Yeah. I had no idea there were factions. I read about the open nature of Lemmy and thought it wouldn’t matter. Now I’m an .ml user…

I speak 4 languages and it feels like I think differently in each language.

I’m 46. No elder yet but I’ve done some stuff that formed me in a good way.

Do shitty jobs for a while. And I say that with the most respect because I’ve done them all.

• call center
• cashier at a supermarket
• customer service
• waiter
• …

It’ll teach you to appreciate good jobs later in life.

Travel abroad and interact with people. Profound experiences will follow. You’ll open up to other cultures and opinions.

Travel on foot or by bike and camp. You’ll view our planet and nature in a different way.

Build routines. Everyday routines are obvious but try to embrace some more periodical routines like gathering with some friends around the solstices. I invite people around winter solstice every year without them knowing the occasion. Nothing big, just some simple food and drinks. No party, just getting together. Campfire at night is tradition. I try to invite new people to the group every year and nobody is obliged to come. Life can be busy as you get older.

Value experiences over possession but don’t throw away your money. Life altering experiences don’t have to cost much. You can travel nearby or on the cheap.

If you like to draw, follow some entry drawing classes. If you don’t like to draw, follow some photography classes. Entry level stuff is fine. It’ll teach you to be a better spectator. (Learning how to look at and interpret art teaches you the same skill)

I haven’t payed any speeding tickets in years since I stick to the speed limit.

Actually I do and I did. I’ve requested the DPIA and the technical specifications through freedom of information request.

Exactly. And that why these average speed zones are more effective in enforcing speed limits. Most people get the point and grasp the idea of average speed.

By the way, I’ve been driving in England for several weeks over tge last moths. They drive like idiots over there. And I must admit we Belgians aren’t the best drivers either but damn…

I was amazed by the courtiousness I’ve encountered on Slovenian and Montenegrin roads. The contrast is huge.

Automated speed or red light camera’s aren’t the same as the invasive ANPR/ALPR crap.

We have red light camera’s for ages. They only register when someone runs a red light. That’s used to be a hoge problem when I was young. These days it’s non existent.

Same for speed enforcement camera’s. You don’t speed, you’re not under surveillance.

Finally.

Ren does some good videos indeed.

De Staat - Witch doctor

• The video clip allways weirds me out but I’ll never stop watching when it’s on.

Fatboy Slim - Weapon of choice

• Christopher Walken kills it.

The prodigy - Smack my removed up

• child sentiment. Love the POV style.

Aphex twin also gets a solid place in my heart. Love all of their videos

Come to daddy

Last year a lot of Belgian brewers have entered the game and it seems that they’re expertise results in some great non(low)-alcoholic beers. As for why you would want a beer without alcohol. It’s pretty refreshing.

I suppose that about 1% of the inhabitants of our planet has a certain intolerance to gluten. Probably even more because a lot of people have such a light intolerance they write it off as something else.

There’s a lot of bad champagnes because the name only represents it origin and a certain production process but it’s not an indication of quality.

Apart from that there are teriibly sweet champagnes too but mostly people serve brut/dry versions that tend to be on the sour side. I’ve had champagne that just tasted like grapejuice.

Tastes like the cough syrup I got when I was a kid. The cough syrup that got me drunk.

Seems like you only had bad or strong kombucha?

Foamy dog vomit is a band name I would claim.

There is no singular taste to alcoholic drinks though.
