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.

His german dubbed voice is very good, which is why he is very memorable to me. He is instantly recognized everywhere. Probably also helps that I loved his old movies. Postman, Waterworld, Perfect World, etc. Was a huge star back then.

The internet is arguing that russias new offensive has now started. But it's kinda failing. Also apparently the first confirmed Terminator-kill: https://twitter.com/WhereisRussia/status/1623620579646402562

Funny, I remember at least one doctor in germany who secretly gave sodium chloride to the people instead of the vaccine, because he didn't want anyone to take it. I'm actually almost sure it was more, including some some drug stores, but I'm too lazy to look up more details about it now.

Aren't Leopard 1 tanks from, like, the 50s?

Loved the movie, watched it a couple times. Have the 4+ hours special something-something edition. I always hated when the movie ended, because I wanted to know how the story continues.

Question is, imagine Zelenskyy would have fled Ukraine, would Russia have kept him alive or still tried to murder him anyways? If it's the later, then you might as well just stay and fight. It's probably safer in the middle of the military and secret service, than in your little house somewhere in another country.

I always lol about this. As if america has a radical left. Red scare is so omnipresent that people forgot what actually left is. They shouldn't tell them they are responsible (don't know if they do, didn't look into it), but they should explain why and how such events occured. Rightwingers don't want to talk about it at all, since they like having their skeletons remain buried.

And yet here we are, with teachers in Florida cleaning the bookshelves, just in case so they don't lose their job or go to jail. Can this be reverted? Yeah, probably, but for now the damage is done. In multiple ways - it's additional work to (temporarily) get rid of all the books, who is paying for that, who is doing the work? Who is going to vet the books later, how long will this take, etc. etc. Then the psychological damage, additional stress for the teachers for no reason other than spite(??) or to own the libs or whatever bs. It's a big waste of time for everyone involved, and certainly not a good look. On the other hand, america is very big, so people affected could just go to a different place, I guess. That comes with a whole bunch of other problems, though. /Edit: No, and I never said that. Also funny that you are now insulting me. Way to make stuff up, too. I don't have anything against americans at all, I'm merely baffled by the funny laws you guys like so much, the way the rich can fleece the poor, and the way you defend those fascists. Good job anyways, here have a bee. 🐝 /Edit2: What you don't seem to grasp is the importance of america in the world. Things that affect you has a ripple effect and will affect us as well. If things go terribly wrong in america, it's just a matter of time till it arrives on our shores as well, since we are very much globalized now. If that weren't the case, I probably wouldn't care at all, just like I don't care about places like Saudi Arabia (with the exceptions of the terrible human rights issues and so on of course). Personally I see germany as something like the little brother of america for like 30+ years now. We're always a few steps behind. This is good in some areas, and bad in others. Yadda yadda, I'm not in the mood to post a wall of text, I'm probably too uneducated for that anyways. PS: Just to clarify, I do not have any feelings good or bad about you personally at all.
