INB4 it’s gonna be a repeat of the Wii U. A confusing, non compatible successor to a revolutionary product.

I was wondering if they would ever add it just this week, it’s a welcome addition

I am kind of surprised that so many people noticed the racism metaphor in Dot and Bubble but no-one (including Russell I’m guessing) noticed the uncomfortable AIDS allegory in the last episode, especially with the first queer actor for the Doctor… “While you were having fun around the universe, everywhere and everyone you were with were infected and now they’re going to die”

It’s unfortunate that he’s lived to be 95 and still hasn’t managed to swallow his ego and admit the Bosnian or Cambodian genocides happened. I guess the ideological blindness is just too strong.

I don’t know how you can look at a map clearly showing the aftereffects of decades of communism and blame it on capitalism. Why would east Germany vote fascist due to rampant capitalism but the rest of Germany not do that? I just don’t understand.

Destroying the subsidies that the previous governments had has made inflation worse in the short term but should improve it in the long term. He says this and people believe it, so they’re powering through the bad times awaiting the better times. In a way he’s in his honeymoon period, and some people like him better because he’s actually following through his policies instead of being all talk.

Makes me think of Half-life 2

Solar power in sunny weeks, wind power in overcast weeks and hydro power in rainy weeks means electricity costs in Portugal and Spain have been incredibly low over the last year.

Newspapers here have been running articles saying the way the market works will make further investment and maintenance difficult because power generators are barely being paid. A few weeks ago for a couple of hours the price went negative in the wholesale market, meaning power generators had to pay to generate power.

A friend of mine decided to index his costs to the wholesale market and pays 4c/kWh, while with a normal power plan I’m paying 9-13c/kWh. Meanwhile coal, oil and gas guzzler Germany is paying 4x these prices. At least their geopolitical energy play worked out /s

Evangelion was written by an insane religious fanatic searching pointlessly for a divine reason for choosing to exist. You don’t have to watch it, I release you.

In European Portuguese it’s “Feira da Ladra”, or “Fair of the (female) Thieve”
