Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Drones

TheGenk says...

What makes me especially angry are the muppets still spewing bs like "they hate our freedom" or "we're fighting global terrorism" and similar word bundles with no connection to reality.
When in a sizable part of the world the biggest terrorist organization is you, you're not fighting terrorism, you are terrorism.

It's Nietzsche's "He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." in a nutshell.

German Language Compared to other Languages

TheGenk says...

The Krankenwagen takes you to the Krankenhaus because you are krank. Simple and logical.
"The ambulance takes you to the hospital because you are sick" on the other hand... now that you should not like the sound of. With a little etymological magic this becomes:
The walker takes you to the guesthouse because you are sick.
That's just silly.

@ChaosEngine There are even more words for fluffy, but I heard the english language doesn't have a word for the happyness you feel when a person you dislike encounters a little misfortune or the place you send your kids to before they are old enough for school.

So... if I'm sick, the krankenwagen is going to take me to the krankenhaus... presumably for some kranken. I don't like the sound of that at all.

Last Week Tonight - Ferguson and Police Militarization

TheGenk says...

After all these comments I'd like to thank @bobknight33 for instantly redirecting the discussion away from the actual and important topic of police militarization and use of force against protests.
It is quite remarkable how well this tactic works in changing the attention of public outcry from the important to the negligible.

Sen. Whitehouse debunks climate change myths

TheGenk says...

Agreed.

What I was trying to say, perhaps clumsily, was that I think for legislature to accept the evidence an industry with an interest in reacting to said evidence (the insurance industry, for instance) would have to lobby more than the industry with an interest in ingnoring said evidence.

It's the cancer of Corporations before People shit thats gotten hold of in a lot of industrialized nations, and especially the US.

moonsammy said:

I'd argue the sure sign that our system is fucked in the US is that facts don't matter in legislative issues.

Also, in this case it's more lobbying group vs thoroughly vetted evidence.

Manhattan First Look Scenes: "Computers"

TheGenk says...

Man Computers were way more interactive back then.

Btw, why is there a WTF-Tag?
I hope it's not because the guy called the women Computers. For those who didn't know, before there were machines called Computers, there was a profession called Computer (as shown in this clip pretty much exclusivley women who did all the hard work of actually computing/calculating the stuff the now famous guys came up with).
