German male here. For me that definitely was not a regular thing. I remember only one such check when I was around 14 and one as an adult during a skin cancer checkup. Both situations weren’t super awkward, but pretty short and okay for me.

No neee to get angry gramp. We’ll get you some of that nice luke warm pudding and move your chair in front of the window in the sun. Okay? =)

I’m not even sure if the average rich person’s life is actually getting better by hoarding even more wealth. I tend to believe that being really rich is kind of an illness. Like an addiction where you never feel powerful or rich enough because there’s always someone that’s ahead of you. I feel that capitalism, especially in its current stage, is really bad for everyone.

For me it’s hard to believe how a sane Person can think that Trump isn’t a human desaster compared to any other president in the last decades. And with him the entire party and big parts of the population just went crazy.

You should check against homi.healthyCapacity first unless you want to drown them.

It takes two is amazing, but AFAIK only allows for two players.

I probably wouldn’t do my job as a hobby during my free time, but in general I like what I do for a living.

And my impression is that they currently rather make things worse rather than better.

I just installed them via Aurora Store (FOSS alternative to Google Play). No tweaking required.

My Pixel 6A died from water damage two weeks ago. Bought a Fairphone 6, flashed /e/ and relocked the bootloader. For a slightly tech savvy person really easy to do. So far, everything works fine including 3/3 banking apps. I didn’t install any Google made apps and except for the gboard keyboard and Android Auto I don’t miss anything. Both could be easily installed, but I’ll try to stay away on purpose. I’m really happy and can recommend! :)

I imagine that power is a similar stimulant as drugs. The more you have, the more you want. And with any kind of addiction, it quickly becomes toxic. You’re wealthy, so you want to be super rich. Once you’re super rich you want to have direct power over people instead of just power through capital. One form of this may be political activities, lobbyism, propaganda, buying land, sport teams etc. Another can be sexual domination and abuse and getting away with it. It’s all a form of ‘I can do whatever I want’. I guess Trump admitted the sexual dimension several times (‘grab em by the pussy’).

I used Reddit for years as a reader without ever posting or commenting. When alternative front ends were ditched, I switched to Lemmy which I really like. Was never banned.

I use oat ‘milk’ that only needs to go into the fridge when open. So only one at a time and wherever there is a free slot.

And to integrate me as deep as possible into all kinds of processes and infrastructure.

Some people kind of just want to be dicks.

I think it depends on how you say it. In general, I think it’s a good thing see other people’s opinion, especially if you already have a certain bias. IMHO there are very few topics that have only arguments in one direction.

If they block you from printing guns with a 3D printer, you could print a 3D printer that doesn’t have this limitation and use that instead.

Was war denn das alte Maskottchen? Das Tier im Logo hätte ich zumindest nie als ein spezifisches Geschlecht bestimmen können.

What’s wrong with Indonesians in particular?

They seriously need to build more apartments and condos with concrete instead of thin wood in the US.

Concrete is a desaster from an environmental perspective and there are other ways to dampen sound between two apartment units such as clay, straw, lime, hemp etc.
