My guess is that he is a DnD player that has to flash out the background of his character, so the DM can start using characters from his background.

With Dirt Rally, you get a pretty damn good simulation experience for a fraction of the cost, a minimal time investment, and zero of the risks. All you need is a PC and a decent steeringwheel.

I started dancing 2 years ago in my early 30s. Salsa/bachata specifically. Never danced a step before then (or at least: not while sober). After a 2 years of practise, I now regularly get compliments at the festivals/parties, and the ladies at the dance school like it when I'm joining the lessons, since I can lead well. I'm still no expert, but I certainly get a lot of joy from it. And for the record: I'm a slightly overweight nerd who is certainly not nimble or agile. I also hate rythm games, I suck at those, but dancing on the beat is so much easier!

My point is: it's worth trying. Find a dance school that teaches salsa and/or bachata, and go for it. If you find the right people, you will stay motivated, and it gets more and more fun!

There is one conversion that I use every now and then: liter to kilo: A liter of water weighs about a kilo.

Helpful to compare groceries when some products use weight and others volume. For example, I can buy 1kg buckets of yoghurt. I then know that those buckets hold about 1 liter. Handy when re-using the buckets.

He has been prime minister for long enough to know exactly how little the European leaders will care about his Trump appeasements.

I still think that Rutte is the perfect guy for this role, now that we have to deal with Trump. Able to change position while shrugging of any hypocrasy, as slimy as your steriotypical politician, and plenty of experience.

To be fair, joining the Russian army does make planning the rest of your life a lot easier.

I'm more confused on how drinking gas works. Gas is something I breath in, rather than drink.

Yeah, this one is just messed up. They use binary to display the individual characters of a decimal number. This makes it wayyy harder to read than a proper binary clock.

Why would the needs of someone doing more hazardous work be higher? What do they need more food/housing/entertainment/luxury for? I guess more healthcare needs, but I don't think that is going to convince someone to do the hazardous work.

As soon as you reward because of the hazardous working environment, it is nolonger distribution based on needs of the individual, but based on demand for the job. Rewarding based on supply and demand is capitalistic, not communistic.

Note that I'm no supporter of either (or any) Ideology. I believe we should apply the concepts of different ideologies where they make the most sense. In this case, applying capitalism to attract people into undesirable jobs, makes sense.

I see this definition of communism more lately, but the dictionary definition of communism absolutely does not rewards based on work. It rewards based on need. To the point where money can be abolished altogether. What you describe sounds like socialism, where the distribution of goods is based on contribution, rather than need.

I feel like a lot of discussions surrounding communism have this issue, where people do not have the definition of communism aligned properly. Where did you learn your definition of communism? And where can one read about it? What I have been taught aligns very well with Wikipedia.

Yup. Same here. I suspect she'd rather die than lose the oppertunity to become a grandparent.

You should be proud of your ability of regulate your emotions such that you can make the decisions based on logic and reason. But also take the time to process your emotions. It would be illogical to deny them. Even Vulcans need time and effort to do that!

And these emotions exist for a reason. I'm certain this dog must have had a wonderful last leg of it's life, since they had someone that cared for them so much, that it hurts you to finally have to make the decision to put the dog down.

Live long and prosper, so that many more may experience your love.
