The fact Kissinger is still alive is proof that god doesn't exist.

No, the only Bioware games that I liked were Mass Effect 1-3. In fact, I didn't play many other games of them, since they usually don't interest me at all.

No, I suck at this stuff and lack the bigger picture. I just know about a few scenario cases that for sure will ruin your day. Here is the thing.. we fixed our situation with making banks pay out all money again. However, this caused huge inflation over a short time, and money pretty much became worthless again... which was the thing we wanted to get rid of in the first place. We pretty much just made everything worse.

What I find the most funny about the bank crash is that we experienced exactly the same about 10 or so years ago in our online game. We changed the economy system, and at some point something went wrong. Players noticed that something was up and started pulling out their money from the banks. Money was infused into the banks only at a very slow speed, which means we've quickly hit the threshold and banks couldn't pay out money anymore. This triggered a huge panic among players and then everything broke apart. That was a very valuable economic lesson. Banks only work if people have trust in them. Let anything happen that makes lots of people lose trust in them and it's game over.

My main issue with The Last of Us tv show is ...

Just finished The Last of Us. Good season. Curious how they will continue in s2. If they will stick to the game, or change stuff around.

Yeah, after the retreat it'll just keep going in another location. Also, wasn't it said that losing Bakhmut could compromise some other towns in the area (I forgot the names)?

I mean, isn't it kinda Captain Obvious stuff that less elite units are dying in Bakhmut, if russians only send in the street meat? Once retreated, those same forces will still keep coming, just in a different place. That said, we're very likely missing some critical tactical information, so I dunno how much sense it makes to speculate about this. Personally I don't know what to think. From the little bits of information we get here and there, it seems stupid to me to hold out there while being surrounded on 3 sides.

wtf, this guy could have killed so many people with his stupid act.

I mean, they are already rich. They just get richer. If I had put 10k into Rheinmetall at the beginning of the war, I could cash out 20k now... in only a single year. No bank will offer you a deal like that. Now imagine you have the means to play around with 100k... The west certainly did not start this war to make a racket, but still there are lots of people now who are quite happy about it solely because money. Guess I'm just a little sad that I am not one of them. That said, I really wish russia would f-off already.

Jeez, I just saw that the Rheinmetall stock is at 253€ now. 1 year ago I thought 100€ was too late to get into it... Lots of people getting very rich. This is already over 140% increase from before the war started.

"His group, whose name translates in English to Law, Respect, Expertise, blames the European Union for soaring energy prices." How about blaming Russia for attacking Ukraine. "PRO also wants the Czech government to stop taking actions that are intended to reduce misinformation and fake news." Of course, because why would they not. Same old, same old. Tried to find out how many those were exactly, but it seems like every single article only writes about "thousands of czech" and nothing precise.

Just a shame that you can never trust any of those reviews. Watched Doctor Sleep. Good movie. A lot better than I expected it to be.

Imo the site became too big. Every little thing is turned into some trope now, and it has just gotten real tedious. I stopped browsing the site, not because it is a clickhole, but because it's a collection of lists, and I can't be arsed anymore.

I'm quite happy that I feel no hype at all for D4. Very likely will not spend any money nor time on it.

Oh, a new Picard episode is out!

I'm still not sure why exactly russia would do this, though. Just to be able to blame Ukraine later?

Looks like that story is quickly falling apart now. Stuff doesn't add up, it's also suspicious that the boat was returned, not cleaned, and they apparently found explosive residue on a table inside. How convenient. Oh, and apparently that big sailing(?) boat was docked in a harbor with only like 1m of water depth.

Kept watching s3 of Stargate SG-1. I completely forgot that every other planet is covered in canadian forest.

8 1/2 years is pretty crazy. There's murderers who get less time.

I wasn't able to make it through the first season. I just can't with those people, they infuriate me. It's a shame, because some of the episodes are absolutely epic.

I saved this meme a while ago, because I liked it so much.

I don't want to get too deep into this anymore, so I'll try to keep it short. (edit: I failed) Defund the police does not mean abolishment of the police. It's meant to stop militarizing them. They don't need assault rifles and tanks (ok, maybe in the US they do, since everyone and their dog owns an AR-15), that's usually where a smaller group of special police forces exist. Defunding the police means reallocating funds to public serves that actively work on preventing issues from happening in the first place, such as better healthcare, etc. etc. Usually it is cheaper to try to prevent a catastrophe from happening than trying to fix it once it already happened. Look at stuff like Uvalde, where the police budget was like 70% (I actually don't remember the number right now, just know it was very high) of the whole towns resources, and when it came to little kids getting shot to mincemeat, it didn't help anything at all. I don't see how this can be considered a radical left ideology. Not super familiar with the minute-to-minute details of american politics, but I'm almost sure they do not want to have less controlled borders, but stopping stuff that effectively has no impact on anything at all, such as Trumps great wall, which doesn't work and is nothing but a money sink. Again, I don't see how this can be considered a radical left ideology. We have people here in germany who want to have 100% open borders. Those people are idiots, and luckily their voices have no power at all, so again.. they aren't a threat to us right now in 2023. I don't know if the US was founded on racism, but they sure lived it out for 200 years (and still do if you consider prisoners working for cents as pretty much slavery with extra steps). Is it really a radical left ideology to not want to enslave people? Personally I love my capitalism. I like to have money (I'm not poor hurr durr), however, I absolutely hate when unchecked capitalism rolls over innocent people and ruins their lives, such as when penny pinching industries turn the environment into toxic wastelands. I'm not saying we never had left wing terror issues. The RAF in germany was terrible and it was a real crappy time, but it's long gone and not a todays-issue anymore. Now we have to deal with stuff like secret right wing terror groups supported by the local police, who are getting away with murdering people for 20 years and for mysterious reasons it seems to be impossible to get everyone involved into jail.

More like joke much, since I always have to laugh when anyone suggests the USA have an actual left wing that has any saying at all.

Or is it? I don't know about Blaha. Tried to google a bit, but not sure if I found the right stuff.
