Since I don’t wanna lose faith in mankind, I HOPE it’s just a matter of german convention awarding an austrian publisher.

German dualism is over

And gamers not giving a single fuck. Because gamers.

Why do they think this "not giving a fuck about 8chan AMA" is isolated to "gamers?" No one gives a damn about the THQ 8chan thing other than ERA

Taking the name of a plan spearheaded by a female colleague for his own plan strikes me as bad form.

It's wild that a major publisher interacted with 8chan and came out unscathed. Had this been Disney you know there would be an entire company clean up inspection from top to bottom.

As a side note, living in a country where nuclear power is prominent : it's not a panacea and managing it has its own set of issues (dismantling the plants is still an arduous, not properly mastered process. And waste obviously.). And I'm far from being a nuclear catastrophist. Please someone educate me if I'm wrong but it's also my understanding that Uranium isn't readily available to the point that we could imagine phasing out a big share of coal/oil/gas plants tomorrow with reactors in all major countries.

there is more than just old lightwater reactors and uranium

This thread is not leading to productive discussion and is closed to further replies

also what the fuck is productive discussion

is it a thread that you present to the public at large and say LOOK

look at this shining example of insightful conversation among humans, they really got to the heart of this matter

what the fuck is productive discussion

Easy. A productive discussion would have led a majority of posters to agree that the scene in question is super duper sexist.

I'm obviously reducing this to a very layman understanding. Still AFAIK with current technology (and the longstanding, so far unsuccessful, effort to implement new technology drastically reducing consumption), supply procurement would be an issue.

It’s not wild though. THQ is a c tier publisher. Not important. They were using 8 Chan because their marketing budget is probably pennies compared to even a company like Square Enix. Why the fuck would you compare them to Disney?

Was it a dumb move? Yeah. But people get that and move on.

(Not at liberty to watch the video now but thanks.)

adding in other popular contenders like throiums and numbers vary, but covering the entirety of the world of the world's consumption with the cheapest procurable and at least one hundred years is bandied about
stuff like thorium is common but not exactly the most in demand substance so prospecting is far from intensive, so adjusting the target to include more cost prohibitive deposits and >1000 years gets bandied about

in any case, there is enough to satisfy human need for a very sizable timespan

JERRY: You can't read those takes standing up, your knees buckle.

ELAINE: Huh. All right. Come on.

JERRY: There's only one caveat -- the guys who run the place are a little temperamental, especially about the posting guidelines. They're secretly referred to as the Nazi Mods.

ELAINE: Why? What happens if you don't post right?

Same. Also, the lack of censors on HBO lead to less creative jokes. We wouldn't have "master of your domain" on HBO. We wouldn't have half of Seinfeld's euphamisms with HBO. And honestly, edgy humor is lazy humor (not that that applies to Curb, just that I dislike the trend of comedies having to be sooo fucking tryhard to be "relevant.")

It's a real thing Disney does to anything they own. Jack Kirby and Stan Lee did get in because Disney bought out Marvel.

Yup. Seinfeld is far more creative. Curb is hilarious but without censors there’s no way The Contest would turn out as hilarious as it did. Limitation breeds creativity.

I also love the Ensemble nature of Seinfeld. Curb is mostly just about Larry. While there’s side characters, they’re mostly side characters.

On non Pedo Nazi related concerns, the obligatory fellating of Timesplitters is pretty cringe.

On edgy humor. I saw Sausage Party and was enjoying it and then it turned into a fucking food sex orgy.

I can do edgy humor but it feels a lot of times it just ends up feeling try hard, which Curb isn’t of course. Guess we are on a different tangent now.

[Himu]

Curb is like Always Sunny, in that good writers are able to keep a show alive in the face of stereotypes brought on by other shows and their writers.

Curb isn't at all like Seinfeld imo, aside from Larry David's sense of humor.

The last season of Curb had me laughing out loud, and there's not many shows that can manage that.

Curb came before Sunny. Like it predates Sunny by like 5 years.

Curb takes the joke structure of Seinfeld, which is multiple plot lines running separate that somehow manage to combine together in a hilarious sandwich of laughter. Which is the same sort of comedy Seinfeld made famous.

Heavy disagree. I think it’s more apt to say Sunny more like Curb rather than Vice verse. They clearly took the Seinfeld formula of “these people are awful people, look at them involve themselves in the modern world” and takes it to an extreme. Meanwhile Curb is just more lewd Seinfeld.

Vergangenheitsbewältigung is a problematic term among historians.

Semanticslly, bewältigung means something is over and done with. Please use the better terms Vergangenheitspolitik, Geschichtspolitik and Erinnerungskultur.
