Euuuuh, Switzerland doesn’t… The system is very close to the US one, but it’s mandatory.

Yep, except the party has been the #1 party in the country for easily 40 years…

If water previously going to Europe ends-up raining in Africa, the irony would be delightful.

Let me guess, too much work to maintain the tree and keep the street “clean”?

Same here :/

Wanted to get one of these as souvenir, but they are full cardboard. I was hoping for a “credit card” gift cars style .

Wait what? XD

And at the same time, social anxiety has been steadily increasing among young people due to decreased human connection, driven by smartphone use. Tell a random 20 year old to go to their local park and strike up a conversation with a stranger for no reason except that they are at the same park, and they’ll look at you like you just told them to assassinate the prime minister of Czechoslovakia - not only are they sure it is a bad idea, but they are pretty sure it is impossible, since Czechoslovakia hasnt been a country for quite some time now.

So these factors combine. They believe that even approaching a woman already makes them a bad person. Then layer on top social anxiety that makes talking to strangers already horrifying. And the brain comes up with a scenario that justifies the fear: You are a bad person if you approach a woman - you’re a bad person just for thinking about it - so if you actually did such a fucked up thing, it would definitely get recorded and posted online. Everyone would know what a fucked up person you are, you’d probably get MeToo’d, and sent to jail for sexual assault. Better never talk to anyone, just to be safe.

Damn that was a bit too close to home for comfort. However I’m closer to 40’s than 20’s xD

I see myself as a shy introvert and I’d rather avoid social interactions if I can, as I feel I’m bothering the other person(s). So approaching a woman randomly… Yeah the second quoted paragraphe summarise how the experience would feel.

That’s why I liked dating apps years ago, before it (apparently) went to shit (I stopped now that I have a partner): clear background and expectations, minimised misunderstanding.

There was a paper about using “thermal batteries” made of piles of thermal bricks for all industry requiring high temperature (smelting, …).

I need to find it again.

Vaulting (making inaccessible) some content made it very hard for new players to start destiny 2.

Between this original sin and the tsunami of bad decisions that followed (fomo cranked to 11, monetisation non stop…) I don’t understand how the game manage to live this long. Yes gameplay was good, but THAT good? Damn…

At this point either do D3 (not sure how now the history is supposed to be complete) or let it die…

At 20 minutes if you’re having a hard time. Finding it.

I admit, it was Densely packed xD

Orange Jar Jar Binks?

PTSD intensifies…

That’s only if people read the info in the actual email.

“-Could you just explain what this meeting is about”

“-Did you actually read the email summary”

“-yes but it’d be better if you explain it again”

No you didn’t…

Space Marine 2 is the only reason I’m still booting on Windows…

Hey! You lost this:

*Hand over a “/s”

Kaos… T_T

Because of the USSR playing its role as boogyman.

On top of that the at the time Germany and current Russia are totally different: its geography, its people, its government, its economical status.

Occupation is generally a bad idea, but occupying RUSSIA… Very, very, very bad idea. You’d just confirm the lies the Kremlin tell its population and unite the country against the EU.

Edit: typo

Visiting Prague right now and mostly noticing the Brits xD

And “APT” stands for “apartments” :)
