Wait overmorrow is correct English? We have "morgen" and "overmorgen" in Dutch which is tomorrow and overmorrow respectively, so I always missed an overmorrow in English. Is it actually commonly understood or will people look at me like I'm a weird foreigner when I use it?

Uhhhh, en wat doe ja dan na het in tweeën snijden? Uitlepelen?

Blijkbaar Sinaasappels pellen. Misschien zijn het gewoon de sinaasappels die ik heb, maar het voelt niet prettig. Nagellak niet kapot willen maken (of in m'n eten willen hebben) helpt hierbij zeker niet.

Idk, it doesn't really bother me. I've never been a picky eater. I used to just buy microwave meals basically every day, maybe cooking some simple pasta in the weekend. But I've become a bit more health minded and since I'd basically eat everything anyway I might as well throw some simple stuff together with a lot of vegetables and as little processed food and added sugar as possible.

I cook for multiple days, so the same as yesterday and the day before. I was lazy so I bought some pre-cut vegetables (like 800 grams), some vegan chicken replacement, and a red pepper, cooked some rice and added soy sause and some spices. It turned out very nice, apart from the red pepper which is a bit too spicy for my very Dutch tastebuds. Eating this is like russian roulette, every bite will either be very nice or will put my mouth on fire.

Forgot the number, but one of the most common Logitech ones. Right now I'm not even getting past the first hurdle though, which is getting Assetto Corsa with Content Manager and mods to start. I spent a few hours on it and then decided that I had better things to do with my time

Both. I'd prefer Linux because it respects me as a user, but unfortunately too much stuff constantly breaks to fully convert. The moment I can play Assetto Corsa with all my mods using my wheel in VR I'll consider fully switching. Many other games already work though, so I'm slowly converting to using Linux as my default and Windows as the exception instead of the other way around.

(I use Arch btw)

Exactly. I used to think like this when younger, but I now see how stupid this mentality is. Basically anything we care about as humans is "non-productive". Music, art, video games, musicals, movies, sports, etc. just because I don't care about something doesn't mean that it's not important to someone else.

Not really. It's just as irrational. Why destroy something because you lost a video game? I've been frustrated before due to a game, but never anywhere near frustrated enough to destroy something that I paid a lot of money for and am very happy with. At most I'll slap my desk or something, but that's nowhere near hard enough to have any effect.

I think it'd because the Trackmania arcade mode doesn't really let you affect anyone else. Everyone in the server is obviously trying to go as fast as possible,and to a degree also get as high up on the session leaderboard as possible, but you can't ruin each others laps. And while finishing high on the session leaderboard is nice, the overall goal for everyone is to get a good enough time on the map in general. To beat your own PB, to get all medals. So essentially the real opponent is your past self. This leads people to get quite cooperative. Having discussions about how to tackle certain parts of the track, congretulating each other with setting a new PB, etc.

Playing against random people and especially with random people in other competitive games seems to generally get toxic. People blaming you for ruining their game, people getting mad. To me it's very stressful. Even if I know that it shouldn't affect me, and I'm never going to meet them again, it still does affect me negatively
