No words.

Come to think of it maybe 3 sentences:

Burn the heretic. Kill the mutant. Purge the unclean.

Clancy Brown was way more impactfull then Lambert.

The amount of Highlander quotes you still hear to this day are mostly those of The kurgan.

Connery and Brown carried that movie. Lambert just went along for the ride.

Remember our agreement, Murdoch. The boy… Is mine.

The way how Clancy just spits out these one liners, in that growling voice. It’s bloody fantastic. Cavill as mcloud is good and all, but it’s all about who they cast for the Kurgan and Ramirez. And that they don’t fuck the story up too much.

Hi. I’m candy. *Of course you are… *

That device costs thousands of dollars. The os license fee is around 35-50. It barely even registers in the grand total. Add to that the well known MS management and reporting tools and everybody choses the MS variant. They know it, they can use it and the store staff can even do first line support themselves lowering the tco even more.

That’s it.

Edit:typos

Yeah, you seem a lot smarter. Good for you.

Sigh.

Nazism isn’t the same as fascism. Nazism does care about your ethnicity. Fascism does not.

But whatever.

Just watch that xkcd graphic my dude. Somebody else already linked it. It makes the issue very clear and is quite scientifically based.

Yes, everything you said is factually true. That doesn’t mean your interpreting it all correctly. We not just accelerated it, we where strolling along the path of planetary heating and then decided to step aboard the Starship Enterprise and screamed: “MR SULU WARP FACTOR NINE, STAT!”

We’re fucking with systems (planetary weather patterns) we can’t comprehend. And to solve it we again fuck with that system but now not by adding energy (heat) but by removing energy from it (wind, radiation)

I think both will have issues. But for now removing lots and lots of energy from the system will greatly benefit us.

In the end it will always come down to population control or going interplanetary as a species.

More people on this planet, in this system will always mean more heat. Remove the excess from the system and it will find its equilibrium again.

But… Removing the excess sounds nice but isn’t. Especially when you are deemed to be the excessive one.

You want to know where global warming can lead to? Look no further then Venus.

Im just a tad disappointed that according to this graphic fascism (which isnt exactly the same as nazism but whatever) is strictly a white issue.

Which, if you look at the world, clearly isn’t the case. Fascism is everywhere.

On places likw g2a.com steam accounts are sold all the time.

The worse they can do is ban the account. Just give it away if you want.

Hahaha, great one.

Great substantiation. Thanks for that clear insight.

When i was young we had glass bottles for everything.

Thank god for PET bottles.

PET is just as easily recyclable as glass and it doesnt break when the bottle falls or explode during temperature swings. Next to that its weighs not even 10% of a glass bottle thus saving a lot of transportation costs. Creating a PET bottle costs a fraction of a glass bottle. Nobody ever died because of a cut vein by a PET bottle. Glass on the other hand…

PET is way better for the environment then glass ever will be.

I lived in the 70s/80s as a kid and there are very good reasons why we stopped with glass. Glass bottles for pop sucked ass, big times.

And the recycle money scheme also works on PET bottles. I know that also for a fact. Why? I live in the EU. We’re doing that for like… Forever.

In the end its not the companies who just jug it onto the roadside or dont recycle shit. It’s us. We’re the assholes. We find it too hard to put something in the right bin. We find it too hard having 4 bins at home for recycling. We find it too hard to just keep our waste with us in the car. Its nasty. Just open the window and throw it out.

Putting everything in glass will solve nothing. Then, instead of forever plastic we’re left with forever glass. People are lazy assholes. Accept it and start work on that, not the symptoms.

And maybe… Maybe Carlin was right about plastic. (if you dont know what im talking about, which I cannot believe, search “carlin earth plastic” on YouTube. And choose the longest one for the entire sketch)

WTF, mate?

Scary. That’s what I think of the US healthcare.

The other side of the spectrum is that in the US, anything goes. If you got the money any and all treatment is possible.

Overhere that’s not the case. Some medicine and/or treatments are deemed way to expensive or unproven and are unavailable.

That man is a threat to the US, not Europe. We will be fine without US influence. We will make new friends. The US will be fucked and on its way to another civil war.

Yikes.

I think it all revolves around your alcohol abuse. Starting the day with wodka is never a good idea. And you being 18 at the time does not make it better.

Realism should tell you that not your person made her do this but your addiction/alcohol abuse and your depression.

You probably said some things due to that combination which were awkward or maybe even scary. Or, which is also a thing, your “state” made her anxious and a little bit scared. Quite possibly both. You said strange things and she thought you scarey looking.

So far so good. I can rationalise that all since im no part of it all.

Now comes the assholes part: your school, everyone there , were assholes for making you sign that. It was stupid, it was kicking someone when their down. You needed help, not restrictions.

You needed a talk, no “contract”. Like: Yo, this girl is a little bit scared of you and prefers not to talk to you anymore. She is afraid to tell you this in person so I’m doing my job as a school official. So back off from her and frankly: you need help. Lets talk about that. Etc.

That’s what shouldve happened.

That would be brutal but honest and such is life.

This? This was the easy way out.

Continue existing? Of course. Living is learning and you learned from this since you’ve sobered up. You’re great for accomplishing that. A lot of people can’t do that!

Healthy relationship: start with “just” relationships. Find out what interest you and get together with other like minded people. Just be you but always be clean and neat. People tend to stick with the first impression they get of someone. Being, what’s the English word, groomed? Is a big part of that. Healthy will come, just you wait. :)

No longer a threat: here you go, this is probably what freaked her out. Be honest to yourself. Don’t sugarcoat it. You can’t heal if you’re not real (to yourself).

How, why: she was scared, plain and simple. She didn’t dare to tell you no because she was afraid of what might happen. Account it to “shit happens”, learn from it and move on. Moving on from a crush is hard, yes. But you must. It’s been 6 years. A lot has happened in that time, no?

Hate yourself : wtf dude? Here you are, changing, sober , in therapy… You matter! You deserve to exist!! There is so much more to experience, some good, some bad. Both are needed for a balanced life and worldview.

Some days will be bad, some days will be good. Most days are in between :). Every experience is worthwhile. Every moment only happens once. Be there to experience it, however banal it is. Life is such a short stint in eternity. It’s a strange, rare gift in this universe and because of that worthy of experiencing. Because there comes a moment you won’t.

Its like they say in GoT: what do we say to the god of death? not today.

Name one company which does. There aren’t. Every corporation is big, cumbersome and full of people who make mistakes and don’t follow procedures.

In other news, water is wet. I only see FUD here.

Hold up, hold up. “on linux such a thing doesnt exist” is a very bold statement for something containing millions of lines of code.

There where and will be more then enough zero days in Linux, be it because of malice or incompetence.

Open source doesn’t say anything about the quality of the code.

Ever heard of log4j? Open source code…

If you watch, binge, all seasons se08 becomes more logical. There are small markers all over the series predicting it all. I didn’t pickup those at first (weekly) watch.

I say more logical, not logical.

Se01-se06 are still TV magic. Se07 (dany’s attack on the lannister convoy comes to mind) still is good and se08 just speed runs everything.

I still think that was their only true mistake: speed running the season. It gave us everything we wanted. But in such a way nobody could enjoy it all. Jaime finally becoming true good only to return to his true love? (some very powerful acting there) Check. The long night? Check. End of the night king? Check. Ice dragon? Check. Arya voyage finally given meaning? Check. Jorahs redemption? Check. Cleganebowl? Check. Cersei dies? Check. Return of the mad king queen? Check. Theon’s redemption? Check. Destruction of kings landing? Check. Etc etc etc. It ticks all the boxes and more you didn’t even know they existed. It’s just that it ticks them in such an insane speed which results in gaps in the storytelling. Gaps of which some are filled if you binge it all but most will not.

Se08 had to be 2 seasons. Season 8, ending with the long night, se09, the fall of the red keep.

Yes, the 2nd dragon had to die for the sake of the story. Missandei had to die to cement Cersei being the baddest cruel removed and complete dany’s arc to insanity. But like this? That was stuff for an entire episode. Not the final three minutes of one.

Brad suffered extremely for his wrath. As did spaceys character. (who was wrath all along in this movie.)

With envy you’re right. Never thought of that. But the whats in the box scene is so very powerful I kinda never noticed. It is powerfully acted, directed, shot. It cemented the career of everyone who was involved, right there.
