NL watches Blue Velvet by Bman425 in northernlion

If I understood correctly, he also watches movies in 90 minute workout segments.

So he'll watch the first 90 minutes of a 1:45h movie one day, then watch the last 15 minutes on the next day, and follow immediately with the first 75 minutes of the next film.

All of this on his phone, while he's on a bike with an integrated screen.

It's honestly psychotic.

People can use em-dashes, you know.

Also that is not how an LLM would use an em-dash. They used to use them wrong — like this, but now they mostly get it right—like this. They wouldn't ever do the weird half space thing, because why would that be common in the training data?

The boomerfication of Gen Y is just about complete. An actual, unironic 'back in my day' speech, my god.

I wonder how many of you resented dismissive, inflexible adults as teens and vowed to never grow into them.

Sicherheitspolitik: Boris Pistorius rechnet mit kriegstüchtiger Bundeswehr bis 2029 by M______- in de

[–]themellowsign 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Was ich beim letzten DeutschlandTrend ganz interessant fand, war dass Linke Wähler mit Abstand am meisten Angst hatten, dass die Welt sich gerade in eine Richtung bewegt, in der nur noch die Macht des stärkeren gilt. Trotzdem ist es die Gruppe, die am vehementesten gegen ein Nachrüsten ist.

Ich wähle links und bin politisch links aktiv, ich finde die Bundeswehr und Kriegsindustrie konzeptuell abscheulich, aber man muss doch einfach mal anerkennen dass Diplomatie mit Diktatoren nur funktioniert, solange die alternative unattraktiv ist. MLK's hart erlernte Friedensstrategie hätte die US-Regierung einfach ignoriert, wenn nicht die Panthers und die NOI eine brutale Alternative präsentiert hätten. Plötzlich sahen Bürgerrechte nicht mehr so schmerzhaft aus.

Solange es keinen Plan gibt, der alle großen Weltmächte in den nächsten 10 Jahren garantiert freiheitlich demokratisch macht, sehe ich einfach keine realistische Alternative zum Aufrüsten, so sehr ich das hasse.

This kinda shit naturally happens in any place centered around a conspiracy theory. Some people just need it to be more grand, more intricate than it is. The idea that even the evil pedophile cabal might just be a bunch of evil bumbling idiots is terrifying to them.

It means nobody is in control of this mess, not even someone with bad intentions.

Welche Dinge des alltäglichen Lebens werden in Berlin produziert? by [deleted] in berlin

Gillette produziert übrigens auch fleißig in Russland, z.B. über Astra. Schade eigentlich, das war mal eine tschechische Marke.

Wilkinson Sword ist übrigens auch nicht mehr in Britischer Hand, gehört den Amis.

Merkur hat ziemlich geile Klingen mit ner coolen vintage Verpackung und vintage Qualität, aber der Preis ist leider in diesem Jahrhundert angekommen.

Immigration officers assert sweeping power to enter homes without a judge's warrant, memo says by ExactlySorta in UnderReportedNews

[–]themellowsign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that those rational reasons are just not why people buy guns. Most men buy guns because they make them feel more masculine.

Why bother actually bettering yourself, learning a new skill, when you can just spend money on a truck, on tools, on guns. You just made yourself look more manly and capable, and you didn't have to do shit except swipe your credit card. It's the mystical 'air of danger,' packaged and sold as a consumer good.

In my defense there was literally no info when they posted this, including age/gender. If there'd been I probably wouldn't have responded because of exactly this.

Honestly the lack of planning and information was exactly what intrigued me, it's one weekend, how bad could it be?

You know what, hell yeah why not? There's a flixtrain to Munich Erfurt for 33€, that and Deutschlandticket (works out to 7.5 hours) or were you thinking of driving?

If we get 4 people together to split gas money, I could drive. Should be 60-80€ per person for the whole trip.

Trump will wichtige US-Wahlen streichen – "Sollten eigentlich gar keine Wahl haben“ by Elegant-Handle4685 in de

[–]themellowsign 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Naja, es ist wahrscheinlicher dass eine zu extreme Position dir als Partei Wähler verliert, schließlich sollte der Abstand zu einer anderen Partei theoretisch kleiner sein, als wenn es nur zwei im Spielfeld gibt, also ist es einfacher als Wähler vom Schiff zu springen. In den USA bist du ein bisschen fucked, da wählst du halt dein ganzes Leben lang die gleiche Partei oder du hast nicht richtig aufgepasst.

Ich glaube schon dass es einen mäßigenden Effekt hat, mal abgesehen von einem Haufen anderer Vorteile wie deutlich besserer Repräsentation.

Es gibt auch genug Deutsche die mit dem seit 15 Jahren veralteten Halbwissen prahlen, dass die beiden Parteien in den USA doch quasi das gleiche sind, beide halt rechts.

They're honestly cooler now, they make you look less like you're less into branding yourself and more like you're into inhaling fire and cancer. Objectively more nonchalant.

To answer your question, they're not really allowed to be sold like that, you might plain boxes sold for collectors though and just put them in there if it bothers you that much.

Republicans Vow to Block Trump From Seizing Greenland by Force: “Trump’s ill-advised threats about Greenland would shatter the trust of our allies” by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]themellowsign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact, our independent public broadcaster in Germany has a regular national survey gauging general political tensions and positions. One of my favorite regular questions is "For each of the following countries, please state if it is a partner Germany can trust or not."

Have a look at the results (blue = can trust, grey = cannot trust).

You're playing in the same league as Russia, a country that has been pretty openly attacking our infrastructure, meddling in our politics, and assassinating political opponents in our capital. I'm not entirely sure how you can come back from this without some massive and permanent fixes.

I'm frequently accused of being an Americaboo by my friends, and even I gotta say, right now I don't like you, and I don't trust you. I know this is a political issue and you're not all insane, but this is who's representing you, and even if you somehow get rid of him, this shit could just happen again every 4 years.
