  • It would allow me to pay for the training and licensing for my dream job a year earlier than I had planned (since it would take me roughly about a year to save up these last €2k that I’m still missing), which would not only massively improve my standard of living, but also turn me into a happier, more balanced and less gloomy person in general.






  • I’m pretty sure some of my T-shirts could win this if we don’t take this whole “daily” I aspect too seriously. There are a few from my teenage years that are still in good shape and still fit, which I’ve had for literally more than half my life by now.

    That “daily”-aspect makes it really hard though, since there are days when I don’t even need my house keys. Lighbulbs die after some time, so they ain’t it either. And would wardrobes count as “items”? I tried thinking about this question so hard for way longer than I probably should’ve now, and got to no unanimous conclusion so far. But in the end, it doesn’t even matter, so I’ll just go with: probably my glasses






  • I never got the appeal of achievements in the first place. I see them more as friendly reminders than something actually worthwhile pursuing. Chasing them is only making things stressful and tedious, oftentimes annoying and grindy. That’s kinda the exact opposite of any of the reasons I play video games for in the first place. If you want to use guides to get that 100% completion badge, do it. But if you ask me, your question means that you’re letting other people tell you how to play your games on 2 different levels: first by the devs in telling you what “completing the game” has to mean for you and now, secondly, by strangers on the internet in their opinion about which ways to get there are appropriate. Play it the way you want! If you want to hunt achievements because it’s fun to you, do it! And if you feel like referring to guides to get there, then do that, too!




  • I love it when sequels DON’T include that the couple that fell in love towards the end of the first movie has now broken up again, just for the sake of some kind of forced tension between two character that’ll just end up together all over again anyway.

    On a side note, that’s also one of the things I loved about Brooklyn 99: once Jake and Amy got together, it stayed that way. There wasn’t this boring “they’re together again, oops, now they’re not” so many other otherwise good sitcoms used to death for their main cast (looking at you, Scrubs)






  • The whole “the world will end in 2012” hysteria back then. It was my first glimpse into conspiracy theories, which I’ve spent a lot of time learning about ever since. It made me realize that nothing is ever too idiotic to not have an alarming number of people fall for it. It’s why I wasn’t surprised by the rise of the Q-movement or the resistance against the absolute bare minimum of COVID measures because of microchips in vaccines etc. All of that were just yet additional “of course people believe that shit”-moments for me.

    Like Tommy Lee Jones said in Men in Black “A person is smart - people are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals.”

    I haven’t been surprised by how stupid people can be in a long time.
