Recording the police / filming them on the streets is not illegal. Being an asshole, calling them a bitch or a tyrant to their faces, and telling them to go fuck themselves? JFC do the uncles have nothing better to do for kicks? They’re morons. Like you said, nothing wrong with filming the police. But antagonizing them is stupid and a good way to get arrested.

Damn autocorrect changed my “incels” to “uncles” … And I spent 15 minutes yesterday Googling what 'uncle' means in slang.
(And now I had to Google 'incel')

This is more than two years old, but it's hilarious. It's a little tale about a rapper not being very smart. July 2019. Cattle Decapitation announced that their new album would be called Death Atlas and unveiled the artwork, the one that can be seen below: It has the hard to read for the non-fan type band logo in the top left corner and the album title at the bottom. Shortly after, a rapper known as Teddy YG (YG stands for young gangsta' apparently) somehow stumbled on the artwork and liked it enough that he decided to steal it and use it as the cover of his new mixtape. He cropped out the album title at the bottom (but hilariously didn't notice the band logo!) and slapped his own name and mixtape title in a funny-looking font on top of the artwork. He eventually deleted the Instagram post, maybe for legal reasons, maybe to stop the flood of comments from Cattle Decapitation fans. The band still had screenshots of his post and one of his responses to being called out for plagiarism... where he says they owe him? And they printed them on a t-shirt. The rapper still maintains they owe him.

It's probably harsh and unfair to label these people as idiots. But this two minute sequence earns them a spot on the list.

^I wouldn't have figured it out any faster. I mean, looking at the consonants already displayed, I could tell what couldn't be in that last word. But I just couldn't figure out what the word was.

^Well you have a valid excuse. Although it's a common expression you probably won't hear those learning the language from afar. People from across the ocean would be at a big disadvantage in this game. On the topic of knowledge of distant areas. I just finished playing Resident Evil Village (aka RE8), I started it a little after Christmas then took about a month break before finally finishing it. When I started playing it I wondered where it took place, and quick internet search revealed "An Eastern European Country". When I started playing it again I noticed the currency was lei, which I recognized from that Transylvania metal fest you posted about. That was the first time I ever heard of lei actually. A deeper dive then revealed it was based on Peles Castle.

This is 1 leu: This is also 1 leu, front: ... and back: This is 5 lei: This is also 5 lei, front: ... and back: The bills have a historical/ artistic personality and a flower/ plant on the front side and a construction and some cultural symbol on the other side. There's also a transparent window in the shape of one of the other graphical elements on it. They're made out of plastic, so if you're worried about germs, you can literally launder them. With water and soap. And yes, the name does come from the animal. In a more complicated way, but it's not just a coincidence that they're called the same. In a more complicated way means that money got to be called as lions due to Dutch coin with the Belgic lion circulating here hundreds of years ago... for the same two 'C' reasons this part of Romania has a German minority population - crusades and commerce.

Ladies and gentlemen, the idiot of the week award goes to... Dmitry Olegovich Rogozin! First of all, let's get to know the great man. He studied journalism and economics, also has a PhD in philosophy and is now... the head of the Russian space agency? Well, of course. The party of crooks and thieves (please note the poster showing a bear dragging a loot bag westwards out of Russia - they spew hate against the Western world at every opportunity, but they sure fucking love the banks in Switzerland, the villas in Italy, the excitement in London and owning property in Florida) promotes family values by promoting family members! Why, yes, of course, he's loaded (English subtitles). And please don't imagine he worked for it, that's only for suckers like us. No, he's corrupt to the bone - did you expect anything else? Okay, now that we've cleared that his competence has everything to do with stealing public money and nothing to do with the field he's employed in, let's look at where he stands when it comes to international politics. He has stood behind invading Georgia in 2008 and Crimea in 2014. For the latter, he ended up on a select list of high-ranking Russian officials whose US assets were frozen and were banned from entering the US. To which he said there are other ways of traveling to places, tanks don't need visas and that the US better learn how to bring their astronauts to the ISS using a trampoline. After Crimea, Romania (as well as the rest of the EU) also banned him, he thought he could be a gangster and still enter Romanian airspace, but after that didn't go as he had planned, he said that the next time he flies to Romania it would be on a supersonic heavy bomber. Quite the diplomat, huh? He's also the guy who threatened the crash of the ISS in response to the current sanctions. Newest one, the icing on the cake, the gem that secured his win in the race for this award. He tweeted a part of a Tom and Jerry cartoon, where Jerry (Ukraine) desperately calls the bell to get Spike (NATO) to come to his help when Tom (Russia) shows up menacingly, but bad luck, Spike is tied and Tom beats the crap out of Jerry. He then tweeted to add that cartoons seem to be the only thing Western brains understand. Well, his brain obviously fails to understand even that much. One, by using this analogy, he's basically admitting to Russia being the bully, attacking without reason. Two, if this is meant for the West, I'm afraid he's missing the fact that... uh, oh, people would be familiar with the cartoon and know how it ends. With Tom getting his ass kicked. An ending he conveniently omitted. Here's the full cartoon so that this post has at least one nice thing in it. I saw someone compare the Russian leadership to a Mexican cartel. Judging by how Putin and his cronies behave, I think that's spot on.

Google Translate I once joked that the best way to cheer myself up was to pass something through Google Translate and read the results. Well, today I found out that it translates "cocalar" to "cocaine". Not even close, lol. A "cocalar" is basically a "trashcan prince" The kind of guy who never misses an opportunity to say he's got money, he's got value, he's got sex-appeal. To show off his latest smartphone, likely stolen. And always plays manele loudly from it everywhere he goes, though you'd think fare dodgers wouldn't want to draw attention on them while they're on public transport. The kind whose facebook feed is photos all his money and all money he can borrow from friends and family. Photos with him next to expensive cars he pretends to own, but really doesn't. Photos with him in nightclubs, bare-chested as if he were some Greek god, even though he looks more like a dead blobfish. Photos with him and duckfaced trashcan princesses, which you would never be able to identify without makeup. The kind who always wears a "gold" chain thick enough to hold a bull. The kind who only eats the cheapest salami, is missing some teeth because dental care is expensive, showers once a month because water is expensive, but has to show off branded t-shirts, shoes and other shit. The kind who takes pride in his lack of education and his inability to control grammar and spelling. The kind who mocks suckers who took school seriously and have a job. When his income comes from not quite legal combinations. The kind of guy whose hand is going to stray from behind in between your legs while you're buying a train/ bus ticket from the ticket machine or waiting to cross the street. Or tries to unbutton your shirt when you walk out of the store because it's his god-given right to see some skin, some boob action. The kind who wolf howls, calls you a "doll" and a "princess" and then starts hitting your legs and calling you a hideous slut after you keep on ignoring his advances. Bonus giggle content when it comes to bad Google translations:
