The real crime here is that you bought Barilla instead of DeCecco.

Porn is everywhere though? I recommend noodlemagazine for free full porn videos. Or are you talking about amateur content? It’s what I sort of miss from Reddit, but then again, most of it was just teasers for their shitty OF.

Often it’s literally the same thing. In Europe there is a code in every product that’ll show you where it’s produced. You’ll often find that the cheap brand comes from the same factory as the expensive brand. They just get different packaging.

Ich tu dir weh, Stein um Stein, Wiener Blut, etc.

All fantastic songs, but I don’t get joy from them anymore unfortunately.

I can look past the mycelial network. I just can’t tolerate some of the characters. And unfortunately they decided to focus on one main character. And that character’s main feature is to cry throughout the entire series, despite being raised by vulcans. Also the pacing of the show is very annoying. It’s high tension drama, all the time.

I watched the whole thing. There were some episodes that kinda gave me hope. Those usually were the ones that weren’t part of the main plot. But the next episode it went back to the same dramatic formula.

Oh, and Tilly. What the hell man? How did she get into Starfleet??

That said, I’m happy people enjoy it! It’s just not for me.

I don’t know, I kinda like the discussions. It’s rarely really toxic, just people having strong opinions. And a lot of it is legit. I kinda like Enterprise, but there’s also a whole bunch of things that are wrong with it. A lot of these discussions end up explaining things about the lore or end up being memes.

it’s real!

You also get videos crammed full with sponsors. One might say that most videos on YouTube are ads themselves. YT Premium does not have Sponsorblock. Alphabet makes money by selling your data and they continue to do so when you pay them. I support a select few creators via Patreon. Fuck Alphabet, they’re not getting a single cent from me.

Hast du ein Handy? Ü

I heavily endorse Martok’s message.

Hmm, now that you mention it, I think it was quite similar in Germany. But I personally don’t know many people who watched these shows. It was still quite a niche thing. But you’re right, they weren’t considered weebs. Probably because the Germans are so unaware of foreign cultures, most don’t even know what that means.

Absolutely. In Germany at least, anime is a very niche thing. Hardly anyone watches it here. I can’t stand anime because of the lazy animation, though I do appreciate the creativity story-wise.

Hell yeah I do. Why wouldn’t I?

I’ve been robbed by the TSA once. Never has anything like that ever happened to me, but on my flight back home to Germany from Tampa via Atlanta those assholes stole some very rare personalized 24oz beer cans that I got as a gift from the managing director of Emsula in Honduras. 2 of the 3 cans went missing. It may not seem like much of a loss but it actually meant something to me. I was fucking pissed. Flying in the USA is a fucking chore too. Shitty quality airports (I’ve seen nicer airports in the Republic Congo), shitty service on planes, bullshit security measures that you can buy your way out of, dumbass TSA officers thinking they’re above the police. It’s honestly a shit show over there.

Use Voyager (formerly known as wefwef). It’s great!

I don’t necessarily mean to live like a nomad or something similar. I mean to cut working hours in half for example and just come to terms with living in a shitty apartment. With more spare time on your hands, you can be outside more, do more sports, pick up hobbies (not all hobbies need to be expensive). Just live a more modest life but put the focus on yourself instead of work. Most people with well paying jobs grow accustomed to the luxury they can afford, which makes it difficult to go back to the level of comfort one used to have when they were students for example. I was happy as a student, I was also dirt poor. But happy!

In Germany it’s starting to get hard to find employees. Our demographic is fucked.

The company I work for offers 35h per week / 30 days of vacation plus 6 additional days that you can either take or transform into money / work from home (if you wish) / paid overtime / paid travel time / good travel compensation / a very, very strong union (IG Metall) / subsidized meals / very good pay (for German standards) etc.

Yet we have a hard time finding people. It’s a bummer but I believe the young people don’t really have anything to work for. Nice housing is scarce and way too expensive, excessive consumption just fuels the climate catastrophe so no point in amassing shit no one really needs. They just want to have some time to themselves and don’t give a shit about leading a comfortable life. And I fully understand them. If it weren’t for my daughter I’d have sold the house and all meaningless shit and lead a healthy life instead of working for some dipshit just to make said dipshit richer.

Cool, thanks for the clarification! I’m still trying to get the hang of the FediVerse. I’m liking it very much so far!

I might be talking bullshit here as I’m also pretty new to this. But I believe an instance is the server (basically like Reddit) where all the communities (Subreddits) are located. These instances can federate with other instances to grow in a decentralized fashion. Every instance can impose site-wide rules (e.g. beehaw disabled the downvote button, I believe, so you can’t downvote anyone in all of the communities that belong to the beehaw instance).

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong!
