Columbus and After Yang by Kogonada. These are such beautiful, contemplative films.

You could give it to a pig/chicken farm, or compost it at the very least.

About the ethics of murder or other crimes in alternate universes : I actually pondered this quite a bit before. Imagine a world where accessing parallel realities is accessible to everyone (wether it be time traveling or “booking” a divergent universe to do as you wish). Well it could be morally accepted that it’s an OK means of stress relief to insult, vandalize, harm, kill torture in these realities (as long as you behave in the main reality). My conclusion is that hurting people is wrong, even if you can revert the timeline or delete the universe as if you hadn’t done anything. Hurting people in the moment is wrong even if there are no consequences on the world around you, because there is still a lasting change on yourself.

Thanks for that, I didn’t know about all that drama. I’ll surely look up [email protected]

[email protected] That’s where I find the funniest memes. And it’s respectful of everyone regardless of gender, ethnic group and so on.

You got me! It was my inner french that seeped into my english 😄

1. France (born in it)
2. Germany: (grandparents live next door on the border. I have great memories of tasty sausages and cool public playgrounds from my youth)
3. Germany: (again) as an exchange student in middle school. I still have a seering memory that I didn’t even know what my home region name was in German (Lorraine = Löthringen)
4. Luxemburg: dad was a smoker, cigarettes were cheap there, end of story?
5. UK: went three time, in middle school, high school and with family. Best time was in high school when I boarded at this Elvis double’s. We always listened to great music and he made pancakes EVERY morning ❤️
6. Denmark: exchange student in high school. It’s a beatiful country with great history. Too bad that my pen pal/exchange student and I were both timid :[
7. Catalogna, Spain: with friends. Lasting memory is that I took some pleasure swimming again there. Wasn’t my thing since PE teacher said to my face I could’nt swim… 😬

Looking back, I’m quite privileged 😅

It’s not online but at my usual bar I often get into arguments with a monarchist guy and a free-market/deregulation dude. They often tell me they’ll someday manage to make me “take the red pill”. It’s kind of annoying for them to disregard my views like that. That’s why I don’t actively try to change theirs.

That’s so cool! Now I’m ashamed of my boring wooden rectangle bases. 😅

You’ve got a few episodes of Love Death and Robots that really have that twilight Zone feel (and some are set in space!). That’s also the case for the pacman episode of Secret Level. This one gave me chills down my spine. 😅

Yeah… they’re already in a bad spot. But one can always dig oneself into a deeper hole.

The US won’t annex Greenland, that would basically make a pariah of them on the international scene. Like Russia there would be economic sanctions, trade deals would be broken, american assets abroad would be seized and this could include american military bases. So yeah, most likely the US governmint is gonna keep acting like a childish bully trying to drive a wedge between Greenland and Denmark. And maybe between every european nations…

Nerdwriter once made a video about how Passengers could have been a horror/thriller (and a better movie) if it had been told through the point of view of Jennifer Lawrence instead of Chris Pratt’s. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gksxu-yeWcU

Well, think of WHO as the 'least bad source of information", not the absolute truth provider. To get closer to the truth, you’d need to do a bit of journalist work: do a background check on the scientists involved (what have they published? Is their work respected by their peers? Have they been approached by lobbies?) and compare different sources (for instance, look at what the Robert Koch Institut in Germany and the Institut Pasteur in France have to say). But, to do that you might need to speak several languages, but above all, you would need a lot of time for research. So checking the most reliable source is generally the practical course of action for most people.

Like mathematician August Ferdinand Möbius, at 77, in Leipzig?

You should take everything you hear on the internet with a grain of salt (including here). You should really trust the guidelines of your country’s health ministry or the WHO. Then again, the WHO has said some crazy shit in the past…

This is beyond midly infuriating, it could actually be crossposted on [email protected] given the insanity of it.

I would rather go looking in a bar or a club. It’s a bit warmer there.

I prefer the French Left take on the idea. They did a campaign awhile back titled: “The fascists are voting, are you?” With a big portrait of the most well-known far right politician in the country. In the end they had to pay a 3000€ fine but I’d say it was worth it.

For two females, you would have to implant one egg’s DNA into a sperm whose DNA was “stripped out” And for two males, the same but transferred into an egg. I’d say it could be done in the near future with the progress we did with CRISPR in the last decade, for instance.
