- Comment on ‘The Wheel Of Time’ Canceled By Prime Video After 3 Seasons 4 days ago:
A long time I tried to read the books; the first ne was great, and probably also the second and third, but after a while it got extremely drawn out and the books just kept getting longer and longer. I had hoped the TV show could mitigatre that and reduce itself to what is no doubt an intriguing story. How were the first two seasons?

*crickets*
I think OP is fighting windmills here. They want to keep this discussion completely theoretical, probably so they don’t have to get off their high horse, make themselves vulnerable. I doubt they’ll ever come up with anything constructive 🤷
- Comment on Is there a community dedicated for serious discussion? 1 week ago:
I see you are unwilling to answer that or any other question I posed. You want a completely theoretical discussion where people cannot point out to you that you aren’t flawless either.
FWIW I had a look at your posting history and I think you’re fighting windmills here.
- Comment on Is there a community dedicated for serious discussion? 1 week ago:
The people here tend to lean in the same political or ideological direction, and they’ve become extremely sensitive to any ideas that seem to go against their worldview.
And there it is. I wonder what really triggered your post.
Even taking all that you wrote into account I still think feddit deals with this better than reddit.
Which btw is also a problem in those subs you describe. No mod can afford to be that strict.
Anyhow, be the change you want to see. I’m sure you performed your searches by now and haven’t find anything suitable, so start your own and moderate it the way you see fit!
Or at least tell us which subs you miss.
And another thing that goes for reddit as well as feddit: downvotes by themselves don’t mean that you’re being dogpiled or silenced or whatever. Controversial takes always attract - well, controversy. Deal with it, discuss you’re way through it, after all that’s what you want, no? I still say the number of reasonable people here is far larger than on reddit.
- Comment on Is there a community dedicated for serious discussion? 1 week ago:
There were these subs on reddit. I’d actually love some of that here as well; but otoh what you describe is the (dream of the) fediverse anyhow, and so far it really is a much nicer place to be than reddit, so the need is small.
That said, you can look up what these subs were called on reddit, then search for communities of the same name here.
- Comment on If darker coloured materials get hotter in the sun faster, will a display with the screen on or off change how quickly it heats up? 1 week ago:
Isn’t it important if the surface is reflective or not, regardless of colour?
And something (vague and uninformed) tells me that emitting bright pictures isn’t the same as “being brightly colored”. Also that LCD/e-ink displays are significantly different here.
Good question, I will remember to come back here and see who has the best answer (none satisfy me 100% so far).
- Comment on Selling BTC or not..? 2 weeks ago:
Just to clarify, you put $1800 into this and are now hoping to get $1000 out of it before turning your back on the pyramid scheme called cryptocurrency?
- Comment on Are there any TV series you gave up on, or just forgot about due to insane gaps between seasons? 2 weeks ago:
I almost always binge so this can happen with any show. Most notably with Game Of Thrones; I stopped watching after I’d caught up with the last episode that came out in real time, and even lost interest.
Then over a year later I watched the rest and was flabbergasted at myself for losing interest in the first place.

Whatever you’re selling, this is not the way to do it.
- Comment on What would I need to do to successfully paint with my own menstrual blood? 2 weeks ago:
Obviously let it dry first, then use fixative spray? Not that I’m an expert. Or make finding the preservation part of the artistic process. Alcohol? Lemon juice? Ashes? Lime?
- Comment on 'The Equalizer' Canceled After 5 Seasons at CBS 3 weeks ago:
I like shows where the downtrodden get a deserved comeuppance (did I phrase that right?), even if I know it’s just copium.
Is The Equalizer any good?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
type 2 fun … good in hindsight
I love that.
I hope it’s possible to get a campfire going otherwise it’s really only half the fun.
And coffee cooked on a campfire is better than any other.
- Comment on Are we all suffering from "future shock" in 2025? 4 weeks ago:
He didn’t really “predict” any of it though just as Gordon Moore didn’t “predict” that computers are going to get faster.
Extrapolation from existing data might be a better term. What you cite already existed in 1970, if in lesser amounts than today.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Exactly the same as the lifestyle of a billionaire.
At some point being rich simply doesn’t add anything to your actual life anymore since you’ll never be able to spend even a tenth of it in one lifetime. Well, at least on yourself.
Oh and there’s also the question how you count wealth. I’m very suspicious about someone being the richest person depending so much on the value of their stock. And how is debt counted into it?

you can get it here (thanks Darkore)
It’s a nice font but it looks mushy even at very large sizes.
- Comment on What's an example of a TV show that came out at before its time, or just at a bad time? 4 weeks ago:
there was a huge fire at that burned a bunch of the sets down
Like Nero did? I bet there were some interesting headlines about it.
- Comment on What's an example of a TV show that came out at before its time, or just at a bad time? 4 weeks ago:
Same with South Park in Germany! I hated it back then because I thought it really was a kids show. Took me way too long to realize that our programme directors were idiots, not the creators.

- Comment on Who can I ask or where can I find help in moving to a new country? 5 weeks ago:
The country in question most likely has one or several websites just for this purpose, in various languages.
Just type “move to [country]” into your search engine. It’s easy to find the official sites.
- Comment on Why do some drivers turn off the signal sound so quickly? 5 weeks ago:
I swear on both of my nuts that these drivers arent even looking at the mirrors (any mirrors) or looking over their shoulders.
I use single-blink signals on the motorway (it’s a function built into the thingy by my steering wheel and I find it handy) and I always use both mirrors and look sideways before doing it.
So yeah, I’m offended. Mildly.
- Comment on How do I stop having expectations at the workplace? 5 weeks ago:
but ain’t this not one of your limitations, but theirs? This sentence makes it look like your coworkers slow you down.
That’s not what I meant.
First of all I consider myself a self-reflecting being (a good thing) and sometimes a little too self-critical (not so good).
I think I’m fairly good at my job per se but it’s that meta aspect of dealing with colleagues and (lack of) structure I’m not so good at. Maybe I’m socially awkward, maybe I lack diplomacy, maybe I’m too opinionated. I’m trying to improve there: stop overreacting, think of more constructive ways to communicate etc. Not that I want to stop being opinionated though.
Also I’m not really career-oriented, there’s no “slowing me down”.
- Comment on How do I stop having expectations at the workplace? 1 month ago:
I’m with you 100%.
You should want to have a good workplace. After all it goes both ways: it will also improve the work you provide.
If that isn’t the case rn, you can either try to improve the situation, or, if that proves impossible, change workplaces.
I’m currently in a similar situation; I had a relatively good workplace for many years, but the new one proves challenging. I’m currently in the trying to improve phase; it’s an uphill struggle.
But also trying to improve myself; the current job shows me my own limitations.
- Comment on Why do European Leftist call their government's right wing despite having free healthcare? 1 month ago:
The 2-party-system in the USA compares to most European party as follows:
- GOP: far-right and radical-right parties like AfD
- Democrats: all the rest, but mostly center-right and center-left parties
Caveat: more and more of our center-right parties vie for the far-right sector
- Comment on Can I sue my apartment management company? 1 month ago:
My translation was a little off: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenants_union
In my experience it’s much less grassroots than the article makes it sound: these are well established organisations, they have specialised lawyers on the payroll, and for a yearly fee you get the right to consult them in cases like this one. And when the case is clear enough they will get active on your behalf.
- Comment on Can I sue my apartment management company? 1 month ago:
Sorry to be Mr Hindsight here, but please join a renters’ association yesterday. If they’re anywhere near as good and not costly, as was my experience, it’s money extremely well spent.
- Comment on So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs? 1 month ago:
Not a direct answer, but the nazis created hierarchies inside the camps:
arolsen-archives.org/…/prisoner-groups-in-the-con…
It stands to reason that some of them thought they were better, and still nazis.

Only the weak willed ones fall for that.
So, half the voting population.
Also, there has to be something else because I wouldn’t consider myself strong-willed but I’d never fall for this sort of kneejerk rhetoric leading straight to kneejerk voting.
