In 1998, who could have predicted that in 2025, users would be the lords of porn pop-ups?
Forcing the Eye of Microsoft to gaze my mommy milker daddy dwarf bangers is truly the quintessential example of that which is nameless in the Tao.
Oh I see I see it’s the stump has sprouts and they will maybe grow? That’s fantastic news! I wish the tree well. It’s probably wondering what the f happened. Hadrian’s wall is a cool place to set down roots. I hope the tree is stubborn as hell and can start a new life.
They were grown ass men. Why the hell would they kill a living being like that? Trees talk to each other and they live well beyond our human years. The local area belongs more to the tree than any individual man—they’ll be here for centuries beyond us if they are lucky.
People don’t respect trees as much as they do animals and I do think that’s wrong. We should be very mindful of how we treat trees. I think we arrogantly underestimate plant life.
I’m sure some dwarves would call me a dirty elf for my feelings on this but chopping down trees like this for no reason is painful. I hope they get everything they deserve.
Morrowind was my first Elderscrolls game. I loved morrowind and I would buy an remaster of it.
Oblivion came out when I was an adult. I sunk thousands of hours into it when it came out. It was my favorite game by far at that time.
Skyrim I didn’t enjoy. It was fine, I guess. But by the time Skyrim came around I started to see Bethesda change. Fallout 4 and then Fallout 76 sealed the deal for me turning from a Bethesda fanboy to a hater.
Overall, I do not believe Bethesda will ever put out another new original game that is polished or quality. Bethesda rips off their biggest supporters and lies to their customers.
That being said. I’m very happy with this remake. Because it’s been 20 years since I first played, I genuinely only remember a few strong moments. All the minor quests and even the main story I barely remember the details of. So, it’s nice to revisit the game as a more mature adult. I think they did a fantastic job keeping the feel the same but it looks great considering.
Can’t run it on my LegionGo that’s my only complaint. I’m happy with having bought the remastered version of Oblivion because I’m sure as hell never buying a new original game from Bethesda ever again. Not unless they do an about face.
You’re a genius. I’m on it.
Always split the cache up. Some behind a fireplace suspended from a rope anchored in your attic. Some behind baseboard that isn’t nailed down. Some in the toilet tank. Don’t waste it all on the backyard.
Interesting. If I didn’t know better—this Judas sect sounds like it could be a Taoist offshoot! Similar philosophy about the world giving body to both “bad” and “good” and sometimes “bad” can make “good” come to fruition.
Neat I’ll look up more about them thanks.
I second this—you can distill your own rose water from flowers. I’m sure you can find flowers to ethically source that would be quality for this purpose.
Edit: oh I see you said rose water is toxic to marine life? That’s unfortunate
Ok I will! Thank youuuu
Wow thank you for sharing all this and taking the time to explain to me. This is so sad and confusing about wintermute. I hope that against the odds wintermute comes back to us one day.
I feel very happy to have found you all and I would like to support our instance in whatever way I can. Vielen Dank ❤️
I actually knew this! The creation origin is why I inhabit feddit.org consciously. In a dying instance, you found each other and came together to build where we speak now. I found that very human. Poignant.
I did a dive on the history of Feddit.org. I went back and read all your (our I guess) original threads. I have also read the posts where the decision was made to changeover. I liked that the posts were kind, empathetic, although slightly sad. It made me understand the spirit of this instance.
So, it’s true that no one has had contact with him? No one has any scraps of information from his real life? My guess is some of us do and the leads were exhausted. I have tracked down a fair share of anonymous friends across the world whom have disappeared. That is very sad.
I didn’t know about the “Fediverse Foundation” nor the multiple Admin. Where may I learn more about this? Or is this just word of mouth?
Thank you for sharing.
Entschuldigung, was steht auf der Speisekarte? VERTIEFUNG DER DEUTSCHEN SPRACHKENNTNISSE
I believe it. They disavow that they take any recordings of us before we approach but, while I’m not a suspicious person, I am suspicious of TSA and HLS. Heads up they’re going to start scanning our faces at physical border crossings in cars now too. We have the same right to refuse as citizens but you know how good that is if you’re dealing with a crooked agent.
Masks help when approaching but obviously not a cure all when you have to move it to be identified by card
I hate that this is a conversation we are having.
Correct just citizens

Haha I was kind of being a bit tongue in cheek and joking around about the state of the world. I’m sorry if it came off as super serious—I was making a goofy comment.
The entire world feels like a matchstick—will it snap or set itself on fire?
I do believe Germany is leading the world right now but that is not a great development. It’s actually a position that reinforces and exposes how fucked we all are. I also think that Germany’s leadership is incredibly tentative and fragile. Germany reminds me of America way too much in the worst ways.
The state of German politics and the rise of authoritarianism in Germany is something I worry about, genuinely, daily. I follow your elections closely and your politics.
This is the real reason I started learning German. Because I have no illusions that human decency will continue standing. Most of our shared suffering is because economically we are all being crushed by a few outrageously rich evil entities. We face this together.
I do appreciate your perspective though and I am aware of what’s going on there with the Ausländer and systemic issues. It’s scary honestly and I’m sorry if my joking made it seem like I was making light of these issues—I never meant it to come across that way.
As for the crisis with your cost of living, economic opportunity and especially securing affordable housing. I saw one German comedy video put it succinctly: Was wollen Die Parteien eigentlich machen mit meinen hohen Lebenshaltungskosten zu helfen?
And the “answer“ from every Partie was: Also wir wollen dir helfen indem wir Ausländer abschieben!
Actually, I’m a lawyer so I appreciate the detail you put in to explain because the Tägliche Nachrichten I can read doesn’t go into detail like you have—so thanks!
In America you can refuse to have your biometrics scanned still. This is true for coming into and out internationally. Just politely say no. They cannot force you to scan your face. I always refuse.
We can be more creative than that

It’s because I’m specifically learning German and the universe shifted to my will. The universe created feddit.org to give me a clear path to achieve my goal of befriending Germans.
This only happpened because me, Tischbier, decided to take an interest in Germany.
You’re welcome.
(Joking aside, I noticed on Reddit before I left and before I started to learn German, that ich_irl was hitting the front page a lot too. My family decided to learn German together probably in part because of how funny Germans are. I watch German YouTubers now too (Spacefrogs and Staiy). Germany is a pretty big country and I think them the top leader of the free world! I have enjoyed reading the actual Germans takes on this topic. Prost!)
Known troll trolling again.
