  • Holy fuck is business insider unreadable - without blocking their shitty scroll-up popup thingy

    Currently I just switch to text mode/reader thing in Firefox

    But boah, is that thing nerve-wracking
    How could anyone think, that this bullshit would lead me to buy a subscription?

    Sorry for the off-topic rant, but that shit really hits a nerve
    Is my good old internet really gone to shit and the only way to get real information is through Gemini/Gopher?
    And while I’m on it: are there any search engines for that?
    I tried to build up some link lists/bookmarks for stuff I’m interested, but would be really cool to have a search engine for it - as there one existing I don’t know about, or do I use it wrong?



  • Well, that’s how I usually do my estimations on software projects.

    If I’d go through the work to make an exact estimation, most of the work would already be done - and then I still wouldn’t be 100% sure, that the approach works, until it’s tested

    So, I kinda eyeball what I’ll need to analyse the problem, create a concept, implement and test it - and leave some spare room for getting back to step 1.


  • All good, wasn’t even taking that in bad faith

    After ducking it, I saw what it meant.
    And it should have been quite obvious to me anyway, as we call them just wraps here.
    I was just confused about the ‘snack’ part, because a wrap here counts as a whole meal, like a burger, and not just a snack, which you’d do on the side or in-between meals.

    But really thanks for clarifying, I really appreciate it :⁠-⁠)
    And I do hope my answer doesn’t/didn’t came around wrong

    Edit: to maybe clarify, a snack would mean something like something I’ll take in a bite or two.
    But those are just culture differences, so either your wraps are just smaller to fit the definition of snacks, or we just have a bit of cultural difference here.
    From my side, no hard feelings, and I just read interested, if I’m missing out on something


  • Isn’t a wrap something, I’d put around food?

    I’m sorry, I’ve never heard of that and haven’t cared too search for it… So, yeah, maybe my fault

    But still, why should I name a food-something after a food-wrapping?
    I obviously just don’t really get it

    I think, it’s time for me, to start up DDG now

    Edit: oooh, it’s not just about the wrap of the snack, as the name would tell you
    It’s just a fucking wrap of whatever food

    So for at least some people in Europe, a Dürüm would be such a wrap.
    Which is fucking delicious.
    So, ok, I’m all for the wrap snack now.
    Although I don’t get, why they don’t specify what’s in it - but maybe there were options I don’t know about

    Edit 2: sorry for everyone but speaking German, I haven’t found a wiki page for Dürüms in English :⁠-⁠\




  • Thanks!

    I’m still naively optimistic somehow and think discussion is necessary.
    As long as the other part isn’t just a plain troll, I try to rip down illusional borders, because I think it’s important to understand the “other side”, because after all, we’re still in this shithole together.

    As said, this is a naive approach, which burns me up bit by bit, but I don’t see any other solution.
    Else we just gonna stay in our bubbles and then we wonder how so many people can be this idiotic.
    As long as we don’t understand the reasoning (if existing and not just some bullshit made up thing), we never gonna get back to consensus.

    But maybe you’re right in this case, and I just waste my time.
    In this case, thanks for your input!


  • Who demonizes children?
    China also pulled back from their 1-child policy and as far as I remember Russia never had something like that in place.

    And I think we’re globally already over the brink of sustainable humans.
    How should we be able to support all the newborn humans, if human population grows even more. Isn’t that bad for said children, if they can’t have enough…anything anymore?

    This obviously needs global solutions, as many societies would feel, that others are just overwhelming them, when they are producing more offspring.

    But what does this even have to do with abortion rights?
    If you have a condom accident and can’t afford to have a child, is it better to have the child live through worse conditions, than when planned?
    What about rape or medical, where the mother could die?

    This perspective seems quite narrow, but maybe I didn’t quite get your point.

    Edit: autocorrect and some beers…




  • Thanks

    I’ve pretty much left everything - couldn’t even pay myself an income anymore, because I just carry for him (in the first 2 months I was cooking every 2 hours for him, and then I’ll to 4 different things, so he would eat anything)

    I love him with my whole heart and pretty much nothing, but other love/wife, is important to me.

    So yeah, we keep fighting. But at the moment we are out of ideas and options, and just can wait…
