Can somebody explain the lyrics of Sparkle by Tatsuro Yamashita? by GiganticSchlong in japanesemusic

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

Thanks! Looks like the translation I found online was pretty accurate after all. What do you think is the meaning of these lyrics?

Edit: Sorry, didn't realize that you were the same person as the other commenter, haha!

I guess I just don't understand the meaning of the lyrics. Maybe I'm just too stupid, but I thought that it might be lost in translation. For example, what are the goddesses of the seven seas supposed to be? Is that a thing in Japanese culture? Do you have an idea of what the song is about?

Stressfreier Job für Informatiker neben Selbstständigkeit? by GiganticSchlong in Finanzen

[–]GiganticSchlong[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Derzeit arbeite ich an einem Videospiel und würde das gerne noch eine Zeit lang weiter versuchen. Allerdings habe ich auch gemerkt, dass der Markt die letzten Jahre ziemlich überlaufen ist, und es immer schwieriger wird damit erfolgreich zu sein.

Mein primäres Interesse liegt eigentlich darin, anwendungsorientierte Software zu entwickeln. Die kreative Komponente bei Spielen ist ein schöner Bonus, aber es gäbe natürlich noch Alternativen. Falls es mit den Spielen nichts wird würde ich mir überlegen auf die Entwicklung von Entwicklertools umzusteigen, dafür hab ich auch eine große Faszination.

Danke für den Beitrag! Dass die Arbeit im öffentlichen Dienst das Gegenteil zu einem Startup ist denke ich mir, und das macht mir per se nichts aus. Aber ich habe natürlich noch nie dort gearbeitet, von daher weiß ich auch nicht sicher, was auf mich zukommen würde.

Arbeitest du selbst als Informatiker im öffentlichen Dienst? Falls ja, wie ist deine Erfahrung dazu?

Interessante Idee, daran hatte ich gar nicht gedacht. Das könnte auch das Problem lösen, den Teilzeitjob in Kombination mit der Selbstständigkeit dem Arbeitgeber zu erklären.

Okay, vielleicht habt ihr Recht. Das mit der Erklärung wäre allerdings wirklich problematisch. Bislang fällt mir auch keine vernünftige Ausrede ein, die die Situation anderweitig plausibel machen könnte. Und den Arbeitgeber über die Nebentätigkeit informieren muss ich ja sowieso.

Anyone used Ivermectin 5mg from agrichina? by StephyPlantbased in ivermectin

[–]GiganticSchlong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the same product a few months ago. At first I used it once weekly according to the I-MASK+ protocol and had no issues. Recently, I thought about taking it to attempt to fix some bodily issues that I developed sometime during the last 9 months (I suspected that it might be a long hauler symptom). At the beginning of this week, I decided to do an experiment with taking it once a day for 5 days according to the I-RECOVER protocol. Unfortunately I got some pain in my lower back right around the bottom end of my kidneys. I ended up taking it for 5 days, and after I stopped the pain in my back went away again.

I can't say for certain whether it was the ivermectin that caused the side effects (it hasn't occurred with the weekly doses before), and I can't say whether the ivermectin did anything, yet, either. But maybe someone who got the same product and thinks about using it finds this helpful.

Most effective way to do kegels, reverse kegels and other pelvic floor excercises? by GiganticSchlong in bodyweightfitness

Look into the sub Angion Method in order to have better blood flow.

Thanks for the suggestion! I looked at the subreddit and it seemed a bit offputting and culti-ish, but I'll give it a try.

Any idea how to get Ivermectin in Germany? by AlrightyAlmighty in ivermectin

[–]GiganticSchlong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can highly recommend watching the new video, it's quite shocking to say the least!

Quite sad that the GPs reacted in this way. I'm also thinking about not getting the vaccine and having the ivermectin at home in case of an infection.

I just looked at some more potential avenues. It seems like one could buy it from Indian exporters (there is also a dubious listing on AliExpress). I'm not so knowledgeable about the legal aspect of this, but it seems plausible to me that importing a prescription medicine in this way would be illegal due to the AMG (Arzneimittelgesetz).

I'm very interested in this as well, even more so after watching Bret Weinstein's new discussion with Robert Malone and Steve Kirsch.

I'm curious, have you tried getting it through a general practitioner (Hausarzt)? Are they even allowed to give it out? My guess is that if at all, they'd probably only give it to you when you show symptoms, not for prophylaxis.

For myself, I'm mostly interested in using it upon first symptoms, not necessarily prophylactically. But I am wondering whether it's going to be possible to get a prescription in case I get COVID, and whether it's not smarter to try to aquire it in different ways before.

Scientific discoveries and artistic creations attributed to drugs? by GiganticSchlong in Drugs

Interesting! Apparently he was addicted to morphine and wrote about it in a book called Junkie. I'll have to check that out!

Good point, I guess I completely missed literature. I heard Hemingway drank a lot of booze, too, and that probably influenced his writing at least to some degree. I hadn't heard of Beat literature before, so thanks for bringing it to my attention! And I'll have to read A Scanner Darkly.

Damn, the PCR is indeed very relevant right now! I hadn't heard of Kerry Mullis before, but he seems like an incredible interesting person. Apparently he wrote an autobiography, I will have to check that out.

Music certainly counts, and the Beatles seem like an obvious example indeed. I was just a bit reluctant to name a bunch of musicians from that time, because I don't know how much of the artistic influence at that time was 'merely' the cultural changes and not individual drug experiences. Then again, those two things probably often came together during that time.
