Dyskolos

Exactly. The important people know how to reach me, all others simply aren’t.

Should’ve named it Y or Z. You know, like +1…

Absolutely this. Not many people understand this, especially not my gen (x) or older. Here they’re all pavlov’ed to open the door when it rings or answer the phone. I never do that.

Fair point…

And this is relevant (or mildly interesting) to whom exactly?

A shitty cancer-platform introduced a shitty useless feature for those with even less an own opinion than the others there.

Some kiddie-lovin (hardcore) Nazi didn’t like your comment 😁

…until we’d re-emerge 🤷‍♂️

Too damn many to just pick one single thing. So I’d go safe and erase our beginning itself. That should do it.

It’s two people paying for premium at X. What do you expect 😐

Bei den vernunftbasierten Einkäufern statt den Herdentieren ohne eigene Meinung?

OK that’s a lot cheaper. Admittedly I took 1st class though (as I wouldn’t go 2nd), but 2nd class would be roughly half of it. Which is still around 350. And even if I’d go alone, by car would be half as costly. Not factoring in cost of ownership of course. Which is immense here too.

Yes German trains suck hard, but even if they had Japanese precision and would just cost 1 buck from wherever to wherever else, I would prefer the car:

I can get precisely from a to b. While a train gets me from major city station to another major city station, if lucky without changing trains in between. Then I’d need to go find a bus station or tram somewhere near there and go stand in an overcrowded horribly stinky bus/tram full of people. Or take a taxi and pay ultra premium to have to endure a chatty driver. I’m not a people-person 😁

Also, if you’d go Amsterdam Vienna for 115, that’d still he 230 for two people and 460 if you wanna go back home some day. And then you have to pay for local transit too. A car would have neglectable additional costs for added passengers and local transit.

As I love driving, I didn’t include the car cost. It’s a hobby.

Just checked, one way trip from my city to a another city 300km afar: €180,-, so 360,- if wifey is coming with. And 720 if we want to go back home again. Doesn’t include getting to and from the station and also not getting around at the destination. Plus having to change trains somewhere along the track. So it’s neither relaxing nor will it be on time.

While with a car, we just drive there, listen to music, are comfortable in the temperature WE choose, don’t have people around us. And if we see something cool along the way, we stop.

So, where is an advantage of using trains? I fail to see it.

How glad we didn’t have that conversation. Have a great supressed life!

I’m neither the one nor the other.

And the last time I used the aforementioned here it was a horrible nightmare of never being on schedule and costing a lot more than just driving myself. Even if I would take the “fun” car.

Meh. I hate trains, busses and trams. Always full of people… I would not give up a car for that, and I only drive like 3000km a year split over two cars.

My Argument is already there and you chose to ignore it, so…yeah whatever. Capitalism Bad.

And which country does not have people who try to not be cancerous and yet are still been given cancer by those in power,? What exactly does that have to do with the USA (not “America”)? Not that I’m a fan of this joke of a country, sure am not.

Now that is one smart argument. I’m baffled by your wisdom.

It’s not the country per se. It’s not even capitalism per se.

It’s people. And especially that all systems reward, nay love, the dark triad of psychological disorders. The rich elite, that plays with people and countries, is a living proof of that.

But, the USA is the prime example of how the endgame of human cancer will be like. And its chefclown is the prime example for said triad.

Instead of bashing AI, I’d be pissed at another device uploading my everything into some cloud of some us-based company. Who wants that? At least make it with Local AI. Oh right, that won’t do for the next 15yrs because of the gargantuan resources needed.

But…people use x, WhatsApp, Facebook and google and Apple phones… So why not another privacy-destroyer with the added benefit of…I don’t know. Tell me what I’m looking at?
