Yeah, the texture is not the best, but I found that cooking oats in water and adding frozen berries makes it really good taste-wise. And a colleague told me that adding milk to oats cooked in water is almost the same as cooking them in milk.

But man, adding semolina to your oats and cooking them with milk makes suuuuch a good breakfast because the semolina provides a tasty dense medium in which the oats are suspended.

That is a big question which I am sadly not equiped enough to answer adequately, as I have not invested that much time into anarchist works. What I can give is an example from Kropotkin’s book “Mutual Aid”:

He mentions how in village societies every dispute was treated as a comunal affair. If no resolution could be found, the case was brought to a group of people (can’t remember specifically how they were chosen), and they would pass a verdict and resolution. The disputing parties could then either accept the verdict, or they would be excluded from the community. By excluded I mean that they would not enjoy the hospitality and aid of other members, and would thus have to leave the community. So if you are deemed a problematic member and won’t change accordingly, nobody would exert power over you, you would just cease to be a part of the community. Obviously if someone got violent, self-defence would be acceptible.

As for feminism, I know that there is a thing called “anarcha feminism”, but I don’t know any details.

And that’s very unfortunate that that’s the most common perception of anarchism, because all anarchist theory focuses on how cooperation beats competition. The “anarchy” in the name means that nobody has rule over someone else, but rather all members voluntarily help one another because it’s the most efficient and safest way of living.

In what way? I use it from time to time to get movies and series. Is there any downside compared to other methods?

Genuine question, I’m not too familiar with the pirate world beyond pirate bay.

I’ve decided the best and most feasible thing I can do right now is thoroughly decoupling myself from the corporate consumerism world

I honestly think this is a very valid approach. Most people are imagining revolutions and a sudden and violent end to the capitalist class, but I’m more inclined towards the idea where people just change their life habbits so that they don’t depend on massive corporations. Step one stop using crap you don’t need, step two try to get the things you do need locally. If enough people do this, you might start seeing small communities that take care of a lot of stuff by themselves, and the moment you get a big enough community where at least some can live comfortably with little to no dependency from big corporations, things might change…

Swedish melodic black metal has moments like that. The melodies are so nice and lift the spirit, while the lyrics are about hating everything and wating to die

Redguards are from Yokuda, Nords are from Atmora, Imperials come from the Nedes and Bretons are a Nede/Aldmer mix. Each human race has a distinct origin, what’s controversial about that? They’re ‘human’ in the sense that they’re not Mer or Beastfolk.

But Nords have identical buffs/debuffs according to that sheet.

But people like them, no? Just to be clear, how people can enjoy autotuned mumbling about money and hookers is beyond me, but they are. Don’t know about other genres, but in metal you still have a lot of bands that make complex and beautiful music (especially in symphonic metal), but not as many people listen to that, and often not because they don’t know about alternatives. My own brother listens to mumble rap and other rappers that write lyrics that can be rearranged and you wouldn’t notice because the only thing they do is rhyme, without building up to anything, and it’s his choice, he likes listening to the same two songs in 50 variants.

It is very easy to find smaller bands that produce music with actual effort, and you can shove crappy music all you want to someone who doesn’t like it, and it won’t magically make them a fan, so the prevalence of autotuned simulations of strokes are due to people actually liking them, no?

I try not to judge these people too much because I myself often listen to extreme trve kvlt black metal which sounds like a vacuum cleaner to the uninitiated, so I tell myself that it’s something like that. I never convince myself of that, but I try.

I fought him so many times I practically memorized everything he can do and how to spot it. It’s a great fight because he’s essentially all the previous berserkers in one. Tye Valkyrie queen defeated me though. I did everything you can do in the game besides beating her.

But if waves transmit information, and the same information comes at all sides, won’t the signals that bounce off the reflector arrive after the waves with a direct line and thus transmit redundant information?

Eveyone needs it. Aristotle starts out his Nicomachean ethics stating that virtuous acts are first and foremost for the benefit of the virtuous person.

Platonic ethics should also really be taught widely, even more so than Aristotle’s because they’re easier to receive. Even if he has some hard to accept views such as that commiting injustice is worse than suffering it, everyone would benefit if children grew up with the notion that everyone does what they think best, and that those who do “wrong” things do so out of ignorance of what is good, rather than what we currently have where everyone knows what is objectively good, and those who don’t do it are willfully wrongdoers and you just need to punish them enough and they’ll become good.

Although you can have the best educational plans in the galaxy if the educarional system is crap. I don’t know about the rest of the world, but where I’m from all education from primary school to a master’s degree is just a bunch of information being thrown at you with 0 context and reasoning behind it, and when you’re able to reproduce that information on demand (without any context): congratz, you’re educated!

It’s actually what motivated me to start hahaha. I wanted a gift from my corvid friends, but my corvid friends run the hell away if they even catch a glimpse of me in the corner of the room through a window. I guess because it’s a small balcony instead of a large, open and safe space. Even though I gave up on the idea and now feed them for no other reason than to feed them, I wish they would at least be chill with my existence. I’m fairly certain they think nuts grow out of flower pots.

But damn they look cool.

Very relatable. I started leaving food for some local magpies about a year ago, and now they wake me up every morning at 6.

I once had a problem when suddenly some tits arrived and started stealing all the food. A huge magpie would take like one hazelnut and be on its way, while these small fuckers would eat like pigs, and then hide what was left. They’d take the nuts and shove them somewhere between the flowers on my balcony. Tough the magpies too have often burried nuts in the soil below the flowers, only to dig them out again.

And it was so cool to watch some sparrow coming and going a dozen times to pull out some weeds that have been growing (I left the pots with the flowers outside over winter, the flowers died and weeds started to grow), and then carry them to a hole in a wall where a brick is missing which presumably is the nest.

But it was so so cool when I got woken up a few days in succession to a silhouette of a majestic crow standing on my balcony (my bed looks directly through the balcony window facing north-east). Crows are so cool, and magpies are really beatutiful, though extremely skittish.

English is barely gendered. In Slavic languages, as someone said, verbs are conjugated differently based on gender. In Serbian for instance, to say “I saw him”, you would say “Video sam ga” if you were a man, and “Videla sam ga” if you were a woman. In Arabic I think even more things vary based on gender, like “to you” has different forms based on whether “you” are a man or a woman. It might not be specifically that, but I distinctly recall Arabic using gender-based forms for something that Slavic languages don’t.

Why put effort into anything when in 100/1000/10000 years everything I love and care about will be dead, gone, and forgotten?

I had a slightly different question: what’s the point of doing anything if it’ll end? In other words: anything achievable is not worth doing.

I haven’t really found an answer to this, it just stopped bothering me, though one potential answer was: happiness and wisdom. Wisdom is unachievable because there’s always more to understand, and happiness is not a stable state since we’re hardwired not to be perpetually happy because we wouldn’t do anything if we were. Thus those two things can be chased always, they don’t end, and then you die. After that you have no more problems.

What’s wrong with Jerboa? Genuinely asking, I’ve been using it since I discovered Lemmy 1.5 months ago, and only had a problem once when the instances were down due to a critical vulnerability bug or something that happened last month, when I had to manually log out and log back in to fix it.

You can find the answer in the second book of Virgil’s Aeneid. But tldr:

The Trojans thought that the greeks have left, they went to their camps and found a huge wooden horse. Some wanted to bring the horse into the city, others wanted to burn it, others still wanted to open the stomach and see what was inside, since they thought that it was a trap. A man called Lacoön rushed and yelled at them that the greeks would never gift them anything (that’s where the famous saying “Beware of Greeks bearing gifts” comes from), and he threw a spear at the horse, and they heard that something was inside.

But then, some Trojans brought forth a Greek captive named Sinon. He told them that the Greeks wanted to leave for ages, but the winds wouldn’t let them. To appease the gods for good winds, they have chosen to sacrifice him, but he somehow got away. The horse was built to atone for the sins commited by Diomedes and Odysseus (they stole a statue of Athena), and it was built higher than the Trojan walls to prevent the Trojans from bringing the horse into the city, for if they bring it in, Troy will conquer Greece.

Then two giant snakes appeared, killed Lacoön and his kids, and then they slithered away to hide behind a statue of Athena. The Trojans understood this as a punishment for Lacoön since he threw a spear at the horse, and that they needed to bring the horse back to the temple of Athena. They then demolished parts of their gate to make room for the horse, heard metal ringing from the inside as they were pulling it, but didn’t think much of it. They celebrated the end of the war, went to sleep at nightfall and the rest is history mythology.

Refrain, or course, from masturbation and excessive handling of the sex organs. A two shake limit during urination is in effect.

I have a very very hard time believing that this is serious, but sadly I’m not fully convinced that it is not
