Einmal gehört, dass die Drehbücher so geschrieben sind, dass auch Secondscreener alle drei Minuten an den aktuellen Plot erinnert werden, kann ich das nicht mehr ausblenden. Es ist so unglaublich unsexy, ich will da nie wieder was gucken.

A seven year old iPhone I got very cheap.

I hope by “CDs” you mean CDs bought directly from the artists.

They don’t work so you can play (pirated) games, they work because building a near-complete emulator is demanding and satisfying work.

Vorneweg, auch Nepobabys brauchen Skill. Aber geboren in NYC und aufgewachsen in Zürich „… in a household where her mother managed a vocal studio“ klingt nach nem ziemlich Headstart in Sachen Asche und Vitamin B. Da investier ich meine Ressourcen lieber in Künstlerinnen, die es schwerer haben.

It mattered to Musk that there are Black communities to fuck with, so why not mention that.

Du kannst sie nicht leiden, weil sie eine Lesbe ist
Ich kann sie nicht leiden, weil sie ein Nepobaby ist
Wir sind nicht gleich

That’s not what they meant when they said that AIs can be a powerful tool for doctors.

I guess not, but he also didn’t start talking semantics. Also, bad teeth have usually financial reasons if dental care isn’t part of the healthcare package.

A few federal traits does not make a federation. My federal government in Berlin impacts me on a daily basis, and it may overrule state or communal governments. My state shares a common constitution with the other states and leaves a bunch of tasks completely on a federal level; they could not function on their own.

The institutions in Brussels on the other hand do not impact me much, mostly because they relate to specific areas like trade or environment. Member states retain a very high degree of sovereignty, so much that the EU constitutes a unique, supranational construct. Non-members like Switzerland or Norway can productively co-exist with treaties, a bureaucratic hurdle the UK has to face now, too.

This blimey limey has been told by rat catchers that Brussels has far more power than it really has. I mean we weren’t allowed to call jam products marmelade because of the brits (this has been reversed yay). That’s the level of impact for the average Joe and Jane.

Like the OP I answered to who suggested to not pay money for games instead? I was making fun of their „principles“.

this won’t buy anyone a yacht, though

Thanks, was looking for something like this! But does “NTSC-J versions of …” means it’s Japanese?

“Drauf geschissen” würde ich jetzt nicht sagen. Oma Erna hat vielleicht nicht mehr die mentalen Kapazitäten dafür, und das kann nicht nur der Oma so gehen, sondern auch einer lernbehinderten Teenagerin oder einem Nicht-Muttersprachler. Die Lösung dafür wiederum sind nicht analoge Pedants, sondern soziale Arbeit. Aber das passiert ja auch nicht von allein.

But you obviously don’t understand what a federation is (hint: the EU ain’t one).

Wenn man sowas zu laut sagt, ist man plötzlich ein Ewiggestriger und Fortschritsverweigerer.

I think tropical fruits are one of these goods we really shouldn’t burn oil in container ships for.

Your principle should be to not generate any kind of demand, not even cultural, and not play their games at all. Otherwise, you’re just cherrypicking for comfort.

All hardware vendors that use DDR RAM increase their prices for obvious reasons.
