Still better to sink a tanker than to own one.

Sure he does. Because the German “go-home-service” can’t find their ass in a brown paper bag without their big buddies from the US.

Yes, but when I asked an actual Albanian (another co-worker on a slightly adventurous job abroad) about the Albanian language and relations to other European languages in a friendly small talk he got rather angry and weirdly nationalistic. So I decided it might be healthier not to ask silly questions to anyone Albanian (very recommendable for most Balkan things!) and considered the Alban language as probably too dangerous to bother with. Retrospectively, I think he just didn’t want to admit he had no idea. 😅

Came here to say that. I intended to propose an immensely complex language that almost nobody understands and that is unrelated to any other family of languages. My choice was Hungarian or Finnish but Euskadi (aka “Basque”) clearly beats it. I had the privilege to learn some words from Basque coworker years ago when I was living in Spain for a while and I swear it is so utterly alien to anything I’ve heard, that it must be of extraterrestrial origin.

The drone murders didn’t find much sympathy here but thanks to most of our media’s, uh… “transatlantic engagement” the topic didn’t get too much publicity.

Because wars are for the profit of the people, right? The people of Ukraine will be busy for half a century or more paying back the US already.

The actual news is that DW parrots the German governments opinion. Which isn’t really news either. I dare say that the population in Germany has been “somewhat ambivalent” about the benevolence of US foreign politics for quite a while.

SOYLENT GREEN IS MADE FROM PEOPLE!

Who, me?

I haven’t bought a single TV in my whole life and I haven’t missed anything important. Whenever I am somewhere where there’s a TV and I’ve got nothing better to do or I’m just curious I zap through the channels whithout finding anything remotely interesting or entertaining 99% of the time. I really wonder what people want with these ad-infested, annoying trashcans. Aren’t you dumb enough, yet? Try heavy drinking. Preferrably methanol or break fluid…

Reddit is fucking dead, nowadays. You can’t seriously call that “living”. Ok, braindead at least

I’ve been boycotting Amazon since the days when they were an ugly data grabbing bookstore and I’ll happily go on until the end of time.

OTOH, I’ve been using a HP laser printer for years and the last time I spent 40€ for toner was almost two years ago. Just stay away from shitty inksquirters or even shittier “multi-function-devices”. They are customer-rippoff devices without real use, nothing else. Honestly, if you think you need to print colorful, fuzzy pictures that will fade at the first streak of sunlight you probably had it coming.

In other news: rain mostly wet, nights darker than days, state leaders neither honest nor sharpest knives in drawers…

Well, he actually is new to being part of a government…

Wer dauernd lügt, dem traut man nicht. Keiner braucht eine opportunistische Lifestylepartei, die noch schneller umfällt als die SPD und als einzig bleibendes Prinzip den eigenen Machterhalt pflegt. Dazu noch eine kräftige Prise Arroganz, Inkompetenz und Moralapostelei und fertig ist die Partei, die keiner mehr wählt und niemand vernissen wird.

What the hell is a government doing using someone else’s cloud?

Fucking up everything. Thar’s what governments do for a living,

Merz doesn’t give a fuck about anyone but himself, iMO.

Wer hätte das gedacht… und das sind nicht nur die Kampfjets, sondern fast alles was fliegt, navigiert oder kommuniziert. Das ist das Ergebnis jahrzehntelangen Kadavergehorsams.

Ich habe übrigens einen Track zum Soundtrack beigesteuert: “Addict”. Das ist auch einer von den zweien im Trailer, Und wer meint, ich würde angeben, sei (“Phhh!”) darauf hingewiesen. dass ich zumindest von mir behaupten kann, in Cannes gespielt worden zu sein, Jawohl mein Herr, in Cannes!
