Been there. I feel that stating your needs is often enough. Instead of explaining complicated and intimate thoughts/emotions tell the other person “I need some time for myself” or “I don’t want to speak about this topic” etc. … It strikes the balance between not making yourself vulnerable and setting boundaries.

Self check: maybe I feel this way because I became more happy with myself lately. Therefore: if it doesn’t work for you, that’s okay.

I just read lately that younger generations in germany drink less alcohol. I am not sure what the common reasons are, but I think the weed legalization made questioning the effects of alcohol more mainstream.

I feel like I am missing some context here

In Germany we have…

Markus Söder, who changes his opinion faster than the wind turns and likes to put his face on anything; Shirts, cups, giant chocolate eggs, you name it. He also was very big on making Bavaria a german Cape Canaveral. No Idea what happened to that. But he is a huge populist, so probably nothing.

Then there is Friedrich Merz, our soon to be chancellor. He comes off as cold, mysogynist and increadibly out of touch. Under his leadership his party (CDU) has slowly veered to the far right, integrating nazi viewpoints into their programm.

These two on their own are just right asshats, who can’t compare to Trump’s bullshit (yet), but if you would fuse them together… maybe?

King Arthur will come with his coconut playing entourage and claim my mortal soul. I should get a white rabbit. or maybe I should avoid it? Who can tell

Not that many, bacause I don’t have a lot of space. I borrow from the library occasionally, which is brilliant, because it’s cheap and doesn’t take up space.

And yes, I weed my collection and keep only books that I really enjoyed or know that I’ll reread. Sometimes I try to sell them 2nd hand, others that are lesser value I leave at these public book cabinets.

I hardly ever give away educational books though. I feel like I could come back at them anytime and they’ll still provide information and usefullness.

For me personally? I have been steadily changing the way I source media over the past 2-3 years. Also I lately read more of other ppl going back to physical media for the same-ish reasons.

CDs/DVDs/BluRays

I don’t want to support Spotify, which is owned by tencent. I don’t want to spend a fortune on streaming services. I don’t want to sell my data to google by using YouTube, and I want to be able to listen to music/ watch movies when offline.

I think meditation has scientifically proven effects. One thing I keep hearing is that the slow concious breaths you take whilst meditating are signaling your nervous system that you are safe and can calm down.

Doughnuts. I made doughnuts by hand recently, and kneading the dough. For. 30. Minutes. By. Hand. Fuck, never again. I usually don’t mind kneading dough by hand, but this was the first time I wish I had a mashine for it

oh lol xDShould I change it back? :>

That’s because I haven’t thought of something yet.

How did you support essential workers during the pandemic?

Selma was the most fun to draw and it shows, everybody else looks kinda unhinged xD

“The chosen one” as in the hero who faces dangers without worrying about their own safety and health? Fuck no.

I do it to feel good about myself. Sometimes I fail or miss the mark, which is okay. At the end of the day I want to be able to be okay with my deeds.

Since it’s the GPU fans only, I don’t think I have the skills to fix it. I’ll send it back. Thanks for your input :)

It’s the game development on a budget PC xD

Needs no bling but to get stuff done.

Do you have a recommendation where to look for fan drivers? In the package manager/ apt or do I have to hope the GPU manufacturer offers them?

Yeah, set the fans to 50/75/100 and they still had 0rpm. Did not expect that to happen at 100% tbh. I’ll try it again with other software, but I guess I’ll RMA.
