For me, as an individual, I don’t think the cultural relevancy of my generation matters at all when it comes to getting involved in society.

Nothing in particular? I don’t see how my cultural relevancy would affect my life in any way.

I see no practical reason to build one on earth. It would be prohibitively expensive to build and maintain and there isn’t really any point to it. On planets without a breathable atmosphere, maybe, but I don’t see it happening within our lifetimes.

I live in an old house, so sometimes mice find their way in. Never really a huge problem though. I catch them with live traps and let them out a few km away. Don’t think I’ve had any in the last couple months.

It’s neither communist nor a site.

The little icon directly on the right next to the “leftist infighting” title.

Same on the desktop web interface. Just a regular locked post, with the lock icon.

Basically a person being paid to fight in a war in a foreign country without being part of the military. I immediately thought of the Chinese mercenaries fighting in Ukraine for Russia. In many countries, becoming a mercenary is highly illegal, here in Germany it could even cost you your citizenship.

the screen either gets a line in it where the fold is or delaminates.

Delamination is the factory installed screen protector, which can be replaced, not the screen itself.

I’ve been using a Flip 4 for the past 2 years now. It’s great having a phone that can easily fit in my pants’ pockets. The fragility thing is overblown IMO. I take it with me on hikes and mountainbike tours. The screen is still pristine. Only the factory-installed screen protector started showing some hairline cracks along the crease a few months ago, so I just replaced it. Not getting a slab phone again if I can help it.

My parents were not that much younger when I was born. FWIW I’m happy to exist and had a good childhood. My dad died when I was 29, which was tough of course, but he was still there for me until I “stood on my own 2 feet”.

QWERTZ, which is just the standard layout for Germany. It switches out Y and Z, adds Umlauts and changes the positions of various special characters.

I’m curious, what made you switch to AZERTY?

I’d say yes, as long as they’re tolerant of their children questioning those beliefs and developing their own later on in life. Parents will always make an impression on their kids, that’s just what being a parent is. It can get more nuanced of course. Teaching your kids homophobia is unethical, but that’s regardless of whether it’s for religious or other reasons.

There were many events over the last few years that brought us closer to a potential WW3, but I don’t think the market crash will play a major role in that regard, no.

The jobs you list would definitely not fall under the common definition of unskilled labor. Most of them are trades.

Aside from London (where I didn’t really talk to anyone but my sister who lives there), I spent 2 weeks traveling solo by train around England, staying in Bath, Shrewsbury, York and Scarborough and visiting some of the surrounding towns and villages. I’m sure it helped that it’s a country where I have a good grasp of the local language unlike, say, Italy, where I could barely make myself understood. But I had lots of random friendly conversations with strangers in the UK and no negative experiences at all. Way more friendly than the average German for sure.

Big-city people are generally less friendly, so I do believe you that it’s a different matter for London. It’s the same for e.g. Tokyo, where people are way more cold than in the rest of Japan. And I guess you get a different perspective as a local than as a visitor. Several people in this thread have mentioned Germany, which does surprise me as a German.

Japan, China and the UK were the friendliest I’ve been so far. I’m German.

No, it’s obviously the Matrix out to get you. /s

You asked a bad faith question, using a derogatory slur no less.

For me it would probably be Denmark. Generally speaking, Danish people seem more laid-back. Great cycling infrastructure. Access to the sea. Good climate.
