- Comment on Rick and Morty | Season 8 Official Trailer | adult swim 1 day ago:
I was a big fan back in the day, but this trailer does nothing for me.
- Comment on The Roman Way to Trash a Republic | When you’re the emperor Augustus, they let you do it. 1 week ago:
The US went straight for Nero it seems.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
The Trump administration had made it abundantly clear that foreigners have no rights in the US anymore, and increasingly American citizens don’t either. Enter at your own risk.
- Comment on The Ghost in the Shell (2026, dir Moko-chan) 1 week ago:
GitS was the seminal manga of my formative years. We had many good and some not so great adoptions over the years, but I am pretty excited for this version. It looks quite close to the manga which is, imho, the best rendition of the concept.

The fascism was within you the whole time.

For some of them, they’re worth it.

I’m dancing happily into the €20 game era with my Steam Deck.

I’ve seen worse.
- Comment on The Naked Gun | Official Teaser Trailer (2025 Movie) - Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson 2 weeks ago:
This is hands down the best scene of the whole series. I come back to it every so often.
- Comment on The Naked Gun | Official Teaser Trailer (2025 Movie) - Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson 2 weeks ago:
It looked better than expected, I’m still cautious, though.
- Comment on The Naked Gun | Official Teaser Trailer (2025 Movie) - Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson 2 weeks ago:
Of course, didn’t think of that.

None of the charm of the original — pass.

This looks surprisingly entertaining.
- Comment on Preparing for the new America 3 weeks ago:
Consider the type of person that thrives in a fascist society. If you are not that type of person, you will wither. There is no middle ground.
Do you believe the US can still be pulled back from the brink? Stay and fight for it. If you don’t, leave while it’s still easy.
- Comment on I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave? 3 weeks ago:
Sag zum Abschied leise “Servus”.

Please tell me this is a joke.
- Comment on How exactly are people lighting Teslas on fire? 4 weeks ago:
There are German (of course) Youtube channels that do deep analysis of Tesla build quality. They have improved to “mostly passable” but still quite cheap wherever possible.
- Comment on Depart, men of education. 4 weeks ago:
Why would the US need scientists when they have stable geniuses?
- Comment on How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration? 4 weeks ago:
This is the correct answer.
- Comment on Google is replacing Google Assistant with Gemini | TechCrunch 5 weeks ago:
Every couple of years I try out the latest “assistant”. I ask very simple queries, stzff that you might expect it to be able to handle. It always disappoints hilariously.
Questions where previous assistants consistently and utterly failed: “What’s the weather going to be like today?” “I want to go to [address], using public transport, can you tell me which routes I have to take?” “What are my appointments today?”
You’d think these are pretty obvious use-cases, but every iteration of assistants was completely incapable of getting even closer to a satisfying answer. I don’t expect LLMs to fare better this time around.
- Comment on Opinion | It Isn’t Just Trump. America’s Whole Reputation Is Shot. 5 weeks ago:
This is a well written piece full of astute observations. I have a problem with one point, though:
The new civilizational struggle is between hard and soft*.* Don’t overthink this. Trump is not playing four-dimensional chess and trying to pry Russia from its alliance with China. American foreign policy is now oriented to whatever gets Trump’s hormones surging. He has a lifelong thing for manly virility. In the MAGA mind, Vladimir Putin codes as hard; Western Europe codes as soft. Elon Musk codes as hard; U.S.A.I.D. codes as soft. WWE is hard; universities are soft. Struggles for dominance are hard; alliances are soft.
It’s not the difference between “hard” and “soft” that matters here, it’s the difference between “simple” and “complex”. Trump, in every conceivable way, is a simple man, and his followers find that one of his most attractive traits. He, like them, neither understands nor accepts complexity and that informs his world-view and actions.

This is fantastic! I played the multilayer mod back in the day and it was always a blast.
- Comment on Welcome, new users! 1 month ago:
Monthly amount is the way to go! I chip in a whole fiver over at feddit.org each month, because that’s easily worth it. You get what you pay for, after all.
- Comment on After Poland spat, Musk vows Ukraine can keep Starlink 1 month ago:
“To be extremely clear, no matter how much I disagree with the Ukraine policy, Starlink will never turn off its terminals,” Musk wrote.
Why did you mention it then?
- Comment on Every morning when I read the latest news 1 month ago:
It is and it’s a great movie. Probably the best movie about ai.
- Comment on Are Autocracies more powerful than Democracies? 1 month ago:
Quite the opposite. Due to systemic corruption autocracies are economically highly inefficient with low productivity across the board with all kinds of long term effects this brings. And while it might look bad for democracies at the moment, I think many of the current crop of autocracies will be short lived. In the end, economy is where it’s at, and autocracies are horrible at it.
