Ist mir dieses Jahr als Fußgänger auch echt negativ aufgefallen. Wohne im letzten Eck vom Dorf, in einer Straße, die zu 99% zum Parken verwendet wird. Zu keinem Zeitpunkt habe ich Schnee oder Eis auf der Straße gesehen, wohingegen ich mir auf dem Gehweg das Knie blutig gestoßen habe, weil's so spiegelglatt war. Irgendwann weicht man dann auch auf die Straße aus, weil es da sicherer ist, was sich einfach nur falsch anfühlt.

Sorry, I meant a mop. Couldn't think of the word and wanted to express that it should just be damp, not actually wet...

I never understood why we place radiators underneath windows and therefore on outside walls. Is it just a matter of there being space underneath the window sill?

No worries, I did not get you wrong. I commented, because I (rightly) assumed that you care to not sound elitist.

I think, a big part of the problem is that saying one choice is superior kind of implies in itself that people who don't make this same choice are not the smartest.
Obviously, in reality there is a lot of other factors, like inertia (you don't have to be stupid to not want to learn a different system) and well, the system being separate from the ecosystem (all the light/dark mode features won't convince someone to switch who strictly needs an application that won't run on Linux).

But yeah, if people don't pick up on this nuance or don't give you the benefit of the doubt, that just is likely to sound elitist to them... 🫠

This anti-meme brought to you by me pouring from a big bag of freeze-dried strawberry slices into a tiny bowl of cereal this morning, which made me think of this meme template. Then I realized, that's probably exactly what's happening in the template. 🫠

I can recommend wiping the floor regularly with a damp cloth. Removes a lot of the dust from the room, so that it can't get kicked up and land in other places. And it's relatively quick to do, especially since you don't have to reach all the corners for that either.

You may want to add a bit of lemon acid to the water every few months or so, since the water will leave behind limescale when it dries, which will make your floor less shiny.

There's these "ontological arguments", which are basically folks trying to prove the existence of a god by reasoning with pure logic, so without relying on evidence. And they all sound like that. 🫠

One of the classics goes roughly like this:

1. There is good and bad. (Which is one hell of an axiom.)
2. A creature can exist which unifies all good properties. (Yet another hell of an axiom.)
3. Because this creature has all these good properties, it would be even gooder, if it did exist.
4. Since this creature unifies all good properties and its existence is itself a good property, it therefore must exist.

These arguments are also always funny, because the same logic can be used to "prove" all kinds of things. For example, a perfect island can exist, therefore it must exist. 🙃
As far as I can tell, the arguments don't actually get better over time either, but rather just more convoluted, to make it less obvious how silly they are...

Yeah, they actually renamed to "Fugging" in 2020, because it was getting out of hand...

Well, it does just look like more of that reality, you can find outside. It's kind of inherently boring.

Also has to be said that 2D vs. 3D is basically just different genres, because it affects gameplay so much. Someone who only plays 3D games misses out on a whole bunch of variety.

Yeah, I feel like humanity should've figured out sooner that reality does not have great gameplay... 🫠

This sounds extremely elitist, even when I agree with the words that you wrote. 😅

Microsoft just doesn't need to innovate, because they already hold a monopoly. If they do innovate, it's something their investors care about, not their users...
