A human on earth. Ask me about weird tech. Bonus points if it radiates.
Depends? Shady part of the city, late night, slightly drunk and alone? Absolutely. Going for lunch in a nic small town? Absolutely not. The street sign I run into would probably tell me it’s sorry.
So, yeah, depends on the situation. I’ve had most negative interactions either in crowds or at places like train stations, so that is where I am most paranoid
100%. Same reasoning I have for mandatory civil service (instead of military). Even just a shared memory of how doing it sucked balls could do wonders for social cohesion.
Why do you have issues with liquids? Because of the chance of leaks?
Personally, I think 1l or so of oil is pretty handy, and coolant can be topped up with water in an emergency (do ensure the correct amount of actual “coolant” is in there, in a non-emergency, because corrosion is not fun. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think brake fluid is worth it, if there is a situation where I find myself without brake fluid, I probably can’t do anything with small tools.
IMHO it is worth the risk. If I lived away from gas stations, I would probably also have a fuel can.
Naja. Wenn ich so eine im Wohnzimmer stehen hätte, würde ich erst mal nach dem Durchsuchungsbefehl fragen.
Jo. Wildschweine sind die einzigen Viecher, vor denen ich bei uns im Wald Angst hätte. Alles andere haut lieber ab. Aber Wildschweine können auch mal beschließen, dass du heute nicht nach Hause kommst, weil du zu nah bei den kleinen bist.
I like your optimism, but sadly I cannot share it…
Fair point.
Maybe I feel like this because I’ve been in the same situation before, where it felt like I had exhausted all social options in my comfort zone. Asking random strangers is nice sometimes, because it gives you perspective and feedback from people who are out of your own bubble. Or, at least, a way to vent your frustration without risking to alienate your friends.
Unfortunate :(
Although, this still reads like “standard” stuff like using google analytics or a Facebook plugin. To me, this does not seem to be any worse than most mainstream sites.
Of course, modern internet sucks balls, don’t get me wrong.
No offense, but “be content in being alone” is not a good answer to “how do I meet new people for a chill time”
I just quickly read through them, and it just sounded like the usual “we run as here”. Could you specify it a bit? Or take a screenshot of the relevant part?
+1 for hiking groups/clubs. It usually consists of lonely people who spend too much time inside, I made some friends that way.
Obviously, don’t suggest a hike to the deep forest with convenient lack of phone service and witnesses as a first date :)
Ganz klassisch, sich mal weg ballern.
Okay, es ist wichtig, Themen mal anzusprechen, klar. Aber liegt das an mir, oder ist die taz mittlerweile die Zeitung von denen, die zu wenig Probleme haben?
Freundschaften vs Kinderwunsch ist jetzt nicht so in meinen top 100 Dingen, denen die einzige halbwegs mainstream-taugliche linke Zeitung einen Platz geben sollten. Hab in letzter Zeit eine Menge von Artikeln gehabt, wo ich mir dachte, den Sauerstoff, den den Autor beim Schreiben geatmet hat, hätte er irgendwie sinnvoller nutzen können.
I would suggest lying. Like when an employer asks you about your position on unions.
Mimicry not, but a lot of “cute” behaviour is absolutely learned. If our dog wants something, she pokes you with her paw while making a cute face. Must have learned that from her previous owners. Our previous dog (who we had for much longer) never did that. That shit is 100% conscious effort, as in she observed humans tapping each other on the shoulder and figuring out that it works for her as well.
Depending on how you land, you might be quite limited in positions anyway
Oh wow. I was referring to aggressive beggars or pickpockets. That seems like a whole different category of problems.
