Cilantro is the real devil’s lettuce. Absolutely vile

Speaking of, is there something natural that I could spray or put out to deter spiders from setting up shop in my place? I dont want to kill them or anything, and also know they are usually helpful in eating mosquitos and such but there are certain places in my apartment I want them to stay the fuck away from forever, like my bedroom.

🤨 you will probably want to ask your tutor for your money back.

“Shmatterling” is the closest sounding english approximation.

i dont know the word either, is this good?

Is that a recent change? I somewhat distinctly remember being offered Fdroid during the initial setup as well.

Is it really endorsement to offer the user upon initial setup to install it, along with fdroid?

I’d say that’s just general compatibility, most users have at least one play store app they can’t just stop using, in my case that would be the banking apps I need to be able to pay online.

This is the publishing house in question. It has a decidedly conservative bias and has often been considered a sort of shadow power behind the throne with its immense reach and influence; able to significantly affect the political discourse and public opinion. You could probably compare them to the Murdoch / fox news empire in many ways.

I’d still recommend a pixel if you care about your security and privacy, but the phone definitely isnt somehow extraordinary. Good quality (at least mine is), the expected specs for a modern phone, no complaints.

Just that it is, well, a normal smartphone otherwise. Unless you want to put a custom OS on it you won’t find it very different from any other smartphone.

The one thing the pixels really have going for themselves is that the user can degoogle them and slap grapheneos on it. Literally the only reason I bought a pixel, everything else about it is very much average.

Not a PR issue, a coordinated media bias issue. A great number of german media is owned in one way or another by the Springer company, and as such a small group of very rich kingmakers. The current government isnt conservative so they get the most hostile coverage imaginable, on purpose.

That depends a lot on what your culture says counts as nude. The technical term would only apply if they were completely nude, but a bikini may well be considered nude in certain parts of the world where showing hair is considered degenerate by some.

Hell I’d have difficulty defining nakedness myself… to stay with the bikini example, depending on skimpiness it leaves nothing to the onlooker’s imagination. It might as well be a simple layer of color over the intimate regions instead, and then we are essentially talking bodypaint which I would say definitely qualifies as nude in my book, but probably not in a lot of other people’s.

Let me preach you the gospel of

A user friendly, steam OS like distro specifically made for gaming. About as difficult to set up as a new smartphone, and comes with all the goods needed for gaming preinstalled, like steam, wine (lutris), and various other compatibility features.

It is also an immutable distro, which essentially means you can’t break your system*. If you mess something up you can simply roll back to an earlier configuration.

*you certainly still can, but you would have to actively try

Seems to be chugging along just fine, they really made a gold standard game. They are even smart enough to dip into the nostalgia crowd who liked the older versions better with the classic servers. I honestly wouldnt he surprised if it were still an actively developed game in 10 years

Stellaris also has recently received a subscription model, so if you want to just dip your toes it might be a lot cheaper for you to buy a month and get all possible dlc content for the game automatically (during that period).

I suspect if they let steam do it there is nothing stopping steam from running it on Linux as well, provided the usual compatibility features such as proton wouldnt be deliberately incapacitated by Microsoft; which in turn would piss off valve a lot because of the steam deck and OS.

They invested heavily in their Linux fork and compatibility suite, if windows store were to fuck with that I suspect they would be on the losing end. Steam users are very loyal to the company and by default extremely hostile to proprietary fuckery.

Where am I saying that? Just that kids aren’t usually taken aside by their parents and learn about lying and trickery. They figure that out on their own eventually, which doesn’t mean they do not learn from example obviously.

That’s just basic skills of deception. I’d say most kids figure out at some point in their youth that they can make things appear differently for their own advantage.

Be it raiding the fridge in a way their younger brother does it sometimes to get them in trouble, or even more likely, they are at some point at the receiving end of it. Hence most people dont need to be taught deception, the actual disturbing thing to me here is the calculated murderous intent.

Not a rage fit heat of the moment thing, a planned murder including the forethought of deniability. At 12 years old.

Why does real life not provide the same gratification hormones?

Obviously it should make me feel much happier and accomplished to do literally anything constructive with my time, even more so when my bank account total goes up from getting paid, than to have a mediocre time getting dunked on in an online shooter, but it doesn’t work that way…

Are there any studies done on this? I know there are apps and systems that attempt to do just this, gameifying real life chores with moderate success. Why does this not work as well as one would expect? The psychology should be very interesting.
