  • Ich spiele gerade Gris auf der Switch und es ist wirklich wunderschön. Die Bilder, die Musik, alles einfach nur verträumt. Ich habe echt selten so ein visuell interessantes Spiel gespielt.

  • I tried tinder once 8 years ago when I moved to a new city. Quickly deleted it. Basically every swipe was a match but then the men would not answer, eventually unmatched without ever answering or immediately text something sexual. Oh and so many "my profile says X but actually...." I think I met with three guys over the course of three month or so and they all tried to pressure me into having sex on the first or second date. One even mocked me for thinking any man would look for anything other than quick sex on tinder.

    So it was pretty horrible and I felt mostly unsafe with the guys I met so I quickly stopped using it. I think it's a horrible way to meet people.

  • Men just want this simplistic life with no amenities. No bed just a mattress, cheap canned food, cheapest tshirts bought in packs of 50 and so on. I'm sure there are people who genuinely like that, but a lot of the times I find it so sad when men think they can't treat themselves. And often if they just tried finding out what is a good product for them they'd find that it solves a lot of their problems.

    One example: my husband told me when we met that he didn't like to go to the pool because he was very self-concious about his unclean skin and lots of akne. He was also using any cheap soap he saw at a shop. I did some research for him and we tried some medical shower gels and just a few month later his skin had cleaned up completely. He isn't even someone who buys into this manliness-stuff, but I think society just never suggested to him that as a man he could care about what soap he buys and put any thought into it. For him it was just a fact of life that he had bad skin and he was sad that it kept him from going to the pool or sauna, but he kind of accepted it as his fate. Because somehow trying to feel good and care for your body is still coded female outside of some fitness/bodybuilder etc bubbles.

    He has since also found out that investing some research and money into the right mattress and bed base helps against his back pain that he had before also kind of just accepted.

  • I'm German and I can tell you you will hardly make a living teaching English in Germany. I used to work as a languagr instructor. The language schools don't pay you nearly enough to live and to teach at a regular school you need to have a univerity degree in education. Institutions that pay you enough always require a relevant university degree like ESL or education. If you want to come here, I'd highly suggest you look into different jobs.

  • I mean, neither of them are a good choice for the character. Veronique is a smart redhead who's good with all sorts of creatures in the comics. She's mostly the calm and diplomatic one who can talk her way out of a situation and is usually in a good mood. Casting her with a blond person that has a resting bitch face throughout the movie is the worst offence to the character. Valerian is always portrayed as a bit hotheaded and lazy but also very smart and experienced. In the movie they made him some type of hotheaded action hero when him being experienced, techsavvy and a good strategist is a big part of his character in the comics.

    That being said, the sibling thing isn't too far off. They are never portrayed as having a romantic relationship and (spoiler)

  • The debate had actually been going on for a while between Fraktur and Antiqua. In the past Fraktur was used to write German, while Antiqua was used for Latin. The debate is known as the "Antiqua-Fraktur-Streit" and was going on in Germany since the 18th century. In the late 19th century it became very heated when several movements tried to make their preferred font the standard in the wake of standardizations for spelling. During the Weimar republic both were taught in schools, Antiqua for Latin and Fraktur for German.

    Now you'd think someone like Hitler would love a classical German font, but Hitler found the usage of Fraktur "backward-looking" and the artsy, ornate style of Fraktur not fitting for the new age of technology and strong Aryans. They even prohibited the usage of Fraktur in some publications.

    It's actually pretty hilarious that Fraktur is associated with Nazis now when Hitler was pretty outspoken about hating it and tried very hard to abolish it.

  • Japan definitely chose it themselves. Before, the country was known as 倭国, with 倭 meaning something like harmonic but also submissive. Obviously one Tennō wasn't too happy about that and began signing letters to the Chinese court as "from the ruler of the land where the sun rises (日本) to the ruler of the land where the sun sets." So Japan became the "Land of the rising sun" (well literally it's the "sun's origin").

  • In my experience as a bi-woman, no. There are equally as many emotionally manipulative men and women. For men it often takes the form of "If you don't do this physical thing (kiss, sex etc), you don't like me." or "If you ask for this security measure (meeting at a public place, using condomes), you don't really like me."

  • So, ghosting is bad and evil. At least tell the man you aren't interested! Men are suffering due to ghosting! But also, don't put him down when rejecting him. Men have to suffer so much rejection, so their ego is easily hurt. Let him down gently!!

    Oh, you did? Well let me mock you for being TOO nice and diplomatic about it 😂.

    Damn I'm so happy I'm not dating anymore. Feels like no way to do it right.

  • I once saw a concept car for an EV at a trade fair and their selling point was that it had a sound system to realistically emulate engine noises. You could even pick among 50 or so cars it could emulate. As far as I remember the noises were only played inside.

  • So, I knew people who do all those things. Work long days, go to the gym, have their hobbies... What they also did is:

    • have aspouse who does all their chores
    • Never do anything with said spouse
    • Wonder why their second marriage is failing

    Although a lot of them also claimed to only need 5 hours of sleep.
