The best video is the one with the flat earthers renting a boat, a powerful laser and actually set up a really nice experiment to prove that curvature doesn’t exist. They were smart enough to find a setup that was scientifically accurate, but sadly it showed that the Earth indeed has curvature. The poor sods then thought they did something wrong :(
You rarely hear voiced plosives in spoken German in general. Negative VOTs are virtually unheard of. The distinction would be more accurate if described as aspirated/unaspirated than unvoiced/voiced.
I guess what I wanna say is that German 'd’s are most likely gonna be realized as /t/, no matter where they occur in the utterance.
Tetanus is very far from eradicated. The bacteria causing it are pretty much everywhere. People don’t succumb to tetanus anymore because they are immunized and the shot is highly effective. That’s why it’s so important to get the vaccine. If you actually contract tetanus, your chance of survival without severe, permanent handicap is slim, even with the best healthcare available.
It’s like saying somebody is not the sharpest tool in the shed.
My favorite way to say that somebody is stupid is to say “Er ist dumm wie drei Meter Feldweg”, translates to “he’s as dumb as three meters (a bit more than 9 yards) of dirt road”.
Subjetively, it makes a HUGE difference whether I play a “normal” game against the computer and select stockfish lvl 1 (yes, I’m a very bad newbie), compared to when I select “offline game” and also select stockfish lvl 1. The latter is far more difficult and hardly makes any mistakes (as far as I can tell anyways). I...
Often times the lowest bot plays very well and then randomly hangs their queen in the most obvious way. So the strength greatly varies on whether the bot hangs their queen earlier or later. In general they are not very fun to play against. Getting obliterated and then winning because the bot is programmed to let you win is more frustrating than losing imo.
Leave it behind. It fosters an environment that ridicules people trying to fill in information. I always found that subreddit toxic af.
If they only whooshed uppity bastards it would maybe have been ok but it’s more of a “huehue guys look he’s not getting this obscure in-joke, guys. upvote’s to the left”.
For ages, AAA games were classed as such by brand recognition, not by quality. Inevitably, they devolved into being just a platform to sell microtransactions. The shareholders want their dividents and the CEO needs a new yacht with coke and hookers.
It’s too easy to exploit the dopamine rush playing the new, official installment of a well-known series. Even if it’s terrible, the customers get their joy by ranting about how trash the game is and how they hope the next one will be better. BG3 being an actual game does not change anything and will not reset expectations.
Well, we eat stupid shit like spaghetti bolognese when no self-respecting Italian would choose spaghetti for their bolognese. It’s not the pasta’s fault.
Deutschlandticket should have been a wake-up call for the desolate state of public transport.
For years and years DB complained that they cannot provide a more broadly available service because there is not enough public interest. Factual statements about the booking process for interstate travel and high fares for short travels were swept aside as hearsay.
Suddenly, public interest piqued because of the Deutschlandticket and it was a disaster with a capital D. Who got the blame? The company that failed to expand even tho they had a monopoly-by-law for over 60 years and that doesn’t pay for the infrastructure they are using to make profit? No, it was the customers of course.
What came of the whole ordeal? Absolutely fucking nothing. Business as usual.

Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) is a populist, far-right party despite the name sounding liberal. Ex-GDR is popular for having a lot of nazi sympathizers. Braunschweig and Sachsen-Anhalt in particular are known nazi bastions.
I use OBS for screen/game recording because it doesn’t add a stupid watermark and is free. I’m aware that’s not the main purpose of the program and I don’t stream. But other screen recording programs are bloatware-ridden, non-functional crap.
