Nothing to kill or die for.

It’s still missing the point. Of course you can just lie. Just like you can just lie on your tax returns or steal somebody’s wallet. “Getting caught” is the point, not “being able to do something”. The issue with the tech and the laws being in place is that suddenly lying there might become an offense. Imagine you’re in court for some other bullshit and they’re not just arguing that you falsified records (the age you lied about) to add some additional punishment but also might use this to attack your trustworthiness in general. Imagine them arguing that you can’t be trusted with computers because you lied there, so some old fart sentences you to five years without computers or smartphones and suddenly you lost the means to earn your money.

Missing the point entirely.

You do know that odd stuff happening kind of makes life worth living? This is a mild inconvenience in the moment but a story to tell and laugh about for decades. This is net positive by miles and miles.

You do know that you can just put stuff over your mouth to make it sound like you’ve put stuff over your mouth?

HLI dass ich offensichtlich ein Balkonkraftwerk auf dem Dach habe.

Nothing says “family” like eating alone in your room, huh?

You do.

/edit Just scrolled further down and saw the picture of the kitchen table. I take that back, it’s not you but the place is indeed disgusting as fuck and you have my sincere sympathies.

Each company of all companies, not just those three.

Man, I must have missed something… How was he a dick?

Manchmal muss man sich Dinge gar nicht einfach reden… Die sind das einfach von sich aus.

Ein entscheidender Vorteil der neuen Schwebebahnen liegt in ihrer baulichen Flexibilität. Da die Züge auf Stelzen, also „geständert“, geführt werden, lassen sie sich nach Einschätzung des Verkehrsressorts deutlich schneller realisieren als bodengebundene Schienensysteme, die oft langwierige Tunnelbauten oder massive Eingriffe in die bestehende Infrastruktur erfordern. Wo die klassische Straßenbahn an ihre Grenzen stößt und der U-Bahn-Bau Milliarden verschlingt, könnte der Transrapid 2.0 eine Lücke schließen, die sowohl ökonomisch als auch ökologisch attraktiv ist.

The damsel in distress trope is real here, too, which by itself is already dumb, but the woman is split up into three individuals that each reflect one piece of her personality, which turn out to be an asshole, an infant and another asshole.

Also, her name is literally “Goal”.

Like… Who the hell wrote this?

I’m still soo torn on Deponia.

The artwork is gorgeous. But the writing is… Odd. And the protagonist is just so damn unlikeable.

/edit I mean, definitely grab it, especially if it’s free. It’s worth a few bucks, so for nothing it’s definitely worth the click.

That explains pretty much nothing about the “China” joke my question referred to.

That doesn’t mean I get your joke either, but let’s try and get there one by one.

I don’t get it.

It’s the company that screwed the earth by deliberately cheating on emission tests, fucked over employees by declaring they didn’t have money for them before spontaneously finding 6 billion euros when it was time to determine management bonuses (before now declaring they want to fire 50k people), built military cars for the Nazis using forced labourers and concentration camp inmates when they promised they’d build private, civilian cars (which led to hundreds of thousands of people to save money for a product that didn’t exist), ratted out its employees to the Brazilian dictatorship that then promptly started torturing them, is now benefitting from the Uyghur mistreatment in Xinjiang and has a CEO that recently used a Nazi slogan as a pun.

And you’re complaining that they use the same dumb headlights as all other companies.

Gerade mal gecheckt, was ich gerade so zahle…

Tjoa… Danke, aber nein danke.

That’s the same company that just three weeks ago “found” 6 billion euros, just before they had to determine how much money in bonuses the management should get, right?

I can’t tell if you’re joking or not
