The text makes sense, so it’s unlikely that it’s AI.

Gooning:

masturbation so intense that it becomes a state of meditation that consumes you and provides endless pleasure

Motherfucker.

What’s a boomer shooter?

With modern LED lights I read that it might be better to just keep them on because heat cycling reduces their lifespan, forcing you to replace them and thus costing more money than the electricity would cost.

Oh yes. I do the same. And I often fantasize about telling these dicks that their turn signals are broken.

Katherine Long sounds great. Her second attack, with fake board meeting notes is so dedicated.

Same here. I have used everything on this list at least once.

The richest third world country.

10.000 Euro per month? WTF kinda money do you make that you can afford to just pass that much on?

Tied down, eyes fixed open like in Clockwork Orange? I named that setup the appreciation chair.

Back when I was at uni I had a fellow student from England who complained about the formal you in German. It took him to start learning Japanese to realize it’s really not that bad. In German it used to be that you say Sie to any adult-looking person until you both agreed to use du. At work this is a lot more relaxed now with entire companies stating everybody used du. Makes it much easier and nicer, in my opinion.

I hope you understand one day that people have been making up stories for entertainment since the dawn of human history.

I heard about people using multiple used 3090s in a single motherboard for this. Apparently it delivers a lot of bang for the buck, as compared to a single card with loads of VRAM.

It’s Walter Cronkite reporting on Kennedy’s assassination. I’m not American, but I’ve seen it often enough now to know this.

Challenger and Chernobyl, as they happened within a few months.The shape of the Challenger cloud will be forever seered into my brain. And after Chernobyl we had to seek cover immediately when it started to rain and weren’t allowed to play on grass, I’ll always remember that sense of unease. We also had two young kids from the Ukraine in our home for a while. Thinking back on that I feel so bad for them. They were so far from home and communication only worked through a paper dictionary. They didn’t shower for a while because they were told water was very expensive. Somehow their hovercraft was full of eels.

Well… I think that point could be argued. Both the EU charter and the German constitution say right at the start in article 1 that “Human dignity is inviolable”. I’d say that giving your kid some dumbass name violates their dignity. So it is very much a legal right.

So many people don’t understand that children are people and people have rights. You are responsible for your children, you don’t own them. If you don’t like that, simply don’t have kids.

Exactly. I don’t know why anybody is surprised about this shit. They literally wrote down what they’d do once they came back into power. Project 2025 is their Mein Kampf.

My daughter got into anime through friends and I got some street creds by talking about how things used to be. Buying laserdiscs in Japan, subbing them and showing them at conventions. I subbed two episodes of some show I don’t remember. Or shipping VHS tapes across continents. My daughter doesn’t care, of course. But her friends were impressed. I fear that that was my last hurrah, though. I got nothing else.
