Fun fact chairs are male in German (Der Stuhl)

Its Monday and I’m feeling rather ok so 2

Unfortunately many US grocery stores geo block the EU :/

Probably because of privacy laws? I guess I could use a VPN but asking here was easier / more fun.

Yes. If you fail to market your ideas in that time then it’s your fault. Don’t hold back society due to your failure.

Your system makes even ideas capital which I strongly object to.

Another point of view: A company like Disney should not be able to have an almost perpetual monopoly on highly influential culture, like Star wars, etc.

Fuck intellectual property in it’s current state. As it is now it mostly benefits corporations instead of small creators anyways.

Terms of protection should be shorter. Way shorter than the life of the author + x years.

Erm. In what world do you live that the precedent in your expression is right?

In all languages and countries I know multiplication binds more strongly than addition. So what you wrote would be

n^2 - n - 2n - 3n…

Also ich würde behaupten, dass es in der Tat nicht sehr cool ist einfach in einer anderen Sprache zu antworten.

You probably have a skewed impression. This is common in some places like Germany, but it’s far from the norm. (Even in Germany it’s mostly telecom that does it for some reason.)

Many ISPs only change the allocated IP only in cases like lost connections and some don’t even do that giving out but not guaranteeing static IPs.

Bias will always remain. I mean what would it even mean to be absolutely unbiased.

There is no such thing as an unbiased text corpus.

EA? Why, what happened? Is it truly the end of time?!

No but seriously, does someone know what the motivation is?

Fair enough, I think yours is also a valid interpretation.

I just want to clarify: with “just be happy” energy, I meant the tendency of people to suggest seemingly simple fixes to others struggling with mental health. Even, if they work for oneself and even if it works statistically (for example sport is a good habit against depression), it feels like talking the problem down. But that is highly subjective of course.

Ok, what do you mean by checking myself first?

I just commented on how I personally perceived the comic. I also said that I believe that the comic was made with good intentions.

Ultimately, I am just someone on the Internet. I have no illusion that my comments here matter. Though, I do have first and second hand experience with depression and suicide if that matters, which it does not.

And yes in many ways I am extremely privileged when it comes to this topic, e.g. my healthcare insurance is not tied to my employer as I don’t live in the US. I would like to know how that has anything to do with my comment above though.

What do you mean with “they just don’t want to”?

Quitting your job, potentially losing your shelter and food supply is a hell of a risk. Presume one actually wants to get better, they first need to be well enough to handle such a risk. Otherwise, they are homeless and suicidal: A great recipe to get well /s

I do believe this was made with best intentions but it has major “just be happy” energy and is made from a position of privilege.

Just getting a therapist for example is a huge battle. Having supportive friends is not ubiquitous. Changing jobs is risky and in certain financial circumstances almost impossible, especially with dependents.

That said I approve of the message that without living there is no possibility of things getting better. My advice is to focus on small maybe even tiny victories daily making lifestyle changes where possible.

Nope. Almost every day I learn something new.

I have the same but with the whole home directory.

Why? I like combustion noises

What other games would you describe as “clunky older games”?

I was in the gym two days ago. It was leg day. My butt actually hurts :(
