I have a friend who went to switzerland and they got fined 150 euros for getting on the wrong train because their train was at 2:05 and this train was the 2:00 train. She also told me that a frozen heat and eat sandwich at the grocery store was 8 euros so y’know I think I’m gonna pass on visiting that country.

This is the kinda fluff piece we need to break up the day.

Bless the guy who stabbed Bolsonaro in the gut and cursed him with perpetually being full of shit.

IDK if he’s a Zionist. I last saw him pre-October 7th and from what I know he’s less Zionist and more “enlightened centrist” who has to have a take on everything like his former job as a defense contractor gives him special insight into Middle East politics.

Pretty much!

I’m friends with a bunch of indie game dev’s and aside from that shared interest I had no idea why he was in the group because everyone else is way kinder and more fun to be around, especially his roommate at the time. I’m glad they finally booted him after he spread garbage everywhere. The rest of us completely support game preservation/piracy and it really irks me that he used his platform to attack gaming preservation and it was something that we argued about with him in person. (He did not like that I pointed out that offering your game free to torrent can be really helpful with marketing)

IKR? It was very weird to see “guy who was lowkey mean at several house parties” suddenly show up in my YouTuber slop feeds.

Very

Every time I see Pirate Software I do a double take because I actually met Thor in person multiple times (he is/was a friend of a friend). I’ve had conversations with him and spoke with him at parties. I had no idea he was a big streamer (Tho this was just before he used the algorithm to get big). Not gonna post more details because dox etc.

Let me just say- THIS GUY IS ALSO INSUFFERABLE IRL.

He would only ramble on about himself and he got offended by the most mundane shit at the drop of a hat. I tried engaging with him by showing him a trailer for Metal Hellsinger after he started talking about wanting to do a rhythm style shooter and he got mad (??? WHY???) and he just had no sense of humor, all ego, no fun allowed.

Anyway, he was booted from the friends group for a variety of reasons with Palestine being one of them. He is so insecure, which would be fine if he wasn’t an asshole.

Sherlock Holmes detective work if Sherlock Holmes had sniffed some ether, fell down, and cratered his frontal lobe on the corner of an oak desk.

Lmfao that’s some chief wiggum shit

Eh, it’s all vague from them in the articles and it was written in a way that’s like “We have not been able to get a hold of sister/niece. They may have left with [brother], but it is unlikely.” It’s just vague enough to activate couch detectives, but not enough to out me specifically. I’ve also transitioned and moved to another country I’m too busy trying to get my citizenship/settle in.

Yeah my brother was in a stable home and was medicated. He basically went out for a walk and didn’t come back and was reported missing and vulnerable the same day. The news and local subreddits posted about it and he has a lot of people looking for him, but I have a feeling that my mom didn’t give the full story because from what I read family members/the press were told that my brother did not have a history of suicidality or self harm but oh boy, that’s an absolute lie.

I want to get a hold of the detective and give them the full history but then I worry they’ll just go “eh, ok it’s suicide then” and then write the situation off. (Which they absolutely would do).

It’s so shitty. The lack of closure is so painful. I’m sorry about your uncle.

ACAB, 1312, etc.

Yeah damn I’m just over here vibing and I look over and the press is talking about how I could have abducted my brother. I wonder who implied that!? (Hint: My mom)

TBF I don’t think this protest is going to be like the women’s march where people are allowed to walk around and blow off steam. The pigs are out for blood this time.

That’s a pretty broad estimate.

He said himself that he can’t go back to Turkey for political reasons.

It’s so good

I’ve been watching Hasan a lot lately since I moved to Europe. I like watching the Turkish man yell at hogs while he feeds me news highlights.

Hasan has said, repeatedly, on his streams that he doesn’t want to leave because “can’t tell me what to do, I’m stubborn, this is my home etc etc”. This may be a bit parasocial but the guy comes across to me as someone who hates changing his routine to the point where he’s putting himself in harms way.

It was really interesting watching his interview last night with Chris Hedges, because Chris straight up told him, “You know, they’re preparing to try and have you killed. It’s blood libel because they want your blood.” This is coming from a well seasoned investigative reporter who has lost a lot of journalist friends, if Hedges is saying Hasan should protect himself then I hope that Hasan listens.

Amazing interview BTW. There were several moments where Hedges sat Hasan down and laid out the ugly truth for him regarding Gaza and Hasan looked a bit shaken up. I think Hedges at one point said, “The reason the media is relaxing is because it’s too late, unless the famine is broken within the next few weeks- hundreds of thousands will die from starvation. Unless something radical happens soon- it’s inevitable. I have seen this before.”

I’m really hoping Hasan stops being stubborn and gets the fuck out of the US because he’s not only putting himself, but his entire family, at risk. While he’s not perfect I’d much rather him continue his work as a leftist entry point and propagandist than become a martyr.

My grandmas house had one of these. The bathroom area had two entrances leading into the SINK ZONE then there was a toilet/bathtub behind a door. She had a lot of grandchildren visit and it was more common for people to have 3+ more kids in the 80’s/90’s so having two sinks made things more efficient.

Thanks!

I have a few questions. You can DM me if you aren’t comfortable answering them here.

1. Any recommendations for a pc repair place? There are a ton here but I am nervous about my remedial spanish and I fear getting ripped off. My laptop needs a new battery and it likely needs new thermal paste in the cpu, so any recs for repair/supplies is appreciated.

2. Speaking of, I could repair the laptop myself but idk what service people use for online orders here. Amazon is 10€ to 20€ delivery fee (I assume to discourage people from using Amazon, but still, ow!) I also need distilled water but every time I go to the pharmacy I get “???” In response. I need it for my CPAP. I assume locals use different online services.

3. Any good queer hangout spaces/lounges around here? I’m an introvert so while I can enjoy the Disco, it’s not ideal.

4. My old city had a newspaper distributed around the city featuring local news/events/want ads. Think “The Stranger” or “Los Angeles Reader”, does Bilbao have anything like that?

Ty for your time!

Understood, the court has spoken.
