D has all the good stuff. Middle Eastern, Asian food, even a part of Greek food. I don’t really see any competition to that.

There’s a special place in hell for any person playing any sound loudly in public places. Recently there was some dude scrolling TikTok at full blast in the train. I’d rather have any form of continuous music over that distracting bombardment of random sounds.

Probably, but in this case it fits. If there’s anything that generative AI is good at, it’s capturing the vibe of that fucked up thing your brain does in dreams. This image perfectly represents what my brain does when I’m just awake or almost asleep. Messing with proportions and unable to form a normal picture of things.

Try being permanently exhausted. Ever since I had mono and COVID in 2020 I basically fall asleep the moment I touch my bed. But unfortunately I also need that nap almost every day.

Imo the whole incel thing is a symptom, not the cause. Many men feel lonely, lost, and useless in today’s society. Without a proper support network and raised to hide away our emotions, many of us don’t have the proper tools to tackle this monster. Then, conveniently, there are these people who tell you that none of it is your fault. That it’s not you who needs to change or improve yourself, but society that went wrong. That it’s the “woke people” who paint you as a villain, that it’s the women who deny you the “right” to a relationship .

Many men are looking for answers. And the whole incel alt-right pipeline gives easy answers. It blames everyone else. And when you’re already in a dark place, tired and lost, it can be hard to resist. Not that I want to excuse incels in any way, they’re dangerous and we have every right to vilify them. But imo they’re not the cause, just a symptom of the broader issue. And to prevent more incels from appearing, I think it’s time they men’s mental health is taken a bit more seriously. Society needs to adapt, starting from how boys are raised.

It’s a bit weird, but imo not wrong. 500 > steps/day or steps/day < 500 is the same. As long as the big end of the < or > is at the 500 it makes sense. It only doesn’t make sense if you literally read 500 > steps/day as “five hundred greater than steps a day” instead of parsing it as math.

I’d love to see the look Macron and Zelensky gave each other at some point during or after this scene. The things you do for peace…

Also Trump 2028? That’s unconstitutional right? And he’s showing this to other world leaders?! That should be some kind of lawsuit in and of itself.

Yeah yeah I will. Right after another video

In some jobs you can. I switched to working 36 hours which effectively traded money for time and energy. The moment that money bar fills up with sufficient buffer again I’ll probably switch to 32. It mainly provides time though, not energy. But it’s better than nothing

Maybe we should nuke the rest if the world too

Damn, maybe AI can replace me after all

So I never really though about this before this post, but the Dutch name is actually really fucking weird. They’re called “pissebedden” here, which is a combination of “pissen” (to pee) and “bedden” (beds). I read that apparently there was a superstition that they would help against bed wetting of you put them in your bed before sleep. I guess that’d help because it’d be hard to sleep with those buggers crawling around in your bed. What’s also weird is that the name isn’t literally “bed wetters” because then the words should be reversed like “bedpissers” or something. So it’s more like “pissybeds” in English.

Idk what tf they were smoking tbh, but it’s the normal word for them and is even used on Wikipedia. Li they’re talking about the zoetwaterpissebedden (fresh water pissybed) as if this is a reasonable scientific name.

Yeah exactly. I’ve been on the receiving end on of (male) bullying quite a bit and also haven’t always been nice to others myself in order to try and fit in. I can only remember one physical incident in all those years. That guy was the classic “movie” bully, just an asshole terrorizing everyone around him, so naturally I decided that something had to be done (it did not go well). Other than that it was all psychological. “Friends” that started saying mean things the moment they were around people they looked up to.

Something that makes it a bit more difficult is also that bullying in these cases was often not black and white. The line between friendly teasing and psychological bullying was often quite thin. In hindsight I interpreted a lot of teasing jokes as bullying because I took everything literally and was very protective of my stuff. That doesn’t excuse them because it was very clear that it hurt me, but it’s interesting that some of those interactions now have become regular interactions between me and my friends that both sides clearly enjoy.

I thought the same, so I bought some Blu-rays and DVDs. DVDs are fine as long as you’re okay with the quality. Blu-rays have DRM though, which in Linux feels like you’re pirating even when playing legit content

Yeah it’s insane honestly. My own meals are probably like 70% vegetable or something. A lot of people already eat very few vegetables in my opinion, but OP really goes beyond that in this case. Bland, tasteless, and not even healthy

The “anti-woke” men at my office once crowned me the “woke police” because I commented on one of their sexist/racist/homophobic/ whatever “jokes”. It’s my badge of honour. The weird part is that we kinda entered into some sort of cold war. I could comment on their “jokes”, pretending it was in jest as part of my job as “woke police”, while still getting the message across. I guess it kinda kept some semblance of friendliness and ability to cooperate while we still got our opinions out.

Meow meow :3

I was equally confused initially, but then I looked at the clock in my house and realized that the number up top is the highest number, 12, and not 0. So the first number in the ordering is at the position of the 1 of a normal clock.

What lack of logic? The numbers on the clock are sorted based on the alphabetical order when they’re spelled out in English. Just like with a real clock, the top number is the highest, not the lowest. That seems quite logical to me

Damn, the meme made me happy but then I read your title. Hopefully you’ll one day become a nice person. I know you can do it!
