Ik hoor stroopwafels?!

Yeah, right? With current energy prices, price of decent coffee and so on, that coffee is at least 70 ct.

And whatever nature managed to adapt and survive the winter would probably be killed off by the warming afterwards. Yeah.
- Comment on Doomer 1 week ago:
Yes, for a few decades. And then we’d go straight into warming again.
The only solution: a new nuclear war every 50 or so years. Solar radiation management is for suckers, real men use nukes!
- Comment on Doomer 1 week ago:
Nah, global warming is on much larger scales than nuclear winter. Well get a few years or decades of winter and then a quick rebound to warming. Even worse than just the warming, because at least that happens gradually and gives nature and people time to adapt.

At the end of the day, nothing is really beyond any doubt. Witnesses can imagine things, cops can be bribed, judges can have a newborn kid and maybe slept 3h last night

Is dick polymer biodegradable? If so, maybe we can tackle the whole microplastic issue as well!

But she’s fun art barbecues!

Didn’t say who made that choice
- Comment on We're so back 2 weeks ago:
Absolutely. We are on a 3-10 year delay, but we get the same bullshit. Remember when QAnon made its way over?

As a fellow European, I wish I didn’t have to know who MTG is, but sadly I do. I also wish that I never heard of HCQ, homeopathy, and the relations between Semitic religions and space-based laser weapons, but here we are

The fucking guy found the jackpot, and complains the gold coins have the wrong shape. A woman that is apparently both hot, and financially responsible? Fuck yes.
Besides, it is an easy filter: if you don’t want someone who thinks splitting the bill ist just and fair, you’ll likely find out at the first date (and vice versa). If your date strongly disagrees with your ideas, don’t proceed, tick it off as a nice evening and move on.

Oh, that is cool! I’d probably go for something more fancy, but hey, it does the job.
For antennas, Id probably go with wood or aluminium (depending on what is on hand) and brass tubes from the hardware store. If you want it to be small, a HB9CV is pretty easy too

Yeah, good luck.
- Comment on Wonder why? 4 weeks ago:
The last thing I heard about Biontech is that the guys founding the company got crazy rich, figures out they don’t like being CEOs of a large company, and founded another small research lab with their money.
Besides, it is a private company, sure, they got government grants and funding especially during Corona, but I don’t think we should give random companies fucktons of tax money in normal circumstances. At least not while we’re doing the whole market economy capitalism thing.

So, your argument is, some of those groups are actually oppressed, therefore, it is inappropriate to throw in some of the actually oppressed groups in the same bin as obviously non-oppressed ones?
Yeah, that is a fair point, I guess. In retrospect, I should not have done this, if only because it distracts from the original argument, and I can see how it can be read as “look at me, a non-oppressed person, I am soo oppressed”. You live and learn, I never had the intention to make this about me, or any group I may be in.
I believe that my original argument, while maybe not exactly presented in the best way, still is valid: blanket statements against a group, any group, are bad. Some are worse than others in the context of how society treats them, sure, I agree with that.
- Comment on A handy graphic to bring you up to speed on the Katy Perry/Ruby Rose situation. 5 weeks ago:
My bad, I thought you were arguing in good faith. easy mistake. But apparently I hate queer people now.
So this is not addressed at you, but at other people who might read this:
The example of me being a straight man does not matter at all. I could have picked any other group. The solution to a society that is oppressive to some (like homosexual women) is not applying the same rhetoric of oppression and stereotype to groups that are more likely to do that oppression (like heterosexual women).
- Comment on A handy graphic to bring you up to speed on the Katy Perry/Ruby Rose situation. 5 weeks ago:
drunk straight women love to SA queer women
That is a very general statement. I really dislike like such blanket statements. Because what is the difference between that and statements like “black people are dumb”, “Mexicans are drug dealers”, or, yes, “straight men are rapists”?
if someone critiques an identity that you are a part of and the critique doesnt apply to you then its probably not about you
If someone critiques a whole identity, they should either make sure that it applies to all or at least the overwhelming majority of that identity, or be prepared to be called a bigot and prejudiced.
- Comment on A handy graphic to bring you up to speed on the Katy Perry/Ruby Rose situation. 5 weeks ago:
Then let me rephrase it, because I forgot it’s the internet and people will try to misunderstand me.
As a member of a non-specified group X, I would hate it if people would precondemn me based on thing Y, which a part of group X does more than the average population.
Based on this hypothetical, yet relatable thought experiment, saying that a group does a bad thing because some people who happen to be in that group do that bad thing more often than other people is at the very least rude.

Remember when fascists had a sense of style and aesthetic?
Now it’s all cheap suits, shitty haircuts and AI slop.
At least the Nazi propaganda was well made and their paramilitaries looked cool beating up minorities.
- Comment on A handy graphic to bring you up to speed on the Katy Perry/Ruby Rose situation. 5 weeks ago:
Throwing a whole group of people in there with the actions of some idiots is a tiny bit rude.
Signed, a straight man who kind of likes not being treated as a rapist and murderer.
- Comment on Anon needs a good response 5 weeks ago:
Same. Some days, my sense of “this is not right, people should not do this, I should not do this” is preventing me from doing really stupid things.
Besides, what if you did something ethically bad and get away with it, and then the empathy comes back? Wouldn’t you just hate yourself that you scammed an old lady of her retirement money and destroyed some poor kid’s future for minor personal gain on the way home?
- Comment on Anon runs into his boss 5 weeks ago:
A good reminder that a lot of the time, your boss is in a similar situation than you are, just a few salary levels higher and tasked to keep the morale high. Imagine if we got everyone below C level in a union, what kind of bargain power that would have… a man can dream

Ah natürlich. Wobei, Hannover hat echt schöne Ecken. Frankfurt dagegen würde ich ohne zu zögern nominieren, wenn Putin als Friedensbedingungen fordert, wenigstens eine westliche Stadt zu nuken.
- Comment on Anon teaches you about their culture 1 month ago:
Every culture other than maybe the British and the Dutch has good meals, some are just more hidden.
The neoliberal 80s and 90s killed families.
It’s 50/50 if your grandma is horribly racist or actually pretty cool.
Bags in a bag are boring, have you heard of a box of boxes? You never know when you need a box at some point.
Parties were synonymous with heavy drinking where I grew up. You don’t drink, you are an outsider.
Criminals are the usual, I guess. I’ve never been victim to a violent crime, no idea if it is common sense or just being lucky. Someone else recently said they get into serious fights regularly, I do wonder what they do wrong or I do right.

Crackfurt am Meins oder Hannover?
- Comment on The Art of Surrender 1 month ago:
There is this old joke: “The US has two parties: The conservatives, and the Republicans…”
People may be stupid, but not blind. They see that things are bad, and want change. The “old” Dems promise status quo, stability, business as usual, maybe even business like in the good ol’ days. That is like the textbook definition of conservative. The MAGA people promise and deliver change. Sure, might not be good change. But it’s change.

I have it, whether I want it or not. By choice of not my own, political shit happens. I can choose to stick my fingers in my ears, but that’s about it.
- Comment on Having to work during the apocalypse sucks 1 month ago:
It’s the same argument for why it’s OK to sell drugs. Someone is going to do it anyway, me selling crack is not going to change anything meaningful, so I might as well do it.

It is pretty hard to irradiate a whole block and give everyone turbo-cancer with my smartphone, tbh.
The Soviets used RTGs quite a bit for remote installations, and “whoops, we lost one, I hope nobody finds it and kills their family” is a real concern (that was kind of ignored because a. Russia is big and b. it’s the Soviets we are talking about)
