Good luck to you. Try the adoption/foster-child road, bur don’t give up. My wife’s cousin tried for more than 5 years, went through several ivfs and some kind of procedure, but was considered barren at the end. But for whatever reason it then suddenly worked and they have 3 children now (they only wanted 2, but I guess they prayed top Har or something).
Hm, I do this sometimes to mark that I am unsure about the statement I made, asking for confirmation. I think that is okay?
In any other democratic system I genuinely think a third party (greens?) would have a good chance to win this election
Checking in from Germany. We have a parliamentary system and ~60 of the population is against the genocide and only ~30% are pro-genocide. And this despite a continuous pro-genocide propaganda by almost all media and politicians. It honestly is batshit insane what the german media is becoming. The whole discurse they produce is basically directly restating IDF statements.
But 90+% of the parliament is pro-genocide. Only one fraction (BSW ~1,4%) is strictly against the genocide (but are assholes in other topics) and 1 fraction is divided on the issue (Die Linke ~4%). Our green party is the most stringently pro-genocide party.
It is honestly really hard to not completly lose trust in democracy itself right now.
And whoever likes Valheim should have a look at 7 Days to Die and The Forest (and probably The Forest 2, but I haven’t played that one yet).
“In class sitting on his lap”. Do people really do this? Seems disrespectful towards the teacher/lecturer (might be just cultural differences, I am not from the US).
TSA, but I guess you know that this is not normal?
Also the constant humming of ACs in New York drove me crazy.
The “management” should be seen as positions to help the employees to do their work properly, not to rule over them (but helping would necesarily need to include some level of reviewing the work and if really necesary organize disciplinary measures).
From my personal experience I defintly conclude that a company where the management serves the employees get better results than companies where managment are little wannabee generals.
(I am also currently middle management and hope I do this right.)
The thing is also, the models work reasonably well on the global scale, but the local scale is something different. Whoever did work in climate change impacts knows that we still work mostly in darkness and just try to prepare for the worst.
The climate is no simple thing. Who knows, maybe some weird shit with the ocean will happen and increase the rainfalls over northern africa by 500% and the Sahara becomes a jungle. Probably unlikely, but we don’t really know.
You do know 7 days to die? A lot less deadly, first person and much more base building. Still overall a similar concept.

I personally don’t really care that much, but I guess this is mostly about “living stuff out openly” vs. “keeping your fetish in non-public spaces”.
Yes, there are public mermaid events, but I don’t think those are perceived as less weird.
The Epic of Gilgamesh is really cool, I wish there were more modern reinterpretations of it, though.
Didn’t Nintendo basically invent it?
On the other hand, looking at some screenshot I think Nintendo might have a point in this case.
Getting a restraining order against someone, because they said“stay the fuck out of my life” is so dumb. Sorry, I had to laugh. Hope you sorted that out and can live your life safely.
It’s been ten years and we’ve got two now, but I think you can still congratulate. :)
To add some positivity to all those sad stories: For me the most dramatic life changing event was the birth of my first child. Suddenly (okay, we knew for a few months, but it still feld like “suddenly”) we weren’t just a couple, we were a family.
100% the best thing in my life.
Yeah, I earn so much more now in my 40s then in did my 20s. What I’d saved then in a year I can save now in a month. But I still cannot have the fun now that I had back then.
Restraint is good. Having some reserves for troubled times is extremely important. But living is also important.
It defintly is a slippery slope. I work for a municipalitylies utilities company. Part of my job is working with a utilities companies union to lobby politicians to make laws that will actually improve the way we can work. I think we actually do improve things for the German public by bringing desperately needed knowledge to the table.
But I think we are a small minority among lobbying institutions.
Not trying to compare google to the Nazis, but this reads a lot like “but he build the Autobahns”.
You do sound rather aggresive. :) We introverts can be friendly as well. He is probably just insecure about the situation.
