Unsweetened buttermilk, or even better, ayran?

Virgin Bloody Mary is really good.

Or just … alcohol-free beer.

Fingathing and The Big Red Nebula Band by Fingathing. Kind of a big beat/instrumental hiphop thing, the band already has a fairly unique sound but it stands out even in their output.

A lot of conservatives literally kick out and/or disown their children for being gay. I wouldn’t call this “typical”.

Depending on where you are and what you look like, don’t do it in front of cops, though.

Oh yeah. It sucks trying to search for tips, solutions etc. when you only know the localized terms, and it’s rare that help resources in different languages are even somewhat useful and up-to-date.

Also, localized voice acting tends to be lame. For one reason or another they’re rarely as good as the original ones. Conversely, I found that German voice acting for games that were originally written in German can be quite good - it seems that localization just doesn’t have the same energy as the original.

I suppose I’m relatively spoiled as a German.

FAAMG or whatever they call themselves now) are now laying off massive amounts of workers to replace them with poorly implemented AI.

I do remember setting my webbrowser to English to avoid YouTube’s absurd automatic title translations, and that was before the LLM hype …

Fairly obvious if you grew up in a non-anglophone country. It’s part of the reason why certain kinds of people set their machines to English even if everything is localized well. And it’s not just error messages, most of the good learning material is in English, too, especially for niche or very recent software.

Makes me wonder what kind of device you’re using in the shower, though.

Weinstein might be a fairly common jewish name? Definitely not changing mine, it’s very common.

I’d definitely consider it if my family name was Hitler, or something that’s a common swear word nowadays to the point that few people even know the original meaning anymore. “Ficker” is a relatively common name in my country, but to contemporary people it’s basically “fucker”. Many change the name into “Fischer” or use their spouse’s name instead.

What’s a reasonable amount of start-up capital? I wonder if you could make a big difference in US politics if you had like 50 billion USD and invested it all into promoting progressive (i.e. left of the DNC-mainstream) politicians and policy. Making sure that the USA don’t fuck everyone else’s shit up would make a huge difference.

Like, how much money are all the fascist billionaires actually investing into politics?

Might be a little late for this approach, though, at this point I’d expect that three letter agencies would just assassinate me if I started that now.

Definitely.

German north sea coast seems nice. I don’t even live that far away from it, but because it’s rather popular, the prices for traveling there are too high for my budget. Buying or renting a space to live is obviously also expensive.

If we’re talking “which country is the least likely to get a far right government”, not sure. Norway seems like it’s doing pretty well overall, but I don’t really have much experience with Scandinavians. Also they’re pretty tall, which is kind of a pain if you aren’t tall, too.

Silence, peasant!

“puta” literally means “whore”, though. Either way, what the hell kind of insult is “son of an unmarried woman”/“son of a prostitute” if you think it through? It’s rather anachronistic at this point.

Hijo de puta (or was it “de la puta”?) seems fairly strong? Though kind of misogynistic.

Many languages have using the wrong level of honorifics as a personal insult, while e.g. in English this only really exists in the form of royal honorifics, which are very rare for obvious reasons (which is sometimes used mockingly).

It’s also useful when you pick a wallpaper e.g. in your file browser or an image viewer, as opposed to going somewhere else to view the color.

Neat! My wallpaper (which is also just a subdued solid color) basically lives in the tiny margins between windows on my system, plus I see the whole thing when I go to a fresh workspace.

Oettinger Malz

At one point I was working on a tool to programmatically change the desktop theme, and this way I didn’t have to account for different methods of wallpaper setting.

This was always my primary concern when I still used wallpapers that weren’t solid color! So hard to find a good one like that.

I don’t spend much time looking at my wallpaper these days, though.
