Swastikas, okay. Happy merchant, sure. But how is Pepe an alt right symbol now? I read half of an article about it which seems to conclude that it depends on the context the meme is being used in. If it’s by a nazi in their username, it’s a nazi symbol, wow. To me this feels like “serial killers often ate bread for breakfast, so all of Germany is now a dogwhistle for serial killers.”

Today I had my first employee development talk (not because I’ve only been here for two years but because the company didn’t have that concept until half a year ago) and it was very productive I would say. I mean it was scheduled 13:00 to 14:30 and we finished up at 16:45 lol

Neat, what kind of car did you get? I feel your relief at having finally sold the old car. When I had to get rid of mine, I was so happy when someone actually wanted to take it for around 400€ despite the fact that I openly stated it needs non-trivial repairs and needs its audit stamp refreshed.

I don’t think “Y’all” would be problematic. But I also offer “You peeps”, I enjoy that one more in day to day conversation.

I just looked them up. They look very precious and I do hope with this breakthrough, they’ll be able to grow the population quicker and with fewer issues.

It’s crazy to think that they were down to presumed extinction twice.

Watched this video earlier today and I definitely hope German city planners in my area don’t embrace this required car-centric approach to infrastructure more than they did for cities like Munich .

That sounds like a solid plan! By the looks of it, you already checked the requirements to actually get into the Netherlands and live there for more than just a couple of months.

I can’t imagine how bad it must be for you to basically have to uproot your entire life, but I wish you the best of luck (wherever you actually have to rely on luck, like processing times for documents). It’s great to know that you do already have a couple of people in Europe at least adjacent to where you plan to go.

And sure! I do live in Bavaria, so it’s not the closest distance, but I’m certain we could eventually organise a meetup at some point.

Hey there, Millie, if your path crosses (or ends in) Germany, I’d be happy to give you a warm welcome. While I can’t just drive across the country, I can try my best to help you with the language, bureaucratical processes and any culture shock you may or may not get.

Of course, this offer also stands for anyone else in a similar boat!

Learned? Funnily enough, yesterday. But I first saw it probably late kindergarden or at the latest in early primary school, in the second half of the 90s.

I fully understand someone thinking x game deserves to be there instead of y but I think this is a great list that spans most genres and serves as a wonderful stepping stone for exploration within gaming.

If I give this list to someone who doesn’t know yet, what kind of games they like, this list will show them great games from all major “eras” and all kinds of dev studio sizes/budgets. And once they have played, say, KotoR 2 (since it’s in the same list that recommends new and good games like Baldur’s Gate 3, they are more likely to check out other old but great games like Gothic 1 and 2 (and, of course, KotoR 1).

I would count Sifu as being pretty linear and very good. Probably the best martial arts fantasy-ish game out there that’s single-player (for that but multiplayer take Absolver, the same devs’ first game)

After 10 or so minutes of inactivity my monitor shuts down (well, screen black, not actually pushing the power button on the monitor).

When I know I’ll leave for half an hour or more (and I’m not downloading something big), I hit the physical sleep button on my keyboard. Iunno, not needing to go through a couple clicks on the start menu and instead just pressing two buttons makes me more likely to use it.

Lastly, when I’ll be gone for multiple hours (sleeping, working, etc.) and I don’t have a huge or particularly slow download, I shut it off. But I never turn off my multi plug rectangle, unless we got a heavy thunderstorm.

Was out at a bar with my gf and another girl friend. Some random guy put his arm across my shoulder from behind and pulled up into my view, went “Heyyy prett- whoawhoa” cue nervous/awkward laugh. I guess, to him, I was the prettiest of the three girls until he realised there were only two girls and a guy hah

Thank you for the explanation and sorry that I got around to reading and relying to it half a month late. With how much Trump loves to insult personhoods, I’m surprised the Identity Attack seems to only be around 1,5% of the campaigns. Then again, the campaigns are written by someone who isn’t Trump😅

What is that even supposed to imply? Is it supposed to mean “You’re doing something right, if they try to assassinate you”? Well, have they heard about a certainly popular assassination target of the 20th century, Mustache Man? On the other hand, just because someone doesn’t actively try to kill you, doesn’t mean you’re not important. Look at Merkel, for example. Once, a pretty controversial person to have become chancellor and quite important, too.

I absolutely hate it. I understand the reasoning that banning the party would likely result in them just doing their stuff underground in an organization and place that you don’t yet have infiltrated with spies, but holy fuck when will something fundamental happen to the AFD? We’re dangerously close to repeating history.

And I don’t think I can trust on the whole “defensible democracy” thing anymore…

I wonder what they think of as high-end GPUs, though. I’ve been using a GTX 1060 to run my games for around two or three years and am mostly happy with performance vs quality. Would a GTX 1060 today be out of AMD’s scope already or are we talking rivaling Nvidia’s 40xx series today?

Edit: If the video answers that, I apologise. I’m at work and can’t watch it immediately

A pretty good change for how I use Family Sharing. The only detriments seem to be the issue of the game owner being banned for violations of other family members and the 1 year cooldown between leaving and joining a family. Both should be manageable issues, though, if you’re at the point of trusting someone enough to log into their machine with your credentials.

From reading this thread so far, there seem to be good arguments for mandatory voting in a similar fashion and infrastructure as it currently is set up in Australia.

I still think compulsory voting isn’t the best way, though. Instead, the focus should be on getting people interested in politics in the first place. With the big three or four parties in my country, I (and many others my age) feel like voting for them is useless, even if you agree with their campaign promises, because at most 5% of those promises will even be partly realised. Holding politicians accountable and punishing them appropriately for acting very far from their campaign promises should be established, otherwise the mental consensus will stay “Why vote for anyone, if they just do something entirely different anyway?”

Oh, okay, I would like to apologise then for my harsh comment. I do agree that the longer I am with my gf and my women friends in general, the more I learn how fucked up life can be for women and that (sometimes) being unable to exist for a couple days every month is already on the lighter end of it because that’s at least something you can “just suck up”.
