  • 40 was stupidly high and rare and now it’s still stupidly high but less rare and people very much still complain about it, 30 wasn’t super rare my entire life and i still complain about anything over 25 lol.

    Local weather doesn’t mean much anyway, hottest 2 weeks on earth and where I live has been mostly pretty chill with 2 days that were actually hot (and those still only went to like 31). Pretty much the way i remember summer commonly being a while ago.

    And just to be clear i am in no way trying to pretend climate change isn’t real, it’s real and we’re all royally fucked, but 30° really isn’t anything new and also saying “it was 40 degrees for a week” on its own doesn’t really say more than “global warming can’t be real it was -10 last week”.


  • G2A isn’t more fraudulent than other marketplaces, if someones selling a game for less than any official retailer it’s likely to involve fraud. G2A and Kinguin are just the biggest ones.

    Regional pricing is the alternative to it being cc fraud, which I’m pretty sure still qualifies as fraud but since the publisher doesn’t lose money from it it’s kinda whatever. But many games are now region locked and still show up on these sites, I sure wonder why.







  • The nazis absolutely came first for the communists, as that was literally part of their rise to power, blaming the communists for the Reichtagsbrand and jailing members of the KPD and SPD so they couldn’t vote against the proposal to give the NSDAP full control.

    Alternatively, the NSDAPs founding program 10 years earlier contained “revocation of the german citizenship of jews” as a main point, though they didn’t have the ability to do much at the time.

    I’m confused too, self checkout is the best thing ever, no social interaction and pretty much equally fast, while allowing for more checkouts in the same amt of space. Though tbf only if done properly. One store here started having them like 10 years ago and there was like a 10% chance each item that you’d have to call over an employee bc the scale didn’t work. Haven’t had any problems with the ones i encountered recently.


  • …because that’s how language works?

    If someone shows me a person and asks if that person is a woman, it will depend on “whether i perceive them as a woman in that moment”

    If we’re talking about gender as a social concept in society, a woman is “a person the majority perceives as a woman”

    If we’re talking about one’s identity, a woman is simply “someone who perceives themselves as a woman”

    If we’re talking about genetics, a woman is a person with 2 x chromosomes, if we’re talking about primary sex characteristics, a woman is a persob with a vagina (or do we wanna limit it to having had one from birth? Both yes and no answers might be relevant depending on the context), etc.

    even if you take gender out of the picture entirely and pretend like someone who looks like a woman, sounds like a woman, behaves like a woman somehow isn’t a woman, you’d still need context to define it.

    It’s also a question that I have never fucking asked myself in my life in a general sense, because it’s utterly irrelevant except in very specific contexts.





  • Preface: am not trans, but have thought about and read many things from transppl about everything going on in their heads bc its still sth i struggle with

    This will also vary based on the individual, and there’s probably at least one transperson out there that doesn’t care. But for those that do, I’d think it comes down to it being one more aspect where they’re put into a box they really don’t feel like they belong in. Something that on its own would likely not be a big deal, but if you’re already trying to 1) get away from everything your birth sex has confined you to and 2) try to feel as close to your actual gender as possible in every day life, it can make a difference.

    Really I’m just confused why bathrooms are gender seperated in the first place though, we have stalls for a reason?


  • So I didn’t quite try it to switch, rather installed linux to dualboot specifically because one game had lag issues on windows, and ultimately there are just 2 things keeping me from making linux the main and windows the backup.

    One is game compatibility, while linux has come a long way it’s simply more convenient to be on windows which can effectively run everything (even if there are a few more performance issues at times).

    The other is that I couldn’t find a DE of which I liked the look that could handle high refresh rate monitors properly. LXDE works for my purpose and I think it looks ok, but by design it just doesn’t feel as nice to use as windows.

    Hated gnomes UX, liked KDE but it couldn’t handle my monitor. Wouldn’t wanna bother with trying many more options unless I actually know it will work with my hardware.




  • I have tried like 5 different vegan meat things now and they ranged from bad (the times they involved cheese, my god vegan cheese sucks) to “ok, but would rather just eat something that is vegan without trying to be fake meat.”

    Is there any particular type of product that’s good? Brands will probably only help if you’re also in germany, but maybe fake chicken is just the wrong fake meat to buy.
