It does punish you for downvoting, though, and sometimes even upvoting. Just by upvoting what you like or think is important and downvoting what you think is bullshit on All, you can collect quite a few bans. Which is bullshit IMO.

Or if you’re so progressive that you know how to Entgendern nach Phettberg.

If they’re salted just right, I often start a pasta meal with a few forks of nothing but pasta!

I’m against mixing because different shapes take different times to get done.

It’s counterfactual and unfunny. Pretty bad joke.

Men change, too, especially the abusive ones. I don’t think many abusive relationships start with the man beating up his girlfriend within the first few months.

It’s perfectly common for people to change how they act over the course of a relationship, especially if it lasts a long time. She might have made more of an effort to behave “nicely” when the relationship was fresh, or maybe she just changed as a person, or confused “acting confidently” with “abusing service workers” when she gained a little confidence as she got older.

If you’re in a relationship with someone who starts acting like this after, let’s say, 10 years, you don’t immediately drop everything, especially if you have children with them.

And y’know, men are often victims in abusive relationships, too. They stay for similar reasons as abused women.

I’m about twice your age, German and still got a St Nicholas gift bag from my mother. The answer might be “never”.

I tried it maybe a year ago. It works as a sandbox, but it’s kind of empty compared to Minecraft and the environments are much less varied. There’s just a lot more to do in Minecraft.

The YouTuber that got me into Minecraft was like 40yo when I started (I was already in my 20s back then for what it’s worth) and is anything but obnoxious. If you’re specifically looking for YouTubers and streamers who aren’t annoying, you will definitely find them. Have you seen regular old children’s TV? “Obnoxious” is just what children like.

Mine, too!

It’s true in that almost every food item is made “with science” (university-educated food technicians, biochemists, engineers etc.) these days, but you hardly need science to make common drugs like alcohol, caffeine or nicotine. Coffee and tobacco are just plants, and fruit will spontaneously start fermenting all on their own.

I tried buying more physical books. I have a small stack of it, but I can’t motivate myself to actually keep reading them. And there’s always the danger that I find a page turner that’ll keep me reading the entire night …

Understandable!

Royal family is “decimated”, yet only one heir remains? Curious. Must have had a lot of daughters.

I had to replace mine every couple of years because they break (i.e. start leaking).

I always build my own PC. It’s only relatively easy if you’re used to the process, and even then it’s still substantially more difficult than gaming, because mistakes actually have consequences and many parts can’t just be sent back after you tried installing them.

TBF there’s quite a lot of time that goes into researching the right parts and the right shops to buy from, which depending on the person might be considerably less enjoyable than gaming and also requires more mental presence than many games.

A lot of disco was great. Listen to some Chic!

Depends on how little drug use counts as “drug-abusing”. I’d assume the majority of people use drugs like alcohol, nicotine, caffeine and cannabis/THC, and most use them for recreational purposes or “to deal with the stress”.

Same issue with “computer nerd”, really. One person’s nerd is another one’s normie.
