Yes. As was nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Eradicating fascism is a noble goal, but it’s still valid to criticise individual atrocities that people perpetrated to reach that goal.

That is the German name for flea markets. It’s when people sell old stuff they don’t want or need anymore in their garden/some square/the street.

Guess the creators are Germans…

This joke has gotten pretty old by now and only helps downplay the seriousness of their dangerous ideas.

Kann sich Ashton Kutcher mal ganz hart selber ficken bitte? Hält zu seinem verurteilten Vergewaltiger-Kumpel aber macht hier in der EU, wo der Clown nicht mal selber wohnt, Lobby für sein schwachsinniges Prestigeprojekt.

Edit: Grad gelesen dass er dann wohl doch aus Thorn ausgetreten ist nachdem er sich nicht von seinem Vergewaltiger-Kumpel lossagen wollte. Macht die Organisation und Kutcher beide kein Stückchen weniger beschissen.

Fair enough, I haven’t seen it yet. Also didn’t really notice how Decaprio heavy the list was until your comment.

No particular order. Also, it’s movies that I watched, can’t speak on essentials that I might be missing.

It’s kinda hard to make a list on essentials tho. Because your personal taste obviously plays a big role. I can’t see my girlfriend liking more than 10 percent of those…

Schindlers List

Gladiator

No country for old men

The grand Budapest hotel

The big Lebowski

The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers

Star Wars (the original one)

Requiem for a dream

Pulp fiction

The good, the bad, the ugly

The lives of others

La vita é Bella

All quiet on the western front (1930 version)

The dark knight

The Truman Show

2001: Space odyssey

Alien

7 Samurai

Princess Mononoke

Trainspotting

Boyz N the Hood

Scarface

The Godfather 1, 2

The Matrix

Clockwork Orange

Shutter Island

Kingdom of Heaven

Wolf of Wall Street

Honorable mentions because they are popular and everybody always talks about them (I like a lot of them, too. Don’t consider them essentials tho):

Inception

Interstellar

Fight Club

Harry Potter

Return of the King

Rest of Star Wars (whatever people consider the good ones at last)

Saving Private Ryan

Django Unchained

Toy Story

The Lion King

How about chess? I know you said you are not really looking for video games, but chess to me is a bit different to video games.

I had a similar problem to you a few years ago during Covid. I was very stressed and lonely and didn’t know what to do with myself. I am completely addicted to chess now. To the point that I play for like 4-8h a night sometimes. Time passes fast, especially in the shorter time modes. And if you are looking for a more low stakes, slow paced distraction you can play correspondents chess and think about your next move for 1.5 hours.

Bonus: if i tell people that i play chess for over an hour every day, they often assume i am a genius, even tho I’m just a 800 elo idiot like most people

Not sure we can sustain any mega corps if I’m honest… but I get your point

[–] [email protected] 71 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Don’t get me wrong, fuck Jeff Bezos’ pampered ass. But growing a giant dystopian mega corp out of 250k is kind of impressive.

I know quite a few privileged people with more money than that and every chance in life one could hope for. None of them would be able to achieve anything close to what he did. They simply aren’t ruthless and megalomaniacal enough.

Also zumindest anekdotisch ist meine Erfahrung anders. Kenne genug junge Leute die als Teenager bereits über Sport und Titten geködert wurden und mittlerweile Bild als einzige “Zeitung” lesen. Das macht Bild ja leider so erfolgreich. Die haben egal ob du auf Sport, Computer, Horoskope oder Klatsch stehst für alle was dabei.

Abgerufen wird’s dann meistens über die App, oder, wie von dir schon genannt, Social Media.

Jetzt wo du’s sagst, das wird interessant. Wenn die eh schon zu besoffenen Leute auch noch nach dem Zelt einen rauchen wird es auf der Kotzwiese sicher nochmal voller als es eh schon ist… aber vielleicht hilft es bisschen gegen die Schlägereien wenn die Leute entspannter sind.

Ich persönlich fände es sehr attraktiv abends im Riesenrad einen zu heizen und mir die Lichter anzuschauen.

Wow, thanks for the in depth reply! Probably will do as you suggested and just buy the most expensive one I can afford.

The reason I was a little scared of temperature issues is that my MacBook right now turns into a room heater as soon as I do something more complicated than using notes. To the point where it damaged the screen when I worked on an external display with the internal display closed. I’m very glad to hear that that doesn’t seem to be an issue anymore with apple silicone. It’ll be so nice to be able to use my laptop on my lap again!

M3 MacBook Advice (lemmy.world)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

My old and trusty MacBook is slowly giving up and I’m trying to replace it. I’ve been looking at the m3 pro line for a replacement.

Currently I’m debating wether a 14-Inch 12 core CPU, 18 core GPU, 1 TB SSD, or the 16-Inch 12 core CPU, 18 core GPU, 500 GB SSD makes more sense.

I like the small size and larger SSD of the 14 Inch version, but I’m kinda scared that it’ll get hot faster than the bigger version or have less power somehow.

My tasks include handling documents, editing large photos and videos and very rarely some 3D stuff in blender. I also wanna play some BG3 from time to time.

What would you choose? Are those good choices for the jobs I want it to do? Is my fear of the small one being a little too powerful for its size justified? Or do you say get something else entirely?

Thanks for your help in advance!
