I for one think it's really cool that you are a part of a writing group and that you're improving your writing skills in a little community! I wish I had the stamina to be in a hobby club! Go you!

Pickle jars also sounds like good drinking containers! And I 100% agree with the holding a sufficient amount of water. It's fewer distractions if you have a bigger drinking container. You fill up once or twice and not only do you get the proper amount of fluids in a day, you also get to focus on other things than constantly having to go for refills. It would legit drive me insane if I had to refill my water supply more than a maximum of thrice a day. Life is too short for that bs. Ans I'm also not gonna get a jug to pour into a glass. Too many steps. Just give me my jar and a straw and I am good.

I love the mental picture of you being at a formal dinner with sports themed tumbler xD

Also, don't worry. My man isn't too serious about the drinking glass thing. It's closer to banter that he wants me to drink out of a normal glass.

Var der i øvrigt ikke noget med at R.F. Kennedy Jr. engang kørte hele sin familie ud til en strand, skar hovedet af en strandet hval, baksede det op på taget af sin bil, smed plastikposer over hovedet på sine børn så de ikke skulle få rådne hvalrester i hovedet og kørte hele vejen hjem med nedrullede vinduer på motorvejen? 🤣

It's funny because it is true. Only, I don't constantly have three drinks with me because it is winter and during winter I forget what drinking is outside of meals - especially during the work week.

Also, during summer, my fun drink is my water because I drink from jars with metal straws and throw tenthousand ice cubes into the jar before filling it with water. It makes my brain tickle. At home my man wants me to drink out of a glass like a normal person, but he doesn't understand that water in a normal glass is the dullest shit you can do to water. I need my jar with the cute berries on it and the metal straw (no ice cubes because it's winter)!

Also my coffee tends to be dark chocolate.

But yeah, during meals I have water and whatever fun drink I am in the mood for.

I mean, I'm a tech retard, but it does sound to me that you're doing your best and no one can ask anymore or you or anyone else who has started their journey away from American tech and influence.

I, myself have made some the low-tech changes such as gtfo'ing all the mainstream social media platforms and boycotting streaming of all kinds (even European ones, but that's more because I find streaming to be peak depravity when it comes to modern day consumerism) and I have stopped using American search engines and browsers (with the occasional exception of DuckDuckGo). Besides that I don't buy American products at the store if I can avoid it. I know it's not gonna affect America in any way that I no longer buy raisins from California, but to me it's a matter of principle, and while they won't feel it, local competitors definitely will. There's a cola brand in my country that has absolutely exploded in popularity since Trump threatened to annex Greenland. This brand had such a big demand that they ran out of indregients for production and had to upscale.

This has become part of my joy and excitement for the future, because it's not really about hurting America, it's about building up Europe and nothing motivates me more than to realize that my shopping priorities and me joining communities like Lemmy and switching to Ecosia etc is me supporting alternative that will give a voice and/or financial growth to people who actually deserve it.

But yeah, I think you're doing a good job with the initiatives you've been taking. It's inspiring to me! And oh man, what I would give for a good old button phone xD I was planning on getting one of those after my current phone dies, but my spouse made some very good arguments for why I will need a smartphone in the future so I'll have to figure out how the hell I'm gonna do that once my phone dies. Because there are plenty of European alternatives, but I run into the same issues as the picture posted above haha. There are alternatives, but those are made to accommodate the elderly generations in my country and as my spouse said: once they die off, these low tech alternatives will be phased out too and we will all be expected to use smartphones for everything. 🤪

We all do our best to navigate this tech-jungle. I can't poopoo anyone doing their best and having to use American tech or services here and there. It's hard to fully escape it right now, but it will become easier in the future! ❤️

This feels like solving an impossible puzzle only to fall right back into existential despair when you start thinking about it, because an egg is also not just an egg in the same way that not all egg layers are chickens. So if we can remove the chicken from the equation we also have to remove the chicken egg. Else we are cheating. And then we are right back where we started and the chicken and egg question still stands undefeated.

In my world it’s the same thing, but I get what you mean. I have an android phone and the only reason I haven’t switched to something else yet is because it’s a relatively new phone (bought it in 2022) and I’m the type to keep my phone until it dies of old age or it breaks beyond repair. Until this one croaks, I’ll be stuck with android for awhile, but good on you for switching.

Jeg kan så godt følge dig. Hvis du satte næsen op efter at se en western og så blev trukket ind i det mareridt Bone Tomahawk serverer, så kan det virkelig være et enormt chok for systemet! Det må fanme ikke have været sjovt. Jeg har selv haft et par forfærdelige oplevelser med film jeg slet ikke var forberedt på, og endda et par film hvor jeg VAR forberedt og alligevel var det for meget. Nogle film rammer bare ens nervesystem på en uhensigtsmæssig måde. Det sker!

Håber at du vil få en bedre oplevelse med Bone Tomahawk, hvis du vælger at se den igen. Og ellers er det jo også helt okay, hvis den bare ikke lige er din film.

The Wailing er fantastisk. Jeg tror ikke du vil blive skuffet! Må virkelig holde igen for ikke at begynde at plapre løs om den, for synes du fortjener at opleve den selv. Kan dog garantere dig at den ikke laver et vibe-flip ligesom Bone Tomahawk så der er ikke noget chok til systemet på den måde. Men fuck hvor er jeg misundelig over, at du har muligheden for at se The Wailing for første gang! verden er simpelthen ikke fair. 😆

Depends on the kind of bitching, but yeah. I don’t think our European leaders aren’t aware nor unwilling to make the changes. They very much are. It’s just taking a long time and terminally online people don’t really understand that because they have gotten too used to getting everything immediately.

I am not just talking about cloud providers. I am talking about all American tech. The whole thing. That’s why it won’t happen over night, but it will happen and is already happening. That’s why Peter Thiel is out there having his weird little religious psychosis and claiming that Europe will fall if we don’t stay with America. He’s scared. He and Trump squeezed too hard on the Greenland issue, thought too highly of their status and power and now they will have to witness the consequences of threatening your own allies over and over. It is done and they know it and now they are scrambling, but the only tactic they know is threats so fneh.

I am very confident that we will see a new tech boom in Europe that will fill in where American tech used to be. So while a lot of things are terrible right now and America seemingly is desperate to self sabotage because success got boring or whatever, I am genuinely excited for the future of Europe. It’s not going to be easy or painless, but we are moving in the right direction in many areas and I see all the bad waves of far right ideologies as a phase. It may take decades, who knows, but Europe is moving in the right direction and I have never been more proud to be one than I currently am.

America will also come to its senses when trump and his morons have been kicked out of power, but the damage done to that nation will be felt for decades to come. I think that when I’m a senile old lady, America will still be dealing with the consequences of electing trump in the 2020s. That’s what I think.

It’s going to take some time to change the entire system. Remember that up until recently, while not super ideal, we still thought that the US, at the end of the day, was our allies. It’s easy to sit and be a captain hindsight, but until recently, it was the smartest thing to keep things as they were, as to not put extra financial strain on everybody. Now we have no choice and I for one am very happy that we are making the move to separating ourselves from America because I have hated the US since Bush and always felt they had too much influence over on us in Europe.

At the same time, I’m not gonna sit and piss and moan about all the American tech we still use or when European countries honor weapons deals they made before America went insane. Change is slow, frustratingly slow, but we are moving. It is happening. It’s just not gonna happen over night to appease impatient people who have no idea how big of an ask it is to have all European systems switch to open source. That is going to take years and a lot of money, but it is happening. My government has already had an entire department switch to Linux to test it and I believe that they will continue to make changes in that direction as the years pass.

But sure, one can also bitch about the current state of things not being perfect and up to your personal standard. Thats also a strategy.

Jeg kan huske at jeg så en video efter at trump vandt valget anden gang, hvor en dame gennemgik Peter Thiel og at han ville have Grønland så han kunne lave data centre deroppe, at han ville lave et nyt verdenssamfund som hun kaldte for techno-feudalism. Det lød som vanvittige konspirationsteorier, men af en eller anden grund kunne jeg ikke lade være med at tænke at selv hvis hun er bims, så var der bare lidt for mange ting af det hun sagde som hang lidt for godt sammen med den måde trump agerede på efter at han trådte til i sin nuværende periode.

Og hver gang jeg hører Peter Thiel tale så hører jeg en mand med storhedsvanvid, der lever i en fantasiverden, og som han vil forsøge at tvinge ned over os alle sammen ved magt. Han har været på dette powertrip og snakket om tekno-stater siden 2009. Manden er gal. Jeg anser ham for lige så slem som Epstein, men Epstein vækker mere opsigt fordi der alle de seksuelle forbrydelser, mens Thiel mere er som en tegneserie-skurk fra 90erne.

Det er så langt ude at de fleste almindelige mennesker ikke kan tage det seriøst, men hvis de bare vidste hvor mange forbindelser Thiel har og hvor meget han sidder og trækker i trådene - selv jeg er ikke klar over omfanget - så tror jeg ikke de ville slå det hen som fjollet.

Jeg har ikke undersøgt det super meget i dybden, men på alle de bøger jeg har lyttet til, er oversætterne danskere med danske navne. Jeg slog navnene op på to af dem nu her og nu kommer jeg faktisk i tvivl om, om disse oversættelser er så nye som jeg tror de er. For Pet Semetary var oversat af en der hedder Elsebeth Eskestad som var aktiv forfatter i 70’erne og som jeg må gå ud fra tjente lidt ekstra på at oversætte bøger i 80’erne, men det stod der ikke meget om. Ham, som har oversat IT hedder Anders Westenholz og var også forfatter og psykolog. Han døde i 2010. Så måske er disse oversættelser i virkeligheden original-oversættelserne fra 80’erne da de udkom. Det er i så fald chokerende for mig. Nogle af de andre bøger jeg har lyttet til er nyere bøger, der blev skrevet indenfor det sidste årti og der har jeg kunnet finde oversætteren på de sociale medier, så den må være god nok at det er rigtige danskere, der har oversat disse bøger. Men det er fanme vildt hvis det faktisk hænger sådan sammen at to af de dårligst oversatte bøger jeg har lyttet til siden december (Pet Semetary og IT) er blevet oversat tilbage i 80’erne og ikke i dag for det sprog der bliver brugt i bøgerne er vitterligt sådan nogle af det mest terminally online unge mennesker jeg har haft i praktik taler. Og i så fald er der endnu mindre undskyldning at give oversætterne for sløset arbejde for tilbage i 80’erne fik man altså væsentligt flere penge for at arbejde i bogbranchen end man gør i dag.
