I'm gonna be brutally honest here, as I don't care about the downvotes, but the amount of insanity and taboo around sexuality on - presumably predominantly American - online forums is indeed hard to bear. Always ready with the negative connotations: skimpy, slutty, cooties, cheating, home-wrecker; don't even eye your cousin, that's incest, therefore the worst thing in the world; a young woman loves a much older man, oh, he must have been grooming or coercing her; don't masturbate or you'll go blind, hair will grow on your palms... From a European POV, these seem like compulsory figments of messed-up minds. Love, sex - why can't they just be there? So people can enjoy them? Why must people shit all over everything that brings joy? Even when mentioning these taboos "ironically," such people perpetuate a culture of prudery and I don't want it to creep into my own culture.

 

I love it. Pictured: TextMaker. There are also modules for spreadsheets and presentations.
It's a lot more polished and professional than LibreOffice or OpenOffice, both of which I've been using for a very long time.
I'd recommend it especially to (ESL) researchers due to 100% MS Office compatibility, the integration of Zotero, DeepL, ChatGPT, Wikipedia and various thesauri. One-time or recurring fee. I am not affiliated to the company.

 

sorry for the potato quality

Going down a Wikipedia Plutonium rabbit hole, I just realized that the Metropolis algorithm was named after a real person.

Two quotes that made my hair stand on end:
Vance’s message couldn’t have been clearer: Our way, or we’ll join Putin in hybrid warfare to roil your domestic politics — something billionaire Elon Musk has already done by boosting the prospects of the far-right Alternative for Germany party.
Kuleba: "In Paris, he literally said, 'Don’t try to compete with us on AI. Embrace our companies, remove all the obstacles, and then everything will be fine.' … Then he came here, and after attacking Europe’s economic model, he attacked its political model."

 

LibriVox is otherwise pretty normal, but this has me puzzled. The CD (!) case insert says: "Read by Justin Barrett, braindouche, Cow Nose the 50 Pound Cat, Sibella Denton, Esther, and Andrew Lebrun. Total running time: 00:54:13." Seems insane to me. Why put the whole reading on a CD? Why 5000 digits? Why are there no chapters? What if they made a mistake? Did they double-check the result? Who needs any of that anyway?

 

Noch eingeschrumpft, bin sehr gespannt.
Der Laika-Verlag ist zwar bankrott gegangen, der Buchverkauf geht jedoch weiter, solange der Vorrat reicht.

During the pandemic, this was, in fact, my main computer's desktop. Bonus: SimpleFind screenshot. Isn't it the greatest finder program of all time?
