Obesity is a natural reaction to an unnatural food environment

I really hope so! Unfortunately, being VERY LOUD is important to motorcycle-men and part of their ridiculous sense of community and freedom. That’s why I fear they will be one of the last to switch to electric motors.

Nothing triggers me more than motorcyclists. We moved from a big city in Germany to the countryside a couple years ago and I totally underestimated the amount of noise you guys make. On every sunny weekend, fat people in their mid-fifties dressed like sausages rattle along the country roads and wave at each other in a cool manner. Saturdays are annoying, Sundays seriously unbearable. We can’t have a conversation in the garden, even deep in the forest you can hear the engines roar. They hang around on the benches, bus stops and at the petrol station, smoking and talking on their phones. Ambulances once or twice a day, rescue helicopters every other week. One time friends came to visit and greeted me with: “There was a motorcyclist lying on the crossroads”. At the start of the season, two motorcyclists collided on a bend close to my home and both died. Casual! It was pretty quiet while the paramedics failed to save both of the fathers lifes.
Riding a motorcycle is such an embarrassing, reckless and mean-spirited pastime, it drives me insane. If I sell this house again, it will be because of you. I pray for a ban on driving on Sundays and public holidays and noise controls. Buy a racing bike, seriously!

Don’t get me wrong, I hate cars. But people are already dying from them, because humans make mistakes and drive reclesly. Don’t you think traffic with 100% self-driving cars would be safer because AI is more careful? New technology has got to start start somewhere. Feels a little “not in my backyard” to me. Yes cyclists are unsafe, but not because of Teslas self-driving EVs.

I don’t get it. There is a new technology, self-driving electric vehicles, it’s evolving and it’s not perfect (yet). You don’t have to buy this technology, you don’t have to engage in any way, just look at something else and let it mature. Yet I get headline after headline celebrating small failures. This is like an anti-fandom. Why?!

Took me some time to get used to, but I deactivated all the YouTube plugins and now use Freetube an my desktop/laptop.

I wish you and your children the best and hope you’re wrong, that our path is not that determined yet.

I know all of this! I just refuse to lay down and give up like a rabbit in the headlights. We’re not hungry, not cold, not in survival-mode, yet. We’re still the lucky ones, so let’s live up to that. You can cry when our time has actually come.

Well, it doesn’t look good, I absolutely agree. But still, you’re no fortune teller and world history is full of plot twists. Christianity went from a strange little hippie-cult to a world religion in no time, and noone saw that coming. Germany reuniting? Not in a 1000 years, said everyone a year before it actually happened. I’m too lazy to find more examples, because this is not my native language. You get my point: We don’t know! Let veganism conquer the world, maybe! Telling your children we’re doomed feels so desperate and grim. But there is always hope. I’m not doomed at this very moment, so let’s do something! Grow a tomato, hug your child, take a walk, punch a fascist, blow up a pipeline. :)

This sounds terrible!

I am in a much more lucky place than you seem to be, still I feel what you are saying. I try to imagine the incredible hardship and suffering previous generations had to face. We’re still the lucky ones. That helps me sometimes to appreciate basic stuff. Plus eat 3,5g of magic mushrooms, maybe. Let them blow your brains out.
(Disclaimer: I’m not a native speaker, if any of this sounds offensive I apologise. I’m writing this only with good intentions.)

This is really bad advice, you sound like a 15 y/o.

AKA the Bullshit Bingo!

Lineage with MicroG, too. Been using it for years. I love buying phones for less than 100€ and use them until they are dead. OsmAnd, Syncthing, Keepass, NewPipe, DavX5, Neo- and Aurora Store are so good. Banking works fine after hiding Magisk but I can’t get Deutsche Bahn app to work, so I still buy my tickets offline. Not big of a deal. I really love my setup, it took some time to finetune, but it feels great to use a 95% FLOSS phone.

I gravitated toward pen & paper rpgs. I don’t get to play as much as I’d like to, but when I do it feels great to play whoever I want and to do whatever I can come up with, with my friends.

And after listening to the “Sounds Like Crowes”-podcast, even RDR2 feels shallow and limited to me. So if I play something on my computer, it’s some quick 15 minutes of Brutal Doom or some arcadish indie fun.

Boomer cringe

Those lame jokes make me wanna mention the Vegan Bullshit Bingo.
