I hate dilbert. FCK techbroes gn8 nerd pride.

For the next few weeks The Weekly Album Stream will be moved to Sunday.
The time should remain the same. If someone is interested in moving it an hour in one or the other direction let me know and i see what i can do.

This weeks winner is "The Koffin Kats - Our Way And The Highway"
Good Album.

Next weeks poll:

Like always we start at 17:00UTC, which is in 45min from now.

In Germany, there is an immense problem with sexual harassment at public pools. The perpetrators: fat ginger women with angry faces. Their victims: dark-skinned one-legged boys who for some reason go swimming without taking off their prosthetics.

If you see any fat ginger women groping boys, tell the staff 'Tiki'!

Sickening to see how antisemitism is still alive in Germany.

>>25146
Who ever Greenlight es this was clearly not well-trained. While they avoided re-inforcing contemporary racist clichés of 'horny' non-white men, they fell back on using antisemitic tropes, and at the same time took away victimhood from women. The artwork clearly shows an nearly ironic role-reversal of gendered violence.

Here's the correct way of running such campaigns.

#metoo

>>25147
Clearly Insufficient. While the dark-skinned girl is the victim and the light-skinned man is the perpetrator as dogma demands, there is no representation of disabled persons, no representation of plus-sized persons, and no representation of lgbtq+ persons.

>(Me sending out spam calls and emails.)
Why don't you go work in some really bad slaughterhouse, or club baby seals or work in human trafficking?
That would be less morally depraved.

Are you vegan or something?

> Sending out spam
I quite enjoy the spam emails I get from a Hungarian software vendor. They usually are immensely elaborate versions of 'NAV will be on holiday on August 1st' or 'buy ten thousand E-invoices, now 10 Ft cheaper'. I'm betting on 'happy St. Stephen's day' in 1.5 weeks. (Yep, summer almost over.)

If your Emails are like that, they probably won't do anything to increase sales, but they offer the possibility to sneak in a break pretending to read an important email, could be announcing important update, must study in detail, which increases customer satisfaction.

It's like 40 degrees. I went out to read some but in the end I think I napped more than I read. Still, made some progress.
Same with my latest translation project. I think I found a good metric to actually measure progress and I think this frame of reference will help a lot with work in the future.

>>25137
The kosher slaughterhouses in my vicinity are not hiring :(

Finished the OOM-9 campaign in SWGB.
That's the Trade Federation one.
It was actually pretty interesting, because it was, as mentioned in the first post, an actual invasion playing out. Killing their defenses, subjugating the Naboo and after finding out there are Gungans on that planet, them too.
The last mission had me destroy a city under the sea.
The surface fighting was not hard, just a bit annoying because I had to carry troops around with airships and land them on foreign shores.

That was because I found no place to build shipyards. In fact, only after I realized the city under the sea was indeed entirely submerged I began wondering if I were doing something wrong or if the mission could be bugged.
I looked it up and apparently in the expansion there is like one very specific place to build a shipyard on the spot where an old enemy one stood. Still took me some clicking around to find it.
Then it was all a matter to send a bunch of ships to the palace to destroy it (picture this time taken from my own play, but loaded a save before I had built a proper fleet).

There's now a bonus mission that is apparently the battle on the Windows XP screen. Not sure if I want to play that.

>>25085
which difficulty are you playing on? I'm playing on major general for the Rebel Campaign. shit's harder than a squirrel's nutsack but it's satisfying to get a win

Making fat stacks of Orens by fishing, sawing the catch into fragrant bonito flakes and aging them into the best bonito wine south of North Tiris, while a strategic bonito reserve is being built for possible larger expenditures and better profits in the future.
That the stuff is great food flavoring is just the cherry on top.
The farm is also slowly scaling in size and quality.
The game really manages to make grind feel like time well spent.

Finally my big tiddy fox mommy goddessfriend Horome of the moonshadow even trusted her equally foxy shrine maiden ally upon me.
She starts out rather weak, but can grow additional tails while leveling that all boost her speed and other stats, making her into a flurry of blades later.
2 or 3 followers worship Mani of the machine, he provides them with the ability to randomly hack mechanical enemies, turning them into pets.
Right now we're rocking a 4 golem gunners firing squad, just hand them a few bandages and they'll nicely manage for themselves.

Both party heal sluts take care of all other needs.
Crafting deep into negative stamina not only trains their casting and healing, yet also my shield and light armor skills.
And apparently it feels really really good what we're doing, so who's to argue.

>>25138
This Union run was on Colonel because it was my first time ever playing this game.

Currently also doing a CSA campaign, but on BG because I am certainly not ready for MG.
Also, could it be that we have talked about this already on another board?

No linguistic, religious, or ethnic characteristics to separate them from the broader population...

>Are you a Cagot?
>No.

Problem solved.

Historic fact: In 1947, there were many weeks without any rain. After a dry spring, there was a massive draught in summer. Rivers fell dry. Hydroelectric dams failed to produce any power. The heat dried the land. July 29th 1947 is the hottest day ever recorded in Würzburg, with a record-breaking temperature of 37,8°C. Bombed-out ruins offered little shelter Even in September, the heat did not subside. There were massive forest fires. On burned meadows, there was no grass for the cattle. In Bavaria alone, 500.000 heads of cattle had to be slaughtered. After the meager harvest, farmers plowed dust-dry land. Hunger followed.
The winter 1947/1948 was extremely cold, and many froze to death in the ruins.

Those who skipped school on Fridays never learned about this! They should have gone to school instead of protesting!

The reality of this board, I've been forced to return.
I loved reading the multiple and varied approvals of my blog from a host of foreign visitors in Ernstchan, while the rest of the board is in decay. The Germans respond to this by deleting these comments from my thread. This board is in disarray since the Hungarian abandoned ship and the Germans have begun talking exclusively amongst themselves.

For readers of my thought on the historical character of the English bourgeoisie, I leave contact as previously requested orientalist.onthecharacterof@protonmail.com.

>This board is in disarray since the Hungarian abandoned ship

I left as well more or less and I don't see Berlin/film bro Ernst anywhere. You only have the schizo and non-humanities Germans left, basically.
Since i have gf and 40 hour work week there really is nothing in EC that adds to my life anymore :( besides a few entertaining posts

Who gets the YouTube money from this? Can Chris file a copyright strike?

>>23613
I'm pretty sure Geno Samuel, the guy who also made that Documentary gets the money

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgxj_0xPleg

I don't know about Chris Chan's financial involvement but i imagine he gave his okay.

>>23615
>but i imagine he gave his okay
maybe or maybe not. Anyway, Chris is extremely gullible, so he likely got tricked in some way. I hope he was! Lolcows need to be milked!

CWC and flutter at Rauma. I like Flutter's hat.

I guess it will be Flutters turn to go to the US in autumn. Hope she makes it through immigration alright.

>>25078
Are you implying that anyone else but Merz would have done a better job?
Please note that I am not saying at all that he is doing a good job in the first place.

>>25079
My grandma's parrot would have done a better job. My grandma's dead, and her parrot was only a budgy. The budgy's also dead.

>>25080
I mean, of the available politicians. Obviously even a blind, deaf and dumb monkey without arms could do a better job.

>>25083
I wanted to propose a new political system called 'lottocracy'. Entered it in google to not ridicule myself, and it turns out that yep, someone else already had that idea. All the good ideas are taken...

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".

>>22185
Welp, looks like my schizo experiments have gone too far

Woke up in the middle of the night utterly convinced that there was a bird in the radiator that I have in my apartment. The flapping of wings was deafening. I tried to pick apart the radiator to set the bird free. Couldn't do it with my bare hands, so I turned around to look for a tool of some kind. When I turned back, the sound stopped and I barely made it to bed before falling asleep again.

> He is a cringe worthy > muh privacy neckbeard
Imagine getting so hung up about some YouTube video. Is that you?

>For A Few Dollars More

The often overlooked middle child of the Dollars trilogy, but imo and depending on the day the best one.
Sure, it's not as "epic" in scope as GBU, but it certainly wins in the soundtrack department. GBU has The Trio and Ecstasy of Gold, but everything else is pretty boring, whereas FDM's is full of bangers.

The plot itself would be called a clever heist film if they made it today in a modern setting.
Indio is such a great villain with a great gimmick.
Despite running over two hours, it doesn't feel like it.

Resident Alien is a weird show.
Sure, the premise can be fun and what can be done with it and exploring the human condition was shown by e.g. 3rd Rock From The Sun. Also, I just like Alan Tudyk.
Of course since this is the 2020s you can't just have comedy, you have to have a procedural (though that is more due to the alien, who is referring to himself as an alien, being involved with a bunch of those murders), men in black + conspiracies and lots and lots of unrelated (relationship) drama, plus an often very annoying soundtrack.
It has moment that had me laugh out loud and then it has current year writing that makes anyone who isn't terminally online or hollywoodian cringe physically. There was an entire episode about a "girls' night out" smashing the patriarchy, as personified by one of them's husband who is pretty much a modern beta boy, but also the town's mayor, who apparently pays the women less. Also, the women constantly talk about sex in a fashion how a woman would imagine guys talk about sex. Oh, and it has a muslim family, with the little muslim girl wearing a headscarf. She is also one of the smartest people in town and very precocious.
Speaking of the women, the casting is also really weird: Most of them are average at best looking, but they ALL have really fat tits, it's actually pretty amazing. Like someone corralled all those butterfaces and put them on a show.
Also, for a show supposedly set in a South Park Colorado, I can't help but think of Alaska the entire time. Doesn't help it was filmed in British Columbia.

Those kinds of shows are just not for me. I never really managed to get into Monk despite laughing a bunch of times, and I never managed to get into similar shows, like iZombie.

Seinfeld is just not funny. Especially Jerry Seinfeld, who is the most unfunny thing about this already unfunny show.
Anyone who claims the opposite is a boomer with a bad taste or an actual NPC repeating aforementioned boomer's points and deluding themselves into thinking it's good.

In fact, the Costanza meme is probably the funniest thing this piece of shit media has ever spawned.

>Decade of Aggression

Based beyond all belief.

Slayer's influence on Extreme Metal's development cannot be overstated. Of the Big Four of Thrash Metal, Slayer simply has no equal. While Metallica and Megadeth are both legendary bands who wrote catchy riffs, Slayer defined a type of Thrash that would echo globally with their blistering tremolos tearing through your ears like machine guns exhausting entire belts of bullets into enemies. Their edgy lyrics bleed with violence and gore without crossing over into the comically gratuitous or desperately trying too hard to be something they're woefully incompetent at. Put plainly, Slayer inspired whereas most at best copied.

This album features choice songs from Slayer at their peak played live with, as the insert boasts, absolutely no overdubs. The production here is clean but not sterile, so the tone has a great boost while still maintaining its ferocity. Among live Metal albums, Decade of Aggression stands as one of the absolute best.

>>24972
Yeah, that live version of The Antichrist is still my favorite one.
I also saw them live like 20 years ago and I was amazed at how good their sound was.

This is it, btw.
Please note that I ripped this a good 20 years ago, so everything was 128 kbps because it had to fit on a 256MB memory stick mp3 player.

>>24971
Wait, they have albums other than "Paranoid"?
I read Ozzy's autobiography as a naive teenager and still it was obvious to me that he (or his ghostwriter) is a bullshitter. He couldn't take so much drugs and alcohol.
