I would probably cum from laughing.

When I was in 7th grade I had the same teacher in Latin that my dad had.

That teacher was really old. It was hard to cheat in a test, as he had extremely crossed eyes and I never was sure where he looked.

Weird memories.

For a long time I didn’t like Nihilism because of the implied negativity. There’s no god, no reason no ultimate judge. So it says behave as you like, and I somehow read it as “don’t care about anyone else”.

Just I feel better when I treat people nicely, when I’m not an asshole. Not out of fear, but because I like to.

It was so eye opening when I found out this is known as optimistic nihilism.

This is the world. Shit happens, good things happen. There is no deeper reason behind it. Things are not important. I can make the world my hell or my playground.

That’s what I was thinking looking at this meme. Being both is the only logical thing.

Shall I stay or shall I go now?

I don’t have a lot of VR experience, but for me being “in” a scene does it for VR, while 3D Glasses are still meh.

Try non-stereoscooic VR by just closing one eye while using your headset - it’s still great. The difference is the one between stereoscopic tvs and normal ones.

Oh, and the 3d tvs are non-interactive. Move your head a bit, you still don’t see around things. But that’s what makes a lot of 3d effect for me.

I had a TV that was 3D capable along with a PS3. I think I played 30 minutes of 3D games on that TV before I got a headache from the flickering shutter glasses and then they staid in the drawer below them tv for a year ar or two. Next time I wanted to try the batteries were empty.

I also saw a number of 3D movies in the cinema but it’s more for block busters and after a while it just is “meh”.

It’s a wow cool effect in the beginning, but in the end it’s just a gimmick. IMO it’s not more immersive but rather distracting from the movie itself.

Oh fuck, I had a MacBook years ago and one day the touchpad wouldn’t register any clicks anymore.

After one angry hour I found out I didn’t turn off my magic mouse before I chucked it into the laptop bag and a book was resting on it, “holding” the button down.

Why is everyone ignoring Wham? Whamageddon starts at Dec 1st.

I tried this on “Can you read this”, pasted the result in chatgpt. It told me it’s zero with noise mostly. I asked it to decode that - and it did. This is as useful as posting with thorns, but more wasteful.

Please note that I didn’t try to downtalk on what you cook - I’ve been to the US and found that it’s not so easy to get nice fresh stuff. And if you need to eat out it’s impossible or stupid expensive.

I was in the US with my (adult) kids and we did a lot of cooking ourselves when we could. Still prices when shopping were crazy - and that was a year ago, before the current round of inflation. We still were at cities where we still had some decent shops in driving range. I can’t even imagine how it feels when you’re away from that.

And what I read you’re putting a lot of thought and love into food. Yes upbringing and food deserts are hard problem people don’t deserve.

Nope it does not look better. It’s the food, not the colors.

Oh maybe it is the colors, it looks even more like it’s heavy in the stomach.

It’s weird as I like meat and cheese myself. But photos of American food which is almost exclusively that stuff - the first few I saw, i though yum. But now every time I see more of them, it turns me off.

I understand OP is living on a budget and I’m happy for them for their 100 USD card. And I remember - when I was there for holidays the last time I ate similarly myself because some simple fresh stuff just did cost a fortune.

Back to the picture - what would make it look good to me would be something green, just a bit of salad on the side or some bell peppers sliced.

I was in Sardegna once and on that trip I had one of the best meals I ever had in an agroturismo. What do I remember about it? The plate of raw sliced tomatoes and bell peppers they had grown themselves.

Meine Bank bietet Wero seit kurzem an, hab ich gleich eingerichtet - hatte seitdem aber noch keine Gelegenheit Wero uu nutzen.

Paypal - zahlreiche Nutzungen seitdem.

Dss. Lustige - Geld senden an Freunde, da ist auch die klassische Überwachung keim großes Hindernis, die geht nicht viel aufwändiger als Wero. Also kein Use Case für mich.

Onlinekauf - naja, da muss ich erst mal einen finden, der Wero akzeptiert.

In my fourth semester im Uni I could choose whether to take numerical analysis or probability theory.

Most students took numerical analysis, even if the exam typically had a 80% failure rate. (Yes, one of five successed)

It was a completely different with probability theory (Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung). Oh, having chosen it due to these reasons now I know why: The prof loved teaching and was really good at explaining.

Ultimately this shows, people have no idea about probabilities.

Edit: fixed the nunerical typo. No it was not about catholic nuns.

Oh interesting, I knew this joke in a “Budweiser” form, but not that it originated from Monty Python.

So I bow to them.

I’m living in Munich and we also have a bit of a connection to beer. Of the famous Munich beer brands Paulaner and Hacker are partially held by Heineken and Spaten, Franziskaner and Löwenbräu by Anheuser Busch.

Fortunately there are still good independent few. (Augustiner, Hofbräu, Giesinger)

I always want to go to the Paulaner or Hacker beer gardens and put a sticker to the urinal “This is where they make Heineken”

What’s the difference between Foster’s and having sex in a canoe?

There’s none.

Both are fucking close to water.

In every fucking commercial for a washing machine someone is in their garden and turns on the machine by wifi. How does the dirty laundry get in?

The only interesting thing might be a notification when it’s done.

Applying “kinetic sanctions” to Russian oil exports will wean the world off oil and save CO2 in the long run.

In totally unrelated news, here in Germany - after the political clusterfuck of the last years about heat pumps has silenced - in 2025 heat pumps more and more become home owners heating system of choice.

And I don’t worry about blowing these depots up to drive back the aggressor in a war in an manner of ecology, I do worry about fossils still being one of our main energy sources.
