I started watching Stargate SG-1 from s3 on again. It still holds up surprisingly well. Feels weird to not know anything about the episodes anymore but at the same time remembering everything again when I see it. Must be 10+ years now since I last saw the show.

Didn't everyone and their dog said this is a false-flag operation and no ukraine forces have been there?

To be honest, can't really say much about those two, but Bild is notoriously bad. German punk band Die Ärzte even wrote in a song about them some years ago, with the famous line: Angst, Hass, Titten und dem Wetterbericht! - fear, hate, boobs, and weather report. That's what the Bild is.

I thought it was a bit boring. That in itself wouldn't be so much a problem.. issue is just that we only have 2 episodes left now for everything else.

German Bild is the same caliber as The Sun and such, so everything written there must be taken with a truckload of salt.

If they can make the world look like that, I'm sold.

Agreed, I can't see how exactly this "destroyed the rings of power" - total clickbait.

They were even less about a year ago. Those movements usually start small and then suddenly there is a problem. Same thing as with the regular right wingers who slow but steadily increase in numbers.

Maybe it survives coz ya'll keep hate watching this garbage and that drives up the statistics.

Now that plan is way more to my liking.

Happy(?) 1 year anniversary, or.. something? That chinese plan is kinda reasonable, can't argue against it, however we all know it's pretty much just fantasy. There are also points that you simply can't avoid - for example let's take point 10 "Stopping unilateral sanctions" and 11 "Keeping industrial and supply chains stable".. yeah, I agree, but if Russia attacks and will not back down, and keeps going against points 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11... then what else are we supposed to do? Bent over, saying, oh well, not much we can do here? Sanctions are probably the best way to force an end, since the alternative would be to send soldiers. Now *that* would be an escalation that really nobody wants.

The Last of Us is way too fast. They are skipping so much stuff, and there are only 3 episodes left. The show could easily do +3 more episodes.

You just have to take a peek at the wiki article to know that sometimes it can be good not to trust your government.

All I know is that the german Kaiser (same as the russian Tzar) is a derivation of Caesar, so for me the Kaesar seems pretty normal and intuitive.

It continues. The only good thing about nutrek:

You mean to tell me that after the terrible STD, and the terrible s1 and s2 of Picard, the new s3 is also bad?! This can't be true! Funny, the only nutrek that I kind of enjoy is the lower decks. I'm probably having way different expectations for it, which is why I'm fine with lots of the stuff they do. On the other hand, the lower decks also has a lot less stupid stuff in the first place.

It's cool if you like medieval history.

Not caused by the strike, but it's the result of neglect with the train/rail network. Instead of maintaining the system, cost are cuts, people are overworked, everything needs to happen fast, etc. etc. the usual thing. The reason for the strike are those issues, which are still being ignored. Meanwhile the company heads pay each other a nice salary, and use the rest of the money for stock buybacks. Such is life, I guess. /Edit: Heh, apparently some track it back to Trump. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-blame-ohio-train-derailment-1781163?amp=1

Aerial photo of Ohio looks like Mordor. I wonder if Biden already regrets having bent over the rail workers the way he did some weeks ago.

Why would he say that anyways. Does he need to brag?

Yeah, I lol'd about that as well. "Near" .. how near? 1m, 1km, 10km?

That train crash in Ohio seems pretty serious. I'm a bit surprised how little it is being talked about.

Imagine someone makes a tv show based on a video game and it is actually good. That's The Last of Us. Really hate having to wait a week between each episode. Probably would sit through the whole night if I were able to.

I guess it's some sort of balancing-out? If the west doesn't fund them, someone else will, so we try to out-fund them? No clue if that's what is going on, but would make sense to me.
