Band in Question, Antilopen Gang once put forth they'd fight the Occupy movement alongside the police because to them, being against the 1% is being antisemitic. They also publicly stated to be on the police side in the protests against Stuttgart 21 (a new train station for Stuttgart that sucks) where the police blinded one guy and used water cannons against children

What I'm saying is these people are not what anyone outside of germany would ever call leftists

the most charitable reading possible with some knowledge of the band in question is basically saying Hamas are the new nazis because they want to kill jews, think spiritual sequel

even that one is not great

but it would be difficult to navigate accusations like that.

Go for broke, start telling their kids whenever they eat meat an animal is killed for that

Yeah but home ownership is sold as wealth building to the home owners isn't it? I can't spend money while I'm dead

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (3 children)

The whole homeownership as wealth building never made sense to me. I mean I don't pay rent, sure, there's less of a leech thing going on so maybe I get get more money. But how is it an investment? It's not like my singular house rises in price and everyone else's doesn't. Great, my house is now, in the twilight years of my life, worth 900% more than what I bought it for. I can now sell it, have 900% profit, then immediatly spend all that 900% profit on buying some other dwelling that also rose 900% in price

consider, however, not dying in a minor fender bender is gay. why you trying to stay alive, to have sex with men?

This bicycle shifter pull conversion box is neat as fuck and would be a major pain in the ass to build at home without 3D-Printing

To offer some explanation here; most modern bicycle shifters are indexed, i.e. you click some sort of trigger and it pulls the cable a set amount to shift one (or more) gears up (or down).

Problem is depending on manufacturer and model this pull length is different by a bit and if your shifter doesn't match up with your rear cassette or parallelogram rear shifter you just get the crunchy gears because the rear shifter keeps shifting inbetween gears.

with this and some math you can print a conversion box that adjusts pull length so everything works with everything. It does require you to use two cables but it's a boon if you wanna rig some shit together

I've also seen other useful appliances there, broken dust covers for shifting parts which aren't structuturally important but you do not want the fine mechanics of your shifter to get gummed up. Sure, you could tape it up or whatever but manufacturing a new one yourself seems cool. Also seen this for other replacement parts out of plastic that were either never manufactured or have long gone out of stock.

3D-Printing feels like it's a great side hobby to other hobbies but if you do it yourself, barring maybe doing some cool prototypes, it just ends up at "wow, look at this sick Rick skull with a weed!"

It seems largely fallen out of favour but I'm genuinely wondering how Teamspeak is still going and hasn't succumbed to enshittification

Buddy the other option here is not them managing to deal with it, psych health care in germany is abysmally absent, it's becoming alcoholics

Oh so this was a "when" question not an "if" question

I'm sorry you mean to tell me a few seconds of power losses is all it takes? I'd get like 10 or 15 minutes or whatever adrift but a few seconds is all that stands between clearing the bridge and just fucking taking it out?

This feels like the "respectable" (i.e. concerned about optics) right wingers clashing with the online weirdos

 

You plug this into your bicycle dynamo and out comes electricity to charge your shit with if you're going at least 12kph ~7,5mph.

Very cool for people who do multi day bike tours and having tested one personally: Yeah, rules!

You might have to do some finnicking with a powerbank that doesn't require you to replug it after it stops charging - I mean you're gonna go below 12kph eventually - but hey, you get some volts out of it to keep your phone or whatever other tech going if you're on a multi day ride with sparse outlets

Here's some data if you're into that sort of thing

 

So many songs I'd like to share with people who speak different languages as I figure they'd be super into it but it just doesn't hit the same with the language barrier

 

I am the downtrodden working poor elitist rich urbanite

 

In which some bozo was doing 65kph in a 50kph zone and plowed through a red light that was red for 23 seconds at the point of impact where he killed an 11 year old girl that was crossing it

He got off with 9 months prison suspended and a 6 months driving ban as he argued "the red light was green in his imagination"

motherfucker if that was the case you should be banned from riding a bicycle, too. The fact that this keeps happening and none of the aggrieved parents ever just fucking whack any of thse psychopaths should be considered an enduring miracle by the church

 

Rides his bicycle to all the carbrained right wing events and gets nearly flattened by the Angstpanzer Future Modern 4.0L, yelling hopelessly into the void how the jewish conspiracy of the car has made people soy

 

And half the reception is "Great!" "Pragmatic"!

My country is entering the "just get a guy from the town to do it" prophecy from Trashfuture

 

A guinea pig is a 2 pound furry potatoe with no offensive or defensive mechanisms and it still has the courage to yell at a hairless monkey 200 times their size if they feel their offering of veggies isn't up to par, they know no fear. 3 of them will reduce a bell pepper to nothing but white innards in about 2 minutes, tops.

Imagine if they hungered for flesh. You're just out about and 3 guinea pigs just nibble off your entire shit below the ankles in like two minutes. You try to kick them to death but they're too nimble and keep coming back as their hunger is insatiable

 

Mishima is an outlier and should not be counted

 

I posted about the axing the EV car subsidy about 2 weeks ago so here's a fun update; many car brands have started to just go "eh whatever we'll reduce the price accordingly either in full or at least partially" and that is of course very nice of them to do and also has 0 other implications and is best not to think about both in terms of what this means for the economic model or how these subsidies work out

Given the political climate in germany where not subsidizing cars is not an option I am now an advocate for just transferring tax money directly to car manufacturers. If we're gonna do it anyways, I feel like at least we should save on the bureaucratic overhead of paying it out to thousands of individuals after means testing their car purchase

The mod's just very well done but it's amazing how well the base game translates to VR. Talk about standing the test of time when your 2004 video game can be modded into VR pretty much seamlessly and then blow Triple and Double-A games that are specifically made for VR out of the water

EDIT: Thinking about it, Half Life 2 and it's consequences have been insanely culturally influential in the greater sphere. I mean from Gmod Youtube-Poops over to SFM all the assets are still relevant now due to skibidi toilet, and they're nearing 20 years old now.

 

I learned how to navigate by compass and map from Arma on the account of you kind of need to, to play certain game modes.

I have never learned shit from "educational" games because they all fail at being games. They're tests with some graphics added, that shit is boring and nobody cares, there's no incentive.

Under FALGSOC, every game would teach you at least one skill

EDIT: I learned Sneaking from Gothic because to sneak in that game you have some guy explaining it to you and that came in very handy as a teenager
