It's not that Germany has also its fair share of dumbass politicians *sigh*

@scribus I'm not enthused. I wasn't happy with Merkel, at least she tried not to F-up everything. I'm not seeing that the replacement is going to be remotely good. Christian Democrats are here the right wing conservatives, and don't share much with my political ideology. I'm more left-leaning and a Pirate Party voter. At least I can say that I didn't vote for the dumbasses that are in power.

Dramatically redrawing voting district borders after every election is insane.

@adiwan That’s the America we’re about to be living in because one particular party spent most of the 2010s building the ultimate gerrymanders, only to have it completely fall apart when the suburbs turned on them. The new legislative maps for the decade are going to have very few competitive districts - you stay on your side, I’ll stay on mine, etc.

@zeldatra For a country that celebrates freedom it's so sad that it kicks an essential pillar of democracy, that can give a lot of freedoms, to the ground because a minority is power-hungry and restricts these freedoms for their own gain.

Winter cycling is not as bad as I thought. In Summer I sweat excessively after I come home cycling. It's not the case on colder days, or it is less severe. Only the cold air is hard on my lungs but wearing a mask delays the problems a bit as I re-inhale warmer air.

@adiwan As for the sweat, I found that a small spray bottle of Witch Hazel is handy for freshing up
-
@scribus I tried some anti-transpiration sprays and they mostly fail. Also I would need to cover my whole body with that stuff and it ain't worth it. Luckily I'm not a "stinker" and it gets all back to normal after half an hour.

Renewed calls for the western parts of my county to secede and form a new county because the county has become too blue. Problem is Trump only won the proposed area by 2%. So suppose Biden or Harris narrowly wins it next time. Where does it end? Do we keep splitting off new counties until eventually it’s just two houses along the state line?

Love it when an employee tells me she had requested off for a certain day, AFTER I’m already done with the schedule. I tell her that the request isn’t in the book. She says yeah, she forgot to put it in the book but she still wrote it down on her personal calendar. How am I supposed to know what’s on your calendar?

Adding to that I'm also hearing phantom music and bumps in the night so I'm spooked

Seriously though, NFTs remind me of that one furry con where someone allegedly got married to Minerva Mink.

“I have my PRINCIPLES,” I say to my mother when she asks why I haven’t made six figures on NFTs like the 19 year old crypto artist who lives down the street
about 5 days ago from web-
@scribus I wouldn’t. The whole thing’s a pyramid scheme. I’ve looked into it. Forgetting the environmental impact - my only personal qualm atm, though apparently that’ll change soon - something like 90% of NFT sales are back-and-forth transactions and the remaining 10% only profit if they’re the original seller. AFAIK very few profit from investment.

I cannot believe that I am still STUPID USELESS IDIOTIC MORON FAILSOME enough to ever think that it's going to take me anything less than TWO GODROTTEN HOURS to accomplish a TEN! MILE!! DRIVE!!!

@scribus kinda batcaveed how Los Angeles is simultaneously not a place to be walking around like New York, but ALSO has traffic as bad as New York
-
@zeldatra My town's got about three places to cross its titular river. One is a freeway, another turned out to be closed with no warning, and the third had some wantwit who managed to cause an ambulance-worthy crash at a mere 10-15 MPH.
-
@scribus more or less why getting to Maryland from here is such a hassle despite the town literally being on the state line. Should take five minutes. Ends up taking an hour and a half because there are only two bridges across the Potomac.

If I hit the Lotto, I want to commission a house built to a scale that makes me feel 5 again. And a regular-sized copy next door. With a doghouse on the same floorplan.
about 7 days ago from web-
@scribus If I played and would win then I were content with just a normal-sized house. Nothing fancy, which leaves more money to buy cool stuff. My house would need only a big enough space for a library for my current and future comics collection size.

If I had to guess, I would wager that Fiverr made their webpage with high schoolers hired off of Craigslist. I haven't seen an interface this godrotten awful since I tried using Gmail. Why does nobody have any clue how people use computers, when we all use them all day every day??
about 9 days ago from web-
@scribus This is exactly how I feel about the newest version of Flash, they redesigned the interface for the first time in like twenty years and it feels like it was designed by a guy who’s never used Flash before

@zeldatra How are we living in the Year of The Woz 71 and Netflix still needs to be told EVERY EPISODE to turn on the godrotten subtitles?

I think we drove cross-country two or three times, took like a week. One time, the car started failing on the way back home, piece by piece, starting with the air conditioning. In New Mexico. During the summer. XD

I drove about 1200km (745 miles) this weekend. I visited my grandparents and picked up my mother back home. I drove most of the time 150km/h (93 mph) and needed only 5 hours for each direction. I'm somewhat exhausted.

@scribus I wasted so much time at the border in my life. Once we were stuck 24h. A Game Boy can only do so much.

I got one grandma like 30 miles away, and the other was in Maryland (while we were in California). I wonder if it averages out...? lol

Thought I was getting pulled over today on my drive home from a friend’s house. Pulled to the side, he sped right past me. Wherever he was going, every single cop in the county was also going because I saw about twenty squad cars all heading in the same direction at various points during the drive.

@scribus that's the thing about whenever i see something like this, i can never find anything about it on local news because i live in the DC-Baltimore media market, so, anything that happens here is immediately overshadowed by two different mass shootings

Well, I finally got desperate enough to launch a Fiverr page https://www.fiverr.com/jlbesq/read-and-record-voiceover if anybody needs/wants my voice for something, or knows someone who does.

Also a friend and I have been trying to write a script for a live-action comedy film centering around a guy who spends years undercover in a New York crime family, it’s set in the 2020s, and I watching this while thinking about that made me think about how there aren’t that many mafia films set in the modern day, it’s all about the 70s and 80s and stuff, The Sopranos is probably as modern as it gets. Would be interesting to explore how the mob operates in the internet age and in a post-9/11 world. Frank Cali was assassinated by a QAnon supporter. That’s insane. The boss of the Gambino crime family, who ran the show for years, got taken out by some guy who thought Trump wanted him to because he was told so on 4Chan. Not gonna see that kiwi in Goodfellas.
