  • Humour was very different when they first started. There was a turning point in the late 90s with Mandrilaftalen and stand-up in general.

    Everything prior to that was just boomer humour with repeated punchlines.

    I also can’t believe Tim & Gordon still have status as funny TV celebrities. They had one show 30 years ago where they told the same fucking jokes in every single episode.

    But at least they weren’t as bad as Ørkenens Sønner. Even at the time they aired on TV, you would be able to find their entire joke catalogue on the joke page in the magazines that old ladies read at the hairdresser.








  • the CEO has said that managers need to prove that AI can’t do a job if they want to increase headcount

    This is why it will fail. Instead of the CEO providing any kind of explanation for how AI could work, managers now need to waste their time arguing with the CEO why their stupid ideas won’t work.

    I have one manager who does this kind of reverse burden of proof all the time (unrelated to AI), and in the meantime we don’t get anything done of value of to the company.

    It’s like trying to push a door that says pull.


  • Yes, we have quite an unhealthy alcohol culture here.

    The only redeeming factor is that most people make their mistakes learning their tolerance while still being young enough to avoid getting in serious trouble.

    If you’ve never touched alcohol at 18, you might want to be extra careful about it. It’s kinda cringe to watch grown ups not knowing their limits, because it’s assumed that they should know by now.





  • I had to mention both, because I like them for different reasons.

    Initially I didn’t even like Vice City, because it was just an epigon of GTA3 with more lens flare, but the story and not least the music won me over. I know it’s a blatant mockery of Scarface, but that’s what makes it so great and funny.

    San Andreas is probably the masterpiece of them all. Maybe it got a little too serious in comparison to previous games, but it managed to portrait a great feeling of freedom and doing whatever in-between the main missions.

    GTA V is more like: Follow the arrow through this generic oversized map.








  • The great thing about representative democracy is that idiots don’t actually vote for anything. They only vote for whom to represent them.

    I’ll admit, I’m somewhat of an ignorant idiot myself. I haven’t read nor understood the entirety of all laws. That’s why I choose someone else to represent me.

    I think it’s only fair that mentally handicapped people are also allowed to choose someone to speak their case.

    The problem in US isn’t the idiots. It’s the two party system. In countries with multiple parties, truly idiotic votes would be scattered randomly all over different parties, or they would be placed on the party that represents idiots the best.

    That doesn’t work in US, because you actually only have one political party and then the opposition. It’s really easy for an opposition to trick idiots into voting against everything.
