This is the double standard I hate so much about violence / porn / swearing.

Kids are watching ultra violent game streams? No one gives a shit.

The second a bad word has been said on a stream or a bit of nudity is shown, people are losing their god damn minds.

You know, sometimes I feel bad about gambling some money away on the stock market and feel a bit like a failure. But then I come across posts like these and I remember that at least I do not fuck up on a colossal scale like this.

You have to be harsh, otherwise nobody gets to play. When we started our new group we made sure to inform everyone that playing DnD is not to be treated as a secondary hobby that can just be canceled for other stuff all the time. Make it your priority, plan other things around the sessions if you want to play with that group. Of course, any emergencies excluded but otherwise treat it as if it is your sport club training. If you miss too many sessions, you’re out.

I know this sounds super arrogant and mean, but it’s the only thing that works consistently. Also filters out friends who are not ready or able to commit that much time for playing.

Richtig erkannt - genau das wollte ich mit dem Wort nicht nur suggerieren, ich wollte es explizit damit ausdrücken. Ich diskutiere nicht mit jemandem, der nicht anerkennen kann, dass auf beiden Seiten in den letzten Monaten sinnlos und wahllos Menschen getötet wurden. Egal auf welcher “Seite” man steht, die sinnlose Verschwendung von Menschenleben müsste einem IMMER zu denken geben.

Ob und wie du ein Töten durch irgendjemanden als “gerechtfertigt” siehst, ist mir egal, weil es das einfach nicht ist.

Die Vergleiche mit diesen spezifischen Begriffen sind vielleicht absurd. Das bedeutet aber noch lange nicht, dass Israel vor jeder Kritik zu schützen ist und nie etwas falsch gemacht hat, wie es in diesem Interview rüberkommt.

Ist auch immer wieder schön, wie wir über die korrekte Verwendung von Vergleichsbegriffen diskutieren, während dort unten die Menschen auf beiden Seiten dahingeschlachtet werden.

And pushed Linux gaming into the spotlight once again!

While the comic combined with the text has a bit of an edgy vibe, I agree with the overall message. Advertising was just decided upon to be an acceptable way to force people to look at whatever. And no, it’s not always an option to “just don’t look at it if you don’t like it”. I fucking hate those advertising TVs that get set up all over my city, they grab your attention even more than regular billboards.

Your point with the “great” things is so true. All the “great” people of history that get remembered for a really long time are mostly some despots / royalty / tyrants that have done TERRIBLE things. Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Hannibal etc. and we now treat them like some super geniuses that built great empires. Some of them are even ‘worshipped’ in pop culture. Oh and yeah they killed a bunch of people but eh… price of being a great man I guess.

I wonder if Hitler will ever be talked about like this.

Ah yes, please acknowledge the good we are doing in this world: The bare fucking minimum.

What the fuck. Now go after their clients.
