There is anti-americanism (which I’ll gladly join in on) and then there’s making asshole memes.

Dunno about personal armor but we have nekkid furry ladies on planes and tanks… humans keep being thirsty.

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

No, really, the books are quite broadly known among the very narrow group of hard sci-fi fans.

Completely off-topic:

Did not anticipate how hard “We’re going on an adventure” would hit me with feelings of horror after reading “Children of Ruin”. Good work Tchaikovsky. Holy shit that mix of possession and zombie-horror with perfectly natural explanations in a hard scifi scenario really did a job on me, even years after finishing the book.

Aaaaaaand that’s the chorus and melody of “Smokin’ Joe Rudeboy” stuck in my head again.

Sigh

In our bed?!

Even a broken clock…

Might even have different names:

Fun Fact:

A northern German youth-slang word for “Bro” is “Digga”, which is a friendly way to say “Fatty”, from “Dicker - dick” (lit.: Fatty, fat/thick), but with the implication of being very dear friends, “dicke Freunde” (lit.: thick friends) just has the meaning “close friends” with no implication of being fat and “dick miteinander sein” (lit.: being thick together) is also an expression of closeness, not of weight.

Interestingly, Digga is being used in exactly the same way as black people in the US use the soft n-word with each other. “Mein Digga!” (lit: my thicky) is 1:1 analogous to “My n-word!”. It’s common for tourists to do a double take when they hear some very German and very white youths yell at one another “Ey Digga!” and many German rappers definitely use it as a stand in for the soft n-word, but It’s use and etymology is rooted in the old dock workers culture of Hamburg and has absolutely nothing to do with the n-word.

12yo? What’re your child labor laws? Arithmetic? We’re talking simple addition here. I manned a cash register before, it’s doable even without the computer. Just takes a wee bit longer.

Why wouldn’t I be able to pay cash without power? If people did it in BCE, I can certainly do it now.

The right to have cash is granted on a constitutional level in the EU, all 27 member states would have to agree to get rid of cash.

• “Kill it!!! But don’t hurt it, awwww.”
• “Don’t worry GM, I wont make you improvise info on every single soldier NPC. - Ok, so you there, what’s your name and why are you here?”
• “If we take every hostile NPC we come across prisoner to await a 100% death-sentence, instead of killing them here and now, we’ll have to start building concentration camps soon and I don’t know if that’s actually better or worse.”
• “Maybe don’t kill the beast?” - “Too late, running now!”
• “Gentlemen, can’t we solve this peacefully?” - “Yes, of course, we’re always ready to talk. But only if it ends with you dead.” - “You seemed to have missed the point there.”

It’s definitely a me thing
