Okay, I won't say this is always true, but it almost always is in my experience.

@RickiTarr Poor people simply have more positive experiences with sharing. They are more likely to have experienced the thankfulness on the receiving end and therefore try to replicate and "repay" with their small means.

What kind of place do you prefer to live in?

coffeepine,
@coffeepine@beige.party avatar

@RickiTarr I am currently thinking about this a lot because I am job hunting and have declared all of Germany 'fair game' (apart from Bavaria...I think). A part of me still feels young and wants all the attractions a big city holds. Another part of me has calmed down a lot and just doesn't need all that loudness and fast paced stuff. But when I go somewhere rural, I can stomach it for three or four days before I get antsy.

I don't know what's perfect for me.

Can't wait to one day tell my grandkids how I was on Mastodon in November of '22. They'll probably get sick of me talking about it.

Would you rather be alone in a Space Ship with Darth Vader or the Queen Alien from Alien?

Please support the your answer if you feel like it.

@RickiTarr Darth Vader. The Xenomorph still gives me the creeps after all those years.

By the way, two main reasons I am against quote posting on here:

  1. Well, dunking and piling on

  2. "Takei-ing" where a celebrity or their social media team quotes some actual good content, only adds "This!" or a catch phrase ("Oh my!") to the post and then reaps likes and boosts the original creator deserves.

coffeepine,
@coffeepine@beige.party avatar

@Alice I get that but for me the cons outweigh the pros.

If it is introduced and I can opt out, I wouldn't mind.

This was a fun one, so let's do it again. What is something you've learned that seems unlikely, even though you know it's true? Here's one I think about a lot:

Sight, while being something something many people are born with, is not an innate ability, but something we learn to do. People who were born blind or were blind for a long time, who get sight, have to learn to see.

@RickiTarr It is possible that the oldest university dealing with the English language and culture as subject was started at a Swedish university that is now German.

In basketball an "energy player" is typically a guy who comes off the bench and is not as skilled or as innately talented as the star players but has a real zeal for the game and I'm kind of like that but without the energy.

When in doubt....Joy Division.

It is fascinating to me how they made two records that are essentially ethereal and timeless but live they could not shed the punk band they were at heart.

This is so bloody fucking raw.

I'm curious, with respect to adult children who live within a reasonable drive of their parents, approximately how frequent visits are.

Please feel free to comment about cultural considerations, boundaries, etc.

coffeepine,
@coffeepine@beige.party avatar

@Cassandra I meet my mother twice a month as she works in the city I live in.

But visiting home? No more than twice a year even though I live only an hour away and can essentially go there for free.

coffeepine,
@coffeepine@beige.party avatar

@Cassandra It's easier on two levels:

  1. Logistically. Meeting mom when she is in town anyway is a 15 minutes subway ride as opposed to taking the train. (door to door 1,5h)

  2. Mentally. I have a complicated opinion about the place I grew up in (semi-rural backwater), but most importantly: My mother is the only family I still care about. The rest are close-minded, fascist racist yockels who are afraid of the modern world. Being "home" is absolutely stressful to me because it is always expected of me to keep my mouth shut and keep the 'family peace' while them attacking my values is "opinions".

Hab vorhin ein paar Leute vom Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht gesehen, und nochmal deren Programm angeguckt.

Was zum Teufel ist eigentlich eine linksnationalistische Partei? Haben die nicht verstanden, daß Klassenkampf Grenzen überschreitet? Oder sind das einfach Tankies?

Everything around us just seems to disintegrate. And people often come at me with "But capitalism cannot be responsible for every shitty thing in your life!"

Except...it is. You can literally look at anything broken in your surroundings and there is a 95% chance that if you follow the chain of causality, you end up looking at the economic system.

It's broken, it is so fundamentally fucked. Once you see and understand the pattern, it is IMPOSSIBLE to ignore.

Why do we cling to this?

The most important resource each and every one of us values the most anyway is available to us 24/7 in abundance. It's a freak of nature because if you give out said resource, you'll get it in return. It is even scientifically proven that this is not some romantic notion of mine.

The one thing that makes ALL OF US rich is connection to each other. That's it. That's what all the bullshit we are told to achieve boils down to.

All we have to do is create communities and systems that maintain each other.

Once you see this, you realise it everywhere, and it breaks my heart that - even though we are many - we are so thoroughly under the thumb of a few sociopaths who cannot feel this.

Be radical in whatever way you see fit. Especially, be radical in approaching your fellow humans again and again. Reach out, and be reached out to. It will make you happier.

Except Nazis. You punch Nazis.

At least my neighbours have started an absolutely batshit crazy flame war via passive aggressive notes in the main hallway of the building.

It started with a spilled cherry pie. We are however way past that. Now it's accusations of drug use and adultery.

Just saw a post urging Americans to "Vote Blue" if they don't want violence at their protest camps.

double-checks party affiliation of current US president who is in charge of violence in protest camps

blinks slowly

Uhmmm....

coffeepine,
@coffeepine@beige.party avatar

@Alice I know that, but the Pro-Biden camp (esp. on here) is atrocious and has the weirdest tone trying to drum up interest in the man.

Also, I am pretty sure that even a lot of the critics will vote Biden anyway because they are not stupid.

But I said it before, y'all should be so angry that the system only gives you these choices.

coffeepine,
@coffeepine@beige.party avatar

@timswan See, my dude, it is EXACTLY this tone that alienates.

a) Point me to the where in my post I called them 'the same', please.

b) The president is the constitutional organ in the US with the most amount of power but you are telling me he cannot stop violent assault on peaceful protest? Weak Joe. Can he not stop it or does he not want to?

c) Him and his government still fund genocide. Can he not stop it or does he not want to?

Look, fascism light is still fascism. And for all it's worth, vote blue. But please stop pretending he is a good president.
