I don’t speak Italian, is that for 1€ for all of them or for each?

Though retro is so popular that lots of modern games still look like the 90s…
- Comment on Time keeps marching forward 1 day ago:
TBF crossovers basically replaced compact-ish cars like the later VW Golf generations or Ford Focus. The added SUV shit is obviously counterproductive, but the length is IMO a pretty good compromise between outside dimensions and adults actually being able to sit somewhat comfortably in the back seats.

VW Golf gen 1-3
- Comment on Time keeps marching forward 1 day ago:
I didn’t talk about trucks. No one picks an SUV over a lorry truck, and there aren’t that many people who genuinely need a pickup truck instead of a van or regular sedan/station wagon types of cars, especially if it’s not for their job.
- Comment on Time keeps marching forward 1 day ago:
Other way around IMO, the additional possibilities don’t way as heavy as the impact on the environment and traffic infrastructure (worse road safety for other traffic participants, especially pedestrians, bicyclists and people in small cars, more spaced used on roads and for parking) and some of those issues affect the drivers, too (much harder to find a parking space when the area does roadside parking). Minivans don’t belong in the conversation IMO because they solve the “I need a big car for all the people and luggage I’m transporting”-issue with much better road safety and better space efficienty.

SUV is more than a type of car, it’s also an aesthetic that’s used even by compact, clearly non-SUV cars.
- Comment on Time keeps marching forward 1 day ago:
I’d prefer this by a mile over the SUV thing that everyone is doing nowadays… at worst, that 20yo Audi design is boring, older Audi models were way more distinctive.

Meh, raw beef tartare is just fine, you just need to season it a little harder than Thüringer Mett.

Did you ever compare it with asian fish sauce (I think Thai fish sauce is most common in the west, but many other east-asian/south-east-asian countries have it)?

Damn, at least the brits only dump their raw sewage in their rivers.
- Comment on Why does most of the world use WhatsApp as their messaging app rather than RCS/SMS? 4 days ago:
Nevermind past tense, my current phone plan still has me pay for SMS separately (IIRC I get 100 free SMS, after that it’s 9 cent/SMS).
- Comment on Why does most of the world use WhatsApp as their messaging app rather than RCS/SMS? 4 days ago:
WhatsApp is free (or was it a one-time purchase?), SMS tends to cost money.
- Comment on Are we at a point in human history where we can get robotic limbs and other things to better our day to day lives? Like a robotic arm where I can pick up 100lbs with one arm and so forth? 5 days ago:
Powered exoskeletons do exist. IDK if most prosthesises are particularly sturdy, the connection to the body (i.e. arm/leg stump) would be a weak point that’s difficult to overcome and most people are probably more interested in fine control.

To expand on this, most stat-raising moves in Pokémon are a complete waste of time.
- Comment on Anon reads Don Quixote 1 week ago:
Well there’s probably not a lot of other well-know people with the last name “(de) Cervantes”. Same in Germany, no one ever uses “Johann Wolfgang von Goethe”, it’s always just “Goethe”.

I’m gonna save people, but I will definitely also rob everyone blind. Hero’s gotta eat!
- Comment on If dogs have such a great nose, why do they sniff other dogs asses? Wouldn't it smell like shit or not a good smell? 1 week ago:
Whether it smells “good” or not, it’s probably very dense in information.

Assuming the numbers are similar in my country, my circle of friends is more unusual than I thought…

valid insanity plea to keep her from jail or getting institutionalized.
A successful insanity plea keeps you from getting institutionalized?
- Comment on Anon is a Witcher 1 week ago:
Thanks, that certainly explains the first half of the post, but what’s going on in the second half? Are there lots of people blaming the husband?
- Comment on Anon is a Witcher 1 week ago:
What are they referring to?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Looks to me like the supposed dad’s joke satirizes the bullshit that rightwingers peddle, while also complaining about the much less outlandish but actually real, and obviously infuriating, issue of teacher having to pay for chalk and other lesson supplies. That’s punching up, not down.

The German nazis targeted their political opponents first in the 1930s, too. And IDK about Norway, but German neonazis also target Jews and immigrants.
- Comment on Are there any good CD/DVD external drives out there to connect to a laptop? So I can put all my old cd's and dvd's to my laptop then my external hd? And hopefully a decent priced one? 2 weeks ago:
AFAIK most of the cheap ones Just Work™. At least on Linux, would be unusual if that wasn’t true on other operating systems.

You’d also have to put a number on the value of prison labor - it’s unethical, but that never stopped the suits.
