I am a guy from southern germany. I like scouting, trains and computers. Politically, I would consider myself as a democratic socialist.
(For anyone wondering, yes this is from the same guy, as !DeckPacker@piefed.blahaj.zone)

  • And we should condemn them deeply for it.

    You should still vote for them, I guess, but they don’t even have a presidential candidate for the next election.

    This purity testing between Democrats is so stupid. They fucking better give me a candidate, that doesn’t want to slaughter Palestinians. That shouldn’t be a controversial statement. If we signal to Democrats now, that we will vote for them no matter what stupid inhumane bullshit they do, then we are just gonna get another Biden that doesn’t do anything for 4 years and then loose to the stupidest Republican candidate imaginable.

    It’s not like the Democrats do anything for transrights, Gavin Newsom literally said, that they were to supportive of Trans People and that’s why they lost the last election. Shure, their own research (that they tried to hide from the public) showed, that Kamela Harris’s position on Gaza lost them the election, but shure, let’s blame the minority group that is already heavily under attack.

    I mean, shure in the short term, Gavin Newsom might be preferable to Trump, but he will be so bad, that everybody is gonna hate him after 4 years and people will just return to the Republicans. If we just continue to accept the Democrats bullshit, we are not doing anything for ourselves.


  • I think that you have a lot of agency over how you live your life and what you do, which has a huge impact on your happiness.

    There is no general answer here, just try to do more things that you know are good for you and make you happy. Eat healthier, stay reasonably fit, get a good and consistent sleep cycle (this has a huge hormonal impact on your happiness). Enjoy good art, make meaningful connections, if you are angry about the state of the world, try to revolt.


  • The question is, if this is correlation or causation. Maybe some people just do less things, that make them happy as they age? Doesn’t mean that you are gonna be unhappy.

    Also, this is an average and I imagine, that there is a very high variance among different people. A lot of people may very well get progressively, happier as they age.

    I would say, that happiness comes very much down to how you live your life, how you view the world and what you do.

    If you have a job, that makes you happy and good relationships and stuff like that, you are probably gonna be happy regardless of your age.





  • Yeah, I get that.

    I mean, what she did was still pretty bad, just the fact that she was totally willing to do that, so I get the other peoples reaction.

    I mean, the reaction of her one friend (I don’t remember her name), was a bit overblown, but she had pretty good reasons to (with her cousin and stuff).

    I like, that she never tried to justify it in any way, she was like “Yeah, it was really messed up, and I can’t justify it”, but also she changed and grew, so she really regretted it. I think her problem was, that it is really hard to properly communicate how she has changed. And it would probably have been a better idea to talk to her partner about this and not all her friends.

    And also her partner had a really hard time trying to accept this, he tried to justify it to himself. He should have been much more caring and supportive. I think he realized this towards the end.


  • Yeah, I feel like I am the same way with theaters. There is so much great stuff out there, if you dare to look in smaller theaters and are willing to take a risk and enjoy movies on their own terms.

    Some other movies, I saw recently which I really liked were “Love me tender”, “The chronology of water” and of course “Marty Surpreme” was also a fun thrillride.

    I’ve also seen “The Drama” pretty recently, but it worked really well for me, I chuckled a lot while watching it. And I also could tell, that the other people in the theater really enjoyed it, which made me enjoy it even more.

    But it’s a loaded subject, and I can understand if some people don’t vibe with that, especially if they have made experiences with something like that themselves. I luckily don’t live in America, so this is not as much of a reality to me, I guess. But I still liked that the movie still didn’t gloss over the subject, I felt like it dealt with it in a mature, but also humerous way.

    I am curious, how did you react to the movie, that made you not enjoy it as much?
