Batty:
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Folks eating raw broccoli-

Deckard:
That one was probably a synth.

Batty:
Nope. Bloke was just as organic as you.

[Deckard thinks about this, both of them shudder visibly]

Does anybody happen to know any cool hard sci-fi youtubers who aren't, you know... dudes? I'd like to diversify my subscriptions a bit

Im Nachhinein betrachtet war es vielleicht nicht notwendig, sich gestern so dermaßen den Kittel zu lackieren...

It's like the 70s and 80s all over again, only the music is much worse.

@androcat Talked to a lady who worked for the tax authority here in Norway once. She told me straight away that welfare fraud is such a minor phenomenon that it has zero effect on the welfare budget. She followed that up by saying, "So we need to decide what kind of society we want - one where we're so afraid that someone might get some help they didn't qualify for, at the risk of depriving many others who need that help? Or one where we help folks through tough times and help them become tax payers again?"
A year or two later, I read a study that showed a significant amount of "welfare fraud" cases are folks who genuinely believed they qualified.
The more accessible benefits are, the better for everyone, ultimately.

Lately I've started saying "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your religious feelings" whenever someone gets mad at me for laughing about the concept of an "invisible hand of the market". Do recommend

This is Nidaros cathedral in Trondheim, Norway. It's the burial place of Olav Haraldsson, a national monument, and arguably the spiritual centre of Christian Norway.

Now, the beautiful thing about this building is, nobody has a fucking clue who owns it. The Norwegian state doesn't know. The Norwegian church doesn't know. Trondheim municipality doesn't know. Nobody's claiming it, it's just standing there, being used for church stuff and sometimes state stuff.

@woodbark Travel. Mobility. People have never moved around as much as we do today.

@MordecaiMartin Oh, I assumed that was what you were on about

@MordecaiMartin I'm dead set on translating my works to both English and Norwegian myself (while making use of native speakers with a good grasp of German as consultants and paying them well).

Getting some real voyeuristic pleasure out of watching the performance of the current coalition in Germany, made up of three parties that all hate one another.

Huh, Bucharest has quite impressive public transportation

So I learned about this "polyamory" thing and it's really weird and gross imo.

You can't just mix Greek and Latin like that.

@woodbark Not if we can make them realise what's in it for them

Okay hear me out *puts down bong* if we all start buying copper the price for copper will go up and then more people will be stealing copper and the infrastructure will break down. Boom, civilisation destroyed. Anarchy established. I'm a fucking genius

They made a new Indiana Jones movie? I wonder how that one scores on the Indiana Jones Racism Scale
