet before noon. teapaw.org/leahlibresco/status/20…
This girl doesn’t look French and isn’t that beautiful. Go to a diving island in Thailand and see beauty and joie de vivre you’ve never witnessed before or will again

They put the lights on just as I started dancing with a hot girl. Sabotaged at every step. When can a sensitive young man catch a break?
I like how in every single airline safety video the passengers are smiling like drugged cattle to the slaughter. Really adds a nice touch to the experience of being cooped up
