  • My initial comment was meant cynically. “Filthy rich” surely doesn’t apply to someone that can feed some people without budgeting. That is not living, that is survival. Here (Germany) we’d say you’d need about 250k for a kid til it gets 18. Working-class-level. It gets waaaay higher with private schools and such. And we don’t even pay for healthcare (unless you want to) nor college. 4 kids comes to a mil. And that’s just the kids. Parents are likely living some place and maybe even have hobbies besides working and kids (though probably not with that many kids)

    I was referring to a level of “filthy rich” where you have that amount of cash for each kids AND yourselves. And in the case of the USA even another 100k (or whatever) for each kid’s college. And oh boy will all that money go to waste if one kid ends up sick. And maybe your kid wants to go to some famous school or want a pony or become a skydiver.

    But hey, to each their own. I wouldn’t even find the time for a job with all my hobbies, let alone one single kid 😁


  • Then, this question comes to mind, why do you have 5 kids?

    I’ve got way more money than I’d ever need but would still consider myself not loaded enough to have ONE kid, let alone two or even more. And I live in a place with universal healthcare and a social safety net. Kids are fucking expensive. And I would want my kids to have EVERY chance at this world. And this world, especially the USA, is made against the poor(-ish). They shall not rise.






  • Sorry for late reply, was horribly busy setting up my new server…

    Lol yes, I get that often regarding the language. Though I learned English in school (in the 90s) I never needed it back then and sucked at it. But due to my love being the IT I had to learn-by-doing. Setting everything to English, watching and reading everything in English etc. Up to the point that I often even talk with my wife in English. We often sound like fucking immigrants with a horrible kraut-accent 😁

    And yeah sure, why should muricans learn anything else? There only is one country anyway 😊

    It’s the same here BTW with those “seculars”. Most of the Christians here aren’t really religious and probably never saw a church from the inside. Though that might seem harmless, they still fuel a system that keeps the system retrograde and moribund. Not to the extend of Islam maybe but still. I despise religion from the depths of my being. Not an atheist though, just an agnostic. I feel like atheism is the same kind of ignorance, just turned 180° 😊




  • Maybe not specifically PH but porn actually always was the driving force for the net since day 1. We don’t have high speed net now because someone needed to download a linux-distro quicker. Or google harder. YouTube and vimeo and such came waaaaaaay later. There also were no social media where people needed to upload large dog-pics. It was porn. Everyone wanted their tits to download NOW not somewhere in the future.

    And I vividly remember the times where you had to wait for a long while to see your image grow line by line until you finally maybe saw said tit, and it surely - and hopefully - wasn’t a bird 😁

    I have no studies at hand but I’d bet part of my left nut on that theory. Hence I found that image concluding.





  • You (and the upvoters) thought that this was a clever statement. But it actually was not. It was very disrespectful.

    Victims of abuse most often can’t “just leave”. It’s not always that simple. It just appears simple to people far outside of abuse, having neither experienced nor witnessed it. Or, the rare case, are victims of survivorship bias, because they were in the miniscule percentage of people successfully leaving abusive enviromnente AND be smug about it afterwards. As someone working with abuse victims, it’s really never a “then just leave!”


  • Oh no, I totally botched that translation 😁 I meant this more in the sense of “I cried because I had no shoes until I saw a man who had no feet”. Like when 99% of the country is great but you’re complaining about the 1% that isn’t.

    That hate for the poor is here too, maybe just not THAT exaggerated as to throw them in prisons for free labour. They are the best scape-goat for everything that is bad. Our people living on welfare are also always the source of everything that destroys our future. And despise for them is a very common thing amongst the regular joes and Janes. This was actually one of the main points why I stopped working. This workplace - ethics here are unbearable. Mixed with the sheer stupidity or ignorance. No Jacqueline, it’s not the fault of welfare that “those beggars make nearly the same like me without lifting a finger!”. It’s your boss that sacks 99,9999% of all profits for him while paying you jack-shit.

    That’s also a very deeply imprinted, I dare to say indoctrinated, life-motto here: lick the asses above you, kick the asses below you. I always found this to be deeply wrong and incredibly disgusting.

    As to the jew-topic: I have a very deep disdain for religion/cults. As they’re the epitome of evil to me and most often, if not the source, the the justification for tremendous violence, injustice, sexism, racism and whatever else *isms on this rotten planet. So, while I don’t like what the Israelis do, I don’t mind at the same time. It’s child-abusers killing other child-abusers. And mysognists for free on top. Couldn’t cheer for one side. The hipocrisy of it is what drives me nuts. I grew up learning how bad we are for what we did one-two generations before. And now they do the same and still play the victim- or antisemitism a card.

    To be clear: I dont care for people’s beliefs. The organized crime, errrr church it is what I despise. This fucking tribalism.


  • ‘Maddening’ seems like a good fit. And the joker (using the latest movie as base) also fits well the open eyes in a dark world. How else to cope if not with dark humor. I see it the same way and my humor has always been very dark. And with each decade i become more “incompatible” with social groups and need to restrain my cynicism and misanthropy. But how could one not become that when running around with open eyes, unclouded and unaffected by propaganda?

    Fuck, I’m sorry to hear that dude. I always cuss at our local injustices here towards handicapped and whatever else, but then I hear/read something from you guys and it all seems relatively grear again. Like our saying “complaining on a high Niveau”. We are far from perfect (and even drift in the wrong direction), but, in principle, we have a social/medical net. Homeless people, in theory, get their welfare, everyone does who can’t work. We were even close to the much better solution “universal income”.

    Homelessness being illegal is one of the most dystopian things there could be. But probably helps greatly in getting cheap labour punishing bad people for their crimes.

    Crossing fingers your realism pessimism won’t be fulfilled and trump suddenly dies of penile rotting cancer and untreatable adult testicular torsion. But I could totally imagine camps. You could even name them bad-people-killing-facility and Murica, nay the whole world wouldn’t even flinch. It would just be noticed and maybe harshly judged by some random, yet uninfluential, intellectuals. Like with what the Jews currently do. Especially weird if you grew up here, where generational guilt is still taught at school.


  • Oh yes, bowie was a special one too. RIP.

    And I can totally feel you. I would probably have long emigrated. I remember back when I was younger people thought a green-card (if that stuff is still a thing, I dunno) to work/live in the US was the tits. Now I wouldn’t even consider working there if I’d be making less than, dunno, 20k net a month? Considering you’re always just a severe illness or accident away from bankruptcy… In that case even 20k can vanish with near light-, nay, ludicrous speed.

    And exactly knowing what is going on and how to fucking fix the shit, but noone gives a rat’s ass…this is something very…is there a fitting word for it? Especially if you see people getting fucked, cheering at the people that fuck them raw, wondering why their asses hurt. To use a more vivid language 😁

    But, it’s not just you guys. I witness the same trend here (krautland) too. Hitler isn’t even fully rotted yet, and we’re close to have voted nazis into power again. That also fuck exactly those peeps that voted them and cheered for them. Leopards ate my face hm?

    Just keep the sheeples busy with work, social media and…well that’s enough already.
