I’m old, so instead of finding new earworms, I rediscover old ones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD36GsRheEY

Der Trick ist, gedanklich im 19. Jahrhundert stehen zu bleiben. Dann braucht man keine neuen Wörter mehr, um neue Sachverhalte zu beschreiben.

Das ist der Staub, der die Meinung bedeckt, die mit diesem Wisch ausgedrückt wird.

Man fragt sich auch, warum die überhaupt einen Baseballschläger griffbereit haben.

Nazis halt.

Ah, the vestigial nobody. Haven’t seen one of those in a while.

• Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake

Don’t care about the rest, but this one stings a little. Thankfully, the originals are still fun to play.

Always some white guy in the comments going on about how white people doing white people things is not something worth mentioning.

Gotta keep the gasoline flowing. What’s a few deaths if it means that Volkswagen can keep building the same shit nobody wants?

Me too. Especially because the personnel selection for air traffic controller is pretty tight under normal circumstances. You not only have to demonstrate aptitude during training but also social and communication skills, which are super important for this job. I somehow doubt that filling the ranks with gamers is going to accomplish that.

Ach komm. Lochkamera ist auch cool, gerade für Kids, die sowas mal selbst bauen wollen. Ist eben Low-Tech und entsprechend kein riesiges Bild, aber man kann was dabei lernen.

That’s so stupid. If you were a terrorist looking for Trump in hiding, wouldn’t the place with the fast food and diet soda be the first place you look???

Kannst überlegen, dir eine Lochkamera zu bauen. Dann kannst du immerhin indirekt die SoFi anschauen, ohne direkt in die Sonne gucken zu müssen.

Das schließt sich ja auch nicht aus, man kann durchaus inkompetent und niederträchtig sein. Ich finde es sogar plausibel, dass da ein Zusammenhang besteht: Was an Kompetenz fehlt, wird durch Niedertracht kompensiert.

Do they really look as bad as in the picture with Zuck wearing them? I mean, I know they suck for a whole bunch of reasons, but I thought they’d at least look okay…

Do you have any references for this? As far as I know the literature, the debate about “what matters more” is still ongoing with some research arguing in favor of personality and other research in favor of cognitive ability. Regardless of this, the relationship between cognitive ability and various life outcomes seems to be consistently positive, and I am not aware of any convincing evidence to the contrary.

She 100% is. Born here, went to school/university here, and is currently being investigated by the German authorities for incitement of hatred due to some fairly drastic statements she made. She emigrated to the US in 2024 and has filed for political asylum there to avoid prosecution in Germany.

The more news about RFK Jr. I see, the more convinced I am that the brain worm is not only alive and well but possibly in control of what this guy does. I know it sounds stupid, but if brain parasites could hold public office, it would look like this.

The Knicks actually have quite a few celebrity fans who visit games regularly. Jon Stewart, Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Alicia Keys, Michael J Fox, and Adam Sandler are a few I can think of who fit that category. Chalemet is a pretty big sports fan, too, including basketball.

Mine would be: When spending time with introverts, it’s okay to not say anything and just quietly spend time together doing your own respective things.
