Did I reveal something about myself ?
The implication was that it's...accceptable...to be creepy/inappropriate once every decade.
Is that so unreasonale ?
We should try to be better, but let's be realistic....

Well, if someone did something sexually creepy/inappropriate in his first decade, that would be really creepy!
You may have meant "on average."

I don't follow the news, but had heard something a while ago. Drones are a major deal nowdays, so i am not surprised.

German humour is measured to be 35% more effective than the competition. It's also over 50% more reliable in field use. Sure it's more costly but it's superior build quality more than makes up for that.

Just read the flavor text for the Bio-Trophy Species Rights setting in Stellaris. Wondering if said game is, at the moment, a compendium of every science fiction trope under the sun.
Well, yeah. I'm sure they will recycle old Twilight Zone episodes too.

That is, if they haven't already.
Also, I find it funny that the Paradox GSG that features actual Nazis is the tamest when it comes to video game crimes. Galactic Genocide and Castration Simulators are above and beyond. Even Colonization and Liquor Simulators have more disturbing content.

Usually I'm all for anything that helps Greece or which RFs the Turks, but didn't Constantinople fall to the TURKS in 1453? I think the statute of limitations has run.
In the pogroms. And even against the treaty of Lausannes, which prevented any expulsion.
So, if the Lausannes treaty is negated, it is only fair to return to the treaty of Sevres ^_^

What business is it of yours?
When I was at lunch today a woman at the table next to mine got up to leave and she asked me to watch her bag which she left behind. Asking someone to watch your stuff based purely on proximity seems really careless. If I were that kind of person I could have stolen her bag for myself or simply looked the other way if someone came along to snatch it up. Luckily for her I'm not that kind of person but there is no way for her to know that.
That's a perfectly normal thing around here. I've often been asked to watch somebody's purse, backpack, or even their kid for a couple of minutes, if the person has to use the washroom or go to a counter to get the food order that's ready (obviously I'm talking about places like the library or food court at a mall).
I guess people operate on instinct when they ask these favors. If the person they ask seems trustworthy, they'll ask. Or sometimes it is just a matter of your being the most convenient person at hand, but even so there has to be some element of perceiving trustworthiness.
In my case the last time, it was a lady on crutches, who wanted to get a cup of coffee from the lunch kiosk in the library. I was there, waiting for my bus to pick me up, and she asked if I'd mind watching her stuff for a couple of minutes. I said yes, at least until my bus comes. So she got her coffee, my bus came, and the world still turns.
In my case, I'm not so trusting. If I'm at Walmart, for instance, and need to use the washroom, I ask the customer service staff if I could borrow a bit of space behind their counter for a few minutes and leave my stuff there while I used the washroom. They've never said no, and I've never had anything stolen. Of course I don't leave my purse behind, or anything else valuable.

So there's that product on Amazon that costs around 2 Euro when I buy a single copy of it, but 2 copies cost around 16 Euro. 10 copies cost around 70 Euro. The Single-Copy-Item also has a really weird "per unit"-number atteched to it: "(EUR X,XX / count)". Because of these things, my "Arbitrary Speculation" is that the single copies are not actually supposed to cost 2 Euro each.
But they're sold directly from the company that produces these things, so I still ordered 15 single copies for around 30 Euros when actually they should probably have cost ~100 Euros... not sure why that makes me so nervous.
