  • Just a fun fact I remember from a tour some time ago: Artist would draw the whole picture beforehand and just add the faces of kids afterwards. Kids could not hold still long enough for a whole session. That’s why some faces of children look so out of place in old paintings.

    I tried to fact check this information, but couldn’t find any sources, but my memory from a visit in a museum


  • It was on a wedding. I was talking to a dude who got seated at our table. Somehow he managed to change the subject to gender and such, him not understanding why we need these new pronouns and such. I could already tell, that this conversation was heading in a bad direction. Then he said something like “I don’t care if people are gay, but at least some years ago, they would hide at home and be embarrassed about it!” That was the point when I turned around without another word and simply walked away. He didn’t understand what he did wrong. But I didn’t want to make a scene at the wedding. Also I am certain that it has no use discussing anything with people like that.


  • I’m actually trying to be very careful with my data, to the point where I get sidelooks from some people who don’t care at all. Yet I try to still be able to use the services I want to. Like Google Maps. I know that I am selling my data to them. But the service helps me so much in my everyday life that I am willing to pay this price. But also I use AdBlock on all of my devices. So I really don’t care too much about advertising. I’m more concerned about other consequences like, individual pricing, or change of government to a dictatorship which would prosecute me for my beliefs I posted online, or Netflix not fuing finishing the series because they already calculated that they wouldn’t make as much fuing money as they would like to.
