Getting real WWI vibes - it’ll be an adventure, we’ll get to go to new and exciting places, it won’t last too long…

No, but I think this is only because I’m the ‘tech guy’ in my family and I’ve had years of helping my grandparents in their misadventures in using Windows, and I know it’s not their fault that they don’t understand, so I’m naturally patient with them

Least anarchic lemming

I studied early soviet history and Lenin was a total nutcase - the USSR was totalitarian from the start. It wasn’t a popular revolution, it was a hostile takeover of a nation

I’ve used ios for a while now and it’s always just worked, but imessage is a bag of shit though. When I used to use android I was always coming across bugs and issues, especially with the settings app, but this is going back about 5-10 years ago now, so it’s probably different now

Oh no, not again

And wow! Hey! What’s this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like … ow … ound … round … ground! That’s it! That’s a good name – ground!

I wonder if it will be friends with me?

I’m so glad I saw this at the cinema - genuinely one of the best films I have seen for a long time

I’m sorry, what?

Doctor Who Gmod… which coincidentally is what I was playing lmao

Hey fellow skin prick lemming!

I think you might be on the wrong instance

This is something I wrestle with sometimes as an engineering student and I think it does vary from country to country. You’ve got to ask yourself how the world would be different without those companies - whether other less friendly countries would come to prominence and whether the removal of the such a deterrence would make wars more common. But on the other hand, you should think about how those weapons are used and whether it’s ‘right’ like the defence of Ukraine, or more objectionable like some of the more polarising conflicts around the world. It’s a very difficult question but personally I don’t think I would work for a weapons company coz I don’t know how I’d feel about making something that is designed to kill people

Your first mistake was thinking large companies care about customers - you’re just an obstacle to your wallet

Personally I like the idea of killing the dragon at the end and adding an alternate ending would probably cheapen that imo

I wonder why he’s cosplaying as the Doctor

I’ve got some pretty major food allergies, so I eat almost exclusively home-cooked meals, and I use the salt shaker quite a lot

Calories are just a unit of energy - what you consume usually matters more than how many calories you consume

They seem alright now, and Necrobutcher was disgusted by Euronymous’ response to Dead’s suicide and left the band over it if I recall correctly

There have been cases where people who have learnt another language get head trauma and fall into a coma, only to wake up having forgotten their first language and only being able to speak their second. But you can’t magically learn a language in a coma
