Most well educated young adults who emigrate do so for better wages. Shocker.

EU commission to Canada: “So I’m a huge fan of your work…”

If only there was more senators could do than warn. And yes I’m aware those who actively work on a ban on prediction markets are probably the ones doing the warning but still. There shouldn’t be a headline about prediction markets incentivizing arson but about it being banned. It shouldn’t have come to this in the first place, right?

Yeah only where >95% of people live. And if we can’t get AT LEAST 100% why even try, right?

I despise Afri sugar free. It’s probably the worst Cola I ever had. Fortunately there are tons of better German Cola brands so it’s easy to avoid. Fritz-Kola is definitely the best sugar free option. Sinalco is a very good low budget option. But to each their own. I’m not missing American beverages one bit.

Unfortunately I can’t boycott Pepsi twice because I’m already boycotting US products at the grocery store.

Ah so the price hike is finally here after years of price stability…

What else should he have done? People of course isolate during a pandemic and this isolation made some people very productive. We’ve seen it during the covid pandemic as well.

A shame Japan isn’t real. It’s such an interesting concept.

Except, you know, LotR was had biggest CG battles in movie history up until that point and still ranks pretty high today. They definitely didn’t take the easy route by actually filming a lot of scenes outside while innovating on the CG front dramatically to make huge battles possible the likes of which were deemed nearly impossible at the time, though. There were some large innovations in the Hobbit movies too but they didn’t land. And yeah, too much green screens. They should’ve done it the hard way while still using just as much CG.

Project Hail Mary and not CG-stuffed? WHAT??? So they actually flew to the sun and found an actual rock alien in a huge space ship to film with? Because no, Rocky isn’t an actual puppet in every single scene. It’s mostly CG and so is the bubble around the guy. I despise this type of sensationalism so much because it spits and pisses on the work of dozens, if not hundreds of VFX artists doing heavy lifting to make movie magic happen. I haven’t watched Odyssey but I’ve seen all his other movies and Nolan himself said he’s heavily reliant on VFX in his acceptance speech at the VES awards 2011. This is a bunch of BS.

Whats even to parody at this point?

He’s right. In his own twisted kind of way. Democracy is in the way of the overly rich to take complete control and become dictators. Being a dictator is their ultimate power fantasy of ‘true freedom’.

I agree that Democracy is not compatible with his definition of giving the richest people on earth the freedom to have planar authority. So we must get rid of them to save democracy and our own freedom.

I like that German social media that was targeted at teenagers and young adults (ShülerVZ, StudiVZ, Spickmich, etc.) has been pretty much wiped off the internet when they went offline. It was replaced by Facebook which is pretty grim but at least my generation doesn’t have to live with the shit we wrote online ~20 years ago as angsty teens. Back then you didn’t have scrapers in the capacity we do today so very little from that era survived. And that’s for the best.

Because studio execs don’t care about women and want the super hero fad to continue even when audiences have moved on for the most part. They play it save, by the numbers with spread sheets at hand. The people in charge have no passion for these stories whatsoever because again, they don’t care about women.

I’m no American but we’ve had guys like him in German politics a lot. Their socialism is all lip service. The moment they take office it’s thrown out the window for neoliberal BS. Newsom in particular has proven this in CA already, hasn’t he?

US citizens are far less optimistic about AI than about Donald fucking Trump.

I would bet even careful Arch users don’t sift through every repo they have installed during every system update to make sure nobody tinkered with an older one today. Some may have written elaborate scripts that warn them when for example the owner of a package changed but that’s probably less than 1% of even just older Arch users. If it even exists at all.

I don’t think this is just a growing skill issue. I suspect the main reason this seems to happen more frequently is mere popularity. More popular means there’s more to gain for bad actors.

Saliva makes pudding and jello watery due to enzymes I think. Put a portion in a bowl and the rest back in the fridge for later.

Wait until you see the Trojan sofa in a flashback scene.
