Come say hi here or over at https://twitch.tv/AzzuriteTV :) I like getting to know more people :)

Little common luxuries, lots of nature, lots of silence, freedom from most things. It’s a return to a more ancient, simple way of life.
For some people this represents extreme comfort and serenity.
For other people they don’t understand why you’d give up having a warm shower readily available (or similar things) and are annoyed the whole way.
Have fun finding out what’s yours! :D
Can you honestly say that you sacrifice everything for the environment? Have as little/positive carbon footprint as in any way possible?
I’m saying that eventually stopping to sacrifice personal benefits for the common good is fine. I.e. being selfish.
I have 2C wireless and there is no Bluetooth to be found.
There is no “hook” though. We shouldn’t be fighting against each other.
Every person has a different level of personal sacrifice for the greater good that they are ok with. It is completely fine to be selfish. If that means that we’re fucked as a species, then that’s what that means.
If we militantly blame people for still eating animal products for example, it’ll just create hostilities that are further entrenching the sides. Instead we need to push to compromises, everywhere. Make animal products more expensive, using the tax or whatever to offset their carbon impact. People that still want to buy it can buy it. Or say it’d be best to not eat animal products, but if that’s too hard, how about just a little less, however much is acceptable.
It’s not optimal, absolutely true, but it has a much higher chance of working.
No, it was not only placing blame on individuals. That is your interpretation of it.
But who else is to blame? Seriously…
Where do you think these 57 companies get their money from to continue doing their shit? By individuals buying their shit.
What do you think these 57 companies consist of? They employ hundreds of thousands of individuals. Each of which could theoretically decide not to continue with that.
Of course I realize it’s not that easy, individual situations may be complex, and that there’s different amounts of blame to go around. You’re correct, these companies have concentrated blame to them and it’d be more impactful to regulate them specifically.
But my statement is simply also true. Multiple things can be true at the same time. Multiple courses of action can be reasonable.
Ideas are incredibly cheap. It’s absolutely unlikely that no one ever had your idea. It’s even likely that someone had your idea and it failed, and you don’t/can’t even know about it because no one bothered to record the failure.
Other people have mentioned all kinds of ambitious/proper ways to do this. I’ve got a different view: if you truly think this will work, do a basic version yourself.
Learn basic blender, design 3D printed parts yourself and let someone print them. Use some app builder and tutorials, or hire a programmer for a very rudimentary prototype work. Buy generic electronics. Just get it working once. Then show it to people, let them use it, ask if they would buy it, preferably let them sign a slip of paper not to talk about this product or compete with it (there are standard NDA/non-compete contract clauses online available) or talk to people you can trust.
If you do all this and get positive feedback, then you can start doing this properly and get more people on it, like the other commenters mentioned.
No. Just no. You’re talking about perfectionism basically. Who cares about continuing maintenance? If you get the product out there and working enough to last the 2 years warranty, you’re completely fine. One programmer is perfectly capable of learning the most basic things about the disciplines you mentioned, it doesn’t need to be good, it just needs to do its job mostly.
You have no clue about the scope of what this guy’s idea is since he gave no info. Maybe it’s so simple not even one programmer would have to work on it for very long.
Of course, what you say is perfectly possible to be “correct”, but you just have no way of knowing.
“me reducing my carbon emissions won’t change anything” said ten million people.
It’s already unique. I can’t get what I get here anywhere else.
Of course you can create it basically anywhere. But if you’re going to allow posting of pictures of women in bikinis, your community will be mainly used to masturbate, that much is guaranteed. So if that is the case, it makes complete sense to put it on lemmynsfw.com.
I’m not sure how many are actually interested directly in bikinis. I.e. if there was no woman attached to them, would people actually like and comment on pictures of bikinis, or start discussion threads about topics related to bikinis? I mean sure, there are probably some people, but I’m also pretty sure they’re vastly outnumbered by people interested in bikinis because a woman is clothed by them.
You can’t change people. They have to want it themselves. If she’s not looking for any help, there’s nothing you can do.
The only thing that might happen if you’re not a very actually good friend with them, is they might dial it back in your presence to not be annoyed by you about it.
Complaining does not constitute “wanting help”. Most people complain just because it makes them feel better in the moment.
Nix zu danken. Ist verständlich das mit dem alleine sein.
Ich hab selbst vor 2.5 Jahren einvernehmlich ne 7 jährige Beziehung beendet, ich habe die Grundlagen geändert und sie hat dann gesagt, dass das für sie nicht geht. War danach auch ziemlich am Arsch xD
Dann mal viel Spaß mit dem remaster. Ich hab zu der Zeit viel Dota gespielt :)
Makes sense to me. I came back to this a little late, did not see your replies to my comment(s) until now. Having read everything you wrote: your parents not at home (I thought they were), she reducing sex massively, her not wanting to talk about you, the increase in contact to the guy, all seemed to me like she was not attracted to you anymore.
I’m really sorry. If you need someone to talk to or something (in German as well if you like, your name sounds like that, I’m from Germany), we can if you want. I haven’t had a situation like this, but I know how much breakups hurt.
So to get to your actual question, from what exactly you wrote you definitely seem to be overreacting to this specific situation. They’re at her parents home, she’s unlikely to have any intentions to cheat on you there.
However, if you don’t mind me saying, your relationship also doesn’t sound completely secure to me. Would you mind some more questions regarding the general relationship and yourself and some advice in that regard or are you fine with this for now? :)
I’m sorry if this is not what you’re asking… But sex 2-3 times a week to 2-4 times a year? Are you really ok with that? This is what stands out to me most here.
But isn’t “pick up multiple orders at a restaurant, then figuring out in which order to deliver them to minimize time spent delivering” the traveling salesman problem? I thought that’s what the post referred to.
While I said it’s completely fine to be selfish, I didn’t say it’s completely fine to be completely selfish. I think I made it pretty clear that I think some level of selfishness is completely fine, not every level of selfishness.
