How do you effectively counter serious cognitive dissonance in loved ones? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 11 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Crucial conversations is a major milestone in my life in terms of my communication skills. My partner and I joke about some things being "pre cc" even

And the better version (imo) of that is HAP, human accelerated performance. Also worth a read, a skim, a summery, a video, etc.

I wonder if the spice girls still get along or if that "friendship never ends" thing was just a lie. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

I was hoping this would come up in this thread.

She's stood by him through his sexual harassment allegations (that seem basically undeniably true). Which I find at least interesting, considering he left his first family for the Spice

First of all, what an incredibly detailed and cool post. Thanks for that!

I don't enjoy racing games much (though I actually raced cars and motorcycles for a decade, and then sim raced for a few years), but it's a great reminder to re play wipeout and the old school burnout games.

I will say, on a similarish but different note, I loved Snow runner. It's a "get stuck in the mud" sim with friends. Their recent sequel is.... Weird? Closer to truck Factorio. It's not the same game imo but I appreciate the fresh view

If it has anything to do with sexual assault allegations it's because they're either worse than we thought and they're getting ahead of it, or because they can't spin whatever is gonna come up with it

Or that first set was the tip of the iceberg and they're getting ahead of it?

I mean national parks are a really cool part of the US and worth seeing.

Outside of that, yeah I basically agree.

Idk, i think they're pretty nice. You get a tiny bit of private space and it's bigger than it looks. Also pretty cheap.

No clue the power train or anything. They said 400k Lego pieces to make the 10 cars

Jeg vil gerne øve mig (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hej!

Jeg har boet i København siden 2024 og jeg kan tale en lidt danske. Jeg vil gerne øve mig!

Can anyone recommend video games with at least decent Danish options? I hear the LEGO games are good. Any genre :)

Tak!

Looking for a book I've only heard of, not read (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hi!

Looking for a book that I know very little about. I heard from a Dan Carlin podcast a while ago about some stories compiled into a book. It was about people's memoirs of pre-WWII Germany, like 1920s and 30s, and specifically them trying to and sometime successfully leaving Germany for various other places.

Sorry, I have very few details about it. Any chance someone knows what it is?

Thanks!

US ex pat in Denmark; Roth IRA is poison? (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hi all–

Just had a tax meeting today in Denmark, and the Danish government like a fair few other governments, recognize 401k/trad IRA investments as retirement, but not Roths. This means you have to pay annual tax on the gains for your Roth, that you can't touch until you're 59.5.

This leaves us looking at pulling the money out and eating the tax/penalty. And my questions in case anyone knows are:

  1. is that money income in the US?
  2. is there anything particularly good to do with the money? Beyond the obvious of buying a house (here)
  3. how has no one told us about this in all the posts/threads, financial advisors, etc that Roths are fairly commonly not acknowledged and are absolutely terrible if you plan to leave the US?

Thanks in advance. Sorry for my grumpy tone... I'm certainly grumpy

It's a pretty solid impeding penalty, but I don't think I've ever seen a single place penalty be handed out for that.

Pretty wild and fun mini doc with interviews on some kids stealing Kia and Hyundai cars. A bit sad, as his videos often are.

If you got to start all over .... (sopuli.xyz)
 

We're moving to Denmark from the US soon, and are going to be (of course) selling our 120V setup and buying a whole new one. It's pretty exciting to be able to re-shop for things.

We currently have a Profitec GO and a Eureka Mignon Silencio grinder. I'd say my big want that we don't have is having warm water from the espresso machine easier to dispense (without small grounds in it) to pre warm cups, to make Americanos.

Either way, if you had the opportunity to do it all over again, would you change anything?

Hi all!

We're very excited to move to Denmark soon as lifelong Americans. I have a good job lined up, and we're set on a place to live for a while.

Any advice from people who have done it, looked it up, had friends who have done it, etc? Just in general :)

(not) shipping gaming PCs (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hi Lemmy!

My partner and I are moving from the US to the EU soon. We both have gaming PCs but they're a bit older, so we're thinking it's a great time to sell them, taking the SSDs, and buying new components there to avoid shipping them.

Any suggestions surrounding it? Maybe there's a good way to pay a little and backup the whole SSDs to the cloud?

I know it's not strictly gaming related but it sorta is? Sorry if this is inappropriate for the community

Sprint race pushed back 20 minutes to allow for a short testing session with new track limits. If the sprint data isn't favorable, they will mandate a 3 stop during the race with 20 laps max per tire
