Wasn't it that COVID came as a surprise for most scientists cause they bet on avian flu viruses? So it isn't any new info and a fear they've had for quite some time now.

I heard from a guy from the German COVID watch (RKI), that the probability for a new epidemic is around 2.x% each year and around 1.x% for a pandemic. That's why there is a big epidemic around every 30-50 years and a pandemic every 80-100 years. What type of virus will be the next big thing is nothing but a guess and often wrong (like COVID out of nowhere), cause it's difficult to predict the next mutation of a virus. That's also why a lot of flu vaccines in the past didn't have the effect they hoped for (mostly it's still a very good vaccine!).

Even if it's not the 70s or 80s, I still grew up with lots of second hand smoke in the 90s. Once a year my village had a little comedy thing (german carnival) for one evening in the local gym. You couldn't see the stage after the first hour if you were like 10m away from the stage. It didn't matter, smoking, drinking and just a little music and everybody was happy. And it was the same in every restaurant or subway station. It just felt normal, it smelled the same no matter where you went and everybody smelled like cold smoke. After it got shut down in quiet a rush, the new normal came so quickly, that even today nobody can believe how it was just 20-25 years ago.

South Korea rated it in February and a couple of other countries as well. Wasn't there a rating on April 1st?

Some people on reddit mentioned, that a game has to be playable to be rated, but not finished (like bugfixing,...).

But it's definitely good news!

I saw Alien 1 just a couple of weeks ago for the first time and I was amazed how good it still looked. The design of the spaceship and the alien itself still looked amazing in 4k on an OLED TV. And also the story still seemed like a fresh idea. Of course there are moments with stupid acting people, but all in all the decisions made felt plausible and logical, not the normal stupid horror movie group. And also the story twist came (for me) as a real surprise and not like a thing you knew after the first 5min. (And I'm also surprised that after all these years it's still a surprise, cause everybody knows the alien but not the story of the first movie?)

Ich glaube zwar nicht, das sie das Personal dazu haben, aber von der Mentalität her, würds mich absolut nicht wundern, wenn da in ein paar Wochen jemand anklopft

Oh yeah! And it's "this is nightwish" in a normal song length and not "do you have 10minutes to spare?"

Always love it seeing/hearing it live. But I think "Ghost love score" is even better, especially the Wacken 2013 version. Those last notes!

Oh absolutely! And I really don't know the names and all, but I heard a lot of great scientists and authors just stole the work of their wives and never really accomplished anything other than stealing (which was totally fine during those times). I can't imagine how much rage and anger those women felt. So helpless and in the best cases belittled...

Oh definitely! And not only cause humankind tend to forget something. We are a really western, at best on top asian and arabic region focused society. So we wouldn't know if a guy in South America figured out the earth is round or saw gravitation like Newtown.

Edit: and if you wanna read about how much Christianity destroyed knowledge everywhere they went. I would say chances are 99,9999% someone got erased from history
