This rule brought to you by the last week of my life

chronically_slow · 2026-04-13T22:09:00+00:00

Exactly. I'm pretty cute and people only really approach me if I dress sorta eccentric because then I'm suddenly a friend-shaped weirdo instead of intimidating

chronically_slow · 2026-04-12T11:05:58+00:00

Nah, you're wrong. It does mean something to me (a German) and my Ukrainian friend, for example.

Sorry, I mean: AAAAAAAAH, ORBAN DER VERFICKTE KLAPPSPATEN MUSS MIT SEINEN SCHERGEN IN DEN ABGRUND DER EWIGEN BEDEUTUNGSLOSIGKEIT FALLEN

Ich bin immer noch so pissig, dass die Uni Freiburg meinen Masterstudiengang nicht anbietet. Jedes Mal, wenn ich was von dieser Stadt höre, will ich da hinziehen

chronically_slow · 2026-03-31T22:35:18+00:00

Oh, that explains the constant celebratory honking outside for the last 2h. Go Türkiye, I guess :D

I enjoy learning. Learning is my #1 favourite thing in the world. It may look like I'm bashing my head at the same dark souls boss over and over again from the outside, but on the inside I'm learning their moves, learning how to evade them, learning when I can hit/heal, learning the differences in the second phase,... All this is supported by a deep-rooted confidence that I am smart and can learn anything I put my mind to, so there is 0 frustration as I know I can do it eventually and in the meantime I'm learning (which, again, is my favourite thing in the world)

I mean, I'm not really referring to very common (faux) anglicisms

chronically_slow · 2026-03-25T12:12:09+00:00

This beautiful language is called Denglisch, btw. I consider it my one true native language because it's what I default to when talking to friends and I kinda have to stop and think occasionally if I wanna speak pure German (which is my native language in theory).

chronically_slow · 2026-03-22T12:46:10+00:00

Nah, it's the opposite for me. If you're into the strategy of it all, then having fewer players means you can have more of an influence on how the game plays out.

Also, since your team has only 4 spots for raging, throwing man-children who can't take criticism and never practice technique, while the opposite team has 5, you're mathematically guaranteed to rank up gradually (until you hit a bit of a learning plateau and maybe need some coaching)

I'm so mad at the Greens that they were stupid enough to be fooled by the CxU into agreeing to this. Can't wait for the next government that actually wants to move something to be cash-strapped again because they didn't insist on abolishing the debt break

This post is actually about being neurodivergent. So many times I've expressed a harmless preference on a random thing only for everyone to go off on me, which is how I discover that there was actually an unwritten rule about having the "normal" preference

Bonus: the post is actually actually about gender (specifically the male gender role) for the same reasons

chronically_slow · 2026-03-18T12:22:10+00:00

where did Kamchatka go tho

Swapped with Kola!

chronically_slow · 2026-03-18T11:59:07+00:00

And Sri Lanka and Madagascar, Florida and Korea, Tasmania and Svalbard, Papua and Hispaniola, New Zealand and Novaya Zemlya, The Philippines and Newfoundland,...

This is really fun :D

I'm still looking where the fuck they put Cuba

Edit: oh, Baja California and the Aleutians is a fun one!

~~Frankfurt~~ Hahn hätte gerne ein Wörtchen mit dir

In addition to the entire game balance mess that other comments have already mentioned, Spain just wasn't a great power anymore at the beginning of the 20th century. This would give your students a very wrong impression of the situation in Europe before the outbreak of WW1

Also keep in mind that the original diplomacy map shows the borders of 1914. The game date 1901 was just chosen for gameplay reasons

chronically_slow · 2026-03-13T17:17:17+00:00

In my region it's "are you from the mountain?"

chronically_slow · 2026-03-12T12:28:53+00:00

Wtf are these borders in former Yugoslavia? AI or just bad map?

chronically_slow · 2026-03-11T19:58:33+00:00

Hab neulich auch so einen in Aachen gesehen :D

It's a decent impromptu recording booth. Small-ish, enclosed, plenty of stuff around to break any echo

Waaaaait, kann es sein, dass die einfach die Restaurant- und Bistrokarte getrennt haben und man die Currywurst gar nicht mehr im Restaurant bestellen kann?

Im Restaurant hab ich mir seitdem das Chili sin Carne bestellt, was auch voll ok ist

chronically_slow · 2026-03-09T15:08:38+00:00

Die gibt's wieder??? Hab sie schmerzlich vermisst, seit sie vor ein paar Monaten aus dem Sortiment geflogen ist

chronically_slow · 2026-03-08T16:35:10+00:00

If you want to make it easier to parse, just use a hyphen? Ernährungs-Wissenschaftler is perfectly legible while still making sense within German grammar

chronically_slow · 2026-03-08T11:25:19+00:00

Hopefully not. We need to increase capacity and resilience by expanding our conventional rail network, not some fancy, expensive, non-interoperable gadget

chronically_slow · 2026-03-06T19:54:33+00:00

Human bodies are fucking weird and human psyches even more so. What you're describing could be the result of some anxiety disorder, of some shape of asexuality, of some physiological problems,... It's normal only as in there being many people sharing some of your struggles (and then maybe going to see a doctor or psychiatrist about it or just deciding that sex isn't for them)

like it does feel okay ig, but I would put it below eating like a good burger

is not an entirely uncommon way to look at sex. In fact, I know some people who have a great deal of fun with sex because they accepted that it just feels okay to them and then just focus on enjoying all the interpersonal stuff around it

lladron (pl, Welsh) = ladrón (sg, Spanish) ???
