    Was out at a bar with my gf and another girl friend. Some random guy put his arm across my shoulder from behind and pulled up into my view, went "Heyyy prett- whoawhoa" cue nervous/awkward laugh. I guess, to him, I was the prettiest of the three girls until he realised there were only two girls and a guy hah

    Thanks for the input, I know my reply is plenty late x.x

    I totally get the "a full stop seems arrogant, which is why, unless I write formal mails for work or such, just skip the full stop in short one-sentence-answers or if a linebreak makes for better reading because my two or three sentences pertain to different topics.

    Thank you for the explanation and sorry that I got around to reading and relying to it half a month late. With how much Trump loves to insult personhoods, I'm surprised the Identity Attack seems to only be around 1,5% of the campaigns. Then again, the campaigns are written by someone who isn't Trump😅

    Memories once buried have been unearthed...

    But really, books already are not the way to make a fortune unless you are in the field of basically being able to dictate what books are used in every educational institution in an entire nation. How would they imagine a pirate, who shares these books, has server upkeep to pay and at best gets very sporadic donations, could afford a lavish lifestyle from this endeavour?

    Yeah. The clown award (and similar "derogatory" awards) giving the receiver Steam points is the worst thing that happened to the quality of posts/comments on the Steam forums. The first two comment pages on patchnotes of games like Helldivers 2 are almost exclusively pointfarmers doing their best to reap clown awards.

    What is that even supposed to imply? Is it supposed to mean "You're doing something right, if they try to assassinate you"? Well, have they heard about a certainly popular assassination target of the 20th century, Mustache Man? On the other hand, just because someone doesn't actively try to kill you, doesn't mean you're not important. Look at Merkel, for example. Once, a pretty controversial person to have become chancellor and quite important, too.

    I absolutely hate it. I understand the reasoning that banning the party would likely result in them just doing their stuff underground in an organization and place that you don't yet have infiltrated with spies, but holy fuck when will something fundamental happen to the AFD? We're dangerously close to repeating history.

    And I don't think I can trust on the whole "defensible democracy" thing anymore...

    Mhmm, I just noticed it yesterday when I first tried using it. But it doesn't seem all good, because apparently it only works (without any workarounds) if you are on the same network. My sister, who lives in the same country but 400 km away, couldn't join upon invitation :c

    You're right that these things have been happening for a while, but does it invalidate their actions now? Sure, it would've been better, had they said something earlier, but better do the right thing eventually than think "Eh, I didn't open my mouth the very first time so it's no use doing it now"...right?

    I wonder what they think of as high-end GPUs, though. I've been using a GTX 1060 to run my games for around two or three years and am mostly happy with performance vs quality. Would a GTX 1060 today be out of AMD's scope already or are we talking rivaling Nvidia's 40xx series today?

    Edit: If the video answers that, I apologise. I'm at work and can't watch it immediately

    A pretty good change for how I use Family Sharing. The only detriments seem to be the issue of the game owner being banned for violations of other family members and the 1 year cooldown between leaving and joining a family. Both should be manageable issues, though, if you're at the point of trusting someone enough to log into their machine with your credentials.

    I also answer all calls I get and (usually) call back if they missed me. I actively gave my number to one or two research groups for polls. They call maybe twice per year, so it's alright.

    As for scammers, maybe 10% of calls are of that sort and so far I enjoy messing with them when they call.

  • it's election season, Beehaw, so — what are your thoughts on compulsory (mandatory) voting?

    From reading this thread so far, there seem to be good arguments for mandatory voting in a similar fashion and infrastructure as it currently is set up in Australia.

    I still think compulsory voting isn't the best way, though. Instead, the focus should be on getting people interested in politics in the first place. With the big three or four parties in my country, I (and many others my age) feel like voting for them is useless, even if you agree with their campaign promises, because at most 5% of those promises will even be partly realised. Holding politicians accountable and punishing them appropriately for acting very far from their campaign promises should be established, otherwise the mental consensus will stay "Why vote for anyone, if they just do something entirely different anyway?"

    Oh, okay, I would like to apologise then for my harsh comment. I do agree that the longer I am with my gf and my women friends in general, the more I learn how fucked up life can be for women and that (sometimes) being unable to exist for a couple days every month is already on the lighter end of it because that's at least something you can "just suck up".

    Not sure if there's a better place to ask this. From what I understand, OsmAnd~ is basically a community-run version of the otherwise subscription-based OsmAnd+ To add POIs and make other changes to Open Street Map, I need to log into an editing account of sorts. Will this be fine or could my access to the app get wrecked in some way? After all, I am not subscribed to the "official" service.

    Hiya, I hope I'm not completely in the wrong place (/c/Technology seems to only be dedicated to tech news but not questions). I have this powerbank with a built-in solar panel. The powerbank itself seems great so far, but it's a pretty tiny solar panel. I've read about the difficulty of just hooking up a regular powerbank to a solar panel (spikes and dips in voltage due to clouds, people, etc.). But since this powerbank is already designed to be charged with solar energy, can I simply hook a big-ass solar panel onto it and recharge it much faster than the officially displayed "several days, depending on the weather"?

    Hey there, I hope question posts are okay. My fiancé and I are planning to turn our Dacia Dokker into this sorta mini camper amalgamation. Do any of you have experience with this sort of endeavor and can offer tricks or insightful knowledge? Edit: I should add that it's supposed to be modular. So luckily (or unfortunately?) I don't need help on how to permanently fix furniture onto the car frame.

    Not sure if this is a known problem, but for me it sometimes happens (especially when coming back to a browser tab after a few hours) that the comment threads and the main post are from two entirely different posts. Since it probably matters, I'm using beehaw via the Brave browser.

    I should probably go to bed at this point. I typed up a short story of my arduous attempts at defending an outpost in the STALKER modpack GAMMA and how my game crashed when I turned in the quest. Sent off that post and woe-is-me, the entire text didn't get submitted and I didn't have it saved in copy-paste. It's just so ironically fitting. So ya, what's something you'd like to ramble a bit about?
