Do these people not ever talk to anyone in real life? How do you arrive at thinking all real humans are Marxists/Leninists?

So eine art Sozialismus, aber National. Deutschland zuerst, aber mit Sozialleistungen für echte Deutsche… Ah, uhm, es riecht ein bisschen… Kacke.

Die Alternativen zu Atomkraft sind nicht wind un PV, sondern Gas und Kohle.

Pretty much. Maybe someone at the 8bitdo HQ got an SD and discovered that the controllers all worked great?

Once everything has been optimized and runs smoothly, there are no surprises anymore, nothing interesting, you just do a routine that you’ve specialized in and have gotten bored at 10 years ago. Our quality of life is unparalleled. Our quality of work less so. It’s safe and all, but so so boring

Rejected from art school, you say?

Here’s a pair of scissors so you can crop your memes: ✂️

Isn’t this a bit much? Smoking is bad, but smokers gotta do it somewhere. Outside seems good to me.

Corrupt government does what corrupt governments do? Shocking.

Don’t you pay income tax in the country where you are resident, regardless of where you work? I don’t understand this. Sounds like a badly thought out deal.

I’m on team dentist here as well. Those things don’t geow back unless you’re 3. Get an electric toothbrush. They’re not that expensive, and don’t make brushing take any more time than otherwise.

I think the kind of plastic used in bottles is one of very few that actually are profitable to recycle. PET, I think. This is actually something recycling companies want. Most other plastic is just burned or shipped somewhere.

If his shows aren’t entertaining why are so many people entertained by them? Makes no sense. People may have no taste, but that’s a different issue.

It’s capitalism in the same way the Soviet Union was communism. No matter the theory, this is how these systems play out when real humans are in charge. That said, humans can clearly do better than the US system. Western Europe is full of counterexamples of semi-capitalism done better.

Yes, but if you have a bit of critical thinking ability you realize there’s a bit more underneath.

The EU? Acting decisively? That’s hopeful.

Eh. Flattery works particularly well on Trump, I believe. So I think Rutte is doing a good job here. It’s sad that it’s necessary and that it works, but I don’t blame Rutte for the election of Trump.

Xbox seems like it may be toast. It’s being rolled into Windows somehow, it seems. The odds are decent that it’s a face-saving exercise and the whole thing is being shut down slowly. Or Microsoft pulls something incredible out of the bag. The Xbox management has to be desperate at this point. We’ll see whether whatever Winbox thing comes out of it sticks to the wall or not.

Exactly this. Isn’t the point of the BBC world service to communicate/propagandise the British view of what’s happening in the world to other countries? Imagine Russia Today adding a paywall? It’s counter to the entire point! I think you may be on to something about this being a concession to Trump.

I applaud your optimism, and I think in theory you’re right. I just don’t think the odds are in the favor of anyone taking your advice.
