Depends on your position on that. Special military operation to give Christmas back its rightful place in the year.

The war on Christmas…

Sure, there are ways but I honestly don’t see the benefit now that streaming is fast. I want to watch a movie or series once and don’t need to own it, especially since I can restream it or download it from the streaming site

It was the goto streaming site back then. We all learned out lesson once it was down. I looked it up and it was online from 2008 to 2011, feels longer for me but I was torrenting alot before that. German law is strict on torrenting so streaming is the way to go here.

Your analysis fits neatly into what the book Because Internet describes as different waves of “internet people”. First were geeks who went there before it was mainstream, second us millennials growing up as it is getting mainstream, alongside older folks forced to use it at work or voluntarily at home.

I have a bank robbery simulator which feels more real than the real thing. It’s like when farmvill was a thing and I sold my garden. Hell, I wouldn’t go by bus anywhere if there was a simulator for that, too.

I knew it! It’s a scam and always has been! Nobody wanted to believe me but now I have prove

Like my therapist is totally not hallucinated. We meat each week at my happy place

While sticking to themselves

Wait, how long did the first 54% take? I suck at math

So you are allowed to criticize it but I’m not?

No, that’s wrong. Zangendeutsch is all about English influence and playfully literal translations even when there are better German words. So you need to translate it back to English and into German again to decode it and that’s the fun about it.
