The greed goes deep. It’s funny that micro transactions hardly ever were micro. If it’s was a few cents for a pure cosmetic item I might even do that from time to time, but take the discord cosmetics 50ct I might buy sth blinky, but they want 5-10€ for that shit
I’m in my mid 40s and when I was that age let’s say in the mid 90s there were hardly any digital cameras and the image doesn’t look like a scan… So it’s day here is in his mid thirties. Know your memes says the picture is from 2009, so that roughly matches.
Some potatoes are simply too hot.
I remember typing a whole afternoon with a friend just so the screen did alternate colors, it was so underwhelming I think that killed any spark that I might have had for programming.
Mark Twain wrote an essay about The awful German language
Yes, the problem to me is manly the feeling (or fact) that we are running into an existential crisis that can and probably will decimate large amounts of the global population and instead of pulling together, people are running into the arms of demagogues and extremists that tell them we are great it’s the others that are bad and we don’t have to change anything about our way of life. Plus every other nation claims little islands or other countries areas… we won’t get anywhere if this won’t change
I know that once adblockers won’t work anymore I will simply avoid YouTube.
I doubt that, I would think it’s like xenophobia it’s usually the strongest in pretty homogenous areas.
You could find stuff, it was often a very tedious process though. You searched for: thing XYZ doesn’t work and found a lot of of forums with posts of people who had the same problem and with a bit of luck you found a two years old entry with an answer that actually worked for you. Now it’s 20 results from the company that created the product you have a problem with but offers no solution at all.
They look like this here in Germany, sure there was the brexit but do you really have s different version?
The only movie I ever walked out was Brother Bear. Maybe I was already to old (26ish) but that was too cringy and kitschy for me.
Well the thing is we need to get away from individual transportation if we transform all ice cars to ev we won’t really solve the problems we are facing…
Well for me it works and I have most of my people on either Signal or threema though threema is getting slowly obsolete
It’s doable we are not in the kindergarten and school groups we might miss a few things but worked so fast for us. And I convinced both my job teams to use Signal
I’m not like that but sometimes I throw two or three things on top of everything and everything gets clean. My only problem with her organization is it’s not efficient, the machine would hold double the amount of dishes
Our son had a pseudo-croup attack, when he was about two. We have a number here in my country that you can call and they try to figure out your next steps. Since he was so young they pretty quickly told us to call an ambulance. Two paramedics came fairly quick and ordered an emergency doctor to the scene since they wanted to give him some medication they couldn’t give him on their own.
We were a little apologetic because we weren’t sure if calling them was warranted. But they were super nice and said we shouldn’t worry, it was their job and they’d rather drive to cases like this, were things go well then the other way round.
We gave them our insurance card, they left, and everything was fine.
Never in the whole process have I thought, oh my, I hope this isn’t going to cost too much. That is an awful thought. Our medical system here is far from perfect and I fear it’s going to get worse but it gives me a piece of mind that I don’t have to worry to go broke over it.
And the way families are insured really works well. You work and all your children and your partner (if they don’t work) are insured through you. No changes in payment, no questions (apart from: are they earning any money) asked.
Imagine you couldn’t try new things how stale or diet would be today.
