I wonder: Is there any person at all, actually using the #Metaverse?

Tonight, I had a strange dream:

It started very good: I was on our flat's balcony and my partner came out for a moment to look for something she had left on the table, completely naked, which turned me on so much that I followed her, took her into my arms and started to kiss her.

As we were about to make a step towards the sofa, we suddenly got irritated by voices, which seemed to come from inside the flat.

We separated and shouted "Is there somebody in here?" but the voices just

Aren't long gloves the best and most elegant #fashion accessory ever invented?

Do you have a pair or two?

So you wear them sometimes?

Ich brauche mal wieder Schminke, Shampoo und dergleichen, aber:

Warum gibt es eigentlich kaum Drogeriemärkte in der #Schweiz?

Außer Müller kenne ich gar keinen und es gibt nicht einen einzigen in der Stadt #Zürich. Der nächste ist in D̶ü̶b̶i̶ Wallisellen (⬅️ Edit).

Hat jemand einen Tipp?

Das #ÖBB #Nachtzug-Angebot wäre ja schon ganz gut, wenn man es denn buchen könnte.

Seit über einer Woche gibt es dieses prima Liegewagenangebot (ZRH-BER) für 70 €, aber ach: Jedes Mal¹, wenn ich bezahlen will, heißt es, das Angebot sei nicht mehr gültig.

Natürlich bleiben auch alle Anfragen an den Kundendienst unbeantwortet.

¹völlig egal ob Nightjet-Seite, ÖBB-Seite oder ÖBB-App.

Mal was Gutes zu #Berlin:

Meine beantragten Briefwahlunterlagen sind tatsächlich postwendend angekommen.

Jetzt Stimme für #Europa abgeschickt!

Und das Beste: Das Verfahren ist so mega-simpel. Ganz ohne eine App installieren zu müssen.

🖼️ The Valkyrie's Vigil by Edward Robert Hughes

The painting seems to be inspired by Richard Wagner's opera cycle "The Ring of the Nibelung".

In its last part "The Twilight of the Gods", the hero Siegfried frees Brünhilde, the Valkyrie, from the ring of fire where, Wotan, the Gods' boss, had confined her, his favourite daughter for disobeying

We should talk more about owner #liability

If you own part of a corporation, say through stocks and shares, CEOs and board act on your behalf and commit crimes (e.g. corruption, tax fraud, environmental damages etc.) you should be liable for those, at least until the sum of the worth of your shares, past paid dividends and profits by share price increases.

If you feel, you have been lied by the board and are innocent, you have the right to sue them for compensation.

Hat irgendjemand eine Idee, wo man am besten nach diesem alten #Kinderbuch suchen könnte (auch gerne offline in Berlin).

I wonder why the Mastodon web interface only displays the first frame of webp animations.

Is this a general #Fediverse thing or just one more of the arbitrary #Mastodon limitations?

So.

75 Jahre Grundgesetz. Es ist schon eine ziemlich gute Verfassung, keine Frage.

Nur schlimm, dass es erst 12 Jahre faschistischer Diktatur und tatkräftige Unterstützung durch die Alliierten gebraucht hat, um unserem Land diese Verfassung zu geben.

Noch schlimmer, dass eben dieser Faschismus aktuell wieder sein hässliches Haupt erhebt und die politische Debatte bis weit in die "demokratische Mitte hinein" vergiftet.

Wir sind alle aufgerufen, uns klar dagegenzustellen, wann immer

#Switzerland is hard to beat in terms of spectacular landscapes, but a walk through #Berlin's outskirts is not too bad, either.

Did you ever have the nightmare of not getting dressed/lost your clothes before going to #school or #work and having to go #naked?

My partner has never, and I find that strange.

Best stories get a boost.

Do you know Stanislaw Lem, the fabulous Polish #SciFi author?

He wrote several stories about #robots and artificial intelligence (real one, not #ai).

Among many others, I love the hilarious "The Washing Machine Tragedy", as it highlights the relationship between #technology, #capitalism and #law.

Written in 1963, it foreshadows prophetically many of current developments.

In the story, two corporations begin to "enhance" their washing machines with all kind of "smart" tech to the point,

*** Don't you dare! ***

I love her intense look.

On a side note: I get it that film makers and photographers are in love with two-handed and bastard swords: They are long and look impressive, but not necessarily the best choice for real fights, unless you're a very large and strong person (Think of GoT's Brienne of Tarth or The Mountain).

Better use a spear or a shorter sword and a shield!
