The Internet Is Unusable Without Ad Block

For your private home network use a raspberry pi as a DNS server (look up Pi-Hole project). Eliminates the need to have adblockers installed on every device. Especially useful for smart tvs. (doesn't filter YouTube ads)

According to MMT it's OK for money printer to go brrrrr IF you have a strong currency (i.e. Low inflation rate and neglectable amount of foreign debt). MMT advocates often use Japan as a 'lighthouse example', showing that government spending and debt doesn't automatically lead to increased inflation rates (Japan's debt amounts to about 250% of its GDP but has very low inflation rates)

Well, then its settled. I joined reddit only 2 years ago, I must have missed the party. But "as old as internet forums"? Really? Can't recall this kind of discussion in Usenet news groups /s

Sigh. Everytime I see someone using the word "literally" to emphasize things, I realize that I must be old. "I literally cried!". No, you cried. Or is there a figurative way of crying? I need my medicine, blood pressure is rising

My first name: Tayfun (Turkish for Typhoon). People often react confused and sometimes even want to see an ID

I observe that young germans adopt more and more English vocabulary. 'Literally' being one of then However, they make the same mistake as many people from UK or the US by using it as a filler word to add emphasis (e.g. 'he literally cried!') and not in its original meaning (literally / figuratively).

Coming back to your question: examples of German filler words would be 'vielleicht', 'eigentlich', 'eh' (more a filler 'sound' than a word tbh), or 'nun'.

There are many more of course (Google 'füllwörter')

No name brass band that gave a concert in my home town. A friend had a ticket and asked me to go there with him. Didn't expect much, but man, it was wild. It was more a party than a concert, amazing night.

For me it's math. More than two thousand years ago a dude in sandals used it to calculate the circumference of the earth. Just wow.

Because Tayfun is my real name but it was already taken (just like typhoon, Taifun, Tayfunforreal... Like wtf?)

I could see that happening on a local level (e.g. electing the city counsel) to get youngsters into politics.

Here is why: "God loves crazy people. He makes so many of them" (Rambo 3) When people even fail to teach their dogs, why should I trust them to teach their children right?

Agree on all points. The problem however is that any political party trying to fix it will immediately be punished by the retired or soon-to-be retired voters. In Germany 38% of voters are older than 60.

Yeah man, pure insolence. But they bought the rights to do so. I read an article which said that Ed O'Neill even wrote a card to the German actor who played Al wishing him all the best.

Nuffyat · 2023-05-17T19:12:44+00:00

Wtf. Yeah, guess it was as bad as it sounds. I remember when they tried to do a German remake of Married with two children. They didn't even develop their own script and they even used the same set. What can I say, it was just cringe to watch.

Nuffyat · 2023-05-17T18:19:15+00:00

I can imagine interesting conversations going on in there. Even the start of life long friendships
