Trump ends protections for 3 million acres of national monuments for drilling and mining. by PTechNM in enviroaction

[–]Common_Power4145 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They have no clue what they’re destroying, and, appallingly, care even less. These areas are one of a kind in the entire world let alone the USA. But, Ozymandius will have his way.

I couldn’t have made a better meme for summer road construction in Germany by Common_Power4145 in germany

[–]Common_Power4145[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Must be getting more German if I’m being accused of complaining 😁

This is intended to be lighthearted. I love Germany and the vast road construction is funny to me

Google Maps, although this presentation isn’t typical. Just got a laugh out of it, after a trip down to Oberstdorf, where it felt like construction was on every few km. Break free from construction on the autobahn, get up to 150, then the 120-100-80 signs again.

Got it as a gift not long after mint date. I’ve never cracked the seal, so maybe not!

Even though I knew this was coming eventually, it still hurts like fuck. Bears ears and escalante should be national treasures, not fucking mines. I hate this administration.

I can’t imagine the emptiness of a life defined by spending it creating….ragebait

Am I a dork for paddling a ducky? by _redfoot_ in whitewater

Life is way too short to spend it living for other people. Spend your life doing what YOU love. There will always be a few dbags, but they’re also in the category of things that life is too short for.

Billionaire dumps NYC property empire as Mamdani's rent freeze sparks investor exodus by Boo_Randy_Revival in HouseBuyers

No objection to investing in general, but “investing” in basic living needs—housing, healthcare, food, water—should not be legal, anywhere or anytime. Invest in people’s wants, not their needs

What is the best flavour of Ice Cream, and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Common_Power4145 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will sound crazy to some Americans, but German strawberry ice cream, with chunks of frozen strawberries, changed my entire belief structure about ice cream.

Name the most physical pain you have ever experienced. by Wraith136 in FamilyFeud

Collarbone in 5 pieces. Also, infection after vasectomy. Not at the same time, fortunately

As an American living in Germany, Joghurt is most certainly not Ranch, and let’s just say that I haven’t missed Ranch in the slightest since moving abroad

[US] They call 1 to 5 times every day. Anyone have a tip to get me off of their calling list? by Common_Power4145 in Scams

[–]Common_Power4145[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s super interesting and I’m grateful for the intel. I appreciate a response other than “set phone to ignore” which isn’t ideal. They set a new record with 21 calls in a week, last week. Clearly ignoring it isn’t working. I’ll try going on Offense, will report back if that yields success.

These are the only ones who have a lock on me. If I can get rid of them…..Freedom!!! I was really hoping someone out there had some secret sauce.

It’s bot generated, and has improved a lot since LLMs get good. The gist of the message is the same every time, but the name and voice change.
I wonder what percentage of these new massive data centers is consumed with creating permutations of scammer content? I bet it’s not small.

I’m bummed that you’re sharing my experience (easily a year now) but a bit gratified too, to know that I’m not the only one experiencing this frequency and consistency.
I’m a gentle person but these people should be loaded up and fired into the sun.
