The older i get the more i wish for a non-capitalist community driven utopia. Fuck profit, i just want peace and a place to hang out

I loved it, even though we only had the horrendous dub over here lol
Always wanted to make the random paper mâché decorations but wouldn’t’ve hat a spot to put them

I see the joke in it now, but its a bit of a stretch of the definition imo :D

A little like the tolerance paradox. I can’t tolerate intolerance - this is necessary for tolerance to survive

Edit: butchered the sentence a bit

Can you explain what you mean by that?

Empathy
If you can’t see why other people’s suffering should concern you, i’m not gonna be able to relate to you on any level.

I used to riiiide across the deserts you know, I used to gliiiide on my speeder, pray that I dont fiiind… what i don’t wanna find

Kinda sounds like you might feel at home in the polyamory community.

Lots of people who aren’t “in it” don’t have that sort of energy

I have a hard time imagining telling my wife that “I’m not comfortable” with her doing something she wants to do unless it is something outright dangerous.

Its just a matter of boundaries and agreements really. Most mono couples have an implied set of rules rather than customising their relationship experience by doing the work to define boundaries together. Very much a societal thing i think.

Whether or not you were planning on swinging, that option is now in Wills head and he’s afraid Janet might participate.

In the end it’s just jealousy, but most people struggle with that emotion some times, no matter their relationship type.

Usually angry music like melodic black metal or heavy stoner/doom. somehow gives me the right energy to get out of the slump.

Used to play blacklight retribution, a f2p shooter. After grinding most of the things i wanted, i ended up paying 10 bucks to unlock a cool helmet and some “shortcut credits” to unlock a few other cosmetics i didnt wanna grind for.

Game is dead nowadays sadly, but they had a great system (for the players)

Ads are a good one. If i try to watch a stream and i get a “wach after 4 ads” counter, i simply close the tab

That’s a great one!

Rammstein is not a town though, Ramstein(-Miesenbach) is.

I think a good chunk of US american military folks are familiar with Ramstein air base, less so Ramstein-Miesenbach. Internationally I’d imagine even less of either.

Even plenty Rammstein (band) fans aren’t familiar with the origin of the name, nor the town near the airbase :)

I’d comfortably take a bet that Wacken rings more bells around the globe.

Wacken, Germany.

Population: 2110

Home to one of the biggest metal festivals in the world with something between 70k and 120k people. I think Tickets are limited to 70k currently but the whole area is bascially transformed for a week

Thats a specific situation you’re imagining and isnt necessarily what happened

I kinda used to like twitter to find related stuff to my interests and content creators in a more digestible form than sifting through subreddits, but nowadays its nigh unusable.

Keep it up, don’t lose that curiosity!

I think thats by design. Microblogging vs Forums.

Ths former, like the bird app is to yell into the void and hear what others yell while lemmy and reddit is built around it’s comment sections.

yo you got your own instance running at 13? that’s so rad

i’m a dev more than twice your age and i couldn’t be bothered to read up on it lmao

Mastodon doesn’t do it for me, most of what I find interesting isn’t really… there yet.
So my mains are Instagram > Discord > Lemmy > Reddit
In that order I’d say.
Instagram is just the most “personal” social network. I watch my friends’ stories, share some of my own here and there… It’s close to how we used facebook back when it wasn’t a cesspit of ads and “pages”.
Discord is where I keep in direct contact with most of my friends, besides like messengers. Reddit is for specific problem solving and random hobby content.
Lemmy is filling the same niche but I just scroll it more than I do reddit for news, articles, hobby stuff…

Pretty much the classic way of things:

“i gotta work out -> I’ll do it daily! -> oh no i missed one day -> might as well give up”

When in reality going once a week is better than not going at all. Going three times a week is difficult enough, especially when you have other responsibilities or hobbies.
