It’s a hyper loop!

Can you elaborate how and what actions will affect my feed? I don’t quite understand how this works without any login as I can’t vote or write comments. Also how do my subscriptions affect it if I’m logged in to an instance?

I do like it and would wish something like that as an app.

Haven’t been following current anime. Started watching Dungeon Meshi because I like the idea and it looked fun. Absolutely in love with it.

To scratch the fantasy anime itch between episodes I started watching Frieren: Beyond journey’s end. Hooked me with the first episode and has only been getting better!

I did heighten the phrasing for comedic purposes. I mean essayists like Lindsay Ellis ;)

I want to add that the box office income is simply one of the only objective metrics to compare the success of films.

Ein erfahrener Grower, der weiß was er macht, kräftig düngt und die Pflanze draußen stehen hat oder einen riesigen Topf verwendet, kriegt sicher mehr als 50g aus einer. Aber als Laie, der nicht alles perfekt macht und mit einem kleineren Topf bekommt man aus einer Pflanze eher 20-40g hab ich gehört.

But the original Ghost in the Shell is perfect! I just rewatched it this weekend and it still looks amazing! Why remake that?

Einen Straßennamen würde ich aber kaum als Würdigung bezeichnen.

Als was würdest du das dann bezeichnen? Angenommen eine Stadt beschließt eine Straße nach dir zu benennen, das würdest du nicht als Würdigung bezeichnen? Ich glaub dir ja fast, dass du das nicht als Würdigung siehst. Ich fürchte nur, dass die meisten das anders sehen. Schau dir mal an nach wem Straßen in Deutschland (und anderen Ländern) benannt sind.

Ich finde, da gehört eine Infotafel zur Geschichte des Nationalsozialismus in dem Ort dazu hingestellt, wo schon aufgeklärt wird was passiert ist und wie es sich damals so ergeben konnte. Dann kann, und gewissermaßen soll, man auch gerne Straßen nach Nationalsozialisten benennen.

Verstehe ich das richtig, dass du für die Erinnerungskultur in Deutschland Straßen nach Nazis benennen und dann darunter Infotafeln aufstellen würdest? Mal abgesehen davon, dass wir uns vielleicht lieber an die Opfer als an die Täter erinnern sollten, meinst du nicht, dass das zumindest international und auf Karten nicht so gut wirkt? Und wo würdest du die Tafel denn hinstellen? So eine Straße ist ja meistens auch ein bisschen länger. Stell dir vor wir würden das wirklich machen und noch einen Schritt weiter gehen, zur Erinnerungskultur in Berlin eine Adolf-Hitler-Allee einführen. Denn wenn dann müssen wir uns doch an den Typen erinnern! Kriegt auch irgendwo eine Tafel die erklärt, dass das nicht als Würdigung gemeint ist, eher so als Ächtung und für die Erinnerung. Fühlt sich das wirklich für dich nicht unsinnig an? Stell dir vor jemand fragt dich wo du wohnst und du musst antworten: Adolf-Hitler-Allee 88…

Ich glaub nicht, dass du das ganze hier so richtig durchdacht hast.

Söder war die Demo gegen rechts zu links? Alter, ich krieg mich nicht mehr ein 🤣

Ist das wirklich nicht vom Postillon?

“This is a free country, mate! We’re not in communist China now!” Calm down, mate. You’re in the UK.

But obviously, as insufferable as he is, that is his right. He probably was exactly the right person to really blow this all up. I doubt though that it will actually go anywhere.

The order and way actors appear in the credits is, as you alluded to, often part of the negotiations and contracts. Seems like these kids had better contacts than the others. That could be because they have more experience, their parts were supposed to be more prominent and changed (although I doubt that with these character names) or they simply had the better agent(s).

You can install a browser addon like “I don’t care about cookies” to automatically close these.

If your games are on steam, you’re already not owning them. The only difference seems to be that steam doesn’t demand a monthly subscription cost, yet

We already have game pass so it’s not like this is something completely new either.

If this makes money, other big publishers will join and in 10 years it’s the norm.

Personally, I’ll try my best to keep buying on GOG and itch.io where I get to actually own my games.

There is a lot of confusion around anarchism, because it is a negative description: It’s a collective without leader, without governing institutions. It doesn’t say much about how this collective organizes instead. So you could call the chaotic state after a government coup Anarchy. But that isn’t what anarchists are talking about and I don’t think that is what OP meant either.

Anarchy as a deliberate system is when a group of people decides to work or live together without selecting a leader or any other form of government, instead resolving decisions that affect everyone together. In that sense it is not an interim state, a leadership-vacuum just waiting to be filled. Although of course Anarchy can transition into another system by various means, but so can every other system as well.

I think it is important to add that even though no system is perfect and every system has it’s pros and cons, that doesn’t make them equal. As soon as we define goals, for example equal rights, some systems will be better equipped at achieving those while others might be actively hostile to them.

That is a misconception. Anarchism is a equal distribution of power among all participants. This will not change “naturally”. It can be changed by either efforts from within to establish a single individual or group as a ruler over the rest, or by outside forces. Neither I would classify as happening just naturally.

In an anarchist society, that is a community without hierarchies and rulers, threats are handled by the community. So one person with a big stick would have to fight everyone else to establish their dominance.

There are already a lot of good tips, I just want to add that telling people to calm down never works. They are upset for a reason, even if it’s a nonsensical one.

If you happen to become the lighting rod for someone else’s anger it helps to remind yourself that they are not actually upset with you personally. You just happen to be caught in it.

Sometimes it is possible to use empathy to align yourself with them by agreeing that this situation is upsetting, validating their feelings. In the end they will have to deal with their feelings, you can’t do that for them. All you can do is move out of the way and maybe redirect it. In this situation you could say: yes this sucks. I’m very sorry, I wish I could help you, but I will lose my job if I try. These regulations are there to protect our patients, but sometimes they get in the way. Unfortunately I cannot do anything about that. If I could I would.

In the end this might or might not work to redirect their anger. How they deal with their anger is out of your control. That also means it is not your responsibility and you don’t need to take it to heart personally.

I’ve been looking forward to continue Jujutsu Kaisen, but I can hardly remember season 1. It seems to have been overwritten by Chainsaw Man and Demon Slayer in my head.

Watching season 2 was a bit confusing at first, especially because it’s about events that happen before season 1. But now I’m wondering what I ever liked about the series. The characters are bland, the abilities and powers feel inconsistent. But most damning of all is the constant exposition. Every fart has to be explained by a character and it’s somehow simultaneously unnecessarily complicated and boring. But the animation is great!

On the upside I gave Pluto on Netflix another shot. The first time I bounced off it after the first 15min. This time I made it through the first episode, which didn’t quite hook me either. But after hearing so much praise about it, I immediately went into episode 2 and finally got it. Reminded me of sci-fi classics like Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner. And of Watchmen, the comic in particular. Haven’t finished it yet, but would also highly recommend it to anyone interested in dense, philosophical sci-fi!

Here in Germany it depends on the region. But even within one region it can be different from friend group to friend group.

I grew up in southern Germany with handshake as default greeting. Except women often get a hug instead. If you know someone well it’s more likely to greet with a hug with men grasping each other’s hand before a short hug and slap on the back. However, if you see them a lot you might just give them a nod. On the others hand id you haven’t seen them in a while they get a hug.

In East Germany, where I live now, it seems to be much more common to hug your friends. Interestingly some will put their head on the right, reaching with their left hand over your shoulder. Which can be very awkward, when you are used to the opposite and almost kiss.
