Just to say: this is what AI is useful for. It can translate the whole thing to an okay standard if you want it to.

here’s a neat trick:

EVERY GAME IS A GAME FOR GIRLS

oh and also: android games for “primary school children” are just scams 99.99% of the time. buy games, don’t do ad-based games, no micro-transactions.

Nah, I’m an okay person. Sure I do bad things. I make mistakes and have problematic behaviour patterns from time to time. But I am working on it. That’s what makes a “good” or “bad” person. It’s almost never about what you do but mostly about intent and willingness to learn

Is there a way to be reminded of that every weekend?

Smalltalk.

Depends. In one way, nothing is old, because we shaped and changed everything. But I guess the foods that humans ate at the beginning of our journey is mostly berries and roots.

Wait. You said “non political music” (as if that were a thing) and then you say SoaD???! Please read their lyrics. They are full of politics. From war protests to the Armenian genocide to anti-science and pseudo-science weirdness.

Music is always political.

I’m still on a 5T and am very happy, years later

“the book of Mirdad” by Mikha’il Na’ima. I just wanted everyone to read it. It’s a philosophical narrative of strive, peace, perspective, growth… When I read it I gained hope for humanity.

I cannot say enough about this book. It’s opened my head and broadened my horizon.

In a similar but more practical way: “the power of now” by Eckart Tolle is something that I quote from even years after reading it. Like the title suggests, it’s a helper to find the moment, the presence in the present.

I love this description! I don’t play the game. I just think it’s such a wholesome way to live masculinity. I like to think it encapsulates my style pretty much 🤩🥳

no unfortunately, couchsurfing changed their webstie model, made a paywall to even access old profiles, held people hostage. i couldn’t even login without paying money, so i never logged in. a shame.

here’s the thing: in the past i have used couchsurfing to house people. i don’t intend to make “extra money” off of people needing a roof over their head.

airbnb’s were never great. couchsurfing was. airbnb always was a way to save on taxes for renting out actual bed&breakfast rooms. it was clear from the start, that airbnb led to empty houses, that people couldn’t afford the horrendous prices and had to move out. that big landlords would rent out individual rooms for double their worth… i don’t think the airbnb business model was ever “great” except for landlords

“some family’s backyard”? did you read the article? This was a big mansion somewhere where famous people live. and they can’t evict the person because they’re lacking the permits for the rental. and it all started because they didn’t get the house in proper shape. so yeah, fuckem

Okay. So this person doesn’t have the permits to even rent out the house. Makes a profit off of the rent. Didn’t repair the house.

Get fucked.

Airbnb is truly the evil outlier of late stage capitalism and the housing crisis.

Hey. I’m a noob pretty much. I was wondering if there is a way to test out TomTom Live traffic services on my Tomtom Rider 50. I bought it used, there’s an account on it. I’m scared if I reset it, that the map will be gone. And that’s 50€. I didn’t find anything so far. Only thing I find is the apk for the mobile app, but nothing for the actual satnav

First results after a few minutes.
