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

Ukraine Conflict - Beware lest in your anxiety to avoid war you obtain a master
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.

Random/Interesting/Weird
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.

What are you Playing Now? It's not how you play the game, it's how you place the blame
It's cool if you like medieval history.

The All Things Political Topic - Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you
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

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.

Cinema and Movie Thread: I like to remember things my own way.
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.

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.

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.

Ukraine Conflict - Beware lest in your anxiety to avoid war you obtain a master
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.
