Just referencing common jokes some nations have about other nations, the french all surrender, the Japanese are horny for school girls, the british have bad teeth, Americans are all loud... that sort of thing.

For Germans it's that you invented scat tables (glass tables) to watch your sex partner shit on you.

This is pre-internet lore, so probably formulated from German inclinations towards rationality and self-examination, sprinkled with some WW2 stuff, and some actual stuff about porn/bondage communities.

It's probably better left in the past, even if it's still a cultural reference that can be used.

The article makes it clear that the Chinese botnet is targeting Microsoft azure accounts, usually for large organizations involved with governments, infrastructure, legal professionals, science and technology.

It also states that the attacks can be disinfected by regularly restarting your router, but that this doesn't prevent reinfection later.

The US intelligence services also says you should regularly restart your phone.

This is Microsoft's posting about it which other news sources are quoting from: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2024/10/31/chinese-threat-actor-storm-0940-uses-credentials-from-password-spray-attacks-from-a-covert-network/

It has a recommendations section which suggests "credential hygiene" and strong passwords help.

Zizek has commented on the nature of ideology in Western European societies in relation to how their toilets deal with shit.

It suggests a fetish for examination.

Migrants from war torn countries unfortunately. In some communities there's a lot of people with birthdays on Jan 1st, because they don't know their birthdates. Quite common for Sudanese refugees (places with child soldiers or where family/parent based killing happened).

It's tough out there in the world.

Yes, I'm familiar with German culture.

Counterpoint, there are also games you tried and HATED as a kid, that you might now like as an adult.

As I kid I had a lot less need for quality story telling, and roll play, probably a lot less interest in gardening simulators too. There's probably lots of stuff you thought you didn't like.

...yes, which is what the military industrial complex wants, which is why they developed the virus! It creates a forever war, with no real victims. Only an ever expanding number of enemy combatants!

Think of the profits! The constant sale of more weapons!...and they'll never get into MY bunker! Because it's in New Zealand!

I figure they need Trump to also do a bunch of crimes when he's in office before they pull the plug on him... That way he can blamed whilst they keep all the power.

The fridge is a big pump, it needs to circulate... It's when it sits idle for too long that it risks death!
