That’s wild! And… good???

Why haven’t I heard of this before??? I feel like I should give back my Internet Veteran certificate!

Well, there’s the German language barrier and it’s now 20 years old. Sigh, feels like it just came out yesterday.

It’s hard when household devices rebell

Hmm. Maybe

• „The myth of a strong leader“ by Archie Brown

I really like this one. It reads pretty modern and might give some insight how the situation in the US might evolve:

• „Berlin Diary“ by William L. Shirer

That one is a classic:

• „How to spot a fascist“ by Umberto Eco.

Stefan Zweig talks about the rise of the nazis and the beginning of Second World War in his memoirs for a bit:

• „The world of yesterday“ by Stefan Zweig.

Many freighters rent cabins for passage. No idea how expensive this is, tho.

Must be a lizard thing.

I totally ate the onion here for a second.

I don’t expect it, but I don’t rule it out either.

Just a warning for everyone who isn’t worried: you expect that the leaders of the world act logically and like adults. That might be a mistake.

What? The article says basically just „fake news bad“ and you have to dig up the name Captain Beatty?

Holy overinterpretation, Batman!

Hmmm.

• „The dark is rising“ Series by Susan Cooper
• „The Moon of Gomrath“ by Alan Garner
• „The Innkeepers Song“ by Peter S. Beagle
• „Stardust“ by Neil Gaiman
• „The Night Circus“ by Erin Morgenstern
• „Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrel by Susanna Clarke

Those were on top of my head. There are probably many many more. Also check out other books by the authors I mentioned.

Du sprichst exzellentes Englisch und bist hier auf Lemmy. Das zeigt bereits, dass fähiger bist als du denkst.

Und du bist noch ein Baby. Weißt du wie lange ich gefailed habe, bis ich mein Leben auch nur ansatzweise auf die Reihe gebracht habe? Länger als du am Leben bist.

Hör auf die Tips in diesem Faden. Geh nach draußen such dir Hobbies und Dinge die dich Interessieren. Bibliotheken sind ein guter Zufluchtsort. Hol dir ein Notizbuch und nen guten Stift und Schreib deine Gedanken auf.

Siehs mal so, wenn du schon nichts auf die Reihe bekommst, dann kannst du wenigstens Spaß haben. Und du wirst erstaunt bemerken, dass mit dem Spaß auch ein wenig Erfolg kommen wird.

Understandable reaction, I wouldn’t buy YouTube premium either.

Probably not, but I consider „come outside!“ as pretty creepy.

Fuck Strava. After not using it for a bit it’s now pestering me to start the app again. The begging starts to get a bit creepy to be honest.

That’s actually something I think about quite often recently. People 150 years ago didn’t have electricity at all, what did they do?

First the things that would be really helpful if already built into your home: It helps if you have a gas or wooden stove to cook meals. Same with heating, a masonry stove for example could really make a difference.

Stuff that’s good to have is a small camping gas stove, some LED lanterns, tons of batteries and candles. Powerbanks to charge your mobile phones, maybe a few solar cells on the roof with some batteries connected to it. Maybe even a small emergency power generator. Don’t forget the fuel for it.

What you can do: Go for a hike. Read books, play boardgames and cards. Do puzzles. Write! Get a notebook and a pen ( I recommend actually fountain pens) and do some journaling. Write about your day, your dreams or your concerns. Make a list what parts of the world you want to visit before you die or anything else you can think about. Learn to draw or to paint. Maybe it’s time to put up the guitar that’s gathering dust in the corner.

Something like that. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Robin has some cake! 😳

Yes! Brother, we might be few but we are here. Fuck Wintertime, summertime all along.

Good question, unfortunately I’m not an expert and don’t use one.

But if you like a recommendation for a regular rugged watch: Try a G-Shock. Or try a dive watch from a reputable brand, they are built like tanks most of the time.
