  1. A quotation from Brecht

    Truly, I live in dark times!
    The guileless word is folly. A smooth forehead
    Suggests insensitivity. The man who laughs
    Has simply not yet had
    The terrible news.

    What kind of times are they, when
    A talk about trees is almost a crime
    Because it implies silence about so many horrors?
    That man there calmly crossing the street
    Is already perhaps beyond the reach of his friends
    Who are in need?
     
    [Wirklich, ich lebe in finsteren Zeiten!
    Das arglose Wort ist töricht. Eine glatte Stirn
    Deutet auf Unempfindlichkeit hin. Der Lachende
    Hat die furchtbare Nachricht
    Nur noch nicht empfangen.

    Was sind das für Zeiten, wo
    Ein Gespräch über Bäume fast ein Verbrechen ist
    Weil es ein Schweigen über so viele Untaten einschließt!
    Der dort ruhig über die Straße geht
    Ist wohl nicht mehr erreichbar für seine Freunde
    Die in Not sind?]

    Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956) German poet, playwright, director, dramaturgist
    Poem (1938 ca.), “To Those Born Later [An die Nachgeborenen],” sec. 1, Svendborger Gedichte (1939) [tr. Willet / Manheim / Fried (1976)]

  2. A quotation from Douglas Adams

    MARVIN: The first ten million years were the worst. And the second ten million, they were the worst too. The third ten million I didn’t enjoy at all. After that I went into a bit of a decline.

  11. What are some annoyances or issues in video games that you're glad are gone?

    For me, I'm glad that online passes were abandoned. An online pass was a code you'd get with a game that usually locked away multiplayer or sometimes items & missions untill you entered the code & downloaded the DLC. These codes were given to you when you got a game new, but if you got a game used & the code in the box was claimed, you'd have to pay $10 to unlock the same content.
