But I can buy anything with fiat curency and with bitcoin I can basically buy nothing. And I never will be able probably, bitcoin is too slow to be used as an actual curency to buy common things like groceries

The opposite, I always sleep with blanket on even if I don’t want to. In summer I fall asleep with blanket on my side and wake up fully covered in blanket. And sweating like a pig

This is fake, no one can code like that

Hey! I’m not balls!

What? I-I don’t understand what … what does … miss, can you open the door please?

Maybe it helps that Germans have a more relaxed relationship with nudity.

Yeah I guess that helps :) I’m pretty shy, I don’t want anyone besides my wife to see my ding-a-ling

No, I’m from Slovakia.

I don’t know, it just feels weird that everytime I want to leave the room I need to first put on clothes. Like going for bathroom or have a glass of water (providing I live in an appartment with other people). Or even in the morning it feels weird, I sleep in my pyjamas so I usually wake up, have a breakfast, a cofee and only then I dress up for work. But I’m not saying which way is better, it’s just weird to me.

And kids are a completely separate category where they can wake you up at any moment or you need to jump out of the bed to solve an emergency

People who say 20, I’m not judging you but I just can’t imagine that

• I grew up in small (tiny) appartment with my parrents and sharing room with my siblings
• Then on college living in a room with 2 other people
• Then renting an appartment with other people
• Then owning an appartment with my gf
• Then having kids

Besides that small window of having an appartment just for me and my gf, I just can’t imagine sleeping naked

for as long as I can remember

Wow, even when you were kid? Or teenager? I grew up in small appartment so I can’t imagine that.

And afterwards were you always living alone?

Fyi that’s Jamestown on the island of Saint Helena

Also if your wife enjoys being fucked, she might be a spiritual gay man. And do you know how we call people who fuck gay men?

I’m jumping into downvote pool but yolo - I kind of like Bill Maher. I don’t agree with him on everything, let’s say I disagree with like 30% of his points. But rest of it is kind of on point? And that’s fine, I don’t have to agree with people on everything. Actually that’s one of the points I liked from him - to learn to disagree. In today’s polarized world that’s a surprisingly refreshing idea. On the other hand I fundamentally disagree with him on Covid-19. So yeah. Also I find myself laughing at his jokes quite a lot, he has good writers imo

How can I contribute? Just making a pull request?

to perpetuate backwards gender roles

I never even suggested that. Where did you get that from? All I’m saying is, people in power aren’t your friends.

Although is it a good thing that me and my wife work like crazy to keep our family going? Is this really what life is about? I’d love to be stay at home dad, yet I can’t

I literally said it’s a positive thing, just that motivation of people in power is cynical. Also I didn’t mention communism, I meant it in general regardless of regime

Maybe a bad choice of words on my part, maybe I should write “not because it’s right, but because it doubles the workforce”

Although whether “double the workforce” is good or bad, I’d keep that for a discussion, see my other comment for more info: https://lemmy.world/comment/16185467

Sorry for late response and I see the comment is now deleted by a mod but whatever (well we’re on .ml after all).

What I was trying to point out, was the “cynical” part of it. That people in power often don’t do it because they want to empower women or help people, more often than not it’s just that it brings more people into their “meat grinder” - regardless of the regime. In case of capitalism it’s obvious but it doesn’t need to be money necessarily; in the case of Stalin - pardon me if I don’t believe that he did it for “supporting women rights and making the world a better place ✌️”, he did it for the raw economic power to compete with US during cold war and so his own country wouldn’t collapse because of his stupid actions.

Whether doubling the workforce is a good thing - that I’d keep up for a debate. I deliberately didn’t want to say anything in that area, I’m just saying that the motivation of people in power is cynical, not saying if result is good or bad.

But if you’d want my personal stance - I do believe that in order to achieve welfare/prosperity, not all the people have to work. And I do believe that there are more important things in life than working. I’d love to be a stay at home dad, but I can’t. Even though my country sort of supports it, my pay would cut dramatically and we as a family wouldn’t be able to survive.

But honestly thank you for asking. It’s very refreshing to meet a person who asks and tries to understand the motivation of the commenter rather than jumping right to the conclusion (as almost every other response here)

Autumn, I realized all the good things are in autumn - my birthday, september fairs, things calm down after crazy summer, halloween, and providing autumn ends officially at 22nd december - waiting for christmas, the atmosphere, christmas parties in december
