I guess the reason all that Backrooms stuff has never really fazed me is because I worked in on-site networking support for a while, and literally every city's downtown district is just Like That once you get off the beaten path. Not just the really big cities, either; the one I'm currently living in has a population of less than 250 000 – metro area included – and a downtown area about six blocks across, and the service corridors still manage to do some House of Leaves shit. At one point I was trying to map the route of a misbehaving network cable, started out in a shopping mall parking garage, and ended up surfacing in the basement of the casino across the street. Totally unsecured – apparently neither the mall's administration nor the casino's managers knew that particular service corridor existed.

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

in other developments re german/anglo cultural exchange on breadstuffs, this image was posted to a facebook group yesterday

the following events ensued:

1. predictable lively discussion on the preparation of Wienerschnitzel, in which natives and wurstaboos are pro-puff and everybody else is like *confused dog head tilt* why wouldn’t you want the crust to stay ~attached to the thing you put it on? as with other fried foods?

2. thirty “Bad Schnitzel is my band name” jokes

3. thirty “Bad Schnitzel is my stripper name” jokes

4. one “ah yes, Bad Schnitzel! a lovely spa town” joke

5. this absolute masterpiece:

[Video description: Video about English words that have unclear meanings to Japanese people. It's framed as a conversation between two people.

Person 1: "So in English you'd call a person from Japan "Japanese," right?

Person 2: Yeah.

Person 1: So, in English a person from Sweden is "Swedenese?"

Person 2: Mm, no, in English a person from Sweden is "Swedish."

Person 1: Ah! So, in English a person from Canada is "Canadish?"

Person 2: No, in English a person from Canada is "Canadian."

Person 1: Ahh! So, in English a person from New Zealand is "New Zealandian?"

Person 2: No, in English a person from New Zealand is a "New Zealander."

Person 1: Ah, so then in English a person from Thailand is a "Thailander"?

Person 2: No, in English a person from Thailand is "Thai."

Person 1: Ah, so in English a person from Holland, or the Netherlands, is "Nether?"

Person 2: Mm, no, in English a person from the Netherlands is "Dutch." The two then repeat the word "Dutch. Dutch? Dutch." at each other, the first person incredulously, the second person shrugging and otherwise using body language to affirm the absurdity of the situation. At the end, Person 1 is making direct eye contact with the camera as he says again "Dutch??" End description.]

dr who’s on first, doctor strange is on second and doctor house is on third. theres no way theyre getting through a single inning

[four-rabbits-in-a-trenchcoat]

so who’s on first?

[you-say-that-so-often]

That’s right 👍🏻

[four-rabbits-in-a-trenchcoat]

that’s strange

[you-say-that-so-often]

No, he’s on second.

[four-rabbits-in-a-trenchcoat]

Well how’s he on second if he’s on first?

[you-say-that-so-often]

No no no, House is on third. Second base is Strange.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Well this whole darn thing is strange but what I’m asking is who’s on first?

[cplus902]

Naturally.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Who?

[tornadointhetundra]

Naturally.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

So Naturally is the first baseman?

[tornadointhetundra]

No. The first baseman is Who.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

Well I don’t know that so how’s about you tell me?

[tornadointhetundra]

House is on Third.

[supreme-leader-stoat]

I’m not asking you about third base I’m asking you about first base.

[tornadointhetundra]

Who’s on first!

[supreme-leader-stoat]

This is horrible

[tornadointhetundra]

Dr Horrible is the pitcher, not first base

[supreme-leader-stoat]

That’s not what I’m asking about! No!

[wrenchinator-central]

Dr No is in the outfield, but let’s not worry about them right now.
