Not kind of. Germany is so ahead in certain aspects Russia copied it. Example: Data preservation. Germany is not a safe haven. Never was, never will be.

Germany is turning into a mass surveillance state.

Germany? Yikes.

Did anyone expect anything else?

I used to make a living with helping artists stepping up to a higher level. I’ve seen a lot fail but a few succeeding.

Don’t look for your niche, create it. Write something that is too unique to be replicated easily - not by humans, not by AI. This applies to both content and style. It’s also important to be present as an author so (possible) fans can get in touch with you (“The artist next door”). Try to get a foot into other fields as well. How about writing stories and scripts for video games for example? This also helps with networking and slapping your name onto all kinds of products.

Another tip: Attend business classes. Learn how economy works. You would be surprised how many successful artists did that silently. This alone gives you a huge advantage over most artists who don’t know anything about starting (and keeping) a business (Heck, they don’t even know anything about taxes). Turn yourself into your own company. With this mindset you will work more efficient and effective. It’s no fun but it’s very helpful in the long run if you want to make a living with art some day.

Now that’s some advanced trolling.

It’s the same as with fictional horror. It gives you a sense of control. You can play and you can stop at any time.

Straight to jail just for downloading PianoOne. What a time to live in.

I guess we now need an even deader dead internet theory.

What if you need to download something and it’s going slow, taking more than two hours?

That’s the safe safeword.

There is. It’s “Worcestershiresauce sauce”.

It’s funny and painful at the same time. Like having sex with a BDSM clown.

Thanks for answering again. Good to hear that.

I can recommend it. Works really well.

Thanks for answering.

Another question: Do people get punished who protest against the Netanjahu regime and its actions regarding Gaza? If so, how serious are they?

I’m immune to this, I only find it irritating and annoying. Which seems to be rather rare. I guess I miss something most men have. But I’m glad because I’ve seen the scorched earth manic pixie dream girls leave behind numerous times…

How tense is the situation among citizens regarding Gaza? Does it divide friends and families?

Beat me to it.

Can’t find the study anymore but women with traits associated with BPD seem to be perceived as more attractive for men. I think it was in Psychology Today. Very interesting.
