I have 1/3 of a 1 TB SSD for Windows, Linux and a free partition for random stuff each. With home finally on a second 2 TB SSD. This is great, so far.

I assure you I am not

Yeah, they’re great. I love Burgundy.
But it’s a long trip from western Germany, that’s why I don’t go as often as I’d like to.

I don’t think in barbarian, no. But butter is scary!

Straight out of the pot, right! 🙌

That’s interesting information, thanks!

I was on vacation in Flavigny, an incredibly beautiful small village in Burgundy. I wanted my green beans straight from the garden behind the restaurant without butter and asked to use olive oil instead. The waiter was like “Why!?”. It took me five minutes to convince him, he was absolutely unsympathetic and I think I had to pay extra. :)

Non-asshole carnists can be great sparring-partners, though

What nonsense is this? There are lots and lots of great arguments. So once you decide to step in the arena you need to learn to reply to the Vegan Bullshit Bingo (long press!).

I usually don’t attack meat eaters if they leave me alone, but I’m outspoken about why I don’t eat animals and I defend my standpoint if necessary (log tap!). Usually, I don’t get emotional as I feel it’s not helping to convince anybody. I rather stay calm, factual and friendly. But at home, I still cry from all the videos my fellow carnists refuse to watch.

We could accomplish so much if we weren’t so lazy and comfortable. Distractions by our screens are not helping either, I think. So thank you for resisting!

Rogue empire

I can’t believe nothing is coming from the sane half of the country. This will not get any better. So where is the attitude, the boldness, the pride, the ego, the guns, everything that shaped my view of what the US are in the past decades? Where are you?!

I’m going to quote Erich Kästner again:

The events from 1933 to 1945 should have been combated by 1928 at the latest. Later it was too late. We must not wait until the fight for freedom is called treason. We must not wait until the snowball has turned into an avalanche. The rolling snowball must be crushed. No one can stop the avalanche. It only comes to rest when it has buried everything beneath it.
Erich Kästner, 1958

My playlists get sprinkled with a little Ancient FM: Music of the mediæval and renaissance eras.

Impressive! I’ve quoted this from memory for at least a decade. I used to listen to him when I went to sleep. :)

“My Chancellor said we should not indulge in superficial anti-Americanism now, but I assure you:
Mine is not superficial at all!”

You have no idea what you are taking about, Teknikal

This is not a book, but files to use in some kind of dictionary-app. AA is not a place for these kind of files, I’m pretty sure they won’t allow them over there.
