Fr, if earl grey doesn’t count I’m lost

It is widely assumed that the edge human species had was the ability for long distance movement through a high ability to regulate the body temperature very effectively. Through that humans were able to secure a steady and relatively safe and reliable supply of important nutrients, which allowed, among others, the human brain to develop further.

This gave the human species the foundation to grow and settle in other environments and also to focus time and energy on other things like learning to throw or craft tools and weapons, which then solidified and expanded the advantage that had been achieved by very unique biological traits.

So one probably wasn’t possible without the other, but the human species needed both of those developments to make it into the dominant species it now is. It’s not a question of one or the other, one came first and was necessary to be able to develop the second, so in a way you’re right and wrong.

Why would anyone else’s?

I like when people loudly broadcast that they are assholes, I tend to believe them and can steer clear of them :)

Fühl dich gedrückt, unbekannterweise. Verlust und Trennungen tun scheiße weh, wie auch immer sie zustande kommen. Lass dir nix erzählen von wegen “nur ein dreiviertel Jahr” und “Leg dir ein dickes Fell zu”, die haben keine Ahnung, eine Trennung nach zwei Wochen kann auch Herz zerreißend sein.

Wie du darum trauerst ist deine Sache, nur ehrlich musst du mit dir sein. Nimm dir Zeit dafür, aber vergiss nicht auch nach vorne zu schauen, da draußen ist eine wundervolle Welt mit wundervollen Menschen darin (klar auch ne Menge Arschlöcher, aber wer braucht die schon).

Nachdem ich erwachsen genug geworden war, konnte ich auch aus jeder Trennung und jedem Verlust was lernen und damit wachsen, ich hab viel über mich selbst gelernt und behaupte, jedes Mal etwas klüger, etwas reifer und etwas einfühlsamer geworden zu sein.

Eine Freundin von mir hat vor einigen Jahren eine gute Freundin durch Suizid verloren, was sie in eine tiefe krise gestürzt hat, Depressionen, Anorexie, Auto Aggression, Schuldgefühle. Sie hat einige Jahre danach mal gesagt: “Ich bin x mittlerweile fast dankbar. Ohne das, wäre ich heute nicht der Mensch der ich jetzt bin.” Manchmal sind die Steine die uns das Leben in den Weg legt auch nur das Fundament auf dem man später bauen kann, aber nur, wenn man auch die Arbeit reinsteckt das alles richtig zu verarbeiten und zu verstehen.

Genug Psycho Geschwafel - alles gute dir fremder, Pass auf dich auf :)

I feel personally attacked.

Although I’ve gotten better with this. I used to write to one of our suppliers like this, always friendly, always with a personal note

I would write stuff like: "Hey, it’s been another year, thanks for the good partnership, we appreciate working with you guys. We would like to change the delivery to a new pattern on our part now which will greatly improve our efficiency in saving some work and commute hours, I hope it will fit your schedule. Hope to hear from you soon, best wishes Lupus " And I always got replies like “Works for us, cheers Mike”

So I just started to mirror his style at some point " Hey Mike, new schedule is Thursdays at 12, please confirm. Cheers Lupus" and I was super happy how I managed to fire of that Email in under 30 seconds. The first reply I got was the same way I used to write them, Mike even made a joke in it! Now I’m confused and back to square one.

I mean drowning it in ranch dressing might be unhealthy but if you make a nice light dressing with some linseed oil, some herbs and vinegar it can be even healthier!

Linseed oil is rich in omega 3 fats, can help the metabolism with extracting some minerals from the salad and is helping bowel movement.

Wanted to say, I have two smaller ones and a medium mall, all within a 5 minute walk, all of them busy. But all of them also include supermarkets, the Aldi I always go to is in one. Its super convenient, when I come from work by train, I walk 1 minute from the station through the mall to the supermarket, pick up some stuff, exit on the other side of the mall and walk like 3 minutes home.

I snooped around a little in the sub and there is this one girl, whose only other posts in different communities talk about being sexually assaulted multiple times by her ex boyfriend, who I suppose is real.

I figure a chatbot boyfriend can’t physically threaten or harm her, so she kind of dives into this to feel loved without having to fear harm.

I honestly understand her desire and feel for her, although this deep attachment is still unhealthy.

I imagine she’s not the only one having a super sad story to end up in this state of mind

Username passt zum negativ Beispiel ^^

Und: immer Respekt vorm Wasser haben, gerade natürliche gewässer sind nicht zu unterschätzen, da gibt es viele unsichtbare gefahren.

Ich bin selbst jahrelange DLRG Schwimmer gewesen und bin mal durch unüberlegtes handeln im Atlantik in eine brenzlige Situation gekommen. Ich wurde von der strömung erfasst und raus gezogen, das ging so schnell und unbemerkt, ich habe es quasi erst realisiert, als ich merkte, dass der Strand sich immer weiter entfernt, ohne, dass ich selbst geschwommen bin. Meine Rettung war, dass ich ein guter und selbstbewusster Schwimmer bin und mich vorsichtig seitlich aus der strömung befreien konnte.

Aber es gab einen Moment, wo ich gespürt habe, wie mich Panik überkommt. Das war wie eine Hand, die sich um meinen Hals gelegt hat und langsam zugedrückt hat. “Fuck, ich habe keine Kontrolle über was hier gerade passiert!” Ich konnte diese Panik nieder kämpfen, aber wie gesagt nur, weil ich ein geübter und selbstbewusster Schwimmer bin. Aber selbst mit der Übung und Erfahrung hätte das ohne weiteres auch sehr viel schlimmer ausgehen können, seitdem behandle ich natürliche gewässer mit noch mehr Respekt.

Personen in Not überhaupt zu erkennen, ist schwieriger als gedacht. “Die meisten Menschen stellen sich Ertrinken falsch vor”, sagt der erfahrene Rettungsschwimmer Carsten Kolberg. Das gängige Bild vom panisch schreienden Menschen, der mit den Armen fuchtelnd um Hilfe ruft, sei eher selten. In der Realität verlaufe Ertrinken meist still und unspektakulär. Die Betroffenen hätten oft nicht mehr die Kraft, sich bemerkbar zu machen. Sie verlieren langsam die Kontrolle, sacken ab, wirken orientierungslos.

Extrem wichtig.

I’d say we eat almost everything. Aside from deep sea creatures, which are basically impossible to harvest for food, we tend to stay away from heavy poisonous species like the blue ringed octopus, poison arrow frogs, cone snails. But other than those pretty much anything goes.

Afaik humans eat all of those animals.

He was very self critical so he refused to publish most of his work, but he was still published and acknowledged during his lifetime although not with the world fame he has now, other famous German speaking authors mention and acknowledge his work during the 20s. Also he died very young, so most of his work was unfinished.

Some argue that, after he wrote “The judgement” in just 8 hours one night, a fiery explosion of creativity and geniality, he was often disillusioned with the slow and exhausting progress most of his other work made.

A lot of his work was unpublished and unfinished until his friend Max Brod published it posthumously against his wishes.

That he died penniless can be described as an exaggeration, he was very successful in his daytime job, although he was not fond of it. But he never managed to earn a living as a writer, so much is true.

Will absolutely do, after writing this comment I pulled out Metamorphosis and read the first couple pages again and it’s just so good. Like I said the societal observations are so sharp, I am German native and even more than a hundred years later it is still on point, everybody trying to bring a rational attitude in a otherwise completely absurd situation.

It reminds me a little of the German comedian Loriot, he also had a way of describing exactly that. There is a Loriot sketch where a man enters a bathroom in a hotel, to get a bath, just to find another man sitting in the bathtub. So he gets into the bathtub with him and they start to argue with each other about if they want to have water now and later about if the rubber ducky can also join in the tub, without ever really addressing that they are together in a bathtub. All the while they stay perfectly polite with each other, using each other’s full names and titles (Herr Müller-Lüdenscheid! I insist that you water the duck now! - Herr Doktor Knöbel, my duck won’t share the tub with you!). It is so absurd it brings me to tears laughing.

And that JSTOR didn’t want sue him, it was the DA pursuing it. Afaik JSTOR even published the articles in question for free 3 months after he downloaded them, basically agreeing with his criticism.

I don’t know it just seems too on the nose, the ancient “expand the list” joke framework, picking a word that would become unintelligible when properly censored, then using the lazy censoring, censoring the first ass but leaving the second one untouched.

I am honestly not sure if it’s a joke or not, but it feels like one.

Edit: maybe I just wanted it to be a meta joke, because the “expand the list” thing has run its course for me by now. Seeing it with the censoring removed makes it less funny for me, like a minions meme or something

In my highschool German class we read Kafkas “Metamorphosis”, it gave me weird dreams for weeks.

In a literary sense it’s a masterpiece, simple yet intricate. The first sentence alone is genius :

“Als Gregor Samsa eines Morgens aus unruhigen Träumen erwachte, fand er sich in seinem Bett zu einem ungeheuren Ungeziefer verwandelt”

“As Gregor Samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect”.

No backstory, no explanation, the reader is left with the same confusion as the characters. Then the societal observations he weaves in are sharp yet puzzling.

I recommend it highly, but be prepared for strangeness and being left with an uneasy feeling.
