At least they’re not pretending that this is anything other than another Holy War on both sides.
The good thing is that none of the alliances on either side have any political need to intervine, due to the religiousness of it.
Russia is looking at Iran and going “who the hell is Allah and why are they fighting for him?” and NATO is “What kind of kind of mess did the Megachurch get into this time, oh well whatever.”
Yeah there’s too much stuff to restore.
Every time anyone wants to do anything new in my city, there’s a choir of old people moaning about the removal of old stuff.
Seriously… if they want to keep that shit, put it in a museum. We don’t need your old railways in the center of the city for memorials. We don’t use them. You don’t use them. They haven’t been used for 70 years. The same kind of shit is present in each and every city throughout Europe. It has no preservation value. We can remember your great grand uncle’s achievement in other ways. Take a photo and look at it as fondly as much as you want.
It’s apparently wildly surprising that humans were all over Europe thousands of years ago. Come on. They had feet, of course they shat in the shrubbery where we live. We do not have to preserve all of it.
I surely don’t hope future generations dig out the shit I’ve posted online.
When they invented LIDAR scanning and flew over Germany, they found a lot of old stuff in the dense forests that had never even been investigated. It was silently decided not to even attempt to dig all that shit out. Good call Germany. We don’t need any more stone axeheads in the museum. They’re not that different, and I don’t care if you can trace your lineage to the man who made it. We’re not keeping that rock.
People should have a right to be forgotten.
Ötzi never asked to be dug up. People made stories about how he died of cold. Other people say it was sacrificial. The latest I’ve read was that he a tumor in the ass.
Have some decency. Leave that shit alone. The wearing of time is prettier than restoration anyway. It’s a solid reminder. Restoration of artifacts is like botox to a 70 years old… you’re gonna look like shit either way.

The only reason this is all over the news is unfortunately not because it’s a despicable crime. Which it is.
However. The story is that: She turned herself in. They were intoxicated by alcohol. She’s hot for 40 year old. She’s “independent, blablabla. both sides”.
No, no, no!
The media is showing this because they want to normalize rape.
There’s something a lot worse that never make the news.
Maybe it’s the drug epidemic, causing this shit to happen on daily basis in the southern states. Maybe it’s people of importance who don’t turn themselves in. Maybe it’s not the alcohol or libido at all.Maybe it’s the …
Maybe it’s in the Epstein files.
Money.
Money up front this time.
We don’t need to. It’s assumed.
You have to consider: Do you actually want to meet a young woman who hangs out in bars, restaurants and airports? Spend all night talking about her Gucci bag from Dubai or some shit?
If those are the options you have, I’d choose the old married lesbian any day.
I had to mention both, because I like them for different reasons.
Initially I didn’t even like Vice City, because it was just an epigon of GTA3 with more lens flare, but the story and not least the music won me over. I know it’s a blatant mockery of Scarface, but that’s what makes it so great and funny.
San Andreas is probably the masterpiece of them all. Maybe it got a little too serious in comparison to previous games, but it managed to portrait a great feeling of freedom and doing whatever in-between the main missions.
GTA V is more like: Follow the arrow through this generic oversized map.
Main exports:
USA to Spain: Petroleum
Spain to USA: Refined Petroleum
Now, I’m sure this is bad business for both parts, but it’s a helluva lot worse practically for USA to be without refined petroleum than it is for Spain not to have petroleum to refine.
Anyway, I’ll make sure to eat double the amount of Spanish tomatoes this week.
I don’t understand why I would want to buy a new computer so their OS can have their AI do that stuff that they want.
Why don’t they just do it themselves then? I never asked for any of that shit.
If you liked Unreal, you will like Sauerbraten.
It’s not just primes.
“I ain’t never said no such thing” - Albert Einstein
GTA V.
I liked all the previous ones, but this was just more of the same on a bigger generic map and a more convulted and stereotypical story. Online never worked for me either. Too buggy.
Vice City and San Andreas were the best of the series.
Map size/design is just more important than size. Same problem in Just Cause.
It’s better to piss in the shower than to shower in the piss.
It’s better to shit in the sink than to sink in the shit.
Of course there are home owners associations in Europe. They’re just not crazy.
Jeans are like that. Width and length. They still doesn’t fit everyone easily.
The issue is that we’re trying to put everyone on a linear scale, but the actual shapes of people have more dimensions. This is done because clothes are produced in advance, to be presented for sale in stores. With more people ordering online, it could be solved by on demand production/tailoring.
This would also solve the issues with excessive production, which is a massive problem for the industry. From this year it’s no longer legal for the largest manufacturers in EU to destroy unsold clothes. It will result in clothes costing more, but perhaps it should. It’s currently too cheap. The single use and discard fast fashion needs to go.
The great thing about representative democracy is that idiots don’t actually vote for anything. They only vote for whom to represent them.
I’ll admit, I’m somewhat of an ignorant idiot myself. I haven’t read nor understood the entirety of all laws. That’s why I choose someone else to represent me.
I think it’s only fair that mentally handicapped people are also allowed to choose someone to speak their case.
The problem in US isn’t the idiots. It’s the two party system. In countries with multiple parties, truly idiotic votes would be scattered randomly all over different parties, or they would be placed on the party that represents idiots the best.
That doesn’t work in US, because you actually only have one political party and then the opposition. It’s really easy for an opposition to trick idiots into voting against everything.
It’s a good starting point. The more people vote, the more people will be angry if the result is stolen.
Apathy is the worst threat against democracy. Especially when one part is cheating.
You’re right. I agree, but also have to believe that we can make a way out of it.
I initially wrote a long rant but regretted, because I think the two of us could spend all night long writing back and forth and I need to sleep more than arguing in agreement online.
Remind me: I’ll buy you a drink if we’re still alive in 5 years.
