To the people who dont feel better after excercise, maybe you just haven’t found a sport or excercise that you like?

For me it is biking but yours could be different.

I think it is because the exhaust is much cleaner than with diesel or gasoline.

Whenever I see stuff like this, all I can think about is how nice it must be to have to deeply inhale those fumes when trying to give all you have got.

I also dont get why they still have ICE vehicles at the tour de france for the same reason.

Here in Germany studded tires are outlawed almost everywhere and its a good thing.

Where I live we usually only have one or two weeks each year where we have any snow or ice on the road and it usually gets cleared very quickly.

The amount of noise and road damage created by studded tires would far outweigh their usefulness for those 1 or 2 days where the snow hasnt been cleared everywhere yet.

I might get some studded bike tires this winter (those are legal) as roads are sadly cleared much quicker than the sidewalks and sliding a little bit with a car is not as bad as falling over on a bike.

It also isnt as loud as studded car tires and doesnt damage the road as much as studded car tires.

Why not? It might not need to actually hit anyone, just the chance of being hit is probably enough to scare anyone away.

I wouldnt wanna be in a trench or field and suddenly hear gunshots coming from above.

I have not seen one gas station in Germany and surroundings that didnt have it. I have seen truck gas stations that only have diesel though.

We do have some gas stations that just have diesel on a few pumps.

I do know how to read an analog clock, but I dont read it subconciously, because my brain works on digital time, so I will have to look at it and then figure out what that time is if it were on a digital clock.

So if I see an analog clock I would rather look at my phone because that is just quicker than doing the conversion.

If you want to know more, look at the video Technology Connections (2?) did about it.

I mean, Ukraine did get a lot of NATO strategy training and the Ukranian military leaders probably also get some access to US spy satelite photos.

But the idea to invade russia and how to execute it was probably still done by Ukranians in Ukraine.

As a European its just insane how wide these streets are.

Did they want to build a highway or a neigborhood street?

US street designers and their bosses seriously need to get this “wider=better” mentality out of their head. Its no wonder people are driving this fast when the streets are this wide, its because it feels slow.

Its also bad in other ways: wasted money, needlessly destroyed nature, increased urban heat island effect and increased flooding risk because its sealed.

Nice music

We will never live in an ideal world, we can only approach it.

So, yeah, I wasnt referring to reality.

Change it out for a lack of positive perspective for the future and you might even be right.

Thats maybe why the empty promises work to begin with.

This kind of right wing populism has sadly arrived here in Europe as well. Here in Germany we have the AFD which basically does the same thing.

My mother, her boyfriend and my brother have sadly also fallen into the right wing disinformation trap, it really sucks, its like a thought virus.

At least I still have my other half of the family whith which I can still have some political discussions where everyone enjoys doing it and its more about smaller details and how to turn the theory into practice.

I think it is because having sex is such an inimate thing and as a sex worker you have to do it even with people you are not intimate with and at times when you dont want to be intimate. The sheer number of sex partners probably also doesnt help.

And then there are the assholes who will straight up step over boundaries and directly create trauma.

I live in Germany where sex work legal btw (and I think it should be kept that way).

Comparing the risks to other work is hard, as the risks vary from person to person and from workplace to workplace in each job.

But I would consider doing sex work if I would have to work in a callcenter otherwise lol

In an ideal world people who just want casual sex would find each other. And people who want love as well. In an ideal world everyone would also have someone they are an ideal match to.

The only way I see people getting paid to have sex in an ideal world is if they get paid because their sex is so good, like top athletes.

If you have a (preferably NVIDIA) GPU, you could run one of the many applications that use Stable Diffusion on your PC. I have only used these before:

Fooocus: Really easy to set up, but not really meant to be used with other custom models, has lots of artstyles to choose from.

Automatic1111: Also pretty easy to set up, maybe a little bit harder. You have to download the models from somewhere else, but its much easier to import them and it has lots of options.

Fooocus will probably suffice, just select a fitting art style to get a good look.

RIP sunscreen manufacturers lol

Sex work wouldnt exist in an ideal world, as its usually not mentally healthy for the sex worker in the long term.

But since we dont live in an ideal world I would rather legalise it and create laws that protect sex workers instead of criminalising them.

Its the same with all drugs (including cigarettes and alcohol).

Yeah, most of the people in Russia that wanted to go to war or were indifferent to it are already dead or still on the frontline, so a lot of the newest conscripts are people who didnt wanna fight, but were forced to do so anyway.

I would imagine that the vehicle hit a mine.
