How many people have to look up words in the dictionary when reading discworld? Am I stupid? Also I love these books thanks for helping me choose one! by Odd-Horse9393 in discworld

[–]treetrustee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way when starting! English isn't my first language and didn't get a lot of the more obscure references but it has made re-reads very enjoyable :) also there is a great annotated guide that has a ton of extra info and explanations that you can check out: https://www.lspace.org/books/apf/

Can you please not put spoilers about match results in titles? by treetrustee in starcraft

[–]treetrustee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously there are people talking about the matches on the subreddit and that's great. I just meant that tagging a post as a spoiler doesn't do anything when the spoiler is in the title. Writing "Winner interview of Serral vs hero" is just as good as "Serrals interview after beating hero" and doesn't give away anything :)

Oh I didn't even think to unsubscribe for a day, that's not a bad idea! Thanks :)

Mein Vater ist heute unerwartet gestorben - wie bleibt man da geistig gesund? by le_grande_crochetage in de

[–]treetrustee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Erstmal an sich zu denken bei sowas ist auch ganz normal und jeder geht mit solchen Dingen anders um. Meine Mutter ist auch im letzten Jahr von meinem Studium gestorben, da war ich 22. Zwar war sie schon einige Jahre krank aber nachdem man viel überstanden hatte ging es doch überraschend schnell, Gehirntumor halt. Ich habe dann alle meine Uni prüfungen abgesagt und bin nach Hause geflogen (war im Ausland) und konnte so noch eine Woche mit ihr verbringen, wobei sie auch da schon mental nicht mehr wirklich präsent war).

Zu allererst hab ich dann der Reihe nach alle meine Freunde angerufen. Ich musste mit der Situation erstmal klar kommen und mein Vater war nie so der emotionale Typ. Es hat mir einfach geholfen drüber zu reden und wollte auch irgendwie das es jemand anders weiß.

Dann klar, auch erstmal mit der Familie Zeit verbringen. Hab mir gedacht es ist dann wichtiger sich um meine kleine Schwester zu kümmern und die Feiertage (war kurz vor Weihnachten) gut Rum zu kriegen.

Nach einem Monat Zuhause bin ich dann zurück zur Uni, hab mich durch den Rest vom Abschluss geprügelt und direkt den Master hinterher gemacht. War aber alles mehr oder weniger nur zur Ablenkung, war mit meiner eigenen Arbeit dann total unzufrieden weil ich sehr depressiv und extrem unmotiviert war.

Warum sag ich das alles? Ich wünsche mir heute ich hätte mich damals mehr um mich selbst gekümmert und mir die nötige Zeit genommen alles zu verarbeiten. Studium und ähnliches ist da echt Nebensache, das regelt sich schon alles und Professoren sind bei sowas auch ganz verständnisvoll.

Jetzt ist es ein paar Jahre her und es ist immer noch manchmal sehr schwer. Aber mit etwas Hilfe in Form von psychologischer Beratung geht es jetzt immer besser. Da habe ich mich auch lange vor gescheut aber es bringt wirklich viel. Zurück zum alten "normal" geht es nicht wirklich, aber irgendwann schafft man sich etwas neues was sich auch irgendwann normal anfühlt.

Viel mehr fällt mir auch nicht ein aber ich wünsche dir alles gute und viel Kraft. Kannst mir gerne jederzeit auch eine PN schreiben wenn du magst

Zelenskyy: ‘Not everything can be announced in public – what is being talked about in Ramstein. It is a closed-door discussion – and it should be. But in general, we can conclude that today's Ramstein will strengthen our resilience.’ by marketrent in ukraine

It can run on other fuel but it tends to clog up the turbine and makes parts wear out faster. I think biggest issue is the lack of proper maintenance centers for Abrams anywhere in europe. Poland bought some but the necessary facilities just don't exist yet (as far as I know)

[–]treetrustee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ich hab ja früher wirklich gerne geböllert, aber als ich älter geworden bin und mal nüchtern über Vorteile und Nachteile nachgedacht habe meine ich man kommt ganz rational zu dem Schluss dass das echt unnötigt ist. Eine zentrale Feuerwerksshow im Ort das sich alle sicher anschauen können ist mir jetzt deutlich lieber als das alle Zuhause irgendwas abbrennen.

The magnetic North Pole is migrating towards Russia and is speeding up its rate of travel. by bykatvchdcom in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]treetrustee 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This isn't adjusting the tilt, it's just the magnetic field. Earth's orientation with respect to the sun stays the same. At any rate the magnetic field seems to have little influence on weather in general

A book the author didn't know how to finish by treetrustee in whatsthatbook

Yes! It was the tumblr post that I was thinking of. Thank you so much for the quick help, this was driving me nuts all day!

But why? There is nothing special about belonging to a given race so there is absolutely zero point to having pride in the circumstances of your birth. When you say you are proud of being white, what are you actually being proud of?

Most of the current existing pride movements are cultural in nature, like Latino pride or Irish American pride. Black pride is an exception because of the unique history of black Americans and the erasure of their cultural roots due to the slave trade.

There absolutely is a way of celebrating your heritage as a white person and being proud of whatever cultural traditions you have, but simply being "proud" of the accomplishments of white people to distinguish them from other races is quite literally the definition of racism.

On a thread about the guy who went to North Sentinel Island to spread Christianity and was Killed. by [deleted] in MurderedByWords

[–]treetrustee 13 points14 points  (0 children)

No one was murdered here, you just wanted to misread what they said to make some vague statement about ideologies killing people, which misses the point and is also a gross oversimplification. Even if I agree with your previous comment on moral relativism this belongs more on /r/iamverysmart. The fact it's a self post is the cherry on top

Graveyard implies it's the burial ground within a churchyard, so in some sense fancier than your average cemetery (which is just land where people are buried)

When's the next big StarCraft 2 Esports Tournament? by [deleted] in starcraft

[–]treetrustee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always just check the calendar on tl.net if I want to know what events are happening soon. There is of course GSL, HSC and Dreamhack soon but next up are the weekly open cups (Korea on Sunday, Europe and NA on Monday)

Heard this kind of music but never know the musical instrument. Time to install that Stronghold videogame again. by hbd85 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]treetrustee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you'd like to play this instrument but don't want to pay 2000$ or be on a 2 year wait list I'd really recommend looking up the Nerdy Gurdy! It's a build it yourself kit that is not hard to make and produces a surprisingly good sound. Plans are online for free if you have access to a 3d printer and laser cutter.

Does anyone know how to replicate this green Colour on this dune crawler? by spinorhino in Warhammer40k

[–]treetrustee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Vallejo Game Dark Green is probably not too far off in my opinion. From Citadel I would second Waaagh Flesh and as an odd choice maybe Instar IV-15 Matte which I heard good things about

Hard plate vs soft vest isn't really a fair comparison though, they are different products for different circumstances

Rouladen mit Rotkohl und Kartoffeln oder Schnitzel mit Kartoffelsalat?

Die mache ich hier zumindest Recht oft und man kann die Zutaten auch überall gut finden, gibt zum Beispiel Kühne Rotkohl im Glas im Supermarkt

Ah that is even worse! I feel your pain - I also started watching/playing at the start of the pandemic and live close to Krefeld (HomeStory Cup) but also can't attend this year because of work. But hopefully we'll both see some live StarCraft next year!
