CitizenKong,

Short Round instead of Waller-Bridges’ role world have made the movie a lot more organic than “daughter of the best friend Indy has never mentioned”.

CitizenKong,

A friend of mine told me a story once about an intern that was tasked with writing a text. She delivered one page of text and was told to write more. She asked how. She didn’t know that you could write more than one page in Word.

CitizenKong,

The Shopkeeper: By buying this, your innermost thoughts, feelings and desires will be mine, muhahaha!

Me: I think you’ll have to talk to Amazon then, I already signed their user agreement.

CitizenKong,

Wow, a calendar that automatically shortens the description of the month when you’re further away, fancy!

CitizenKong,

Which is a terrible app. I made the mistake of buying a HP printer and that app crashes more than it works (and the printer doesn’t work without it, of course).

CitizenKong,

If by “extroverted” you mean middle management that realized that they are largely superflous without offices.

CitizenKong,

Conservative policies have literally never been effective either socially or economically. They only funnel money from the poor to the rich. That’s it.

CitizenKong,

Flattering angle, professional photographer trying to make him look good, beard hiding signs of aging vs. unflattering angle, paparazzi scum trying to make him look bad, no beard to hide aging.

CitizenKong,

Es ist echt unfassbar, dass wir anhand einer Klimakatastrophe, kollabierender Infrastruktur, massiven Fachkräftemangel, kaum vorhandener Digitalisierung, fast nicht mehr bezahlbaren Wohnraum, Dauerkrise in Pflege wie Erziehung und nicht zu vergessen einem fucking Krieg in Europa jetzt echt wieder über Migranten diskutieren. Geht’s noch?

Was kommt als nächstes aus der verstaubten 90er-Schublade? “Dauerarbeitslose sind nur faul?”

CitizenKong,

Because empathy is socialism apparently.

CitizenKong,

I mean that’s the reason Hobbits in general can withstand the Ring longer than any other race of Middle Earth. They just want a quiet life without any fuss and that’s pretty much the opposite of what the Ring can promise them.

Ring: I can make you rich!

Hobbit: Eh, than my cousins will pester me all day.

Ring: I can make you strong!

Hobbit: What for? I have an ox for that.

Ring: I can make you king of all!

Hobbit: That’s even worse than rich!

Ring: Exasperated sigh

Microsoft documents leak new Bethesda games, including an Oblivion remaster (www.theverge.com)

Remember that these were estimates from more than three years ago and before Microsoft completed its acquisition of ZeniMax in March 2021, so there’s always the chance that some of these plans have changed dramatically or been scrapped entirely. But they may provide an early look at some of the games we can look forward to...

Since the Oblivion and Fallout 3 remasters will be on the Creation Engine, they will probably just be the old games with HD textures more or less. So basically what is already possible with mods.

EDIT: Also, I wonder if the Skyblivion project will finally be finished just to get a cease and desist letter by MS because they do their own remaster of the game.

The Batshit Crazy Story Of The Day Elon Musk Decided To Personally Rip Servers Out Of A Sacramento Data Center (www.techdirt.com)

Back on Christmas Eve of last year there were some reports that Elon Musk was in the process of shutting down Twitter’s Sacramento data center. In that article, a number of ex-Twitter employees wer…

CitizenKong,

This is the same guy who wants to put implants into people’s brains and send them to Mars. Let that sink in.

CitizenKong,

To someone from Europe like me, the US very much feels like a dystopian hellhole whenever I read stories like these. How can a government hate its people so much?

CitizenKong,

First, you take the dinglepop, and you smooth it out with a bunch of schleem. The schleem is then repurposed for later batches.

Then you take the dinglebop and push it through the grumbo, where the fleeb is rubbed against it. It’s important that the fleeb is rubbed, because the fleeb has all of the fleeb juice.

Then a Shlami shows up and he rubs it, and spits on it.

Then you cut the fleeb. There’s several hizzards in the way.

The blaffs rub against the chumbles, and the plubus and grumbo are shaved away.

That leaves you with a regular old plumbus!

CitizenKong,

Währenddessen kostet die Dienstwagensubvention den Bund zwischen 3 bis 5 Mrd. im Jahr Ich würde mal vermuten, diese abzuschaffen würde weniger steuerzahlende Bürger betreffen als das Deutschlandticket. Aber da geht es natürlich auch um fette Benzinschleudern für überwiegend reiche Fahrer.

Fun fact: The grandmother of the current BMW owner Gabriele Quandt was literally Magda Goebbels. No, seriously.

CitizenKong,

As a man, I would say sort of. The movie does not shy away from a very obvious feminist message combined with an unsubtle (hilarious) spoof of toxic masculinity. On the other hand, it’s still a matter of personal taste. I really liked the movie, but I could see how someone would find it a bit too simplistic and formulaic in its story, completely independent from its themes. Not liking female directors in general just because they’re female is complete bullshit though.

CitizenKong,

The Dilbert guy really went off the deep end, didn’t he?

CitizenKong,

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
