  • This is an interesting take, and I never viewed taxes as ethical or not. I however would not call taxes parasitic, as they are used to finance healthcare, education, culture etc. So there is a give and take, like in a symbiotic relationship.

    I think we consider it parasitic whenever we are already struggeling financially, aren’t convinced the money is spent well by the government or feel above the government due to societal status.

    Where I am personally unhappy with taxes is regarding certain goods fresh food, womens hygene products etc. - essential every day items. After the pandemic these things became somewhat pricey. However, I am not sure reducing taxes on food would be financially sustainable and a state that is bankrupt is the worst possible outcome.

    I wanted to say more and adress more points, but I am too tired and can’t really express as well, so I’ll cut this short right here :)




  • but it’s not an ADHD “pick up every hobby” friendly one

    That’s true. I was in luck and there was a blacksmith in town who opens his workshop to kids on occasion or travels to job conventions and brought his tools with him. Maybe there are comparable activities/ offers near you, which I can highly recommend. Not only will you not have to worry about tools and materials, most importantly there will be a “teacher” around.

    If you find something and decide to check it out, have fun! :)



  • Blacksmithing is one of the few hobbies that a guy probably can’t teach his girlfriend because women usually use a different technique to make up for strength differences.

    Me, a woman who tried blacksmithing before: Don’t use spring steel or other metals that are hard to manipulate/hammer into shape when starting off. Don’t start with a sword, start with bending and twisting a nail into… whatever. If they like the hobby they’ll stick to it and the muscle will build over time. And if it doesn’t: power tools.



  • immernoch kein gutes Regelverständniss, aber:

    • investiere 2 Mana um auszuspielen.
    • investiere 1 Mana um eine Marke zu erhalten
    • investiere 1 Mana um eine weitere Marke zu erhalten
    • bekomme ein Mana in deiner Farbe des Regenbogens

    investition: 4 Mana Gewinn: 1 Mana

    Sind die dinger iel auch so ineffizient?


  • I am a Linux beginner so i could be wrong, but I believe Linux is very plug and play and has drivers already integrated. At least I don’t remember downloading any when I set it up. I am personally using Linux Mint Cinnamon with a GTX 1060. In Mint there is a Driver Manager preinstalled which let’s you pick a few nvidia drivers and an open source alternative, so it’s very beginner friendly :)

    do I have to use the onboard graphics till i get everything installed?

    To that I can confidentially say no: because I have no onboard graphics and always had video output ^^
