Bollocks. 99% of gamblers stop before they win big. Maximum bet every time. Go big or go home. Just need to secure that one win, then all of the sunken costs will have made sense!

Seriously though, I once bought 20 quid worth of Overwatch loot boxes during playing I felt exactly the same way playing a slot machine. I have been once in my life to a casino because a friend wanted to go. I played the slot machine for 30 quid in total. Both after the Overwatch loot boxes and the slot machine I felt exactly this same mix of anger and shame. But during it was the exact same mentality of, hey, if I just continue, I can win something I want. The realisation came after. And so, by thinking about this experience, I essentially stayed away from gambling for good. Gambling, be it loot boxes, slot machines, casinos or anything else are a cancer upon society, keeping people poor and preying off the hopes and dreams of people with problems.

That’s an interesting confirmation that everyone on the ISS has no trousers on at all times.

Every time Trump makes a tweet, I cannot gauge whether it’s fake or real. How can a nation elect something like that?

How is 1€/L expensive?

Why does she need a boyfriend if she has so much pleasure listening to the sound of her own voice?

Dick pics are cringe tho.

You are not missing out. There are a lot of lunatics in this world, and IMO, it is better to have nothing than be with them. I was in it for the long term and because I wanted a serious relationship, with a person that is equal to me, not above or below me, and with mutual support for each other. Turns out most guys below 30 are turned off by that. And so basically I stayed boyfriendless for a long time. But the first “real” boyfriend I got, I kept, and he kept me, because we both had an agreement when it came to what we wanted out of the relationship. While I definitely know the pain, the genuine pain especially when you’re lying in bed, you know the one, right? This is still better than to have a destructive lunatic who will tear down everything happy about your life. With a person like that, you’ll wish the pain back because now it felt pleasant when compared to this. So please, do not despair. Carry on. Do things that you enjoy, or things where you can meet other young people. Then, forget about the dating advice. Treat even romantic interests as friends at first, and see what develops. Because IMO, no serious relationship was ever born out of some red pill YouTube trash.

This is just my opinion on this and I’m sure other people here have given good advice.

Age of an appliance is not an indicator of its quality. Quality is an indicator of quality, back then, there was as mush trash quality products as today, only difference is, they did not live long enough to be remembered.

Also, electrical appliances were way, WAY more expensive than today.

It’s not an anti journalism take. Journalism is valuable. I mean the american media landscape and the control mega corporations have over almost all of their popular media. Disney, WB and Netflix come to mind.

There absolutely are real conspiracies, USA mass surveillance, corporate control over media and censorship, social media amplifying autocratic propaganda while shadowbanning democratic content, big tech making propaganda easily accessible though text, image and video generation, fossil fuel oligarchs lobbying against change for the better, anything Epstein was doing, etc.

No need to invent stuff.

Shhh, nobody tell him that Jesus, the historical person, wasn’t white and didn’t speak American English.

Whats on the other side of the disk? 🤔

As context, these buildings have sizeable parks in between them. They also house different gyms, saunas, swimming pools and multi-storey apartments rented from the city of Vienna. “Wohnpark Alterlaa”

Tldr: GrapheneOS for Normie apps, Jolla for FOSS exclusive phone.

IMO take GrapheneOS, because when it comes to security, there is basically no competition. You need the security if you want to use normie proprietary apps. There is just so much cancer in that ecosystem, it is unbelievable, furthermore, you’re handing the malware an unbelievably capable sensor platform with centimetre accurate positioning systems, motion sensors which can gauge your weight, age and gender, microphones and cameras. You NEED the protection that GrapheneOS gives you.

On the other hand, if you only want to use FOSS on your phone, then SailfishOS is also a good choice. But due to security, it is highly recommended that you stay away from normie apps.
