very cool thank you! 😊

wow i miss this era so much, bring back the rotating and blinking gifs, marquees and quaint color palettes!

you don’t have to prove anything to anyone. You can feel things without having to perform them, you can be gay and aromantic / asexual. Don’t let anyone tell you what you can and can’t be.

very cool thank you!

i blocked all news and politics communities so memes and satire is my main source of information, and i have the feeling that i’m still on top of most of what actually matters

yup, “a steal” is a good word for that, but not in the direction they mean

i rinse everything that goes to recycling because it could be a while until i get around bringing them to the collection area and i don’t want my place to attract flies and other critters, or leak sticky stuff in my bin

The noun that describes a person or thing from a place is a “demonym”. American, Michigander, Californian, New Yorker…

• Versailles: a Versaillais (pronounced “ver-sah-yeah”)

The fastest I drove was 262 km/h on the German highway (which has sections without a speed limit). At this speed, you have to watch as far as you can, because a car on the left lane overtaking other lanes will usually be at most 180 km/h there, so you have to be prepared to slow down a very long time in advance.

300 km/h is just dangerous, you have to be fully concentrated to adapt to the other drivers and it leaves a very thin margin to react (if any), should something happen. You definitely put your life and the one from others around you one the line doing that.

My experience wasn’t particularly pleasant, but it was nice to feel once how the car behaves at its maximum rated speed. I haven’t done it again. But I’ll regularly drive above 160 km/h to just go with the flow.

does this count?

anyone born after 2000 is young in my book.

Of course, when you’re young you don’t think about it, then comes the time that your grandparents pass, or a pet, and you get to experience a form of grief. As time goes by, you start losing more people you knew, a school friend, a work colleague, an aunt… And eventually death comes closer and takes away your parents, your social circle shrinks, you think of your own mortality.

Then you eventually think what will happen when you disappear. What if it was tomorrow, when crossing the street? What will people you leave behind remember of you? How can they deal with your stuff? Can you make it easier by lessening the amount of stuff you hoarded? Can you put down the important information to your online accounts somewhere? Will they be able to let the friends you made over the internet know that you’re gone?

Statistically, I lived half my life, and those thoughts come and go. I look at stuff in my cupboards that i haven’t touched in years and decide what to do with them. I start making preparations for the legacy of my many accounts for social media, banking, internet hosting, image backups etc. We’re all here on borrowed time.

Das letzte Hemd hat keine Taschen.

German saying: the last shirt has no pockets.

What you wear on your last day on this Earth doesn’t need pockets because everything stays behind after you die.
