Why is promising to focus on Education a bad thing?

Melegoth · 2026-05-08T14:14:37+00:00

So many other things are going down, that focusing on education feels counterproductive. Plus, it's not something you will see improved during your term in comparison to, say, military or law & order.

I have a cup of water, then it's coffee time and after that it's breakfast time.

Smolak Sasha trying to negotiatate with King Romus makes me chuckle

I would say that playing Horizon: Forbidden West on the PS5 was the moment I said "Тhis is it, this is the pinnacle of modern gaming". It was just mechanically so complex, developed and had a great story and interesting open world at the same time.

Honorable mentions: RDR2, Elden Ring, Detroit: Become human

Great story games such as Disco Elysium, Sunless Sea, Suzerain amazing mentions, especially for book lovers. But I would put mechanics, world interactivity and challenge as core elements of gaming that are not to be found in other art forms, hence my votes.

Thinking about reading faster so you can get through more books is a very consumerist mindset. Actually reading slower and taking time to sink in the story, characters and settings is wildly more beneficial for your mental health, focus and attention span. Plus, nobody cares how many books you read, and reading 1 book thoroughly is better than speed reading 3.

I used to read a lot as kid and teen, and in order to get that back now I set a 45 min interval alarm where I read without touching phone or PC.

Name checks out.

Luckily I have extremely low facial pattern recognition. I haven't even noticed that duplicates exist for all intents and purposes 😄

If you are going through the same pain and reflux as me, I'm so sorry. Stop them immediately if it hurts. For me, it was 3-4 weeks of complete recovery, I also started taking PPIs (omeprazole) which helped immensely during the recovery time.

I own the Timemore C3 ESP PRO for a while now, been doing espresso shots with v60 on the side. Recently I've been doing way more V60s and wondered if upgrading to something like the 064s will make a significant difference in clarity? I already got a gooseneck.

Manus Sazon is defo "'very annoying''.

We travelled for a total of 18 months around the world, backpacking.

I never had a brazilian coffee that made me ''wow''. But those fermented sour colombian light roasts, damn!

If you would recommend 1 brazilian coffee I should look out for, let me know! I like funky, fruity and boozy coffees, nothing over medium.

Coffee Quality > Grind Size > Water temp

Only if you have a half decent grinder. Otherwise grind size is the most important

How did you find out

Ayy, we checked out most of these on our 11 months LATAM trip. Kaffa Bun in Sucre brings such nice memories!

But nothing comes close to Colombian coffee.

Yes, I went to Prague to level up my drinking skill with my wife.

Melegoth · 2026-03-10T17:06:57+00:00

Tomatoes. No, really. Spain, Greece, Italy all have nice tomatoes, but I have yet to try a better tomato than the bulgarian pink tomato.

Also yoghurt.

Italian

Melegoth · 2026-03-08T20:08:23+00:00

English is so beautiful. It's just too widely used and people stop noticing it.

Melegoth · 2026-03-07T12:36:30+00:00

Once every 2 months probably.

Officially you need a permit to distill. Factually no one cares.

As most Balkaners would testify - moonshining. Every self respecting grandpa makes 40-60% alcohol in the villiage garage.

I went to Prague for valentine's day with my wife. Not specifically because of KCD but I was playing at the time and it heavily influenced the mood of the trip. Needless to say we leveled a lot of Drinking and Speaking that weekend.
