Do we already have c/dontputyourdickinthat?

Jon needs a carbon monoxide detector and a new oven.

Ascheim? Kirchheim? Heimstetten? Ich meine das war irgendwas nah an der A99 hier bei München.

Oh man, from time to time I miss my W124. It was a 300CE coupe in that violet-ish color (Bornit), that people either love or hate.

Now I am completely unsure whether to call this a dad joke.

Sorry for making fun about your typo, but the thought of a cussion - a cushion that cusses like a sailor every time you sit on it - is too funny.

It’s probably also a matter of perspective and where in the world you live.

I feel specifically the last 25 years have been specifically bad with the outbreak of quite a number of wars. Starting with two gulf wars, balkan war, several wars around the russian influence sphere, a lot going on in africa, wars nearly forgotten by the media like Yemen, and ultimately Israel/Gaza…

It 's a shit show, globally right now.

The footrest is still there in a manual car. The brake pedal is smaller, the clutch in between.

When you brake you hit the clutch with the left foot and brake with the right one on the brake pedal. Unintentionally smashing the wider brake pedal can happen if you switch from a smaller car to one with a very wide brake pedal. (Mercedes have quite wide brake pedals, for example)

It also happened a few times to me over my. life until I got used to put my left foot very close to the seat when driving automatic, so I don’t subconsciously use it. (Just “away” from where I’d have it in a manual car)

It typically happens if you need to do emergency braking anyways and just all the reflexes kick in. In normal situations it never happened to me.

By the way, random selection is one of the few methods to guarantee a fair and representatative sample.

In case of a library I’d want at least part of the catalog represent media of the times is was created, because science also uses that.

One reason archaelogy in Pompei is valuable is that everyrhing - including pornograhic graffiti and slander was preserved, giving us a different perspective into those times than books by medieval historians.

Of course, I’d also want - in another part of the catalog - books/media by manually selected scientists, artists, historians.

Exactly this thought made made me understand “god is irrelevant” a long time ago and I became an agnosticist.

I really can not understand people who are only “good” because they fear an ultimate judgment, and not be good just because they want to out of their own volition.

In case there are gods, I’ll be judged for who I am, anyways. It doesn’t matter if I play “good child”. If there are no gods, I’m still happier if I’m not an asshole.

When I was a teenager my dad got a beautiful marble chess board. It was leaning on a wall, and when I picked it up it broke into two halves.

My dad was really sad and angry at me, that board meant quite a deal to him. He always thought I mishandled it, regardless how I said I was careful.

He died last November.

I got sent a few boxes with his belongings, and when I opened one of them I found that chessboard. It is glued with epoxy.

It sits in my apartment now, and I still don’t know if I want to keep it or get rid of it. One one hand it meant a lot to him, on the other hand it is one of the very rare things where I felt treated unfairly.

Ooh wow. Tons of possibilities for sci fi movie scripts. Btw, the downvote wasn’t from me - probably someone found that thoughts scary And them being scary, there I agree. With the downvote no.

Wtf is this the 2024 version of a lobotomy?
