Hah Crytek did that to me circa 2015, C# role but then they changed their minds to C++ and told me "not to worry" 🀣

The germans actually pressured the reluctant Austro-Hungarians to declare war. Germany was chomping at the bit to grab more of France and keep the Baltics/Balcans away from the Entente.

They also had some "interesting" ideas about how the people living in those regions should be replaced with proper Germans that may have inspired the next generation.

Exactly. Since we invented calculators nearly a hundred years ago students have been unable to learn how to do basic addition and multiplication unassisted.

I can't believe they have shit like that in other countries. Had to deal with one where I'm from and the thing is you don't even get anything as an artist. There's vague assurances that they will protect your rights and "register your copyright" but in reality they just take your membership fees and fine money to pay the bigger "artists" and cultural associations (which like, fair enough I guess I just wish it wasn't so opaque and I'm almost certain they only fund musical productions the higher ups happen to be friends with).

It's basically a private organization benefiting from custom laws. Similar to the German radio and TV tax where they have the legal right to charge you for daring to exist in a society with public access media.

Sometimes decades later I suddenly realise I was being flirted on in some random party circa 2004. I used to think exactly like you!

One day I'm going to frame a coloured drawing I still have from year one. The following event is also still ingrained in my mind: We had to colour in a picture with several animals, one of which was a small spotted reptile in a puddle of water. Clearly a salamander.

The teacher crossed it out in red pen and screamed that I am old enough to know lizards are green and there is no such thing as a black and yellow animal on this earth.
