Say what you want about Zuckerberg, but most people with enough intelligence don’t hate trans people

Eh… intelligence is helpful, but in the end does not inoculate one against BS opinions. Musk is (supposedly) intelligent and toxic as hell, Richard Dawkins is (definitely) intelligent and a fucking TERF. fuck, Jordan Peterson (for all his faults) is a demonstrative intelligent man… he’s just also an asshole and wrong about a multitude of things.

Take a deep breath, hold it in for 15 seconds, now blow through pursed lips onto your hand from about a foot away. The air coming out of your lungs is a couple degrees warmer than the surrounding air, but it still feels cold.

This is because the stream of air mixes with the surrounding, cooler air, rips away the ultra-thin film of warm air around your skin, thus exposing it to colder air and creating a more efficient heat-exchange with the colder air, cooling the skin.

Even if your ceiling fan moves air an entire degree warmer towards her, the movement of the air still strips away the protective film of warm air around her skin.

So… the genie offers to make me look better by increasing my looks to only slightly below average? Noice!

Hah! Not those exact words but Angela Merkel in 2007: “The Internet is new territory for all of us”.

BULLSHIT. Opposition to censorship continues to be strong on the left. I was there for “Stasi 2.0”, “Schäublone” and “Zensursula”. And nobody could EVER justifiably accuse Wolfgang Schäuble or Urula von der Leyen of leftism.

It’s continually the right that screeches “cEnSoRsHiP!!1!” when they get deplatformed by someone who has the right to deny them service, but it’s also the right that continually tries to implement state censorship.

It’s Helico-Pter not Heli-Copter. It’s a greek word from hélikos (screw, spiral, winding) and pterón (wing).

And since I’m fun at parties, I consequently pronounce it with a slight pause before and stress on the P and not a miniscule pause after the I and a slight stress on the O.

Hah! The google calculator completely bombed it. Yes, a better calculator says it’s 42.77 mpg.

2019 Škoda Fabia Monte-Carlo Edition.

It’s a relatively small car, but bigger on the inside, allowing my 6.5 feet (1.98m) and considerable bulk to sit comfortably and commute a route where sadly public transit isn’t an option. It’s only drinking 5.5l per 100km (4.277 42.77 mpg) and I have had good experiences with that model in the past in regards to the cost of maintenance.

I can go 200km/h (125 mph) (downhill and with a tailwind) and the sporty features (manual transmission, sports suspension, sports seating, stronger engine and spoiler) are really nice when going quickly around corners on country roads or speeding down the Autobahn.

The four characters who, without the players knowledge are representing the 4 Riders. Conquest Paladin as War, Spore Druid as Plague, Grave Domain Cleric as Death and Astral Self Monk as Hunger.

His american colleagues sometimes poke fun at my cousins branch for only working 35 hours a week, taking long vacations and having lots of state mandated holidays throughout the year. When they hire someone new they sometimes comment on how lazy the german colleagues are…

Then they point them towards the numbers and the fact that the german branch is constantly setting the productivity records. They’ve been outperforming the americans by more than 10% for years.

What’s more well known around the world, Wacken or Rammstein? Because Wacken is smaller than Ramstein and would be the better answer but my guess is that Rammstein are more known.

Ramstein, population ~5600

Famous for the Ramstein Air base, the bombing of the air base, the Ramstein air show disaster and the band named after all of that.

ZSK - Antifascista we always need more, proud, dangerous, commited antifascists.

For me, this song is an example of a bold, counter rightwing-populism narrative. We need more strong and proud narratives on the left, to tell people they can feel important, powerful, accepted and part of something important - on the morally correct side of history.

This mortifies europeans of every generation. In Scandinavia you can leave your pram unsupervised outside a café so your child can sleep well in the cool fresh air while you get a coffee and talk to the other parents doing the same. European schoolchildren walk or bike to school from first grade onwards and they can take public transportation all on their own. Our playgrounds would be deemed suicidal by modern american parents and they would freak out knowing children learn to whittle with sharp knives in a waldkindergarten.

I really don’t know how americans can still believe to be the freest nation when the only freedom index they are not completely outclassed by european nations is the economic freedom index.

To quote the greatest poet of our time:

The finger to the land of the chains What? The “land of the free”? Whoever told you that is your enemy.

If you count the election as the biggest possible poll, that let’s you infer which way the non-voters would have gone.

And if you are a non-voter, that means you have declared the eventual outcome as your preferred outcome, since you did not vote otherwise.

That’s just farming, only on a reeeeeeaaaaly small scale.

🤣

The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.

Uhh, do Disney!

Embrace the Rot by Endless Taverns.

I play a high level D&D spore druid who worships the rot as the culmination of the circle of life and death. He’s also, due to our campaign turning us into the heirs of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, currently wearing the mantle of the second horseman “Pestilence”.

It’s just… the song is perfect, it’s his theme song now.
