  • I don't think so, I will definitely go back and do not wish to move permanently in another instance.

    As others have said I think this instance has a strong base of dedicated users, it's a "specialized" instance that has no equivalent.

    • Would alcohol be as popular if it weren't a beverage?

    A mockumentary made by student filmmakers. The plot is that they are doing a documentary following the life of a serial killer.

    The dark humor of this movie is incredibly disturbing but it's really a movie to watch.

  • I went to the casino with friends around 12 years ago. We agreed to get a few coins (around 20€ or so) at the beginning, play them and leave once we run out of coins.

    So now I can never go in a casino again ! I have a perfect record, I've always won against the casino and I intend to keep it this way my whole life.
