10/10, Would ride to the 1990 World Cup with.

I should start learning Chinese.

This is it. China also has billionaires, but they aren’t more powerful than the state.
And they know that.
They use at least a part of their wealth to support their society, cause there’s a realistic danger that they’ll lose it all if they get too cocky.

But if you read it all, he was also pretty fucking nuts.

Without a friend, you’d try every combination of clicks until you got it.
You had the time, and no choice, cause they only released one game per year.

That’s definitely the way to do it.

40€
It was a poker tournament with friends, 10€ buy-in.
I got drunk and bought in another 3 times, then lost it again from making dumb drunk bets.

I never gamble with serious money cause I know how it would end. I’m susceptible to addictions.

Username checks out.
Granted your wish and silenced you.

It also makes you susceptible to do inhumane things to people based on false information.

I’m not surprised. But I don’t condone or celebrate it either.

Without context, it isn’t.
As soon as I post it in a thread about Nazis doing Nazi shit, I get downvoted to hell.
Same with my anti-war stance.

Granting someone human rights IS NOT tolerance.
And it’s not high road shit.

When Nazis attack your state with an army, shoot them in defense.
When they attack your society, arrest them, give them a trial, lock them up and seize all assets they used.
Inestigate their support network and shut that down. Ban Nazi parties, clubs and groups.
Also, fund organisations that help people trying to get out of the Nazi community.

The problem we have isn’t that those measures aren’t enough.
It’s that we don’t even do those things, because our politicians are actually in league with them or afraid of them.

I’m just picturing a 69-year-old working as a roofer or construction worker in the current heat.
Absolutely impossible. Raising the “retirement age” leads to working class people dropping out before they receive a pension, leading to poverty.
While executives in office jobs keep earning, doing fuck-all while “working from home” in their paid-off house.
There are several of those in the company I work for. They make 5x my salary and don’t know how to use the softphone or connect to the company network. Their sole purpose is to be CC’d in important e-mails, but they never read them.

Unpopular opinion:
Universal human rights apply to all humans, including Nazis.
Dehumanizing people and denying them their human rights is what Nazis do.

4 cops saw you “pouring a liquid into the pool”.
Their witness accounts don’t match up and 3 of them were on the other side of the city at the time, but the judge believes them anyway.

Add a fold-down console that locks into place safely in the middle.
Best of both worlds.

Heating costs are divided equally among all tenants, we only have one meter :)

A fancy French word for basement.

Actually a floor that’s halfway between street level and basement.
So it’s possible to build normal windows into it, but they’re very low to (or slightly below) the ground outside.

Yes, if you’re a sociopath.
Covid, Social Media and Late Stage Capitalism have turned many people into sociopaths.

When my wife and I were looking for a home, our main priority was actually that it’s “climate proof”.
We found a souterrain apartment facing east, on top of a hill, far from any rivers or forest.
So it stays cool in the summer even without A/C, and is unlikely to flood or get caught in a forest fire.
