But it happened mostly in 2000:

And coincidentally 9/11
The September 11 attacks also contributed heavily to the stock market downturn, as investors became unsure about the prospect of terrorism affecting the United States economy.
No as he doesn’t get it or no as he doesn’t want to?
It’s a small flat, about 50 m2, and it’s full of boxes filled random computer parts.
I’m hiding in my flat, I lock the door from inside. It’s private when I don’t let others in. When I don’t want to be found, I simply don’t answer the door or pick up the phone.

No one should go to that website ever. But it’s true, we should have a dedicated piracy memes community, or do we already have one? But until lemmy is this small it wouldn’t help if the communities were even more fine grained.
Peak moments of MÁV (Hungarian State Railways)
Yes, SimCity 3000 and 4 was very-very good. Sims 1 and 2 were also under EA, and they weren’t a cash grab like 3. Spore was also fun. The last SimCity, in 2012 was shit.
I have these bookmarked:
There was also daddylivehd, but my link does not work anymore
Ok, im more confused than before.
Usually in this kind of comedies fictional countries are used, so noone could be offended. It wouldn’t work here, an interviewee could notice that, so they had to choose one, but anything east of the iron curtain could have worked the same way.
The stereotypes he parodises, all based on some actual things, like the running of the jew is based on Krampus and other old messed up racist fesivities. When he shits on the street it’s joke about how the squat toilet (we call it balkan toilet) is still very common in the region
It’s similar when disney made the Coco cartoon, some american sjws said it would be offensive to mexicans, but in realitythey loved it there.
Wdym? Please explain.
I live in a similar shitty post soviet country, the kazakh scenes were filmed in romania, and noone finds it offensive here, even Kazakhstan uses the slogan “very nice” nowadays.
An american court ruled about the Hippos in Columbia, so it 's just theoretical:
“The ruling has no impact in Colombia because they only have an impact within their own territories. It will be the Colombian authorities who decide what to do with the hippos and not the American ones,” said Camilo Burbano Cifuentes, a criminal law professor at the Universidad Externado de Colombia.

There are 170 hippos in Columbia, they are all descendants of the 4 animals Escobar brought there in the 1970s. Their number will reach 1000 in 2035 if they can’t find a solution. They are trying to sterilize them, and transporting them to mexico and india, more info about current efforts on wiki: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippopotamuses_in_Colombia
Ok boss, i will inject it to my veins
Me too, but later I learned a bit of german and latin. The thing is you can fake english easily, like “why use lot word when few do trick” is a totally understandable sentence. Word order is not as stict as in german, no cases, no grammatical genders, verb tenses are mostly optional. Pronunciation is messed up though.
Unlike wealth, losses usually trickle down. When companies go bankrupt their employees loose their jobs. Millionaires actually love recessions, Jack Welch said:
The 2002 recession was not as global and universal as later ones. The dot com bubble mostly affected tech companies, and the internet was not as common as nowadays. I asked my parents once how they felt that recession, when I first read about it later, I was in school in 2002. They said they didnt even know there was a recession that time, in eastern europe it wasnt noticably worse than the chaos of the 90s
There is a simpsons episode about the bubble, s13e18, aired in 2002:
