Yes. As was nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Eradicating fascism is a noble goal, but it’s still valid to criticise individual atrocities that people perpetrated to reach that goal.

Is this a George Orwell reference?

That is the German name for flea markets. It’s when people sell old stuff they don’t want or need anymore in their garden/some square/the street.

Guess the creators are Germans…

This joke has gotten pretty old by now and only helps downplay the seriousness of their dangerous ideas.

Fuck Banksy he’s a sellout and not a graffiti artist. There is no deeper meaning behind his wannabe deep, wannabe social critic shit, just pretentious bullshit for instagram aesthetics. The only things he’s good at are marketing and selling himself to rich twats with questionable taste. Even my 80 yr old grandma, who is as much a part of the establishment as it gets, is a big fan.

He also could be considered a plagiarist. Check out black le rat, he did his style and a lot of his images before banksy was even a thing.

R.I.P King Robbo, he knew all along.

Great image, love the vibe.

So basically what they are saying is that Europe is quite innovative, they just don’t have a capitalist enough culture and enough money in venture capital to exploit that innovation as much as the US?

Seems like a win for Europe to me, most shit venture capitalists touch turns into toxic garbage and most unicorns fucking suck.

We might have that here, but half the people I know work jobs that still expect them to be on call all the time and would get in serious trouble if they turned of their phones during busy periods. So while yes, in theory it’s great, our toxic work culture seems to cancel it out quite well.

I always tell those guys they should quit it or sue the fuck out of those assholes, but no one ever does -.-

Kann sich Ashton Kutcher mal ganz hart selber ficken bitte? Hält zu seinem verurteilten Vergewaltiger-Kumpel aber macht hier in der EU, wo der Clown nicht mal selber wohnt, Lobby für sein schwachsinniges Prestigeprojekt.

Edit: Grad gelesen dass er dann wohl doch aus Thorn ausgetreten ist nachdem er sich nicht von seinem Vergewaltiger-Kumpel lossagen wollte. Macht die Organisation und Kutcher beide kein Stückchen weniger beschissen.

Fair enough, I haven’t seen it yet. Also didn’t really notice how Decaprio heavy the list was until your comment.

No particular order. Also, it’s movies that I watched, can’t speak on essentials that I might be missing.

It’s kinda hard to make a list on essentials tho. Because your personal taste obviously plays a big role. I can’t see my girlfriend liking more than 10 percent of those…

Schindlers List

Gladiator

No country for old men

The grand Budapest hotel

The big Lebowski

The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers

Star Wars (the original one)

Requiem for a dream

Pulp fiction

The good, the bad, the ugly

The lives of others

La vita é Bella

All quiet on the western front (1930 version)

The dark knight

The Truman Show

2001: Space odyssey

Alien

7 Samurai

Princess Mononoke

Trainspotting

Boyz N the Hood

Scarface

The Godfather 1, 2

The Matrix

Clockwork Orange

Shutter Island

Honorable mentions because they are popular and everybody always talks about them (I like a lot of them, too. Don’t consider them essentials tho):

Inception

Interstellar

Fight Club

Harry Potter

Return of the King

Rest of Star Wars (whatever people consider the good ones at last)

Saving Private Ryan

Django Unchained

Toy Story

The Lion King

Don’t forget about all the Nazis with their robot dogs that make up the police force over there.

There just isn’t another way to keep the place nice and safe without them.

M3 MacBook Advice (self.apple_enthusiast)
submitted 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) by Augustiner to c/apple_enthusiast
 

My old and trusty MacBook is slowly giving up and I’m trying to replace it. I’ve been looking at the m3 pro line for a replacement.

Currently I’m debating wether a 14-Inch 12 core CPU, 18 core GPU, 1 TB SSD, or the 16-Inch 12 core CPU, 18 core GPU, 500 GB SSD makes more sense.

I like the small size and larger SSD of the 14 Inch version, but I’m kinda scared that it’ll get hot faster than the bigger version or have less power somehow.

My tasks include handling documents, editing large photos and videos and very rarely some 3D stuff in blender. I also wanna play some BG3 from time to time.

What would you choose? Are those good choices for the jobs I want it to do? Is my fear of the small one being a little too powerful for its size justified? Or do you say get something else entirely?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Took this last summer in Italy. Big bird isn’t really dangerous for the little one (they don’t eat other birds).
