I'd take it.

An app for wurst stands would be useful. For nightly beer drinking, not wurst eating. Wurst stand like in Wurst stand.

Yes. Do you have further questions?

floatingslowly 10.07.2011 01:17 PM

also, after years of trolling "so and so died" threads, nefeli is the first to spark any sense of guilt in me.

ironic considering you cunts are the ones trolling this dead-thread....not me.

shame

If you care about these things, that's something to put into consideration.

Personally I simply think I'm far too uninteresting for observation. Furthermore there are data protection acts ...

yes. would you say that cleanliness of the vendor, price or flavor of the meat matters most when choosing the worst of the wurst?

and what about schnitzels??

I really feel sorry that I can't be of any help on this matter due to my vegetarianism (since I'm 15). If you are after the worst wurst, maybe the vendor is willing to give you one for free?

I remember I used to like a good Beuschel.

I've said (one or two) horrible things in the past that are surely deserving of shame. sure, I'll admit it, I enjoy making glice punch holes in his computer's old-school CRT, I love making #$&@# rant and I get giddy quoting alfunso's horrid statements that he intends to delete. hell, I'll even admit to taking a perverse pleasure in running off members and just about ruining everything I touch, but certainly, I'd never intentionally offend you.

that's why, today, I'm taking a stand against this hateful disparagement of the deceased; especially someone so well-liked by afunsos.

I'm sorry. never again. at least, not until the next time.

steve jobs was a genius, and some of this shit was funny, but there's much more at 4chan.

i was surprised by the news. it was very sudden. maybe the response to the iphone 4s took him over the edge.

It should be obvious this is how the corporate media under corporate fascism reacts when one of their corporate gods dies.

the ikara cult 10.07.2011 03:13 PM

the belief that making money and acquiring shit in this world is something to be applauded for the sake of it is the reason we have bellends like this cluttering up our collective consciousness. Steve jobs, not as much of a bellend as all these people, but definitely hanging just to the left of them in the bell tower

Peter jones, he's one of the "Dragons" from Dragons Den, and deserving of several spinal injuries, on account of his abnormally large spine.

As i said, he aint as annoying as those three, but they all exist in the public sphere because people seem to think being rich is automatically respectable.
I finished The Great Gatsby a few weeks ago, these people seem to have read that and thought "yeah, if only he stopped whining about that girl he'd be fucking awesome"

floatingslowly 10.07.2011 03:34 PM

I just hope the Commodore64 guy doesn't die too, whoever he may be.

the ikara cult 10.07.2011 03:43 PM

And dont forget, Donald trump is a "job creator" in Vegas, if it werent for him Celine Dion would only be living off the royalties from "My heart will go on", how could anyone be so inhhumane as to wish sadness upon Celine Dion?

yeah, no, i don't think jobs is admired because he had money, but rather by pushing technology forward to revolutionize the way we live and work, the same way people admired edison or graham bell. yes, jobs wasn't an inventor proper, we live in a different era now, but he was great at marshalling engineers into turning geeky things into simple stuff a dumbfuck could operate, and with his devotion to aesthetics, turning clunky shit into beautiful design.

for the record edison had ahdh and he'd come up with a shittillion ideas but he didn't follow them through-- his minions did that.

anyway, it's the fucking creativity that people are applauding.

But like you just said, he wasnt creative, he was organised. He took stuff that other people had invented and packaged it in a more appealing way.

People like Thomas Edison and Clive Sinclair have some respect in that there were probably thousands of inventors like them who never made it and toiled away in obscurity, and they probably had a level of dedication that i can admire somewhat. Marketing men will play the percentages and if it doesnt work theyll find another way of making money.

If you wanna make money, fine, just dont expect me to admire you or any of your boilerplate cod-philosophy.

It surely is one of the positive effects of Austria's Verbotsgesetz, that people around here pay a bit more attention to the use of terms like "fascism" or "national socialism". Of course, fascism and national socialism are two different things, but don't you think you are grossly minimising (within the meaning of said act), say fascist Italy, by calling the US a fascist country? I guess, that wasn't your intention. It's just something I sometimes witness on this board.

I don't want to come off as a pedant, but fascism seems inappropriate to me.

i don't know what cod-philosophy you're talking about but the little fucker was creative-- creativity is not limited to unpaid artists. it takes imagination and conviction to do the shit he did. yes, his partner wozniak was another fucking brilliant person, but he wasn't a business person, he could have been bought and sold 10 times and never make much.

whether you personally resent jobs or not is another story-- you can hate him all you want but that does not take away his visionary (yes, i said that) leadership of the company he founded, was kicked out of, and then rescued from oblivion--after founding fucking pixar, i might add. even if it's leadership at making money, which you apparently detest, it wasn't by selling herba-life or paper diapers, it was by making some really cool shit and blowing everybody else out of the water with quality and beautiful products. he's no holy man, but fuck, he did change the world, whether we like it or not.

anyway, i don't know why i'm trying to convince you, i'm really not, it doesn't matter.

for the record, i'm not an apple cultist, and i have plenty of criticism for that company, but i'd have to be blind to ignore the changes the stalinist little fucker brought to the world. not bad ones, actually-- for my taste anyway.

Gulasch Noir 10.07.2011 04:15 PM

On the topic of Holocaust denial: There's a "secret" Death in June gig in a few weeks. You have to pay in advance and then you get informed about the venue. The keep it secretly "to avoid trouble". I'm still hesitant.

I dont wanna make it sound like i only respect people who toil in obscurity, thats a fallacy of course and there are plenty of people who are rich and deserve it. And i dont wanna make it sound like I have any personal dislike for Mr Jobs, im completely indifferent to his achievements and his products, what i really dislike is this cult of personality that gets bestowed on people whos first goal was always making money for themselves - trump, branson etc.

cod-philosophy wise, ive just been bombarded with his quotes and speeches on facebook and the news these last couple of days, its as though Mandela died ffs. So yknow, i find the Thomas Paines and George Orwells of the world a little more inspiring than that.

It's funny, I'm one of the few that occasionally talk about technology on this forum and I'm usually the one criticising Apple.


I didnt know that, actually. It doesnt seem to have been mentioned very much in the news, so fair enough i concede your point. I still think my point about the veneration of his life is valid though, if youre into technology and all that then im sure his death is a significant event for you, like Gianni Versace dying for fashion students i guess. but i still dont think his contribution to the world merits the kind of fawning that ive seen these last couple of days, and his customers fawning over him when they didnt know him in any way is pretty pathetic in my eyes.
