Ah, thanks, I didn't realize it wasn't a text post.

Turns out the version I have only has Japanese and Russian audio. Both are silent during this scene.

What scene exactly?

As a Dutch guy, I just can't relate. Not that I needed extra reasons not to emigrate to TERF island, but this would definitely be one of them if I did.

Tibetan funerals actually involve feeding you to the birds. Which is not to say 'turning your dead skull into a relic' isn't intended to be disrespectful.

Our goal involves creating a compelling progression path for all of our players. There's a lot of content at launch with even more coming via live service, and we'll continuously adjust our progression mechanics to give players a sense of accomplishment as they explore all of Battlefront 2

Support for victims of genocide, if they are recipients of pell grants and operate a business in a minority neighbourhood for at least two years.

Being able to swim when stationed on a ship sounds way more useful than it actually is. In a 'man overboard' situation, it doesn't help you much, you get fucked by the inertia of a massive ship that can't just turn around and pick you up. By the time they manage to turn around the ship, the real problem is actually finding you. Even if you're an excellent swimmer, your chances of survival are very low.

Wanting to ask a girl out but having to talk to her parents first to get her on the line.

The sad thing is, this isn't even a shocking up-set. The Netherlands has been flirting with right-wing populists ever since the rise of Pim Fortuyn. And PVV was already getting a significant number of seats in previous elections. The balance was now just slightly changed because the neoliberal right in the form of VVD fucked up governing so hard that a fair number of liberal votes that used to go to them ended up getting split between neoliberal center-right (NSC) and neoliberal center-left (GL-PvDA).

In somewhat better news, other chud-adjacent parties (FvD, BBB) also didn't really perform well. Which means any extreme agenda items PVV may have aren't going to survive a coalition.

They should probably try one of those 'inspirational' duty-free pieces of muzak you find under a typical kickstarter marketing campaign. You know what I mean. Handclaps and some dude whistling over sparse piano chords.

This is valid late 90's critique on Windows. In the modern day, it's valid critique on the entire state of computer software. There used to be a time where I could run "ps axuw" on a then modern Unix system and understand exactly what the fuck was going on and what each process was for. These days the nerd-favoured systems are also a big mess of complexity.

I think a lot of older nerds also under-appreciate the position tech has taken in the world in the meantime. Look at it like electricity. When that first popped up, people involved with it knew all the ins-and-outs, they -had- to know all the ins-and-outs. But by the time I grew up, electricity was a done deal. You flip the button, lights go on. Same has happened for the rest of the world with IT. You click the icon, facebook pops up.

Is that before the big monologue on how he's going to build a gamer town where normies are not welcome, and it will be awesome because he watched a lot of Rust base building videos and there's this one bunker base in the shape of a swastika and he'll totally live there and the normies will rue the day they shoved him into a locker?
