Oh, we’ve got some shitheads taking every culture war talking point from you guys. On of them tried to import the abortion debate, thinking it would spark outrage despite pretty much everyone over here agreeing with abortion rights - as any sane person would. And this shithead probably gets voted into one of the highest positions of government early next year.

Quick, I need an American. How do you guys pronounce ‘isekai’? Going off the correct Japanese pronunciation this post does not make any sense. These things aren’t even close in the way I say them.

That honestly wasn’t a good idea from the get-go. Don’t get me wrong, I’m really glad to be in Germany instead of the US, but there are several reasons I’d be open to leave for years now. It’s been obvious we’ve been running into major future problems nobody does anything about. But then again, once you actually look into it, pretty much every country has gone to shit or never has been anything but.

A small list of problems in Germany: political shift to the far right; reliance on a dying industry; avoiding debt at all costs; no investment in infrastructure or any modernization; the inevitable collapse of our pension system; degrading health care; pretty much missing workers in all fields and still hating on immigrants; a crippling bureaucracy overhead for everything; a society dead-set on both complaining about everything and wanting to change nothing.

When does something count as being eaten - once you swallow it? I don’t think you’d succeed at that with lava.

I never had one in the first place and I’ve seen way too many of them.

There’s probably another rule about him being able to join any game he wants. Kinda like you cannot hide his Xcretions.

Okay, I misread that. But two too many implies a third level, otherwise there would be no joke left.

Too many levels? …like, two? Glory holes and duck penises. Am I missing something?

Ito often works like Lovecraft, being drawn to something irrational you cannot understand is the whole point. It’s also heavily utilized in Uzumaki. The body horror is just the cherry on top.

The sensation is quite common for a lot of people, think of “l’appel du vide” (call of the void) or intrusive thoughts in general.

I fixed my post - according to my source 59% make less than 6 figures, not more. It’s still different to your sources, but not by as large a margin. Thanks for cross-checking!

I’ve got class war, which is a real doozy.

I don’t know shit about taxes in the US, but a solid guess would be that 45% is actually proportional to the amount of households making 6 figures post-taxes.

According to this website about 41% of US households make at least 6 figures pre-taxes. Not that rich apparently.

EDIT: Got the numbers mixed up, initially I wrote 59% - which is the percentage of people making less.

No, I cannot nap. I don’t fall asleep easily outside my normal bedtime and don’t feel refreshed afterwards.

In theory, other elements are possible. There’s even a list available on wikipedia.

Don’t apologize, I didn’t mean to invalidate your thoughts. Until we’ve found other life, everything is possible. Maybe they all are slightly different humanoids with similar problems. In fact, many theories about why we haven’t found anything yet are based on the very same assumption.

I just meant to add some additional food for thought.

That is a very human centric way to approach it. For starters, we don’t even know if other life has to be carbon based, let alone in which environments it exists. There could be an entirely different ruleset to their reproduction and of course their society. And even ignoring all these things, they could simply advance a lot faster, outpacing climate change and declining populations. Heck, we could be outpacing these problems if we never stopped puring endless ressources into space travel, but alas, capitalism deemed it unworthy.

The colouring is shit, MacOS turns red at its peak. So, was it good or bad at that moment?

We’ll all be long dead before anyone forces these companies to actually do something. As long as they can simply invest in some political sock puppets and only promise to do something, they won’t do anything.

I hate god and milk, checks out.
