My dad always said there are two things to know about life....

1. Everyone makes it through life.

2. You can't wait until you have money to have kids. Poor people have kids and they still make it through. See No. 1.

@Eiswald @Humpleupagus @synapsid yeah i hear that all the time from so many people. "don't get married" and "don't have kids" are supposed to be jokes to them or something but i always have found it kind of disturbing, especially when people say that in front of their spouse and kids.

during the 2020 lockdowns when all the parents had their kids at home, i heard so many of them complaining about how they had to spend more time with their kids WHILE their kids were with them. it's like... you don't think that affects them at all?? fuckin crazy.

@beardalaxy @Humpleupagus @synapsid A bunch of fucking faggot boomers in my family and family adjacent repeated the line, "Don't get married and don't have kids." while I was growing up, often to resounding chuckles.
Only later in life did it click just how fucked up and evil that line was.
Relationships are different when you've built life together. I have a lot of older clients to are on their second or third marriages or have a girlfriend or domestic partner. It's all so very economic. "This is mine, that's yours." It's so cold in a way.

I've also spent almost every minute of my of my life with my wife since we got together. We're not codependent. We do our own things. She paints, sews, and plays piano. I work, play with my computers, and drum.

Nonetheless, we're rarely more than a ten feet apart. I've had many people describe us as being like a finely tuned clock. There's a groove we each fill. She washes the dishes, I put them in the washer. I vacuum while she sweeps. Etc.
Toyota is talking about putting out a $10,000 pickup truck called the IMV0. It's just a basic work truck, no fancy stuff.

If this thing makes it to American markets at anything remotely like that price, that could be the end of the big 3. This is what we need, not a new 100,000 fancy pants car.

@sj_zero the EU is preventing this by adding new regulations for bullshit safety features

@samuelmumm @m0urs @rahmstorf andersdenkende anpöbeln muss man eigentlich nur wenn man in den eigenen überzeugungen unsicher ist und sich selbst nicht mag :)

@genmaicha its a great hobby, I picked up a microscope the past couple years and looking at gross water is my favorite. Finding ostracods is probably one of my favorite little critters so far, but there's so many interesting things. I saw OP in the ebay suggestions because I've been following the sales of Klaus Kemp (RIP) slides, I think I got some absolute steals when his friend was selling some of his arrangements (diatoms, butterfly scales) early on, but it seems like others have found out and prices are being pushed up
Backpack update:

Waiting on a few aluminum adjusters from the UK, and another yard of custom fabric to finish the roll top extension collar
I don't think the people behind this movie understand what made the previous Beverly Hills Cop movies good, those movies were entertaining because they were cheesy over the top action movies with a Eddie Murphy doing a cheesy over the top impression of how a police detective would act. Having him back doing that same performance is alright and all but the modern cinematography and "dark, gritty, and realistic visuals" is just jarring.

> Einstimmigkeit ist in der EU schwer zu erreichen. Beim Gipfel in Brüssel gelang es nur dank einer Kaffeepause für Ungarns Premier Orban. Dauerhaft etablieren will Kanzler Scholz dies aber nicht.

Tagesschau ist echt wie diese ddr Magazine die ich mir mal eBay gekauft hab, peinliche performance

@kaputtnik oh man..

generelles misstrauen bezüglich menschen und gleichzeitiges vertrauen in technische lösungen ist auch so ein symptom der kaputten gesellschaft :/
