@VeroniqueB99 is there a word/term for recontextualizing art like that?

Guys, guys, I have the slight suspicion this Musk guy might be a bit of a garbage human.

Hmm... I was looking into Paranoia again on the off-chance I might play it again soon... and realized that what I thought was slightly outdated (the paranoia about communist traitors without even the slightest understanding of what communism is) is eerily prescient of current right-wing talking points.

Doesn't help that the disturbing belief in the infallibility of the obviously deranged Computer, the jack booted security, the clueless technologists... all feel familiar.

so it turns out Teslas on autopilot will disengage the autopilot when a crash is imminent so the statistics can show "autopilot was not engaged at the time of accident"

this company, man.

@clacke I had banana-rucola pizza in Germany before and it was fine. People don't use bananas in savory cooking enough.

@ArneBab naja, die typischen bayrischen stammtischwähler denen die fähigkeit ein bierfass anzustechen mehr gilt als anderweitige kompetenz.

Also, im generellen mehr als die hälfte des bayrischen elektorats

My old #introduction got lost somewhere

German, he/him, 40s, living in Poland (#lodz). I work in IT and do some geeky computer stuff on the side (#usenet, #uucp, #irc)

My main hobby are #ttrpgs (#osr #dnd, #traveller, #shadowrun) and similar (#minipainting, #boardgames) but I also do writing and reading (#fantasy, #sf) and #cooking

I will be complaining about #kids, #cats, lack of #coffee, and the general state of the world

I do get weirdly obsessed with topics sometimes. But don't we all?

@servelan there is the possibility he meant it as a (still creepy) compliment and not as a rape threat.

But if that's the case he hopefully learned a lesson in thinking before speaking.

@adelinej @kagan @cykonot @servelan hmm, there goes my whole point. Yes, I didn't know this was an actual thing now.

@cykonot @servelan I dunno, more like "if I ever had a choice I'd like to do it with you"

Now I don't know the situation at hand, but I know stupid and horny teenage boys. It just sounds like one of those stupid things they say because they can't even understand how it could be misinterpreted. Teenagers are DUMB, even if they aren't malicious.

On the other hand the guy might just have been an evil little shitnugget, so what do I know?

@kagan @cykonot @servelan I'm just, you know, acting from my own experience of saying and doing stuff I thought was normal or even nice, and having it interpreted in the worst possible way.

I think a lot of people had that experience as teenagers, you know, that stuff you said where even years later you think back and get embarrassed about it?

I just don't wanna jump on the outrage train and call for a kid to be expelled if there's a chance that it might have been just stupidity.

@georgetakei I've been in teams meetings that definitely had some weird time effects going on

This morning on the way to school my son and me watched workers take down the giant beer advertisement that had been gracing the next corner for the last few months. Right now I noticed they replaced it with advertisements for concerts in the local arena. For Dream Theater and Sum 41.

Dream Theater and Sum 41!!

What year is it?!

Dang it's cold today. Sitting at work with a blanket.

Of course it's home office, so maybe I should put on pants instead, but let's not go overboard.

flow charts AND #dnd. it's like bacon and chocolate for statistics nerds.

Good news for fans of the Borderlands movie (if they exist at all): it might not be the worst (recent) failure of a video game adaption for long...

My son got really into Land of the Lost (1974) despite it's atrocious greenscreen effects. At least the claymation is actually decent.
Funnily enough the series shapes up to be much more well-written than I remember from my childhood. I think the German dub I watched it with might have had something to do with that.

I wonder how much it shaped #ttrpg as a hobby, because it came out at exactly the right time, and it has all the proper tropes of a weird scifi-fantasy #dnd game.

@thomasfuchs man this guy is so wholesome I am afraid there's gonna be some dark secret hiding somewhere.

I bet he played dnd in college or something

@BeAware I remember one of my colleagues telling me that twitch was the future and YouTube would be dead in a year, about 5 years ago
