Both great books. Can’t remember too much about Foucaults Pendulum, but I really liked the explanation that you can bend mathematics too proof that every building, even a simple food stall on the street is aligned to the stars.

I’ve read it ages ago, have to pick it up and refresh my memory.

Patrick Dickinson. Some old bloke from UK goes on Hikes and does wildcamps overnight.

/r/kitchenconfidential is based and one of the few subs I really miss since I came here.

Make a comment saying „Luigi is good“ or something like that, that should get rid of your Reddit account.

William Gibson coined the term „Jackpot“ in his latest novels.

I normally don’t have a problem arguing coherently online. Talking however is a big issue sometimes.

It might help if you practise writing with a pen on paper. No backspace key, you have to think about what you write more thoroughly. That slows you down and helps over time to gather your thoughts. And if it turns out that you’ve written garbage, just turn to a blank page and start again.

Yes, absolutely! What books of him are you reading?

But at least people are revealing their true face

Yeah, like during COVID. My Mom always says at least you know now who’s crazy an who’s not.

Thanks mate!

I‘m german and I watch in real time how a fascist Gouvernement is taking over the US.

Sometimes I feel like I take crazy pills, when a friend of mine assures me that Donald Trump is just a business man who wants to help the country. Or when a good friend of mine who I considered sane and intelligent until this moment sends me a link to a J. D. Vance interview and tells me what a very smart guy this is.

It’s infuriating. And lonely. I think every American against this should be allowed to speak openly and participate. We have to work together, or we have lost already.

Hmm. Maybe

• „The myth of a strong leader“ by Archie Brown

I really like this one. It reads pretty modern and might give some insight how the situation in the US might evolve:

• „Berlin Diary“ by William L. Shirer

That one is a classic:

• „How to spot a fascist“ by Umberto Eco.

Stefan Zweig talks about the rise of the nazis and the beginning of Second World War in his memoirs for a bit:

• „The world of yesterday“ by Stefan Zweig.

Many freighters rent cabins for passage. No idea how expensive this is, tho.

German here. Those are still quite common on the countryside. My parents and my aunt have one, some neighbours too.

Sometimes you get the train, sometimes the train gets you.

On the other hand, I have problems with authority, keeping my mouth shut when I should, and don't intend to make it easy for people to get purged

In Nazi-Germany you probably would have been one of the first the Nazis took away. One strategy of them was to curbstomp immediately any defiance in the population. They were successful.

Under the Magas? Who knows, you might hold out a few years. My guess is about 3 years max, they’d want to consolidate before the coronation, erm, I mean the the next „election“.

That’s why you join an instance that defederated from the porn in the first place.

Just make an alt account on a nsfw server and you‘re golden.

I don’t expect it, but I don’t rule it out either.

Just a warning for everyone who isn’t worried: you expect that the leaders of the world act logically and like adults. That might be a mistake.

„They pay me so they don’t have to talk to you“

Awesome!

What? The article says basically just „fake news bad“ and you have to dig up the name Captain Beatty?

Holy overinterpretation, Batman!

My man!

Honestly, chilling on the couch with a cold beer during August sounds like living the life!
