If you scroll down on the page, you can see it wasn’t as a big hit in the US, top 46 only.

The erotical love of the local flag is a US only thing, noone cares about that anywhere elso on the planet. Do whatever you want with that cloth.

“Desecrecation” what a word.

This song was played five times in a row at the funeral of director Stanley Kubrick.

It’s a bit fishy…

Ah, dankechön!

Ich ferstehe nicht.

What is a Lemmy Original Meme? Is that you on the video?

Don’t get me wrong, I love it.

Edit: I found it this is the source meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/guy-slamming-credit-card

The most communist part is that the whole process is fully managed by the government tax office, not some 3rd party private company.

The not communist part is that it takes unbelievable amount of corruption to program and maintain these services under the hood. They figured out that it’s hard to measure how much human work needed to develop such a thing, so they can just invoice whatever unbelievable amount they want. American companies help with that as well. Windows and Office license for state offices 3-4 times higher than the normal price for consumers, because for some reason they can’t buy it directly from Microsoft, they have to buy from local appointed dealers… Actually MS was fined for this for USD 8.7 Million, the local party in one of this deal was promoted to higher government position afterwards.

So actually this doesn’t exist for making the peasant’s life easier, just to have jobs to steal from… It’s just accidental that our small life becomes a bit less miserable during the process.

I tell you how it works in my shitty eastern european country:

• I get an email that my report is ready, I have to go to a website where I can see it.
• After logging in I can see a list, where I worked last year, how much was paid, if I should pay anything more or I can get back something.
• If everything is alright I can hit OK. If something is not right I can open an issue on the same website, but I never had to do that ever.

That’s all. Usually takes less than 5 minutes for the whole process.

Ye/s

Thanks for adding /s at the and I would thought they really changed the flag.

But they have 5 vertices, are you sure? Iirc penta means five in french. 4 at the bottom plus the top.

No, that was obvious.

Thank you

I don’t recognise one of them.

What was fmovies? Some streaming sites?

These things are come and go, but old ways of the warez are still working. I remember one of my classmates taught me how to torrent more than 20 years ago. I had to change trackers and cliens during the years, but I never had to think about things like this because the workflow will always be the same.

Soulseek is still up there since 2003.

TIL Cyriak still makes the same kind of videos 20 years later. I feel old
