I used to study from about 1 to 6 in the night. Basically when everything is closed and asleep. I then mostly listened to Binärpilot and Röyksopp. This was usually mere days before exams or when papers were due.
I somehow managed to finish studying, so it worked out fine. Work, being a parent and owning a house nearly broke me though. Currently trying to find new coping mechanisms. Fuck adult life.
I must admit, when I first started working after uni, I thought I was hot shit for flying domestically (Hamburg<>Munich). Even had my BlackBerry set to loud, so people know I don’t belong to the tourist shmucks. God fucking damn it, I’m cringing so hard at the memories. At least I was away for the entire week and not just a single meeting.
Traveling via ICE is so, sooo much better! I do miss the BlackBerry though. The iPhone keyboard is complete garbage in comparison. I keep the phone silent nowadays. Man, what a cringelord I was back then.
Social media lead to things like maga and the ruse of Nazis in Europe. It’s not necessarily tech itself that is making us dumb, it’s reeling people in through simplicity, then making them addicted to it and ultimately exploiting this.
Ich hasse Teams mit jeder Faser meines Daseins. Seitdem der Haufen Scheiße bei uns eingeführt wurde, komme ich nicht mehr zum Arbeiten, weil ständig irgendwelche Meetings erstellt werden und die Hemmschwelle, jemanden anzurufen komplett gefallen ist. Die verfickten Chats runden den Mist ab.
Früher gab es Emails, Telefonate und hin und wieder Kundenmeetings. Jetzt gibt es Emails, Telefonate, Online-Meetings, Chats und trotzdem noch IRL Kundenmeetings. Es ist zum Kotzen.
Was soll das mit den USA zu tun haben? Deutschland hat auch Waffen mit großer Reichweite.
Diggi, ACAB wird von so ziemlich jedem genutzt, der nicht CxU wählt. Also normal Denkende. Komm mal klar. Meine Fresse, Konservative sind solche Langweiler.
Anki is free. If you need gamification, then perhaps memrize is for you. I’d just go with anki though. Ankidroid is a good app to work with the anki decks.
It absolutely is. I live in a German village, only 3km away from a 100k settlement. While busses come every 10-20 minutes in the town, I get them once per hour and only in the morning and in the evening and that’s it.
The Narita Express also costs significantly more than the regular train into Tokyo. Airport trains have to account for travelers with a lot of luggage and thus can carry fewer people than regular trains.
Fun and atmospheric. Kids love it and that’s ok.
I still don’t get how these companies keep getting funded. There’s literally no way these things will ever become a thing. It’s simply ridiculous.
Congratulations man, this is uplifting news to me! Fuck cancer!
I can barely justify 50€ for a massive game like Baldur’s Gate 3. I’d never pay that much for any other game that is not on this scale. But 80 bucks? The fuck are they thinking?
Shit, you’re right! I had more of a Hiphop vibe in my memory. I love how the Klingon is so annoyed that he can’t prevent the singing. Peak comedy.
I found SNW to be a fresh breath of air after the garbage that Disco was. Sure, some filler episodes were weird, but at least I got a chuckle out of the Klingons rapping.
Yeah, here we are. The majority of humanity addicted to social media, being brainwashed by far-right assholes into voting for Nazis. That worked out really well, didn’t it?
I have a feeling we’re talking about different things. I just wanted to add to the OP that a life with ADHD does have an effect on your character. I didn’t want to put any value into whether that is good or not.
No, but everything that happened around this illness did have an impact on my life. Learning to live with it (unknowingly), all the difficulties I have faced and somewhat overcome did build a certain character. Character isn’t something you’re born with. It’s how you interact with your surroundings that builds your character. Whether I like it or not. 40 years of this shit has an impact on how you do things, the friends you make, everything. Claiming that this hasn’t formed my character would be a lie. I’m definitely not over it. I got diagnosed because work became too difficult to handle and I sought help, believing it was a depression or a burnout. I never knew it was ADHD (and depressions from the shit i had to go through in my childhood) up until very recently. I’m now getting treated and it is an absolute godsend. And that’s just therapy. Meds are coming soon. Still have to go through some medical hurdles first but I’m very eager to find out how meds will have an impact. Looking back at what I could have achieved without this illness really brings me to tears at times.
So again, if I could travel back in time and were able to eliminate this illness from the beginning, I wouldn’t hesitate a bit. It might have made me a different person than I am now, but I’m very sure life would have been easier.
I believe it was because CAD was already under fire by 4chan for being a subpar gaming comic. This just delivered meme material.
It definitely is the enabler though. Without social media, propaganda could never have spread as fast. And it also brought together every village idiot. I know of simpleminded people who never uttered a racist word in their lives before. Now all they talk about is how the AfD will save Germany from the brown people. This is literally brainwashing. So I stand by my comment that social media is the cause of all this.
