But that would be worse?

The solution to women being treated unfairly is not to start treating men unfairly too. It’s to treat women fairly.

I disagree, it was a common German first name until he ruined it.

Though you should keep insulting him, the methhead “war strategist” deserves it.

Why would you use Spanish though? You can further denigrate them by using English and also banning the use of Spanish by prisoners. You wouldn’t want them to be comfortable, would you?

Another sign you could use is:

To Each His Own

which was on the Buchenwald concentration camp.

I don’t know, I feel like anon’s advice is misguided at the very least.

It assumes that OOP is more or less choosing to be this way, instead of struggling with issues outside their control, be it self-image issues, anxiety, depression, money or a myriad of other things. Depending on the particukar combination and severity, anon’s situation may not change for a very long time, including forever.

I believe proper advice would focus on making them accept their situation. It’s OK to have no friends or partner(s). They are not a necessity in order to live a meaningful life. Perhaps it won’t be the most meaningful life possible but it is certainly possible to find meaning while feeling lonely. Though finding a job is somewhat important, especially if they live in countries without social welfare, they should focus on that for a bit.

I don’t have any positive stories to share on how I overcame the issues anon is facing - considering I’m in my early 20s and have nearly all the same one’s. But acceptance has helped me cope with my situation in a not unhealthy way and reduced some of the pain of loneliness and self-doubt.

How did I even miss you saying

it wasn’t something we did in PE

in your original comment

It’s more visible, sure, but there’s nothing easier to put on than a band:

And you had actual games? For mandatory PE at school?

It’s pretty much locked in once you hit your teens. You can nudge it a little, you can change how you present yourself but your personality is what you are. And you cannot change that significantly. Just try changing your core values, your ethics. Can you start believing and feeling like murder and rape is ethical?

I’m not sure how accurate this is but I’ve read it in a scientific article some time ago. In particular, it highlighted the connection to how likely people are to commit crimes based on personality and brain structure alone and whether you can actually be held responsible for crimes since there is at least some determinism.

In 2012, the Landgericht Hamburg (Regional Court) partially upheld Sony’s claims.

That’s Germany’s most blatantly biased court for copyright infringement by the way. Any regional court can be chosen when suing for copyright infringement but it’s always Hamburg that handles these cases. Be careful when publishing pictures of your home on the internet - your wallpaper may be copyrighted and you may have to pay a few thousand euros.

Couldn’t there be an implementation thay leaves everyone satisfied?

Sort of like implementating a new optional tab for discovery and allowing users to choose whether their posts appear on it. The implementation should of course be fully honest without dark patterns, though due to the lack of profit incentive it shouldn’t be difficult to achieve a satisfying implementation.

Label the remappable button STREAMING SERVICE or something, I don’t know.

What hormones would a gym fembroy take though?

All adult games on Steam are banned already in Germany + those on The Index.

Huh, that wasn’t there yesterday when this was posted, I’ve checked everything I have access to

Either way, it’s everywhere now

It’s a little more specific, I think the patent is about:

• mounting either an air or ground mount
• when riding the air mount, going close to the ground transforms it into the ground mount and you keep riding it

But that’s still something multiple games have done in some way I think.

Although Frankfurt doesn’t have them, this exists:

Your account name is me trying to spell Dijkstra

That looks like a single-bed hospital room. Depending on the country, they are expensive in Europe too because insurance only covers the bare minimum. Here in Germany you’ll always be sharing the room with 2 - 8 other people, even if they have an infectious disease. You’ll only get a single-bed room by paying like 200€ per day, by being immunocompromised or by having a very infectious disease.

Depending on who compromised you, paying the ransom is the smart move.

As long as the hacker group has a somewhat established name and reputation, they have more to lose from keeping a copy afterwards than to gain. Trust is like half of the business model for these groups - throwing it all away for a one-time gain isn’t the smartest move.

And while you should obviously keep a backup, in the end it might be cheaper to just pay up, especially because of potential future lawsuits should customer data be leaked.

Also, you should absolutely make sure the hackers actually have stolen data instead of merely encrypting it all with a secret key. There’s no point in paying in that case.

I guess Cyprus will never be able to join the EU either then

The amount isn’t necessarily an indicator of intelligence, the nunber of connections is very important too
