Yeah, nothing back there except tons of highly radioactive waste that nobody knows what to do with for the next million years, nothing back there but the risk of contaminating a whole region with radioactive shit like it happened in Chernobyl and Fukushima, nothing back there except for overly expensive energy that’s only cheap because governments subsidized the shit out of it because they thought it was the new big thing you need to have, and now they still do just because. Don’t get me worng, it’s probably still a tiny bit better than burning fossils. But it’s still bullshit.

Is this a joke?

Rock stars, groupies, parties and drugs are as old as music itself.

That doesn’t apply to having a team that does sex casting on social media for the artist though.

Just in case you missed it: there have been serious accusations against Till Lindemann, the singer of Rammstein, recently. Apparently his band managers contact young female Rammstein fans on social media before concerts, inviting them to secret after show parties where they get lots of alcohol and Till can choose one to drug even more and take to bed with him. Multiple women have come forward with similar claims and the social media thing has been well documented as far as I know. The case went to court but was dropped because there wasn’t enough proof and now he acts like nothing ever happened. I think everyone listening to the band should know about this.

Sounds like a great workplace.

Vitamin D3 is a good idea, generally the recommendation is 1000 IU a day. Especially now after the winter (assuming you’re in the Northern hemisphere) your vitamin D storage is probably depleted (the body needs a certain amount of UV radiation on the skin to produce vitamin D.

Regular exercise has been proven to help against depression and I think it’s probably the best and most important thing you can do. While helping your depression it will also help your general health and fitness.

Eat well: lots and lots of veggies, legumes and whole grain products. If unhealthy food makes you happy, don’t cut it from your diet completely. Allow yourself to eat sweets etc every once in a while and in moderation, but try to have a very healthy diet as a basis.

These things are probably hard to implement when you’re depressed in the first place but I guarantee you they’ll help and become easier as you go if you consistently stick to them. It takes about 66 days on average to build new habits. So if you manage to stick to it for about 2-3 months, it will become a lot easier.

Good luck!

My dreams are not unlike yours

They long for the safety

And break like a glass chandelier

But there’s laughter and oh, there is love

Just past the edge of our fears

And there’s chaos when push comes to shove

But it’s music to my ears

Rise Against - People Live Here

Wow, this actually sounds very plausible.

Not a native speaker here. Would a French woman also be 'a Frenchman’s and if not, how would you refer to a French woman correctly?

Spoons, forks, knives. That’s the only correct order. Knives are on the right because you use them with your right hand, obviously.

I don’t know if that’s just a German thing, but: Swiffer.

The knockoffs are all crap.

Yes, that’s exactly what I had in mind. The characters need to have their story and their intentions hard coded. But using that as a basis, how cool would it be to have an actual natural conversation with them where you can just ask them questions that come to your mind instead of having to choose from a set of pre defined questions. It would certainly require some re-imagination of RPGs but that wouldn’t actually hurt at all.

I have no idea if this could work anytime soon, but at some point I’m sure it’ll be possible.

An RPG where all the characters are LLM-powered with their story baked in, so you can actually have a free conversation with them and they’ll be basically chatGPT pretending they’re an actual real character. Bonus points for it being a VR game.

Next iteration: a game that’s generated by an AI while you play it so every playthrough is absolutely completely different.

I can’t wait for AI-powered games, to be honest.

That’s really neat, thank you!

There are alternate web UIs?

When someone in the supermarket coughs, I (a German) try to get as many aisles away from them as possible, so yes, can also confirm.

I would also assume that if someone who looks like a James introduces themselves as Samantha, it’s absolutely fine to ask for the correct pronouns, or ask them to confirm it’s female pronouns. Samantha would probably actually appreciate it.

I would have appreciated if the bottom right panel said “Hold my benzos” instead.

Fortunately only psychiatrists can prescribe drugs and they’re actual physicians.

Sometimes there are comments that I wish I could upvote multiple times, this is one of them.
