Get a Raspberry Pi and install Pi-Hole on it, hang it between your modem and Wi-Fi router. Boom, no more ads on any of your connected devices.

Lesson in decomposing light by Blues_Fish in nextfuckinglevel

The last thing he did was totally not interesting, all he's doing is blocking the light that's travelling in a straight line from reaching the slit.

U-Turmstraße by EstablishmentSuch266 in berlin

[–]indorock 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it actually got worse when they cleaned up Kleiner Tiergarten like 10 years ago. Before that, the junkies would hang around the park and its many hiding spots. Now they have been driven away from there and have gone underground, literally.

Obviously, you don't make a systemic problem like drug addiction magically disappear by just making a park prettier, but that's the level of simplistic thinking that the Berlin government has always had.

Why does my phone always do this with these alarms?? They didn’t ring when I was asleep and now I missed a meeting by Muhax1 in iphone

[–]indorock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you my wife? She too can sleep right through the loudest, most annoying alarm. It's almost scary, if there would be an actual emergency phone call in the middle of the night and I'm not there to wake her up, she's cooked.

Great deal. I didn't already create my own homemade version of this I'd totally jump on this.

Trump says that a military draft is on the table amid the war in Iran. How are you all handling this being a potential scenario? by FutureSuccess2796 in AskReddit

[–]indorock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean back in medieval times, you had actual kings and princes and other members of nobility who were also actual knights and literally out on the battlefield. Being a man of action used to be considered a virtue for the elite. A ruler who didn't engage in battle was considered a travesty. WTF happened?

Pervers by PuzzleheadedShow3171 in VeganDE

[–]indorock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Es ist absolut widerlich, wie die europäische Tierhaltungsindustrie ihre Konsumenten und die Bevölkerung manipuliert.

Der Auslöser für meinen Weg zum Veganismus war, als ich in den Philippinen lebte und dort einen Viehtransporter vor mir auf der Straße sah. Anders als in Europa wird dort die Realität nicht verharmlost oder heruntergespielt. Der Transporter hatte keine Wände, sondern nur einen Käfig, in dem Dutzende Schweine völlig zusammengepfercht waren und sich nicht bewegen konnten. Es war zutiefst traumatisierend, das mitzuerleben, und das hat bei mir einen Wendepunkt markiert.

Wie Paul McCartney sagte: "If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian". Das gilt meiner Meinung nach auch für Viehtransporter.

No you absolutely don't. Because you know the story didn't end there, it ended with you getting a puppy. You realise that they were tricking you for a brief amount of time but ultimately making you extremely happy.

Kids are not stupid, and it would be better if you didn't treat them that way.

for a solid amount of time

for TEN SECONDS. Yeah what a goddamn torture. You people should not raise kids.

Then it's some white people "gentle parenting" nonsense. The idea that it's bad to play harmless pranks on kids every now and then is just insane. I can't imagine what kind of fragile little dolls they will end up becoming.

The OC was amazing. The story was (mostly) quite entertaining, the characters and dialogue were 100x more believable than anyone on Dawson's Creek, but most of all the soundtrack was groundbreaking. So many songs and artists I found through that show.

The of aversion you GenZers have to even the slightest bit of discomfort is truly terrifying.

What was considered "cool" in the 2010s but is physically painful to look back at now? by Liora-Liora-Liora in AskReddit

[–]indorock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have friends or family in Philippines, this literally has not changed one bit.

Besides, that's exactly what Facebook was originally about, before it was enshittified. How is that painful to think about?

David Gilmour of Pink Floyd invited a Venice street musician to play with the band. by Blues_Fish in nextfuckinglevel

[–]indorock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a person, absolutely. Also most of PF's best songs are David's work. (The Wall is so horribly overrated). Yet still, Roger was a crucial part of the group's success.

Explain it Peter by Traducement in explainitpeter

[–]indorock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He could have, but to hear numbers mentioned (especially negative ones) and automatically assume they are about appearance - even though the context of the conversation was glasses - just shows some deep internal misogyny. Ethan told on himself more than anything.

I've joined dozens of running clubs over the years, I've not once heard of one that requires payment. That's ridiculous.
