Are you sure you don’t mistake anarchists with libertarians? Anarchism is all about removing accumulation of power and giving back power to the people. And huge wealth is power in the hands of few.

Oh lol I totally misread that. 🤣

Of course you’re correct: persistence is key and much more important than consistency (as in: perfectly nail every dodge, which is my problem).

Like many others already said: Probably the best take is to “understand” that dying is not failure but part of the progression system. But instead of grinding experience points to progress your character (which is totally possible in dark souls) you grind real experience by repeating difficult parts over and over again and progress as a player.

It’s actually extremely clever game design.

you just have to be persistent

Being consistent is actually the hardest part of the games for me…

I heard a short interview with the opera houses intendant (if I recall correctly) and he was pretty unphased unfazed by this story. He said that it was not uncommon that a few of the 1400 guests of the opera house get nauseous during a show especially on hot days when air gets stale…

Sounded like he wasn’t convinced the nausea during the Santa performance was because of the play itself.

Why the heck does the “cross-posted from” link direct me to BDSM content on Jerboa? 😲

Thanks for your explanation!

Today, I read about spontaneous and responsive desire (I learned something new :)). Spontaneous desire means that you get aroused mentally first, and then your body responds. Responsive desire means that you need to get into the activity first, and only then do you become mentally aroused.

Is this the same thing?

Would you mind expanding a little bit on the topic of “reactive libido”? I googled it but don’t think I full grasped the concept.

Brandon Sanderson writes amazingly rich fantasy stories an created wild lore heavy worlds in his books. But his books are also behemoths with thousands upon thousands of pages that require some serious time and commitment to read. Maybe not the best for beginners to start getting into fiction.

I’d recommend the Harry Potter books because they start easy and get more mature with each book. Also the story and lore is widely known and liked by a lot of people.

This is actually a pretty hard question. At first I couldn’t think of any show but the more I thought about it the more came to my mind.

I narrowed it down to these three:

• MAS*H
• Hogan’s Heroes
• Dinosaurs

Not because I’m so old but because they where first aired in my home country in the early and mid nineties when I was at my granny’s place a lot of afternoons.

Later I moved town, kinda lost touch to my grandma and wasn’t really there when she got very old and then died.

Looking back it’s really sad that I wasn’t there for someone who spend a whole lot of my childhood with me and in fact was always there for me.

That was me a while ago. Removed pretty much all mods and finally finished the game. All in all it was a great ride but in the end the game was kinda dragging (finished Phantom Liberty first than last quest of main game) and I’m glad it’s over.

There’s also the Vorwerk Tiger. That’s a whole nother beast of a vacuum cleaner

Also:

He is said to have told police he had climbed the building to visit a person he knew.

“I thought I had ended up in a B&B, saw the book and started to read it.”

Im not sure whether this guy really is a burglar or a troll.

That’s the German way! 😁

und alle Wohngelderhöhungen landen direkt in den Taschen der Vermieter.

Wohngeld ist auch echt die absurdesten Vermietersubvention, die es gibt… Ich begreife einfach nicht, wieso diese “Sozialleistung” nicht durch einen wirksamen Mietendeckel ersetzt wird.

Okay, klar, dann jaulen die privaten Wohnungsbauunternehmen, dass sie bei gedeckelten Mieten nicht mehr gewinnorientiert bauen können. Oh no!

Nächster Schritt: Gemeinnützig orientierten Wohnungsbau direkt fördern: Wohnungsbaugenossenschaften und kommunale Wohnungsbauunternehmen subventionieren und die private Wohnungsbauwirtschaft aus dem Markt drängen.

Dass Genossenschaften erschwinglichen, guten Wohnraum bauen können, zeigen sie z.B. hier in Hamburg schon seit Ewigkeiten. Ist natürlich nur viel zu wenig um die Nachfrage zu bedienen…

But how is this a sad story? Babies grow so fast that they easily can skip a size… Am I missing the point?

And, wouldn’t this be the real sad story? “For sale, baby shoes, too big”

Implying that the baby died before it could grow into said shoes?

Seeing this video I am 100 % convinced that break dance battles are the most wholesome form of direct competition. These two athletes treating each other with respect and fun while competing against each other for Olympic gold ist just amazing.

Womit der Mod im Einklang mit der Gesellschaft agiert, welche solche Themen ebenfalls unterdrückt und schwerstleidende Menschen dahinsiechen lässt um sich nicht mit ihnen auseinandersetzen zu müssen.

Naja, so schlecht ist es um die Beschäftigung mit dem Tod und Suizid in DE nun auch nicht bestellt.

Ich arbeite in der Behindertenhilfe. Wir unterstützen schwerstbehinderte Menschen dabei, ein möglichst selbstbestimmtes Leben zu führen. In dem Arbeitsnetzwerk, in dem ich mich bewege (von Assistent:innen, über Pflegekräfte, ehrenamtliche Seelsorger:innen, Palliativdienste bis zur Landesärztin für Körperbehinderte), ist es völlig normal, über Tod und Suizid zu sprechen und sich aktiv damit auseinander zu setzen. Bei allen, mit denen ich in den letzten Jahren zu tun hatte, war immer klar, dass, wenn einer unserer Kunden den Lebenswillen verlieren sollte, dieser dabei unterstützt wird, eine Exit-Strategie zu finden.

Auserdem ist in Deutschland der assistierte Suizid seit dem BVG-Urteil 2020 nicht (mehr) illegal und dieser wird auch von Hospizdiensten vollzogen.

That’s a fair point and I agree with you that it’s difficult to enjoy soulslike (I am referring to the game’s I played. I’m sure there are exceptions) in short bursts.

But I don’t know whether this is because of their higher difficulty compared to the games you mentioned (which I didn’t play a single one of) or because they’re overall slower games.
