Ah come on, how dumb can a person be? Even if it was purely american and they picked the dumbest of the dumb, this’d be too dumb.

Sure, but what you described as “wasn’t so.bad” is just the usual enshittification of everything. Lure people in for “free” until market saturation is as planned, then make them pay or loose.
Also yeah sure, you got lucky, but I bet that tinder is made to loose. If everyone would just find someone, noone would pay 😁
But that’s survivorship bias. You don’t hate tinder because you were lucky to profit from it.
Anyhow, congrats on not having to use it anymore 😉

OK that’s a lot cheaper. Admittedly I took 1st class though (as I wouldn’t go 2nd), but 2nd class would be roughly half of it. Which is still around 350. And even if I’d go alone, by car would be half as costly. Not factoring in cost of ownership of course. Which is immense here too.
Yes German trains suck hard, but even if they had Japanese precision and would just cost 1 buck from wherever to wherever else, I would prefer the car:
I can get precisely from a to b. While a train gets me from major city station to another major city station, if lucky without changing trains in between. Then I’d need to go find a bus station or tram somewhere near there and go stand in an overcrowded horribly stinky bus/tram full of people. Or take a taxi and pay ultra premium to have to endure a chatty driver. I’m not a people-person 😁
Also, if you’d go Amsterdam Vienna for 115, that’d still he 230 for two people and 460 if you wanna go back home some day. And then you have to pay for local transit too. A car would have neglectable additional costs for added passengers and local transit.

As I love driving, I didn’t include the car cost. It’s a hobby.
Just checked, one way trip from my city to a another city 300km afar: €180,-, so 360,- if wifey is coming with. And 720 if we want to go back home again. Doesn’t include getting to and from the station and also not getting around at the destination. Plus having to change trains somewhere along the track. So it’s neither relaxing nor will it be on time.
While with a car, we just drive there, listen to music, are comfortable in the temperature WE choose, don’t have people around us. And if we see something cool along the way, we stop.
So, where is an advantage of using trains? I fail to see it.

I’m neither the one nor the other.
And the last time I used the aforementioned here it was a horrible nightmare of never being on schedule and costing a lot more than just driving myself. Even if I would take the “fun” car.
- Comment on [meme] choochoo 3 days ago:
Meh. I hate trains, busses and trams. Always full of people… I would not give up a car for that, and I only drive like 3000km a year split over two cars.

Pose with a bloody Axe in front of a Maserati or so. Does wonders 😁
- Comment on dating 3 days ago:
I feel so sorry for generations having to use those stinky fucking pieces of shit predatory apps, designed to keep the majority of men single AND paying.
Also the method of “dating” there sucks so much, unless you’re just there for a quick fuck.
Not saying it was easier back then without those apps. Probably wasn’t.

Oh man…why do people have to be so damn oblivious…
- Comment on What a great idea 3 days ago:
I despise people with no manners to keep their distance. Here, people come so close to you, it would be classified as sex if we were naked.
And where there’s shadow, there’s also light. And the forced distancing was a great thing.
- Comment on What a great idea 3 days ago:
Oh yes. It was great. People forced into distance. It’s all forgotten now.

Cut short? How short? Why? Fuck.
I did enjoy s1 by an unexpectedly large amount, especially due to the cpt pike.

Ahhh the joy of never having had kids, all money and time just for me and my wife. And relaxing all day long wherever we want 😁
- Comment on Rockstar still hasn’t dropped a solid explanation for cutting loose 30+ GTA 6 devs. 1 week ago:
Who cares? Because in the end you all will most likely buy it anyway. No matter how shitty it will be, it will sell millions and then micro transactions.
Those 5 or 6 people who actually try to vote with their wallet have long become absolutely irrelevant. And the raised base price of those AAA games does the rest.

I searched for many exhausting hours there, and still no cute hamster found. It slowly dawns on me I may have been fooled. Gonna investigate one last time 🤔
- Comment on Games then vs now 1 week ago:
I didn’t say it was not a good comic. It is indeed clever. But besides the multiplayer (And hence being online) and the achievo, I only see difficulty-related things.
- Comment on Games then vs now 2 weeks ago:
Yeah what’s wrong with games being easier (where u can mostly hide all extra help)?
I grew up with super hard games that took months to complete and it was OK. We didn’t know better and there only was one game every some months. Now there are 500 new games every day and I’ve grown out of competition seeking. Beside other modern shit like micro transactions and such, I really am fine with extra hints in games.
For all those who love artificial difficulty there are tons of souls like, which are hard for the sake of being hard.

Oh never heard of that one, will give it a shot. I actually did enjoy Mandalorian too (might’ve been grand if i had been a sw-fan), so…why not :)
- Comment on The Best-Selling Video Games Since 2020 2 weeks ago:
Screw a bad launch as long as the Dev delivers in the end and not just pisses off. And they did. It’s one of the greatest games of all times. And I’m gaming daily since pong and pacman.
There are tons of shitty releases that stay shitty but offer micro transactions and 2646 dlcs. CP has one add-on that is also fantastic.
Being an early adopter sucks in this industry. That’s why I waited over a year to play it and had not one single issue in 3 playthroughs.
- Comment on The Best-Selling Video Games Since 2020 2 weeks ago:
It’s probably “everyone in school is playing it, so I have too”. Yet only 5 people actually like it 😁
Must be…
- Comment on The Best-Selling Video Games Since 2020 2 weeks ago:
It’s really simple: don’t buy it but pirate it and enjoy it anyway. As the game itself is pretty solid for what it is, just works and does not sell addons and has no mtx-shop, which really baffled me.
I don’t like her stupid ass and can’t stand her silly propaganda. I don’t even like harry Potter at all, yet still enjoyed my time in the game. Like i highly dislike star wars, yet cherished the Kotor games very much.
I usually strip the art from the artist. And in those cases I won’t purchase but download. Me not playing it does absolutely nothing, but me not buying it does a microscopic tiny fraction.
- Comment on wisdom 2 weeks ago:
Totally bonkers, yes. But chill! It all will relax in the near future and go down to just 200% more expensive than before. And then stay there. And we will be happy-ish.
- Comment on wisdom 2 weeks ago:
Oh yeah lucky! I evened out fate, as I waited to finally buy my GPU at the absolute peak for an insanely outrageous price only to see it fall day by day since then.
So, I’m kinda at zero (dis-)advantage now 😁
- Comment on wisdom 2 weeks ago:
Recently upgraded my servers. 256GB ddr5 each. Was 1600 moneyz altogether. Now, not half a year later, the exact same ram is 6400 now.
I bought twice the amount by accident and sent half of it back…for which I now bit my left nut off…could’ve been a free bunch of gaming PCs.

- Comment on Daily Affirmation 2 weeks ago:
I have the time to do this and it surely couldn’t hurt OP more than others did. And it made an intellectually superior being, like you, have fun. Well worth my time 😁
- Comment on Daily Affirmation 2 weeks ago:
Everyone with exceptions. Add people who are toxic to others to that exceptions. Or try to flood them with love in hope to cure their toxicity. Your choice.
And surely it’s not just black and white but gradual. You might be mildly toxic due to other toxic people and just haven’t reflected enough yet. Or you might be a cesspool of hate and poison, way beyond the point of possible repair.
I surely can’t fit all this into a simple formula. It’s a general guideline. And if it’s shit to you then just ignore and make up your own 😊
- Comment on Daily Affirmation 2 weeks ago:
“I’m 12 and this is deep” would be a nice subreddit for this crap bordering incel-dogma.
Sorry, but everyone (except pedos, murderers and the likes) deserves to be loved. There is no international norm nor measure of love-worthyness. And it surely wouldn’t be defined by your face, your income, your schlongsize, your height or your whatever.
Just because there are legions of ugly (inside) people who define your worth based solely on above mentioned criteria, doesn’t mean there aren’t solid people out there who don’t. It just gets tiresome, sorting out the bad raisins. And if you’re absolutely adamant that you’re ugly inside too (which is probably just the work of others): be the change you want to see in this world, or be a pussy and give up.
Stop frequenting sites/people who pamper your already skewed worldview and drag you deeper into THEIR void…avoid toxic people by all means. No matter who they are.
