Same here. It's not so bad. It get's really bad when I have to work on older PHP5 projects, though. Or shudder WordPress projects without OOP.

Ich betrete heute auch keinen Aufzug mehr, in dem nur eine Frau steht. Was mache ich, wenn sie im zweiten Stock rausrennt und ruft: »#MeToo, der hat mich angefasst!«?

Der hat ja vor paar Jahren schon angefangen, langsam Scheiße zu labern, aber mittlerweile ist dem glaub ich alles scheißegal und er haut einfach raus.

Schön, dass wir diesen Schmierlappen jahrelang alle finanziert haben.

Vollste Zustimmung. Ich wohne aktuell noch in einer Einraumwohnung mit Balkon. Lüften ist nur nachts um 3 möglich, wenn die versifften Raucher endlich mal pennen gegangen sind. Absolute Hölle.

Das klingt erstmal super positiv, bis man den Satz

Die Kaufkraftverluste der Vorjahre konnten demnach etwa zur Hälfte kompensiert werden

liest.

I like movies and I like the atmosphere at my local cinema. I'm going there almost every week. Most of the time I bring my own snacks. I think they just ignore me because I'm like...their best customer, lol. :D

I do order a drink every time. But eating popcorn or nachos every week sounds like a nightmare, and that's all they have there.

When I was in my 20's, I always gave 200% at the jobs I worked at. I was young and naive and believed I would eventually be rewarded for all the hard work I put in, even on weekends and night shifts.

Then I got burnout, because I was working at a pace my body just couldn't sustain anymore.

It changed my life drastically. I learned to value my health and free time and to prioritize that over the needs of my employer. I learned that hard work doesn't neccessarily bring you any benefits, it mostly benefits your employer. I also learned that nobody cares when your health is fucked up - for your employer, you're just a cog in the machine that can be replaced.

Nowadays I only work four days a week and I don't give a shit about what happens on Fridays anymore. Server is down? Not my problem, get someone else to fix it.

I also learned to stand up for myself. I'm not getting paid like a monkey anymore and if you promise me a raise and then pretend like that never happened afterwards, you'll have my resignation on your desk, printed out by the company printer right in front of you.

Ich bin Mitte 30 und somit schon alt (sorry, Mittdreißiger). Mir geht es auch nicht wirklich gut, und das obwohl ich in einer relativ privilegierten Position in dieser Gesellschaft bin. Ich verdiene gut und muss Freitags nicht arbeiten, kann also viele Dinge tun, die mir Freude bereiten, weil ich die Zeit, Kraft und die finanziellen Möglichkeiten dazu habe.

Dennoch macht es mich unendlich traurig zu sehen, dass unser Land von Greisen regiert wird, Ewiggestrige wie Friedrich Merz tatsächlich mögliche Kanzlerkandidaten sind, der Faschismus wieder so salonfähig geworden ist, dass sämtliche andere Parteien die Narrative der AfD aufgreifen und dass die Reichen immer reicher werden (was nicht nur für Individuen gilt, sondern auch für Firmen wie amazon & Co.). Vieles von unserem Wohlstand basiert auf der Ausbeutung anderer Menschen und das ist ein inhärent ungerechtes und widerliches System - und niemand hinterfragt es.

Das Schlimmste daran ist, dass man bei den Wahlen zwar sein Kreuz an der richtigen Stelle setzen kann, aber sich gefühlt leider nicht viel ändert, da der Großteil der Gesellschaft entweder anders denkt als man selbst oder auf Populisten und Social Media reinfällt.

Wir wussten ja alle, dass das irgendwann passiert. Aber dennoch ist es irgendwie traurig. 😥

There is a curated list of "no-bullshit" mobile games, without microtransactions and all of that horrible stuff: https://nobsgames.stavros.io/

My favorites so far:

• Monument Valley 1+2
• Riptide GP: Renegade
• Badland
• Galaxy on Fire 2 HD

Ich hab gerade erst eine fette Gehaltserhöhung bekommen, "trotz" 4-Tage-Woche und 100% Homeoffice. Weiß mein Chef denn nicht, dass wir unseren Wohlstand so nicht erhalten können?

Die Frage ist ja, was "wir müssen an die Grundstrukturen heran" für Merz bedeutet. Verpflichtende 40h-Woche für alle? Viel Glück bei dem Versuch, das durchzusetzen.

• proper adblocking with AdAway
• ability to patch official apps to remove ads and improve the usability with ReVanced
• being able to root the device and use HttpToolkit to analyze the data that flows from apps to the web
• extensive customization (I can choose my own launcher and keyboard application)
• proper file management, especially with Total Commander
• watching Dolby Vision .mkv files with mpv
• price (iPhones are all way too expensive)
• Apple's stance against repairability

And this point is more hardware-related, but I've started to really love my Nothing Phone and its LED lights on the back, which produces amazing photos because the light is much softer than the small flash used by other phones. There isn't a single Apple device with a feature like this. You could probably get a case, but it's nice to have this integrated into the phone.

I met a girl in art school and lost track of her for a few years. During the pandemic we found each other again. He was trans now, identified as a male and had massive anxiety and body-image related problems.

It was so bad, that he stayed at home for weeks, only ordered food and basic needs online and got an instant panic attack when leaving the house.

I dragged him out to various events and spent time with him as much as possible for almost two years. It helped him get back on his feet.

As soon as he was able to handle his life without my help again and met another guy, he ghosted me.

That hurt a lot, but I would do it again. I still remember visiting him one day and he just started cutting into his arm in front of me because of his mental issues, it was really brutal. I would've felt like an absolute asshole if I left right then and there, even if the outcome wasn't positive for me in the end.

I hope he's doing well now and maybe one day realizes that he shouldn't have treated me the way he did. I don't want gratitude, but an apology would be nice.
