  • Disco is terrible, lazy writing. It’s just endless word vomit.

    I like literature, smart word play. but this ain’t that. This is just throwing everything including piss, vomit, semen and feces on the wall and see what sticks. And in a lot of early game scenes it’s this quite literally.

    Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that Disco is not for everyone. You love it or it makes you nauseous. There is nothing in between. And you only know which one is you when you try it.


  • Hell no.

    Are you u all living in rosy mc Rosewood Santa’s little safe harbour everything is fine and dandy rainbow world? Or are you all lying through your teeth?

    Letting someone in your home with clearly visible psychological issues, in your circle of trust, filled with those you hold most dearly and packed with your dearest memories, that place… And then letting someone in you know nothing about?

    Hell fucking no.

    In the real world letting some rando homeless dude in your home has a 50/50 chance of ending up in crazy town. There is a high probability that you, yours or your stuff get fucked up. I cannot and will not accept those odds. Even a 2% chance of shit happening is a risk I’m unwilling to take when it comes to my kids.

    Would I help him? Maybe. It depends on some factors (like can I at that specific time, did I help him out earlier, do I have cash on hand) Would I let him in? No f-ing way.

    So real answer: money: maybe, eat & drink: anytime. Clothes: I’ve got some you can have, no problem. Bath and clean: nope. Never.




  • Large cities, big tourist spots? Yes. Go in land and it’s game over. I’ve been in cajarc (beautiful spot, really!) this year, it’s on one of the compostela routes so they get a lot of pelgrims from al over the world. 1 waiter spoke good enough English to have a conversation with. 1.

    You’re American. Marketing data says that you like all things French and Italian.

    Guess what happens next in this salesforce driven industry?

    :)

    East of Munich you’re best bet is German, but English is also spoken widely. West of Munich you’re more or less fine with English. In the northern countries we are used to the fact no one speaks our language so we all speak English, a lot of people French and a lot of German because it’s close to our own.

    Italians try English. As do most Spanish. Try is the magic word here, it’s like your Spanish after high school or my French. :)

    French don’t try. They speak French. Period. In hotels etc. (tourist spots) English is spoken by few employees. But they are there. :)

    In the balkans the situation is mixed. Some parts English, some German, some French, some Russian. I get by with an English/German mix in Croatia. my German is better then my French… But not a lot). Here in the Netherlands my level of German is widely called “steenkolen Duits” (coal German) because it’s course, harsh, hard and dirty)

    Anyway you’ll be fine. Have a great vacation.


  • Check. I’m here not there anymore.

    But, I do have something to say about the lemmy experience. It’s not that there’s less. There is but i don’t think that an issue.

    What I do have an issue with is the insane amount of politically charged posts. It’s almost making me return to that other place.

    Like I get it, the rich should all die horrible deaths, you’re socialist, not communist, you do support freedom just not capitalism.

    Aren’t we all deep down inside socialists?

    I mean jesus started it, we’ve been spoon fed it for 2k years. It’s just that We’re all also greedy and egoistic sacks of shit so there are some weaving flaws in that system.

    Great. Can we now get back to real content? Let’s not talk about politics. Let’s talk about world issues, Foss, games, books, movies, news (Libya, morroco) I dunno anything but politics.

    Politics and religion never unite. Fun stuff and real tragedy does.


  • No. There are already plenty examples of this. Thinking this will happen in the near future (100 years) is a fairytale.

    As long as you don’t have vocal cords capable of creating effective speech and you don’t have appendages with which is possible to create and use tools you’re fucked.

    Examples? Plenty, let’s go:

    Pig: As intelligent as a 6 year old. What we do to them makes Auswitz looks like summer camp.

    Dolphins: pushed into a bay and murdered by the hundreds. Thousands (millions?) die each year in the nets of our floating fishing factories. Their intellect is at least that of a 6 year old and most probably way more.

    Whales: hunted to virtual extinction. Way more intelligent then a 6 year old.

    Elephants: show clear sociological traits. Remembers stuff over a long time. Grieve over death. Hunted for their big ass teeth.

    Apes: our close relatives. Hunted for meat. Most species of them easily operate at 10-12 year old level. Can use tools but can not create them. At the current path they’re on in the wild (extinction). They will never reach the stone age.

    We rule. Harshly.
