Seriously? Religion it’s a mechanism to control the masses. Don’t be one of them, I know, it’s so cozy and easy to project all on that, but sadly you have to think for yourself and take responsibility for your life, alone, no “god” or religion can and will set you free of that and it’s not a bad thing, just think positive of that fact and it’s not that hard anymore. I don’t say : don’t search for spiritual fulfilment, just stay independent in your thinking, don’t let anybody talk you into guilt, there is no hell, you decide, what you do or you don’t do. And animals - please. Nature takes care of itself, far faaaar longer as any one ever invented a “god” to cope with reality. We all die, that doesn’t make life any less precious. Since billions of years, everywhere in the universe. We are living on this insignificant pebble called earth and for thousands of years religion didn’t contribute to peace, less wars or better distribution of wealth, actually it contributed to the opposite, because it’s so simple to exploit for the powerful. Please, from one human being too the next, think for yourself, do good without the feeling you have to because someone or an old book says so, and very much not out of guilt.
I don’t either, but the front and back are the Wildenstein brothers (only one is still alive), billionaires, art dealers, tax evader and crooked business people par excellence.
Ha! I don’t believe a word. That’s clearly a short statued person besides it (our parents called them “dwarves” and fought at their side, with pencil and dice)
“I stopped taking the medication because they kill all creativity I had and the shitty health system refuses to give me a different one” - one story I’ve heard so far. I’m not saying it’s bad, don’t get me wrong, I’m saying every patient is different and they shouldn’t be pressed in drawers made by the pharmaceutical industry. Take your meds, if you can.
She’s right. One thing though: here in Germany it’s a bit different. They need money too, yes, they listen to the corporate overlords too, but for another reason: they do anything - and I mean ANY thing - to get more votes. No, that’s not a good thing. For example: they do rather nothing than lose votes. Parties like the ultra right AFD are prospering by appealing to the lowest instincts and fears. But many people vote for them because they think, they will change stuff because nobody does. And that’s only one thing, I could go on and on. What I’m saying is that the problem is even deeper, the tyranny of the majority works both ways, and politicians and citizens both lose. Only the rich will find a way, every time, to exploit the system, because it’s actually easy. A child could do that. Ok, a manipulative asshole child could do this. I don’t have a solution, I’ve got some ideas, but so has everyone, right?! The thing is: we, as in WE ALL HUMAN BEINGS, have to take responsibility not only for us, for our fellow people too, neighbors, society, etc. Not with the morale of law, religion or obligation or duty, with human sense. And if you think this through that means that nations, as we know them, have to change. We live on one insignificant pebble in the dark nothing, we, as mankind, have to grow up a bit, from the ego-driven early childhood, we’re in, at least to early teenagers. With all that comes with it. Money has to take second or third place after humanity, empathy and common sense. Education for all. Making it impossible for individuals to amass billions. And this change can only come from within everyone of us. Is somebody full of hate, it’s almost every time fear.
I don’t know why I’m thinking this right now (I woke up 3 minutes ago and sitting on the shitter) but wouldn’t it be cool if the socks have a profile that kinda clicks into the same negative profile in the sandals? If the socks are right, it would be like non-slipping sandals… Gotta need a coffee.
Somehow you’ve gotten your dream home. The cabin in the mountains, penthouse downtown, castle nestled deep in the woods, nuclear bunker in the hills, or whatever.

A tower. I’m dreaming of it since I was a child and it’s weirdly specific, made from wood with a stone base to the first floor, and the roof has a mechanism to unfold a 1-person balcony. It’s not to be above other people, it’s more like a “I’m seeing everything but I’m safe and only I can decide who’s getting in my tower” -thing. Plus: I love wind and fresh air and hate the feeling of being underground or even trapped in a box. Would base jump and day, but would not set a foot into an underground mine if you give me a million dollars. Some day I’ll have a tower… Actually waiting for the land prices around here to fall a bit to buy building ground, no joke. Don’t know if my wife says yes to doubling the house building money for a meager tower though, lol
Fat ass man here, can fart in 3 voices at the same time, I conserve one in the under ass, one in the upper ass and let them out the same time. You should’ve seen the admiring faces from the two cops in the front of the car. I even did it with cuffs. They totally wanted autographs.
After I lost 1TB of family photos, videos and documents a few years ago I never used and will never use any western digital products again. Simple as that. I’m still a bit grumpy about it, but my own fault to rely on just one hard drive, since that occurrence I mirror everything I wanna keep at least 2 times automatically.
For example, I’m sure the average joe doesn’t know just how expensive calligraphy pens can be, or how deep the rabbit hole goes on video game speedruns.
Woodworking and collecting old tech. Both my hobbies / crafts, both started very cheap and very little, today in my workshop there’s upwards 60k only in machines, not counting the tools, if you want to have a working computer from the 60s or even 50s, you’ll pay. And pay and pay. My advice: collect old cars. Or yachts. Cheaper :)
I wasn’t that much lighter at 21, but all the shit was further up, and maybe muscles instead of fat. Good ol’ lifting days. Shouldn’t have stopped training and continue eating lol
Carried my (rooted) Huawei 6+years, changed the battery 2 times, never had any problems. But I see why people have. I’m afraid, they will use replaceable batteries as an opportunity to just double the price. Wait for it.
As an only child I remember when I was feeling alone I let my hand hang out of bed in the night just imagining something like a nice monster lies there and I can almost pet it. Guess I was a very only child…
I enjoy good coffee, even a bit nerdy about it, but as he opened his husky tool drawer I went “ridiculous”. That’s like using a katana to dry your shoes. That dude has too much money and too little problems. IDK why, but it infuriates me. Fck that
Untrue. I use them for 10+ years for anything that’s possible (flashlights, powerbank and anything you can power with it) and they’re not dangerous if you follow SIMPLE rules. About as dangerous as a bottle of vinegar. And you can perfectly buy good cells for any application, Sony vtc5 or vtc6 are two examples, never buy cheap ones and NEVER buy from shady sellers. And btw: you shouldn’t put any battery to your keys in your pocket, that is called “stooo-pid” and makes little black holes in your thighs.
One human being who understood things. We need more of that, and some day, some day, all the hate and violence will die. I actually think of him when someone comes to me violently, works so far, given they’re not too intoxicated to interact on general human level. On the other hand, doesn’t happen so often to me. Little data here.

Social media is on the decline. Instagram is all ads. No one's posting on BeReal. TikTok is for influencers. The new place for sharing: group chats.
