Well good for you, i guess you cooking anecdotally in fine dining invalidates my experience entirely. All of a sudden the bread parts itself on my chef knife like the red sea for moses.

I definitely need a bread knife to properly cut good bread, if only for the teeth. The bread I eat is more dense and has a hard crust compared to say American wonderbread. I also like to dry out some of it and then double toast slices for that extra crunchiness. No way a smooth edge can deal with that.

I used a program called spotdl to download all the music in my playlists and then ditched the whole thing.

I have a couple people tagged, mostly in negative ways since they have to make a really bad impression first.

Oh lol. I didnt even see that when i googled for the steroid horse

This reminds me of a project I saw some years ago, it was AR glasses with just a monochrome display that would project into the eye itself, adjusted to the individual user by an optometrist.

It was less ambitious than the other projects at the time on what it would be able to display, but this had the distinct advantage of being extremely power efficient and lightweight, allowing the system to fit into a normal glasses form factor.

It also looked cyberpunk as fuck with the user having a glowing red dot in one of his eyes during use, at least to everyone else. I tried a bunch of times to google for what ever has become of it, because I was very interested in the concept as a wearer of glasses.

Does anyone by any chance know what I’m talking about? This would have been in the early to mid 2010s.

TLDR: Want my cyberpunk glasses. Pls halp

Fair enough

Why does he not use those headphones? It is generally accepted practice to make an effort to be quiet when you need noises, not make an effort to endure someone else’s crap.

So I’d say the responsibility is solely on his shoulders to stay fucking quiet. Why not blast all that noise to a headset? Also, depression doesn’t factor into this. If he keeps bringing that up as an excuse you need to address that.

Because you’re not looking:

And this increasing deterioration of public opinion is happening despite the fact that a responsibility for Israel is cemented into the german law and favorable opinions being actively promoted by the media and government.

Yes, we are entirely homogenous over here and any decision ever made by our government represents 100% the popular opinion, similar to how it works in the states

In the context of the Internet, yes that is a valid question in my opinion. They don’t want your literal address, they want to know your nationality. Being from place x generally means you also speak language y and have a cultural background of z.

And what would that be? I think i was pretty clear. I want russia to stay within their borders, for all I care they can oppress each other until the end of days. Though I would, unsurprisingly, not shed a tear if the country collapses. Same goes for the states.

I also already gave you a reason why I don’t believe it a worthwhile use of my time to engage with this literal whataboutism on a serious level.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE STATES GUYS, THE STATES

Fuck them, i have no love for them either.

That this simple truth is even in question to you entirely dismisses any point you are trying to make.

I don’t need to engage with you over this. We fundamentally disagree on a moral absolute.

There is no scenario where a country can unilaterally help themselves to the internationally recognized territory of another. That this simple truth is even in question to you entirely dismisses any point you are trying to make.

Russia has no claim in any way shape or form to any territory that is not currently internationally recognized as theirs, doesn’t matter if the country was in the SU, Warsaw pact, russian imperial sphere, has russians living there, has russia feel “encroached upon”, or any other imbecilic pretense apologists like to bring forward. It isn’t theirs.

God forbid a sovereign nation can choose its partners…

I certainly understand the sentiment, but I am also sensible enough to not proclaim that to the whole world in such an emotional situation. Naturally affected people are gonna be pissed and will interpret the statement in the worst possible way.

For the fictional event, I actually hadn’t considered that because it would mean a center of commerce is the american equivalent of a national icon.

To be fair this is much more than just a church, it is a national icon and cultural heritage. Imagine the ungodly things americans would reply in a tweet saying this about the burning statue of liberty

Any show that tries to paint the federation as less than aspirational has entirely missed the point of trek, and the product is a stillbirth.

Pointing out flaws, or highlighting the morally grey areas like ds9 did is fine, because it still preserves the federation as a multicultural utopia.

E: always nice to get downvotes without further discourse. How does anyone consider “the office but in the alpha quadrant” star trek? I don’t want to watch random people doing a mediocre job in some bureaucratic apparatus while they wear trek uniforms. I don’t want to watch s31 as some sort of idiot CIA. I want to watch modern TNG.

A sense of wonder and optimism, the exploration of fantastic things never seen before. Engagement with philosophy and real world issues through a sci fi lense. A hopeful tomorrow, a ideological roadmap to utopia.
