@DrewCommins I think in central Europe it is roughly as popular as it was 15 years ago, if not even more popular.

Massive respect to his efforts so far. 🙏

@epicdemiologist Exactly. I just hate it.

Just finished We Were Made for These Times: Ten Lessons for Moving Through Change, Loss, and Disruption by Kaira Jewel Lingo (2021).

Simple and pleasant reading, and I believe it was written from the heart. However, it wasn’t quite my cup of tea. To me it felt a bit bland, and I didn’t really learn anything entirely new.

@ollej It’s a nice one!

My son got his flu vaccine yesterday. It was a nasal spray, so there was no pain at all, and it was actually quite fun for him. And we even managed to get to nursery afterwards.

It cost around €30, and part of it will be covered by our insurance.

@bud_t We have Krups Sensation C50 and I can recommend.

Out of nowhere, I suddenly figured out my old password to my #Twitter / #X account, logged in and... deleted the account.

@miffyhelen I never understood how my wife was able to introduce herself and sign with her new name right after the wedding. I mean, it is November and I'm still having trouble getting used to the fact that it's already 2025...

@alloalli @mrpjevans Probably except North Korea 🙂

@mjack Looks cool!

@AeonCypher Not sure about Holiday, but the description fits Peterson, Musk, and Tate perfectly. Predatory capitalism without rules and basic empathy is really not something I would consider #stoicism. I don't think the goal of stoicism is to turn you into a heartless, highly functional sociopath. But modern pseudo-stoicism sometimes manifests itself that way.
This is the first time I've heard Yarvin being associated with stoicism. And I don't know the others - seem to be some manosphere madmen.

@IPXFong I think I had something similar with Bedouins in Jordan!

@orchun Hmm, I have tried many of them and my answer is... Fedilab 🫣
