Squid Game

Folk topic

Honestly, season 2 of Squid Game is incredibly bad. I am in for 3 episodes, but it is just awfully bad. The responses the main character gives and the way he eventually accepted to participate again is just not realistic. Not looking good!

SNAFU

Folk topic

“SNAFU” is an acronym originating from U.S. military slang during World War II. It stands for “Situation Normal: All Fouled Up” (or a more profane variation using “f*ed” instead of “fouled”). Coined around the early 1940s, it was used humorously by soldiers to describe the persistent chaos or inefficiencies of wartime bureaucracy. Over time, “SNAFU” became part of mainstream English, applied to any messy or dysfunctional situation.

kuchisabishii

Folk topic

Kuchisabishii is a Japanese word which stands for being in a mood where you are actually not hungry, but you eat because your mouth is lonely.

Formula 1 Championship 2021

Folk topic

Honestly: one of the shittiest actions the FIA did ever. They allowed Max Verstappen to win again Lewis Hamilton and called it a ‘human error’ that they did not know or could see who didn’t unlap before. Really pathetic. Not a fan of Hamilton nor Verstappen – I am against any type of injustice. To end with the famous words of Toto Wolff: “no Michael, no no Michael, that was so not right!”

Concord

Folk topic

Concord is the console game that took 8 years to develop and lasted just 2 weeks before it was canceled by Sony. The physical discs of this thing will probably go through the roof in a couple of years. Gaming history, people!

LeBron James

Folk topic

LeBron James is a great basketball player, but not the greatest (Michael Jordan enters the building). What I do not like about LeBron is the fact that he needs to say ‘yes’ to everything, while he should say no. I mean, absolutely a great player, but why on earth would you lie about Liverpool, Peter Crouch and Henderson? I mean come on man?

Kamala Harris

Folk topic

What can be, unburdened by what has been. Her go-to phrase. And yes, she is the candidate from the Democratic party, who is competing against Donald Trump. I am not a fan of her, nor a fan of Trump or Joe Biden, but this is just hilarious.

swing states

Folk topic

In the US, Swing states are states that can swing between voting for either the Democratic or Republic party. For the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the key swing states are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Donald Trump

Folk topic

Some say, he will win the majority of the swing states against Kamala Harris and become president again, but I am not entirely sure about this. I don’t think Harris is a strong candidate, but Trump doesn’t look as strong as he was against Hillary Clinton.

Going to be a true nail-biter.

Playstation 5

Folk topic

Honestly, I should have sold it to people who wanted this when it was not available that much. I mean, I probably haven’t touched this console for over a year or so, just because there are no games I like to play on it. It is a huge disappointment actually. I noticed it is also because I use Xbox Game Pass more often, because it is more convenient.

I am going to give Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO a chance. Let’s see if that will make a difference.
