Videogames
Was spielen sie?
I am thinking about starting a new game in either Vintage Story (autistic minecraft clone started by an Austrian IIRC) and Workers and Resources which should need no introduction, it's the best city builder ever made.
I'm undecided on which, I already own both.
What if, purely hypocritically, one soldier who got transferred to a rear unit recently and got a vacation, chose not to return to his unit and just stayed living in his freshly renovated apartment treading carefully outside only early in the morning or late at night? Would it be feasible? Hypothetically of course.
This guy probably had no internet presence whatsoever. No images of his face, no mentions of his name. A ghost online. And now? His name is going to show up forever, with pictures of his face and mentions of his online history. Along with videos of his house and family and details of his living situation. Publicized to the masses and impossible to remove.
This is something from my nightmares and I experience severe paranoia at times thinking that I could get exposed and humiliated like this.
I found this post on Reddit. A substitute teacher, from Sweden, wrote about how technology is negatively impacting the youth and their ability to perform in school. Here's the original post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/sweden/comments/112u7m5/kan_vi_prata_om_hur_den_digitala_v%C3%A4rlden_p%C3%A5verkar/
Rough translation:
> I have worked as a substitute teacher for over a year in middle schools and high schools. I am extremely concerned and in some cases shocked over how big of a difference there is compared to my own school years. I'm born in the mid 90s so I'm fully integrated into the digital world. The difference is I didn't have a smart phone or any social medias until I was in upper secondary school.> * Students today (especially boys) have an awfully hard time concentrating. Many students (including those without a diagnosis) can't even do the simplest of tasks without being directly instructed by the teacher. If a math task takes more than 15 seconds, they need to take a phone break after 7 seconds (not an exaggeration). I've had high school students that can't handle reading 1/3 of an A4 paper with instructions, and these are students without a learning disorder.> * It's not unusual to have students that are completely disconnected from social life. I've had several students with autism (in multiple schools) that are allowed to sit with their laptops and headphones during class. And during recess. And during briefings, basically the entire day. These students are so fragile that they can't handle the social pressure of sitting in a classroom without a screen in front of them. Yes, autistic students have always existed - but back in the day there was no digital world to escape to. I have no idea how these students will be able to handle an adult life.> * Nowadays there are truants in basically every other class. Normal male (usually) students that simply can't handle the pressure of school and instead live their digital lives at home.> I'm not an expert in this field and don't have a relevant degree. But something is very wrong here. The only solution I can think of is some kind of nuclear strike approach:> * Ban smartphones in all schools (translation note: he's specially referring "grundskola", there isn't a good translation for the word that I know of, but basically he means until you're 15-16)> * Remove student laptops/Chromebooks. Have computer labs instead (students in 8th and 9th grade can have laptops)> * Remove all games/social media that exist on wifi (there are dozens of blocklists online)> Needed to get this off my chest, something is extremely wrong with the current system.
Additional comment from OP:
> Many high school students can barely write complete sentences in Swedish without rough grammatical errors and English loan words. Internet usage has without a doubt negatively impacted Swedish proficiency among students.
Other users in the comment section also paint a dire situation:
> Us 90s kids played Counter-Strike all day on our personal computers in upper secondary school and we still managed because we understood it was just a game/not reality.> Nowadays it feels totally hopeless when they are so connected to the digital world that they forget reality exists. I have a cousin that is almost 18 that doesn't have any diagnosis but has spent every day for the past 5 years at home. She blames this on her being "depressed" (despite the fact that doctors have said that she isn't, it's just an excuse that works). Her parents won't do anything about it because she gets mad if she doesn't get to sit in front of the computer 20 hours a day, and she hasn't even begun attending upper secondary school.

Bought this smartwatch for 39,99 € to watch my pulse rate while sleeping. The brand is the chinese Brand "YYKY" from Shenzhen. How high are the chances that my health data will directly uploaded to the chinese government?

It's very suspicious how you need an account and to sync it with your phone before you can use it, at least it was with some Xiaomi shit watch I had, the strap broke on it and there's no way to get a new one so it's useless now
Who is your favourite villain from film and television?
And, less importantly, what fictional villain from literature would you like to see a film about?

I like stories like that too except when it's due to a gradual or sudden plot twist. The main character is found to really not be doing good things at all.
So the viewer thinks they're watching the hero at the start but by the end they've actually been following the story of the villain.
>What will Drumpft do?
go out of district court and get the decision overturned.
americans happy that district court judges are exercising executive authority is just self destructive suicidal cuckoldry. like cutting your dick off and wearing a dress.

Had to talk to deutsche bahn hotline, after 25 minutes of waiting time a merkelman answered, he sounded hammered or sad and didnt gave the impression of knowing what he talked about. But he gave me a hint as to solve my problem which worker. I was very nice to him at that point (before that I was lawful neutral), telling him that he helped me a lot. I could immeditately hear him lighten up. This felt really good, maybe I prevented another truck incident by being nice

>>25637194>seat reservation
Fair enough. In never do this. If I don't find a seat I usually lurk around the toilets. I can hear cute girls pissing and maybe even get a whiff of their stool
Kek, Americans hate Asians and even kick them out of their planes. Even the Arkansas senator Tom Cotton is a big anti-chinese. Although looking at his phenotype you just know what he really is
I'd wished I was a Spanish soldier raping flemish lolis in the Spanish Netherlands, especially Peter Paul Rubens' daughter.
