Imagine if you broke down

soo just another Tuesday? 🥲

It will happen, probably in weeks to months.

in the next few years, like, very few

Now who's moving the goalposts..?

Even "down time" doesnt really feel like down time because I am stuck between either boredom, working on yet another thing or thinking about things in general.

Oh man, I feel this so much. Most of my hobbies are somewhat work-like so while I enjoy them, they're not really relaxing. And I can't really "do nothing"

I recently tried to find out whatever happened to it, couldn't find anything beyond the announcement that it would happen.

Foolish me for thinking no-one could possibly need an /s on that comment.

I got the sarcasm, but this particular point is – as you've demonstrated very clearly in your response – the actual message you're trying to push.

Or did you not know that highly addictive amphetamines is a commonly prescribed for ADHD?

You're using "highly addictive" to insinuate that this is just a ludicrous and fundamentally flawed practice. No concern towards all of those who do have ADHD who report that medication has helped them live a life otherwise inaccessible to them. It's highly stigmatizing framing and just because you have a valid point about opioids does not mean you get to dismiss genuine mental health struggles as having fallen prey to a marketing scheme.

the real breakthrough has been convincing everyone that they have some sort of mental health issue that requires pharmaceuticals. The entire country is taking something, and that's been a huge help in keeping people docile.

I was with you up until that point. You point out that the poor are made to fight each other and then you engage in a fight against the disadvantaged who need medical assistance? Fuck this science denying, ableist bullshit.

I haven't read it but it's a terrible idea.

"Yeah sure I don't know what I'm talking about, but here's my strong opinion anyways"

Agree with your point, but man I didn't realize 60k was considered "scraping by" now

Not this particular picture. The ad is for a funeral service in Berlin but the station depicted is Hamburg Messehallen. Though I think there are real pictures of ads like this from within Berlin.

Interesting & quite a cool visualization!
I am on day 7 of symptoms right now, also just got it after dodging it for almost four years. My fever has subsided but boy am I congested still. I'm just glad the massive headaches are gone, I couldn't think straight for a while.

On the other hand, I've been wearing FFP2 masks in all indoor spaces religiously and I've been planning to keep doing it until I got covid (my masks didn't fail me in the end either, I got it from a household member), and at this point I am genuinely excited to finally not be the outsider anymore and feel more normal again.

While at the same time closing all PRs indiscriminately, even the ones that are just trying to update the repo from its decades old JavaScript syntax (and get support in the comments)

Grammar aside, it's an odd choice to fill up half the page with 747s if you want to showcase the variety of commercial passenger airplanes.

Stadler (sic)

?

I did read the post (well done btw), but I guess I must have missed that. And here I thought I was a comedic genius

Actually the correct answer is clearly 0.2609 if you follow the order of operations correctly:

6/2(1+2)
= 6/23
= 0.26

Here in Germany everyone I know pronounces the letters individually – as German letters that is, which means the Q is pronounced "coo" rather than "cue". I don't mind it, it's not quite as clunky as in English.

I do say sequel when speaking English though.

Hamas are not in the West Bank

It's not "considered trendy", your understanding of communism – an economic system – is just conflated with authoritarianism – a political system. You can advocate for one without advocating for the other.

That said, capitalism also leads to the deaths of millions, but somehow that's just an unquestionable fact of life.

Yeah, but even that is stretching it for a work email unless there is a concrete reason you'd be concerned, like you know they're dealing with stuff. Otherwise – at least in my northern German circles – that's already getting pretty personal

Yeah I mean you can translate it literally, but it means nothing. The English equivalent of what it communicates in German would be more like "I hope this email gets delivered to you." which is just a weird thing to say.
