For those curious, it does appear that megatokyo may be getting updates but they’re infrequent, a few a month and not on a set schedule. There are like 9 chapters out now though.
For me, German humour is at its best when it's using subtitles in the German language - not really through puns, but by using language to highlight contradictions and absurdities. Obviously, this humour does not translate well at all.
After learning German and re-reading some Kafka stories I was struck by how stories I had read as somewhat somber in English were actually full of a weird sense of humour in the original German. It's still absurd and unsettling, but somehow Kafka is also funny.
Hulu, Spotify, paramount+, peacock, Netflix, hbomax, disney+, prime, for media that’s all I think. Many more subscriptions in all though, for cloud storage and compute, various apps, minecraft servers and realms, honestly I need to take stock of it all
I pay for Peacock, Netflix, Paramount, and Apple. I get Disney and Hulu free with my phone plan, and I’m sharing someone else’s HBO Max, Brit Box and Prime accounts until they say accounts can’t be shared anymore. None of the ones I pay for cost too much except Netflix, which I would have canceled by now if my mom didn’t watch it so much lol
China invades Taiwan and the US helps defend them.
China’s president Xi Jingping’s remarks about taking Taiwan back over during his address to the nation this year.
I work with someone who is currently high ranking in a corporation and is a retired submariner who was also in intelligence and is currently in the reserves. He has mandatory federally protected training upcoming this year over this exact scenario (basically, not all of their training is federally protected, meaning an employer can’t retaliate over taking time off to do mandatory training). The military is obviously convinced it’s a real possibility.
I get Max for free with my phone, Hoopla free from the library, and my sister lets me use her Disney+ account. The only streaming service I pay for is PBS Passport.
I pay for Hulu and Prime (for the shipping), and get Netflix & Apple TV thru my T-Mobile subscription.
edit: oh, derp. I also have YouTube premium because I paid up for the Google Play Music family plan back in the day, and then it converted to YouTube Music + Premium. Later, I upped my subscription to Google One for the extra storage and phone support and get some okay, ad-free free content on the 'Tubes
Paying monthly for Apple, Netflix & YouTube TV. Paid for a year of Prime just before they announced they were adding ads. Got a year of Peacock with ads last year for $20. Also have a yearly subscription to Tennis Channel Plus.
I usually rotate a few of the monthly subs every 3 to 6 months to catch up on some shows and movies I’ve missed, but I’m getting closer and closer to cancelling them all. Too expensive and too much time on the couch.
