"I like to drink wine more than I used to. Anyway I'm drinking more."

I can't remember who originally posted this here Wasted, or Cornfed?

Edit: It was Cornfed, 08 November 2012
 
Fish market is still closed, nobody takes the responsibility to reopen it.
Small damage it was for sea fish, locals like river ones.

Potential bad news for Maidenfans, the tall building in the middle was designed to be 666 meters but Airforce is objecting, they want to skim a few meters for safety, 6 or 60.
Thankfully the final decision is not made yet, remaining to see if private capital (666) will win over public safety (not 666) :D

So my Facebook algorithm, for reasons I am still thinking about, recommended me a German alt history novel in which Germany won the Second World War. Which is fishy enough in itself, and the plot summary is full of dog whistles, but the discussion in the commentaries was something else. A few people actually stated that this may not be the most desirable scenario, leading to the usual mob shouting back at them, which in turn led to someone calling one of the mob a Nazi. And the guys who run the page barged in to say something to the effect of, "we appreciate controversial discussions, but it is unwarranted to call anyone who disagrees with you a Nazi".

Which, you know, guys I get the sentiment, but guys. Seriously, guys.
 
It all comes back to something I posted here earlier this year:

Social media is full of memes and posts about people realising they've "grown up" or they are "old" when something mildly humiliating happens.

To me, the real moment when I realised that was when I noticed it's become a common occurrence to hear that someone you know has died.

Me, age 26: have nobody to call so nothing ever happens.
Sometimes my helplessness to change this life drives me so mad, I just destroyed a chair. The only time I feel alive is when I’m getting beaten up in self-defense training.

Sometimes I struggle with similar feelings. I think it is important to recognize that only you have your voice. There is something special you bring to everything you are involved in. Also going crazy or falling deeply into something has helped me. Work, gym, or school, I find time to manically obsess over one of those things everyday.

Any of you guys, German or otherwise, ever had or played any of the following board games (FX Schmid / Pelikan): Xerxes a.k.a. Ritterschlacht, Napoleon, Frundsberg, Solo?

If Solo is a board game with balls and holes where Nballs =Nholes-1 and you jump a ball to eliminate it, trying to leave as less balls as possible and you play it well… solo, I’ve played it.

That used to be my jam during childhood! Still have it somewhere. The aim is, at the end of the game, only one ball/marble should remain.

Also without empty hole :eek:

Indeed, it hasn't lost any of its marbles (yet ...) Seriously though, you do have spare marbles, don't you? We would always start by filling up the board completely and then removing the one in the middle - it was some time before it occurred to us "why don't we just not bother putting the one in the centre?" :lol:

Also that particular example has an additional marble in each corner of the grid: a bit more of a challenge then ...
 
To be fair, I never owned this game, always played it in a particular bar of my youth.
I guess there must been there some spares but no such memory of unboxing or even installing the balls.
According to memory the game was always on the table always ready to play and the boss always coming near the table and mocking the players.
