  • As an atheist I have a deep mistrust of proselytizing.

    That includes other atheists who think they need to spread their beliefs like a religion.

    I have atheist, christian and esoteric friends and family who keep their beliefs to themselves (unless asked for it) and it’s part of my worldview to (while being able to talk about it) not trying to convert someone to my beliefs.


  • Haha, already there. I canceled my Netflix a year ago or so after the amount of cheap self produced stuff got too much and they removed more and more older quality content.

    Now, whenever I want to stream I sign up for a single streaming service for a month or two - but the time where I was just subscribed all the time is over.

    Ah one reason also was the sharing crackdown, I had kept the subscription long term as my kids used it when they were at my place or my ex-wife’s. Nowadays it doesn’t work anymore as (for example) the TV my son has at the ex-wife’s place never is connected via my internet.

    With added commercials, less quality etc streaming got less attractive. Hey, nowadays I regularly go to movie theaters, again.

    And if things get worse, somewhere I still have my captain’s hat and the wooden leg for sailing the seven seas…





  • See, for me - I crashed in that time, burnout, divorce, financial problems.

    I’m rebuilding my life now step by step, and I’m rebuilding it in a way I don’t get into overload too much anymore.

    I learned to offset stressful times by time off, for example, and 4 out of 5 weekends I relax. (And, yes I do allow myself to cheat, but I’m aware I go into “credit” energy-wise. So in total I take care my “energy account” stays positive and my life is so much better for it)






  • No, not all Russians are evil and deserve to die. But closing your eyes and playing oblivious to what’s happening out there, just believing the state propaganda and living in a position “oh it’s just the bad leader” is not a morally OK position.

    If there is a dictator in your country you have some moral duty to find out at least a bit about the truth.

    How do I know?

    I’m German.

    My grandparent’s generation was the one that actively closed their eyes, that actively looked away, that everything that happend was someone else’s problem. They were the Generation that arranged themselves, that did good business as long as it wasn’t them that were deported, killed or fought at in the war.

    This is not a position that is morally OK, but this is what I see of a lot of Russians. Not all, but a lot.
