German, English, a tiny bit of French since I had that in school but forgot most of it. And a bunch of computer programming languages.

Maybe steal a commercial airplane and go on a joyride. Do a barrel roll like the one guy did in 2018. Then empty my bank account or somehow aquire some money to get a few escorts and hookers and whoever wants to join, have a nice dinner and spend the night together. I suppose a nice swinger club with a good buffet will also do.

There are very few countries where torrenting is safe. Generally speaking: No. You can try file hosters or other platforms, or share a VPN with a friend or use services similar to a VPN. AFAIK there is not alternative that's as fast and convenient as Torrent, though.

Idk. There have been some sites recommending the alternative to a subreddit. I scrolled through that. And put keywords for my interests into the search bar. Occasionally I spend some minutes scrolling through the 'All' feed and subscribing. Or when somebody links a crosspost. Over time I've also unsubscribed from lemmy.ml communities because I don't agree with their moderation practices. Found alternatives to that. And I've unsubscribed from most of the news communities, because reading about world politics is weighing me down and this place (Lemmy) is a lot about discussing the news.

I'm subscribed to roughly 100 communities now. Some of them are duplicates or a wasteland, that's just how it is. But I like that this way, my feed is somehow tailored to my interests. And there is no doom-scrolling any more, which I like too.

I just watch subscribed communities. To me that's just too much noise. So I haven't blocked any.

Uh. I'm always depressed after reading the news. And loose faith in humanity. I'm far better off meeting neighbors and realizing there are actually lots of nice people around. Or partying with family. Or reading a good book or working on my projects. Sometimes I get (politically) active in my neighbourhood.

I also have the urge to follow the news and politics. But in the end I don't get anything out of it. And it doesn't provide me with anything lasting for me. So I try to balance that... And national politics isn't all there is. If you don't like that show (and I think it's more a show than anything else), you could also learn about European politics, or what's going on in Korea (for example). I think that's going to provide you with a broader perspective on the world, than just watching something that's supposed to be a show to stir up emotions.

Sry, I think the innuendo got lost here. I was more holding up a mirror to their double-speak and trying to point out that if you really liked those goals, you'd take a different route. The conclusions these people jumped to, contradict each other and what they're supposedly achieving.

I think if they were for families and liberty, they'd do roughly what I said... Making me think that's not what it's about. For me they don't need to come up with wrong reasons to justify it. They could just say 'we hate people and freedom' and at least that'd be honest and free of contradictions.

Roughly C, C++, Python, Java... But not all of them on an expert level.

Aren't HTML and XML markup languages and not turing complete? So they don't qualify as programming languages, because you can't program in them?
