Im Westen Nichts Neues (All Quiet on the Western Front).

There are some historical inaccuracies, sure, but it is an amazing movie showing the horrors of trench warfare and the careless nature of the commanding officers in the First World War. It leaves you with a sense of dread, something war movies should do more often imo.

This is correct. However, many websites/newspapers/magazines/etc. love to get more clicks with sensational headlines that are technically true, but can be easily interpreted as something much more sinister/exciting. This headline is a great example of it. While you interpreted it correctly, or claim to at least, there will be many people that initially interpret it the second way you described. Me among them, admittedly. And the people deciding on the headlines are very much aware of that. Therefore, the headline can absolutely be deemed misleading, for while it is absolutely a correct statement, there are less ambiguous ways to phrase it.

First name is very rare here in The Netherlands, but these days it is quite common to use the “casual” form of you (je/jij) rather than the polite form (u). That was very different some 70 years ago.

I mean, it wholeheartidly depends on what is on screen and the stimulant

Excel sheets and coffee? Yeah boring

RV There Yet and booze? Pretty fun

Nature documentary and magic shrooms? S-tier

As another user commented, it was started by JayZ. It is still American, so I also tried Soundcloud, but it had too many things missing sadly, especially in terms of soundtracks. So Tidal will do for now.

Yeah I’ve switched to Tidal when I read about it. It’s a shame, in terms of usability Spotify is definitely ahead, but I would rather use an inferior product than pay nazi supporters

I see a lot of hate for the HIMYM finale and… I truly do not get it. I will not praise it as a cinematic masterpiece, because it isn’t. But it is an ending that they have been building up since the very beginning, and it makes perfect sense given the characters and what they went through. There are a lot of show endings that cannot claim that at all, with random last-minute additional arcs or forgetting things from earlier seasons. I haven’t seen any of that in HIMYM. So yeah, I think it’s a decent ending overall, and I truly do not understand the hate it gets.

As for GoT; yeah that went into shitshow territory from season 7 for me personally.

It’s kinda mainstream, but I’ve enjoyed Modern Family quite a bit. Sure, there is some friction, but it all works out in the end, so perhaps that fits what you’re looking for.

Lives, all mortal lives, expire Souls go to their doom in flame Forevermore

There are great examples in this thread of great games from years past. But from more recent games, everyone who has played BG3 to its close (or near it) will likely agree with me. It was an amazing buildup and amazing scene when it happened.

Yup, installed Linux Mint for my 60+yo mother. She hardly uses her laptop and does not need anything advanced. We set it up, installation went very smooth (obviously), set up her browser so she can use it like she’s used to, and we figured out how to use the printer. Thankfully it was no hassle at all, it just connected via USB and interacted very well with the printing and scanning software that came with Mint. She was already using firefox and libreoffice, so that was no hassle either. So far so good!

A bit more niche, but I’d say Roll20 for online TTRPG’s. It has quirks, absolutely, but it has gotten better overall and is free with optional paid plans that offer good benefits which are not necessities.

Could be. I’ve used it only once, it worked fine then, but I’m not really in a group that needs tools like this on a regular basis.

Possibly, but not to my knowledge

It exists, it’s called Handshake

Unfortunately this makes sense - the original Italian and German fascists were also obsessed with it.

Not to mention that the same sizable part of the population cares more about fertilized eggs than actual children

For me the explanation is simple: there is no logic within religion. Note that the bible says to love one another but also says that slavery is OK and that gay men should be stoned. These things conflict with one-another; you cannot be kind if you have slaves and stone other people, and you cannot have slaves and stone people if you are kind. It is physically impossible to follow all the rules in the bible. Many of its followers do not realize this, so their critical thinking skills are either lacking or damaged from all the BibLe gOoD thumping that they received from a young age. And because their critical thinking skills are damaged, many do not realize the obvious problem with giving money when jesus was, according to the book, not condoning this.

Yeah that’s the thing. It would be outragiously stupid way to advertise their things, but sadly that does not make it impossible…

I read another headline earlier, something like “Blizzard strands 1000 people on Mt Everest.”

And my early morning brain went “ugh Blizzard really is an awful company, going way too overboard with their promotional material.” I wasn’t even that surprised.

Now I see this headline and that earlier one makes more sense 😂

In the current day and age of misinformation I think donating is more important than ever. It doesn’t need to be much.
