| XRevan86 | The first though is that the video will be about election fraud | Sep 12 00:17 |
| scientes | oh, he made himself in Germany | Sep 12 00:18 |
| scientes | was wondering why he was speaking german | Sep 12 00:18 |
| scientes | Oh, Ecuador | Sep 12 00:18 |
| scientes | > He lives with his Polish wife in Berlin, where he made money as a street performer. | Sep 12 00:18 |
| scientes | The tourist industry in Peru loves this guy | Sep 12 00:19 |
| XRevan86 | The Vasileostrovskaya metro station | Sep 12 00:20 |
| XRevan86 | you can see the twisted entrance to it | Sep 12 00:20 |
| XRevan86 | it's because the station is so small it doesn't manage the masses that go through it in a rush hour | Sep 12 00:21 |
| scientes | and here he has the Chitzen Itzen in the background, despite being from Incan lands | Sep 12 00:21 |

| scientes | The Hermitage is EXPENSIVE | Sep 12 00:24 |
| scientes | oh, only $10, nvm | Sep 12 00:25 |
| scientes | in Bogota all the best museums were free | Sep 12 00:26 |
| XRevan86 | Some museums are free here. | Sep 12 00:27 |
| XRevan86 | Hermitage is just so huge internationally it's madness not to cash in on that %) | Sep 12 00:27 |
| scientes | Machu Pichu is $45 for foreigners outside the Andean union | Sep 12 00:27 |
| scientes | and they are talking about enlarging the airport to directly receive overseas flights | Sep 12 00:28 |
| XRevan86 | And then you go to the Russian Museum, which is the second biggest museum in St. Petersburg and… the situation is drastically different. | Sep 12 00:28 |
| scientes | Isn't there a Dostoevsky museum too? | Sep 12 00:28 |
| XRevan86 | wouldn't be surprised | Sep 12 00:29 |
| XRevan86 | Didn't know such a place exists %) | Sep 12 00:29 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Dostoevsky Museum - Wikipedia | Sep 12 00:29 | |
| XRevan86 | I was in some literary museum a few years back, I cannot remember which. The most memorable thing there was the caretaker, who is the snarkiest woman | Sep 12 00:32 |
| XRevan86 | She was not impressed by my below average knowledge of my home city %). | Sep 12 00:33 |
| XRevan86 | and because I'm young enough to be the new generation that doesn't UNDERSTAND | Sep 12 00:34 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Watched until he started performing a theme from Lion King. I thought, wow, YouTube didn't censor that | Sep 12 00:35 |
| XRevan86 | then it cuts to the next performance, and the sound is mute | Sep 12 00:35 |
| scientes | hehe | Sep 12 00:35 |
| scientes | yeah most tourists do everything so fast | Sep 12 00:38 |
| XRevan86 | He didn't even experience the Vasileostrovskaya metro station in the rush hour %) | Sep 12 00:39 |
| scientes | hehehe | Sep 12 00:39 |
| scientes | I was working installing internet in Seattle | Sep 12 00:39 |
| scientes | and I would get people ask me "Is there an accident up ahead?" | Sep 12 00:39 |
| XRevan86 | just getting in can take half an hour | Sep 12 00:39 |
| XRevan86 | accident? | Sep 12 00:40 |
| scientes | like a car accident | Sep 12 00:40 |
| scientes | and I'm like "No, its like this every day, starting at 3PM | Sep 12 00:40 |
| scientes | our permit actually said we had to stop work at 3PM | Sep 12 00:41 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: heh | Sep 12 00:43 |
| scientes | man, the transportation in South America is so good | Sep 12 00:43 |
| XRevan86 | An accident there is. An accident in city planning! | Sep 12 00:43 |
| scientes | and like the roads around here are like 30% buses | Sep 12 00:43 |
| scientes | and 30% taxis | Sep 12 00:44 |
| XRevan86 | meanwhile I live in a place surrounded by two bottlenecks | Sep 12 00:44 |
| scientes | well Seattle was one of the first cities to be drowned in traffic | Sep 12 00:44 |
| scientes | because it is between the ocean and a lake | Sep 12 00:44 |
| scientes | so there is literally nowhere to go | Sep 12 00:44 |
| XRevan86 | My situation is more like "no one cares" | Sep 12 00:45 |
| scientes | so both St Petersberg and Moscow had soviet metros? | Sep 12 00:45 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: had? | Sep 12 00:45 |
| scientes | hve | Sep 12 00:45 |
| scientes | have | Sep 12 00:45 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Of course. | Sep 12 00:46 |
| XRevan86 | 6 Soviet metro's | Sep 12 00:47 |
| scientes | San Francisco is interesting cause there are three light rails built underneath the older one, all still running, on the main st (Market St) | Sep 12 00:47 |
| XRevan86 | in Russia that is | Sep 12 00:47 |
| scientes | oh wow | Sep 12 00:47 |
| scientes | this streetcar still runs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YRbMMqj0qw | Sep 12 00:48 |
| XRevan86 | St. Petersburg is the second biggest city (by far, Russia practically only has two really big cities), so of course there is. | Sep 12 00:48 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-A Trip Down Market Street, 1906: W/ NEW FOOTAGE!!! - YouTube | Sep 12 00:48 | |
| scientes | and they were building them right up til the end | Sep 12 00:50 |
| XRevan86 | St. Petersburg is said to be the second capital of Russia. It indeed has some administation stuff. But it's mostly because it's big. | Sep 12 00:50 |
| scientes | Yekaterinburg completed in 1991 | Sep 12 00:50 |
| scientes | US hasn't built jack shit for transportation is like 2 decades | Sep 12 00:50 |
| XRevan86 | 5 million of people, the third one, Novosibirsk, has 1.6 million | Sep 12 00:50 |
| scientes | just the Portland light raid | Sep 12 00:51 |
| scientes | *rail | Sep 12 00:51 |
| XRevan86 | (I actually thought Yekaterinburg is the third biggest, but it's the fourth actually) | Sep 12 00:51 |
| scientes | this list is annoying cause it only has the soviet names https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_metro_systems_in_the_Soviet_Union | Sep 12 00:51 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | List of metro systems in the Soviet Union - Wikipedia | Sep 12 00:51 | |
| scientes | well except for Staliningrad | Sep 12 00:52 |
| XRevan86 | There's no Volgograd in the list | Sep 12 00:52 |
| scientes | St. Pierregrad hehe | Sep 12 00:54 |
| XRevan86 | also known as Petrograd | Sep 12 00:54 |
| XRevan86 | or what are you referring to? | Sep 12 00:55 |
| scientes | nothing | Sep 12 00:55 |
| XRevan86 | I guess Frenchness | Sep 12 00:55 |
| scientes | well, in War and Peace, the main character is Pierre | Sep 12 00:55 |
| XRevan86 | Пьер Безухов, yes | Sep 12 00:56 |
| XRevan86 | I guess technically Peter, Pyotr and Pierre are the same name, but you know how names are | Sep 12 00:56 |
| scientes | well I didn't realize that until I was in a Monestary, and it had the last supper with a bunch of translations | Sep 12 00:57 |
| scientes | *converted to a museum | Sep 12 00:58 |
| scientes | well i kinda did | Sep 12 00:58 |
| scientes | but that was what i was referring to | Sep 12 00:58 |
| XRevan86 | "St. Petersburg" is kind of a funny one. Unlike most terms in English, it's translated, but only partly. | Sep 12 00:59 |
| scientes | where English has lots of bergs | Sep 12 00:59 |
| scientes | *well | Sep 12 00:59 |
| scientes | or rather the US | Sep 12 00:59 |
| scientes | but yeah, not City of St Peter | Sep 12 01:00 |
| scientes | that would be kinda weird | Sep 12 01:00 |
| XRevan86 | https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sankt_Petersburg hm, the German name also has the "s" in it | Sep 12 01:00 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-de.wikipedia.org | Sankt Petersburg – Wikipedia | Sep 12 01:00 | |
| XRevan86 | I guess I just don't get it | Sep 12 01:00 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-en.wikipedia.org | Saint Petersburg - Wikipedia | Sep 12 01:01 | |
| scientes | it was renamed Petrograd to remove the germanness | Sep 12 01:01 |
| scientes | and I wonder what the options on that ballot were | Sep 12 01:01 |
| XRevan86 | Got Google Translate to translate "Peter's things" to German, it outputted "Peters Sachen" | Sep 12 01:01 |
| scientes | in 1991 | Sep 12 01:01 |
| XRevan86 | Turns out German is like English in this respect. | Sep 12 01:01 |

| scientes | kinda a sham that they didn't reconsider Petrograd | Sep 12 01:04 |
| scientes | that's not Soviet at all | Sep 12 01:05 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: Well, it was brief. | Sep 12 01:07 |
| scientes | ahh good point | Sep 12 01:07 |
| XRevan86 | I guess tsarists didn't have any romantic feelings for it %) | Sep 12 01:07 |
| XRevan86 | The worst part about the current name is it's verbosity. | Sep 12 01:08 |
| XRevan86 | * its | Sep 12 01:08 |
| scientes | Not as bad as Washington, District of ColUmbia | Sep 12 01:09 |
| XRevan86 | Still, it's abbreviated a lot more than it would have. | Sep 12 01:10 |
| scientes | and the US has SAN Francisco | Sep 12 01:10 |
| scientes | instead of "Saint Francis" | Sep 12 01:10 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: That has a ring to it though :) | Sep 12 01:11 |
| scientes | one thing about South America is that they use the same names over and over again | Sep 12 01:11 |
| scientes | even in the same country | Sep 12 01:11 |
| XRevan86 | and Санкт-Петербург has 4 consonants in a row | Sep 12 01:12 |
| scientes | and they don't add a "New" like in New England | Sep 12 01:12 |

| scientes | New Dehli is the most interesting one | Sep 12 01:17 |
| scientes | when you decide to re-build a city right next to the old one | Sep 12 01:17 |
| XRevan86 | Russia has a few duplicate city names too though | Sep 12 01:18 |
| XRevan86 | Nizhny Novgorod, Rostov-na-Donu | Sep 12 01:18 |
| XRevan86 | Arguably that's not as dull as prefixing a name with New | Sep 12 01:22 |
| scientes | also New Sweden | Sep 12 01:22 |

| scientes | well calling software "free" and "open" is like calling a country a "democratic republic" | Sep 12 01:25 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: And FLOSS is like calling a country a "people's democratic republic" | Sep 12 01:25 |

| XRevan86 | This reminds me about mplayer2, which was a fork of mplayer which got pretty close to "New MPlayer" in it's naming approach. | Sep 12 01:36 |
| scientes | mplayer3? | Sep 12 01:36 |
| XRevan86 | mplayer3 is MPV | Sep 12 01:36 |
| scientes | or even woorse, new mplayer2 | Sep 12 01:37 |
| XRevan86 | the vicious cycle is broken | Sep 12 01:37 |

| schestowitz | whose face is overlaid? | Sep 12 21:41 |
| XRevan86 | hestowitz: Anakin Skywalker, it's a Star Wars prequels reference. | Sep 12 21:47 |

| schestowitz | I hate Star Wars | Sep 12 21:52 |
| schestowitz | and now it's Disney-owned | Sep 12 21:53 |
| schestowitz | So an extra reason to dislike and shun it | Sep 12 21:53 |
| *XRevan86 rewatched the original trilogy and found it to be quite entertaining. | Sep 12 21:54 | |
| MinceR | :> | Sep 12 21:54 |
| MinceR | the prequels were made before disney took over | Sep 12 21:54 |
| MinceR | i found it to be quite entertaining as well | Sep 12 21:54 |
| MinceR | episodes 2 and 3 at least | Sep 12 21:55 |
| schestowitz | maybe I tried the wrong Eps | Sep 12 21:55 |
| schestowitz | and was never interested since | Sep 12 21:55 |
| XRevan86 | schestowitz: The trilogy from 70s and 80s are the right Eps. | Sep 12 21:56 |
| cubexyz | you have to remember what special effects were like in 1977 | Sep 12 21:56 |
| cubexyz | so star wars was a big deal in 1977 | Sep 12 21:56 |
| cubexyz | plus being so young back then had an effect | Sep 12 21:57 |
| XRevan86 | the most important thing is that it holds up | Sep 12 21:57 |
| cubexyz | for the later generations "The Phantom Menace" wasn't as big | Sep 12 21:57 |
| XRevan86 | cubexyz: The widely hated one? Yea, I think you're right. | Sep 12 21:58 |
| cubexyz | XRevan86, the first two movies were decent | Sep 12 21:58 |
| XRevan86 | cubexyz: Of the prequels? | Sep 12 21:59 |
| cubexyz | no :) | Sep 12 21:59 |
| cubexyz | the original and Empire Strikes Back | Sep 12 21:59 |
| XRevan86 | I watched them all together, every time, so it's hard for me to have separate feelings for them %) | Sep 12 21:59 |
| cubexyz | I remember star wars had _giant_ line-ups back in the day | Sep 12 22:00 |
| cubexyz | but now? no, I don't bother with the new movies | Sep 12 22:01 |

| XRevan86 | cubexyz: Have you seen the LotR film trilogy? | Sep 12 22:02 |
| cubexyz | XRevan86, yes | Sep 12 22:03 |

| cubexyz | btw the original Star Wars was nominated for best picture in 1977 | Sep 12 22:04 |
| cubexyz | Annie Hall won that year | Sep 12 22:04 |
| XRevan86 | cubexyz: What do you think about animated and CGI films? | Sep 12 22:05 |
| cubexyz | XRevan86, it's like everything else, it's a mixed bag | Sep 12 22:06 |
| XRevan86 | cubexyz: Okay, how about… Inglourious Basterds | Sep 12 22:06 |
| cubexyz | some are good, some are so-so, some are bad :) | Sep 12 22:06 |
| cubexyz | never saw it | Sep 12 22:07 |

| MinceR | it's awesome | Sep 12 22:13 |
| scientes | XRevan86, did you patch GNU Social? | Sep 12 22:25 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The new Star Wars movies are constant. | Sep 12 22:28 |
| DaemonFC[m] | And many of them feel like joyless cash grabs. | Sep 12 22:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Solo wasn't very good. Why did he need more of a back story? | Sep 12 22:29 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Rogue One was good. Except that it had to have all of the characters die to explain why they never surfaced in the original trilogy, and also they brought back Governor Tarkin and a younger Leia but the CGI for the characters made it so there was something creepy and off about them. | Sep 12 22:30 |
| XRevan86 | scientes: yes | Sep 12 22:30 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Vader can be done as long as James Earl Jones is alive because he's just doing voice acting. | Sep 12 22:31 |
| scientes | how social of you :) | Sep 12 22:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | The Disney ones did save the franchise from some of George Lucas's later mistakes. | Sep 12 22:32 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Jar Jar Binks. Adding things that don't add value to "special editions" of the original movies. | Sep 12 22:33 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Movies with carefully considered scripts and plot elements are gone. | Sep 12 22:34 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Avengers: Endgame was about as long as any movie in theaters has played for in decades, and the reason why is that shorter movies get people in and out faster and they don't have to have as many theaters showing it. Most movies don't play to sold out theaters anymore, so when one does, it's sort of novel. | Sep 12 22:35 |
| DaemonFC[m] | But even though Avengers: Endgame was over 4 hours long, it wasn't up there with the nuanced acting and subtle plot elements of Lawrence of Arabia. | Sep 12 22:36 |
| DaemonFC[m] | People haven't been well educated enough in years to understand movies like that. | Sep 12 22:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | Much less the language of the King James Bible. | Sep 12 22:37 |
| DaemonFC[m] | So even when they say they believe the KJV, word for word, they come up with some interesting meanings that are not at all how they were meant to be taken. | Sep 12 22:37 |
