PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in Can I use Google Play without a Sim card?

Sure, Google Play has nothing to do with your Sim card.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in What prevents you from going to bed early?

If I go to bed early, I have to get up and pee at some point during the night. And since it’s way too cold, I’ll usually lie awake for half and hour before I can actually get myself to leave the bed.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?

Indeed, though Lovecraft has the distinction of being pretty racist even for his time.

PonyOfWar, (edited ) to asklemmy in Do videos like this come across right?

I think the point is more to mock the pseudoscience/history in a skit format, but his comments aren’t especially funny or clever. I’d describe it more as “failed comedy” than “old-perv” vibes but it does seem like he should stick to long-form documentary content.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in whats going on with the 'tankie' thing

Now im not one to nitpick, but I don’t think thats something a commie would do right? I mean capitalists winning is supposed to be worse right? Am I thinking of this correctly? I mean thats one of my questions, like yall hate bigwigs but bigwigs are good when they fight the evil commies?

I’m a Democratic Socialist and I hold the “Democratic” part higher than the “Socialist” bit. A Socialist economy is not worth it, if the price for it is oppression and genocide. Socialism must come from the will of the people, not conquest and murder.

okay now im nitpicking but didn’t you say youd defend a capitalist country against a communist one, but critique when someone else defended a capitalist one?

I’m saying it’s even worse when people calling themselves communist defend not only communist dictatorships, but also capitalist ones. It means they’re just in favor of dictatorships, period. Or they’re just incapable of any critical thinking and defend anything as soon as they see a hammer and sickle.

PonyOfWar, (edited ) to asklemmy in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

A few Motorola and Sony phones as well as the Fairphone still have them as well.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in Dear Lemmings, what is your personal approach to human diet?

I’ve been a vegetarian for about 20 years now. Other than that, I don’t actively restrict my diet as I never got close to being overweight. My main meals are mostly healthy I’d say, but I do probably consume too much sugar.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in People who own typewriters, what is your favorite use for it?

I have a Rheinmetall one from around the 30s that only half-works. It spends most of its days in the attic and only gets brought out to show people once in a while. I used it as a prop for a short film once, so I guess that was my favorite use for it.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in Does anyone have any good suggestions for positive themed communities?

It’s not that active, but I do like !internetisbeautiful.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in Which of your favorite creators content quality went downhill very quickly?

That’s fair enough, though I do think there are a ton of interesting medieval topics he still could have covered. I’m the kind of guy who likes watching multi-hour essays on ancient civilizations though, so I might not be “general audience” and he moved pretty much in the opposite direction of what I like to watch. Finding his second channel was what sealed the deal for me though, couldn’t take him seriously after that.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in Dear Lemmings, what is your personal approach to human diet?

Some typical lunch dishes for me:

  • Curry/vegetable rice
  • Potato casserole with broccoli
  • Jacket potatoes with green sauce
  • Ramen (using Kurata vegan ramen soup stock)
  • Lentil curry
  • Various pasta dishes
  • Spinach lasagna
  • Ratatouille

Coffee and croissant for breakfast, bread with various spreads for dinner.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in What salary do you think would make you happy?

Something like 100k€ would enable me to do all the traveling I want to do and simultaneously save up enough money for a comfortable early retirement. Currently I’m focussing more on having a job that isn’t soul-crushingly stressful and full of overtime though.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in What Kind of Natural Disasters Occur Where You Live? And How Have You Prepared for Them?

Droughts, hurricanes and theoretically earthquakes. Last actually disastrous earthquake was about 700 years ago though, so I dont worry about those. Last huge hurricane was in 1999. I haven’t really prepared against natural disasters in particular, though I do have some food and water stockpiled.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in Does wind power cause visual pollution in your opinion?

No, I like them. They bring some variety to landscapes. Many people here hate them though.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in Is Sync for Android worth the cost?

I’ve initially considered getting the ad-free version, as I did buy it for Reddit Sync, but so far I’m not getting any ads in the free version anyway.
