Yeah I’m not gonna be paying for NordVPN. They’ve got this much money for ads and when buying 2 years at a time they’re cheaper than, say, Mullvad? Suspicious.

I do like some of the channels’ sponsor segments though. Internet Historian is great, OverSimplified can do pretty good ones. The Map Men are pure gold. But I’ve never bought into anything they’ve shilled at me, nor do I feel like I want to.

The Bankman fried the clients.

Sam’s the Bankman.

Personally, I also hadn’t even heard of these until now. Maybe they’re just not being marketed to the tech enthusiast crowd as we’re the sorta people who’d diss it for the privacy implication?

yet they didn’t bat an eye at the established creepers doing that already with smartphones

I don’t think anyone’s happy about that either, but the problem with Google Glass (and now even worse with the Facebook ones) is that they’re pretty damn subtle. You notice someone taking out their phone to take a photo of you, but just looking towards you with sunglasses on? Welllllll yeah.

The temple is on the side of the head I thought :) So you have the same gesture as we do I’d think.

Basically it’s usually aimed at the part of your head where your chewing muscles are.

It’s not as round as 65536, but it’s still round enough for me.

“he/she is crazy” in Estonia would be making circles toward your temple with your index finger. What’s the gesture in Portugal?

Now I’m just imagining a table or something with deceptive appearances where it seems narrow, but the legs sit wider, so you’re prone to hitting your little toe, called “FFFUCKING OWWWuh!”, but in Swedish of course

Tbh I was thinking more about how I as an Estonian would pronounce it and what language that would sound closest to.

“they” haven’t improved in that they still put out shit games; They’ve improved 76 yes, but they still put out crap too.

On that note, how is Cyberpunk still 60 euros on Steam? I know it’s been getting better with the DLC and everything, but the game’s been out for ages.

That said, I might have to buy Phantom Liberty. I bought and finished the base game like 2 or 3 years ago I think and I really enjoyed it even back then.

“Break a leg” is close, but more reserved for some grand performance

So in Estonian we have a bunch of those I don’t remember because nobody uses them anymore. But the main one everyone knows is “Kivi kotti” (literally, stone/rock in your bag, but much like with “break a leg”, you actually wish them well). It’s still basically “good luck” but not so much for grand performances, it could just be for your first day of work, or going fishing (the real origin I guess). There’s also “Nael kummi” which is “nail in your tire”, which is reserved for people driving somewhere.

FükkenScälden sounds more like Swedish to me tbh.

I mean it IS a nice round number and you can’t tell me any different.

They said “classic looking exterior” which the new beetle doesn’t have. But problem is, you can’t really have that, largely due to safety regulations, etc.

I suppose they’re extremely common in comparison to other countries. I’ve never heard of them happening in mine since the 90s when we actually had violent crime.

We still have car theft, it’s just that they get stolen while parked.

Extremely common in absolute terms? Hell nah, there are a lot of unpleasant things more likely to happen to you in the US than carjackings.

I think the idea here is more that there’s one rider support agent per like 100 riders at any time vs one driver per rider

Most of what an American would call bread, we don’t consider bread. Bread is dark. They don’t really sell bread in American stores, not sure about western Europe.

Our mustard will make grown men cry and your nose runny. Can be helpful when it’s blocked actually.

… You’re American, aren’t ya

Thinly veiled Rupert Murdoch?

Bah, 007 did it 27 years ago.

I really wanted Megalopolis to be good, but I never had high hopes for it. I’ll probably still watch it eventually because it has a bunch of actors in it that I love + I’m a sucker for future megacities in movies and games (I’m still not over the fact that they cancelled the Star Wars game that was supposed to take place on the lower levels of Coruscant)
