Look back at the last 10 years. Could you have predicted the world now back then? The rise of fascism, the breakout of AI, Drones, Solar PV, Corona,...

Go back further 20 years. Could you have predicted the world as it was 10 years ago, back then? The internet, pirating everything, housing and bank crisis, 9/11.

My point is, the future is always is in flux. Lots of terrible things are going to happen. Lots of good things are also going to happen. Things are going to get better and worse at the same time.

Over here, we kiss our business partners, and blow them too if needed. Anything for that contract.

Wait, you're saying that Home Alone 16 is a secret documentary of the filming on Home Alone 15, which is a time travel film about a Heist that takes place in Home Alone 14, in which 13 also takes place in secret?

In Germany, it's really popular to call each other "Digga" as a way of saying "Dude" or "Man". Its origins come from the word "Dicka" (read: hey fatty, hey thicko), but the Hamburg dialect changed the k to a g.

I, uh, thought it came from a different route via the US. I was wrong...

Yep, but then Family Guy conflated it 20 years ago to "Gattica!" as a way for Peter to show his support for civil rights whilst highlighting that he's an idiot. I doubt Family Guy were the first to make that joke either

It means "a naive imitation" for anyone who's ears are turning red now. Puts on a wool cap.
