Some people are also consciously or subconsciously looking for a younger partner, because they will put up with their bullshit, while someone more experienced would not. Definitely look out for that, but it’s hard to tell in the beginning.

So, you’re 18 and he is 33?

It’s said if you divide your age by 2 and add 7 you roughly get the youngest age you can date. That would be 23,5. Personally, I’ve come to the believe any gap of 10 years or more is too much. Your just in too different parts of your life. There is often a bad power balance and simply different needs.

Go on the date, have fun, but I wouldn’t get serious.

Your absolutely right!

My bad. I meant the cornea

There are no idiots, but the idea persists

I forgot the exact quote, but the gist was that wealthy people don’t need to actively collude, because their interests naturally align: Lower taxes, less oversight, less restrictions what to do with their wealth, undermine any effort that might threaten existing power structures.

That also explains why they naturally seem to support authoritarianism and facism, because those systems offer exactly that.

Switched to Tidal. It’s cheaper and better quality. Also no AI music bullshit. They even have a tool to transfer your playlists and so on. Although it’s not perfect and I had to remove some tracks it identified incorrectly, because the real track isn’t on there. But the vast majority of music is on Tidal as well. There are just a few albums that a handful of artists haven’t put in tidal. Not sure why they didn’t, because they have other albums there, but I can live with that.

I see the headline. I don’t have to open the link to be informed that ICE is now murdering people in the streets!

Edit: At least I can just block you, but still: Spamming horrible information in inappropriate places is not the heroic thing you think it is.

That’s not so great for people trying to watch their mental health. I can’t change a thing about that, here in Germany, but I guess I have to see it, anyway.

Man, I get it. You see how man are treated with less empathy, their pain diminished, their emotions denied and then faulted for being angry all the time, the only emotion that seems to be acceptable as a man. But you’re going to hard in the other direction. It’s not just black and white. Just because a man is talking about his pain doesn’t mean he can’t be a dick about it. And that is what this comic demonstrates. If you’re honest to yourself I’m sure you can see that too. If not, you know, sorry to hear. Not much I can do to change your mind.

There is a productive way to talk about your pain and going “I suffer more than you” is not it. No matter the gender.

He says that he feels like this all the time, while she only feels like that five days a month. Sure, he is not saying that her pain is lesser, but he is saying that he is suffering more. And that is what (most) people here mock. That this comic suggests that men suffer more than women. That responding to someone explaining their pain with “actually, I suffer like that all the time” is childish behavior. This isn’t about men sharing their pain, it’s about the one-upping what she is saying.

I’d say wait for the new one to come out, then buy the old even cheaper

Even sitting in the plane (or more often the train), I keep wondering if it’s the right one.

That was a good read, thanks!

I really like this one, but it feels like it should be sprayed on a wall somewhere and not on a magic card tbh

Damn, my bad! Confused the composers. It’s Jeremy Soule, the composer of the Elder Scrolls soundtracks, that has sexual misconduct allegations 😬

The Witcher series also has a great fantasy soundtrack in that vein , if you don’t mind the artists allegations… (got confused, it’s actually The Elder Scrolls soundtracks composer, Jeremy Soule, with the sexual misconduct allegations)

Other than that the Baldurs Gate 2 Soundtrack was also pretty good iirc.
