"We're looking for you!" according to Google Translate

the verb besuche (pronounced 'bazooka') means 'to visit' so i'm pretty sure it means 'we deliver to you'

If it was posted by an American, the fact that they acknowledged that different languages and countries exist is impressive in itself.

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Michael Chrichton also wrote an entire novel about how global warming wasn't real and it had footnotes and evil Hollywood actors who got eaten by cannibals in Papua New Guinea so maybe let's not hold him up as a hero of the proletariat.

Yeah I always got the impression that his mistrust of science was more from a reactionary "Things man was not meant to know" personality than any sort of anti-capitalist politics.

And he named a character after an actual critic of his and wrote him to be a pedophile iirc

Interesting quote from Fred Barnes about Crichton meeting with President Bush:

"Though he didn’t say so publicly, Bush is a dissenter on the theory of global warming…. He avidly read Michael Crichton’s 2004 novel State of Fear, whose villain falsifies scientific studies to justify draconian steps to curb global warming. Crichton himself has studied the issue extensively and concluded that global warming is an unproven theory and that the threat is vastly overstated. Early in 2005, political adviser Karl Rove arranged for Crichton to meet with Bush at the White House. They talked for an hour and were in near-total agreement."

It also seems like Crichton was just kind of running an anti-technology grift. If he was alive today I would not be surprised if he started writing a book about how vaccines are causing some sort of widespread plague.

there's a thing in the second book where a t rex rubs its rear end/some sort of rear end paste all over a car to mark its territory, maybe that's what you're thinking of?

You can tell the book is fiction because it shows governments caring about scientific studies and making changes.

Years ago Comedy Central would run an ad for one of those Girls Gone Wild tapes and there was a shot where a girl was taking her top off next to a reflective surface and they forgot to blur the reflection. It took a surprisingly long time for someone to notice this and fix it.
