In all fairness, he kind of lived his own version: started a company on his own, became successful, got pretty rich.

I said it before: those people are not conservative. They don’t want to conserve anything, they don’t want to caution against change or are stuck in their old ways.

Those people are reactionaries who want to return to a past that never really was, and fascists who think a strong leader will hurt the right people.

Don’t allow them to mask as moderates of any color. Don’t accept that being racist, sexist, corrupt and proudly admitting to be it are moderate, sensible, acceptable positions instead of radical extremist ones.

It feels weird to have nostalgia for a time when the corrupt politicians, morally questionable revolutionaries and war crime loving generalissimos of the world at least tried to look respectable on the surface. You know, speak in complete, reasonably complex sentences and all that.

Same here. If I want to read and argue politics, I click on main. If I want to pass some time and see funny images, I stay on subscribed.

Eben. Denkt doch auch mal an das CO2. Wo soll das denn noch hinführen, wenn die Konzentration weiter steigt! Dann brauche ich ja einen größeren Turbolader, nur um das zu kompensieren! Und wenn ich da alleine an den Abgasgegendruck denke!

Fair point. My last camping trip was in mid-temperature weather, and rather relaxed, so I basically lived off instant coffee and tea. Plus, the water was really clean, so in some cases I just risked filling my bottle from like the middle of a lake without treatment. But a filter is definitely on my to-buy list.

Reading this makes me realize how many people had really fucked up childhoods. I feel sorry for all of you, don’t give up hope for humanity, and choose (if you can) how to live your own life. There are better people out there.

No, the correct response is to tell that person to go fuck themselves. That is the worst kind of manipulation. I feel bad for you, using your brother’s tendencies against you is a ridiculous level of evil in my opinion. It depends on your brother and your relationship with him, of course. But I would be willing to bet that she does not go through with it.

Besides, that is a very un-nuanced threat: what would happen if you called biweekly? Would she half-kill herself? What if you made it every month?

I mean, everything that kills the bad stuff works. If you had a strong portable radioactivity source, that would probably work just fine, too. Sadly, the people at the airport don’t like it when I bring my enriched uranium to the camping vacation.

Jokes aside, I would say that chlorine tabs are nice for an emergency, but for a planned trip I’d assume I’d have access to heat anyway. Or, just bring a filter.

US right wingers when the invisible hand of the free markets somehow fails to un-pollute their rivers:

Imagine using the right product for the right job

$ sudo pagan ritual
sudo: pagan: command not found

PS: I am appropriately sad that I am a person that knows linux and not a person that visits moonlit naked dancing rituals. Meh, you can’t have it all.

I feel less old, thank you all :)

Some Acer laptop I got handed down, 300 MHz Celeron with 64 MB / 4 GB. Looking back, I can blame a lot of how I ended up on that PoS. I have fond memories of playing around with Win 9x and DOS on that thing, clumsily trying to keep it from breaking apart and my parents from taking it away.

The first computer I actually fully bought for myself was a shitty MSI “gaming” laptop with a first-gen i5. That proves that I learned nothing. It would overheat like crazy, the hinges broke after 2 years, had a custom Ati-Intel dual GPU setup that would not play nice with Linux… ah, memories…

Next one after that was a used Elitebook 2540, because I was done with shitty hinges.

If you want a stable future, I guess you would not pick that lifestyle. And if you worked for 5-6 years, taking a year off for personal reasons is not too unheard of. That is long enough to be trained, work productively and hand over your tasks to the next guy. Also, you could always make something up like “I had to help family members” or “I built a house/family member’s house” or whatever.

Interestingly, Hitler was pretty much constantly high at the end of the war. But he did write his manifesto while in jail, so he was not evil because he was on drugs, he just happened to be evil and then started drugs. Might explain some of the more stupid late war decisions.

As someone who infrequently enjoys recreational drugs, I disagree. There is a difference between a glass of wine on Friday evening and horse tranquilizer every morning.

1. “Seemingly unprovoked” does not mean unprovoked, but perceived as unprovoked

2. The post asked for how Jewish opinions, this reply tries to sum up what they hear. Don’t shoot the messenger.

Of course you can (and should, inho) disagree with the general opinion, fuck, they’ve been reelecting that absolute moron for how long?
