In all seriousness, the notion that Germans lack humor stems from the times when English and American people last got in contact with Germans in larger numbers: In and after WW2. Allied propaganda did paint the Germans as humorless (because they can't be totally evil if they still have humor), and after the war, living in Germany was not exactly fun.
In reality, Germans have a lot of humor, its style being similar to the British, but a lot of it is hard to translate or is based on experiences that non-Germans don't share, like old German TV shows.
Ha ha ja just the other day Hanz made a funny joke he was going to arrive at 13:00 for his 13:00 meeting. We all laughed so hard. Naturlich he was perfectly on time arriving at 12:45, but we still laugh about it. When the meeting started he mentioned it and everyone was laughing and laughing for a good 30 sekunden or even a minute.
That Hanz, such a jokester. And people say the German have no humor, ha that is a joke!
It does annoy me that the Devs built in a system to let you set languages but everyone just sets it to 'duhhhhh I don't know what language I'm speaking?!'
But yeah I do like looking at the silly German words on pictures
Look, having nuclear — my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it’s four — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you, nuclear power, it's tremendous. You know, it's like golf—you've got these reactors, they're hitting a hole in one every time. And I've hit a lot of hole-in-ones in my time, believe me, nobody hits them better than me.
Now, speaking of holes, we're going to dig deep, deep into the ground for these reactors. I mean, really deep. It's like digging for treasure, and let me tell you, we're going to find the best energy treasure ever. It's going to be huge, folks, huge.
And you've got these particles, these nuclear particles, they're like the best little workers. They're working around the clock, 24/7. I don't even work that hard, and I work hard, believe me. These particles, they're like the employees of the future, always on the job.
Now, let's talk about radiation. People say, "Oh, radiation, it's bad." But you know what? We're going to have the best, the cleanest radiation. It's going to be like a spa treatment, I guarantee it. People will go into our nuclear plants and come out feeling better than ever. It's going to be like a Trump-branded spa, only with radiation.
And the technology, oh boy, it's going to be out of this world. We'll have reactors that are smarter than anyone. I've always said, surround yourself with smart things, and these reactors, they're going to be geniuses. We're talking about genius reactors, folks.
Now, let's talk about energy independence. We're going to be so independent, you won't believe it. We won't need anyone else's energy. We'll be like the cool kid on the block with the best toys, and our toy is nuclear power. It's going to be the envy of the world, believe me.
And you know, I've been to a lot of countries, met a lot of leaders. They all want our nuclear technology. They'll be calling me, saying, "Trump, we need your reactors." And I'll say, "Sure, let's make a deal." Because that's what I do, I make the best deals, nobody makes deals like me.
So, in conclusion, nuclear power, it's fantastic, it's tremendous, it's going to make America great again. We're going to have the best reactors, the best energy, and it's going to be beautiful. Thank you, thank you very much.
"It's going to be huge, folks, huge...These particles, they're like the employees of the future, always on the job...So, in conclusion, nuclear power, it's fantastic, it's tremendous, it's going to make America great again." Gold!
I think it's because the top 100 or whatever chart you're looking at is meaningless these days. It used to be a fair representation of what people were listening to, I remember people taping the top 40 off the radio on a Sunday to listen to through the week, everyone was on the same page regarding new single releases.
Now we're atomized, I don't even know what the #1 single is on any given week and I don't care. I've got 30,000 tracks on my home server. There's no new artist who can speak for a generation like Dylan or Woody Guthrie could in their day.
It is exactly like that. A little warm secret fire in your heart, something that's yours and brings you comfort but slowly fucking burns everything else to ash.
