I had a dream that I fingered a girl under a table.
I haven't had a sex dream in weeks, or even months.
What bothered me most was how I actually reached her pussy because we sat on opposite sides of the table.

Had a dream I bought Palantir stock for $4000 a share. A data company. Our government is paying them to centralize all data on US citizens. Should probably buy some while I can still afford it.

I had a dream that Putin=Nixon. And I'm literally 20-th century American. Obviously it's not true but Hollywood's Nixon derangement syndrome made me feel that. The magic power of art.
Also had dream that wife has a brother who wants to open a cafe where every dish has milk. From standard dishes like porridge on milk to something strange such as "fern with milk".

Yes, it should. When it's still playable, people will waste their time playing old games instead of buying new games. What you are asking for the publisher to assist people in pirating Software. Typical Russian thinking.

Not sure I understand you. Of course it will, until it ends. The thing is, games should still be playable even after the support ends.

Let's extrapolate this logic a bit, imagine you bought a refrigerator for your house, and after a few years the manufacturer disables it completely, because by still using it and not buying a new model you're costing them profits. That's the reality you're arguing for.

 No.24657

>>24656
Refrigerator is a good example. They used to be fully functional without any support by the manufacturer. Now imagine a smart IOT refrigerator that only works with access to a internet service. Once that would shutdown it wouldn't allow you to change temperature.

There was no reason to bind the change temperature function to a service. It is planned obsolescence and legislation should disallow it.

> There was no reason to bind the change temperature function to a service
Your refrigerator needs connection so that it can synchronize clocks and show the current time. And so that it can pull weather report and quote of the day from our servers. Not even talking about regular security updates. This really marks the new era of refrigeration. Soon we'll stop to understand how could we even refrigerate things without being able to read the quote of the day.

One coworker noted to another that I am not as gung-ho about my job as I used to be. Heard this from the second guy who related their conversation. Told him he was right. I'm burning out. Going through the motions, upholding the standard and expectations I have established for myself but without actually caring. I used to tell them I was fueled by adrenalin and fear of failure. What has changed? I no longer fear failure. What's to fear? I have proven that I can do this job in my sleep.

I also tell people my job is primarily to put up with bullshit. That is grinding on me. Especially after this latest management shake-up. The remaining heads are all jockeying for position, trying to impress. I couldn't care less what the new bosses think. They'll see my work. Acknowledge my competence and eventually get out of the way and let me do my job. Bosses. How many do I even have? Too many.

Long day. I'm tired.

What are you even talking about? Do you think I'm some Merz-fanboy? You can't reasonably expect any politician to give anyone a job, except for civil servants. Theoretically, politicians can disown all business owners and of course, that would be just what I need, getting my stock depot stolen by the government on top of being unemployed, so I can be poor even faster and give everyone a cushy government job. It has been done. The result was shithole countries like the world never has seen.

>I read his previous book Schizoid Man - was kind of an enjoyable Gen Z smorgasbrod of Bret Easton Ellis/Houellebcq/Palanhiuk in the beginning but in the second half the plot got kinda lost and the initially comeplling style got repetitive.
Interesting you say this. On this neonazi literature podcast one guy was complaining that it was boring at the beginning but got very good in the second half.
Anyway, Heil Hyperpop is very close to Schizoid Man (and very short), it has some good ideas and builds traction but it lost me a little on the last pages but I'd recommend it. I think the follow up novel will bring a shift in topic tho, I can see it working a third time but that's the peak, afterwards it would get old.

I've been nabokovmaxxing recently. Did read "Luzhin's defense", then "The gift". Former is OK, good depiction of aspie's life and mind. Latter is epic, it's a book about writing books (according to wikipedia, metafiction), Russian history and literature and as always - emigration. Also watched movie "Despair"(1978) based on his novel. Can't say that I liked it much (just moderately), but became very interested in what's in the original.

Then, inspired by certain Ernstchan's thread I read "The gambler". Very enthralling, couldn't stop reading until the end, but after Nabokov who can spend multiple pages on describing characters and background, here I felt like characters are low-poly 3D models acting on an empty scene. Despite poor graphics, plot and physics were great :D . Well, "The gambler" imitates a diary written by one of the characters, so it's supposed to be like that. I wonder how it's like with other Dostoevsky's books, haven't read them since high school until this point.

Now I'm thinking of reading something simple in English, like Douglas Coupland's "Microserfs". Or one of other edgy books which I liked as a teenager. There was a special series of them, all in orange covers: Hunter Thompson, Burroughs, Chuck Palahniuk.

Currently watching "Ghosts" (GB).

There are actually three different versions - the original bong show, the burger adaptation and now they actually made a kraut one.
GF started watching the american one, which was, besides the current year bullshit, pretty funny, and I have a thing for Rose McIver.
Now we are watching the british version that came first.
It's actually pretty interesting how different the shows are in the way they are shot and the storylines: The original is actually set up in an actual horror movie way, which gives it a parodistic vibe, compared to the american version that is more, let's say, "conventional", in the vein of a regular ensemble sitcom. What you notice though is the higher budget. Some effects in the british version (like when the guy is climbing onto the roof to do something) are laughably bad. However, the jokes that hit hit way better than the american version that always plays it safe (or safe-horny, or safe-edgy, or....).
What I also noticed, or rather realized, was the GB episode where they wake up hungover as fuck after getting right smashed the night before. I don't think they will ever do something like that in the US version.

I haven't seen any episode of the german version yet, and while the ghost cast sounds promising, the ad banner really killed every kind of desire I had - I don't know what it is with german camerawork, and I absolutely despise the typical Netflix look and feel, but something about the way german tv shows are shot is highly unappealing, especially if it's something that *could* be at least remotely atmospheric, even if just in trace amounts. It's ok for Lindenstraße oder Gute Zeiten schlechte Zeiten I guess, but not for something like this. Also, why the FUCK did they also call it "GHOSTS"? It's Germany here. I know, a show (or rather miniseries) called "Geister" already exists, but they could use a subtitle if they wanted, hell, even something silly like "Die total verspukte Erbvilla" would be better. I bet it was again the marketing scum who can't speak proper german anymore's fault.

So far I would say the original show is my favorite, solely on account of laughing louder and because I prefer roit gov'na tohhk to listening to americans (plus, the main girl is a qt3.14 who reminds me of a young Margot Kidder). Also, as usual, the GB show has like 6 Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Naked Lunch was great and of course The Fly.
Those are my two favorites.

Shivers was interesting, i understand if someone doesn't like it but i did. It's about a parasite that jumps from human to human like a STD and turns them into zombie like creatures but they don't eat people, they rape them. Worth a watch.

The Brood: Probably as "normal" as a Cronenberg horror movie can be. Could've been just as well been a Steven King adaption but i liked it alot.

The Dead Zone: An actual Stephen King adaption. Here Christopher Walken can see the future after having an accident.
Both The Dead Zone and the movie Scanners, also from Cronenberg, were made fun of in the same South Park episode. Would recommend.

Videodrome: Great movie, probably my Cronenberg #3 right after Naked Lunch.
