  Surely that was precisely what Viktor Shklovsky had in mind when he coined the term ostranenie. 🤡📯🥪🤡

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This comes up a lot and I wish I could see some real life examples, because it’s not something I see a lot. So maybe it’s a cultural/perception issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone else from Europe feels the same while browsing the "All" feed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh boy, wait until they find out about the World Series of anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The curse of ‘Disco Elysium’, the greatest RPG ever made⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That correction makes you sound like a pedomorphic binoclard. 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG NSFW Giveaway⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah what’s up with those lately? I’ve noticed them taking longer and longer to solve as well as being more difficult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨outbreak⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s a reference to the Project Zomboid game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I run 1440p capped at 75fps and cannot see a noticeable improvement with higher resolutions or framerates (my hardware is capable and I’ve tried).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Old Man Guide to Grooming⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mine, too, and when he doesn’t I ask him to do it. Literally shaves ten years off my face.

  That’s why I stopped watching him in 2017.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Waxing quite poetic at times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some reasons, not all reasons.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Our post office was closed for the entire day on Tuesday. No reasons given. Normally, about three to four people work there.

  One customer scribbled something about Deutsche Post’s disdain for its customers on the notice. But I’m afraid we are going to have to get used to this kind of thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oatmeal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Found the Peruvian. 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guys on dating sites be like:⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s because we get unmatched most of the time if we don’t steer the conversation this way. Then again, maybe most men who try this approach get unmatched as well; I’ve only ever tried writing friendly, interested messages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  18 or 3, for summer and winter respectively.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Converting numbers is easy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And why wouldn’t one just use the =COLUMN() formula to determine the column number if necessary?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best way to drink coke?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mr. Schubert? Is this you?

  My first department head during my apprenticeship had a mug like that for his Coke Light. Takes me back a quarter of a century. Damn, I’m getting old.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Too many non-working holidays in America.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Almost!

  The economy is not made for living beings.

  Life exists, and there is no will nor force that can make it compatible with “the economy”. Certainly not in all the ways that its deranged acolytes are calling for.

  But the other way around? Let’s give it an honest try, shall we?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the fuck you⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Only if you do your part.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨W H Y⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And lots of straight up Latin, yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨W H Y⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course you realize that English is a Germanic language? Therefore, it is you who have strayed from the proper words. 😉

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨minor tomfoolery 🛻💨🎶⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fun!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Great “use” of quotation “marks”!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anna-mazing pun⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people are Anna-Maniacs, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gave him an offer, then took it away. Thanks PayPal.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Anything else would be communism since it would infringe on the company’s freedom to do with its human resources whatever the hell it pleases. Therefore, death cultists across the United States will adamantly oppose worker’s rights until their final breath.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Onion be onioning again⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Floaters greatly lessen my enjoyment of hot tubs as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cities Skylines 2, Kerbal Space 2, Planet Coaster 2, Frostpunk 2... What Went Wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would be inclined to agree with you, except that the simulation is one of the weakest parts of the second game.

  But also part one did not have the same ludicrous number of game-breaking bugs on release.

  CS2 has gotten better for sure, and will keep doing so over time, but I’ve given up on wanting to buy it because it seems fundamentally worse than its predecessor.

  If they ever add DLCs for true simulation of the economy and for showing fire, police, and ambulance crews at work as well as re-adding bicyclists I might reconsider.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will step on you and spill your food, my small friend⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Almost Looks like a Page out of the Constitution (or pretty much Any Text from that era).

  Perhaps they’re harkening to that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So true⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, Frikandel then? Sorry, I was thinking about Austria, where Bosna is a similar snack. But yeah, swamp German should have tipped me off. 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So true⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bosna?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose a number, 1-5!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  #1 looks like it’s for kids.

  #3 & #4 aren’t dry-fined enough.

  A cross between #2 (weird end) & #5 (weird tip) would be perfect. In fact, I think mine at home is like that (on vacation right now so can’t check).
