Final lesson Dress code is everything And if all else fails, rent a MILFS van and make your own party

Lesson 3 Freedom is gold. Leave your inhibitions and phone at home — if you want to make it through the door… One final lesson before we let you loose

Lesson 2 Schlager is so not Berlin but Helene has one lesson you must learn when clubbing in Berlin, you will be Atemlos durch die Nacht. The party starts on Friday night and doesn’t stop before daybreak on Monday.

Lesson 1 It’s about attitude, how you hold and conduct yourself. Put down that Financial Times, no more vacationing on Sylt, it’s time to shed your rich boy image

It’s the nod everyone wants. Three hours in line only for Sven to send you away. A door so hard not even the worlds richest man could bribe his way in (probably doesn’t help he’s the worlds uncoolest man). République d‘Áskorza and Aesthetica are on the guest list, but the rest of you need to earn your way through the door. Don’t fear, we won’t leave you alone, we have selected the perfect mentor to support you on your journey to the final. Journey? Well, yes. You don’t think we’d let you loose on the Berghain queue without training do you? You look like tourists, you won’t even survive an hour in the queue, never mind make it to the front to be rejected. Who are your mentors? Why 6euroneunzig of course! This evening you will be split up and sent to two different Berlin institutions. Some of you will be sent to legendary technoclub Tresor. The rest? I hope your vaccines are up to date because you’re off to spend a dark and kinky night at the worlds most uninhibited party at the KitKatClub Stay tuned, your first lesson awaits

Look, as long as Cody makes it I’m sure we will all survive

Europe stop reacting now The semis are coming (Once the final list is signed off)

Every time I check it’s either a tie or one has a lead of one 🥲😅

All three vetoes have been replaced. Assuming the replacements pass the sniff test, we will be good to go tonight. And no worries if 1BF goes ahead, the flawless concept I had for the semis will be saved for some time in the future should we have the opportunity to win again.

1) the schedule is fine 2) it makes no difference whatsoever as 1BF has a longer voting period

Probably 1BF but I’d be open to an old school contest with a smaller final of 32 and 15 Qs per semi. But I think the format rules make everything under 50 1BF by default. BJSC folks, heart react for semis and thumbs up for one big final! EDIT - There is no difference in how long both options take as 1BFs have a longer voting period

Four more stragglers made an appearance after the list was posted

I am curious, what Hardware do we all have currently that is either used or devoted to gaming? I have in my house currently: Playstation 5 (in midnight black) Playstation 4 Playstation 3 (slim, my OG died) Playstation 2 PSP Switch Lite Nintendo DSi Alienware Aurora R16

Theres no f***ing way i am uploading a gov id that can be used to commit identity fraud if its leaked among other joyous consequences to some ropey ass for-profit company. Coz if the id check free then my biometrics and id are the product and imma take a hard pass. This was just so shodily implemented. The uk isnt alone theres an EU equivalent buzzing around in the background an all, so there is like a half block on the continent right now, its so weird as some sites are fine but twitter is even less useable than before, coz im not being funny but that site is only useful for politics and porn these days and both seem to be triggering the shit content restriction (unless its a neo nazi take, which is of course free to view and was promoted to a promenant place in your feed). the one i trust the least with my id is twitter. no f***in way am i giving musk that. Twitters webpage says its gonna use ai to verify users as over 18, or their account age. like my account has been active by 16. surely your ai can already f***in pick that up...... ah of course, its f***in vapourware, just like everything else in the elon musk pyramid scheme.
