  • Generally agree with making fun of such people espescially in fantasy.

    I fucking hated it in the witcher series though. I mean no disrespect to the actress that played Tris Merigold she did well - well, at least better that the one for Yennefer or some of the other sorceresses. But the plot is already diverse, it is based on historic folklore and incorporates racism and xenophobia. It makes just so little fucking sense. Though to be fair, little did make sense, the director really screwed the series and the fans of its source material over big time.

    In Bridgerton, yes I weirdly enough enjoyed the first season, I did not give a fuck about the diversity nor felt it forced to me.


  • It’s only been forbidenn since 2018. Before that the production of alcohol via destillation was legal in Germany even without a license as long as it was for private use.

    Since 2018 you need a permit and need to to document the process and the outcome as not to exceed the legal limit of 50 litres of pure ethanol per household. The permit can be applied for a your next toll jurisdiction where you will also need to announce changes in ownership of your alcohol destillation apparatus.



  • Now that is quite a fun game of gymnastics, but just to pick one out and ohrase it differently.

    The Soviets invaded Poland to weaks late according to the treaty with Germany, because they were held back in Belarus, the Baltics and Ukraine, but gladly took the promised lands.

    Yeah right. However you spin this the USSR was by no means an innocent country, nor were they anti-imperialist. They might have seen themselves that way. But that’s like me saying I am dilligent and disciplined, lying to oneself is what we do best.




  • You need some kind of motivation for sure, but that doesn’t have to be monetary. The feeling of fullfillment, honor, acceptance or being able to help a greater good can come a long way. The reservists of armies all around the world are on example. Germany is dependant on volunteers to organise fire departements (80% volunteers) disaster relieve (THW ~95% volunteers) sport clubs (99%) etc.












  • When the coops that own and manage these houses hire creative architects for renovation, you can these buildings to be much less bleak looking. They mostly miss coloured paint. The gray plaster they used is what makes them look shit.

    Otherwise these buildings often have quite clever design in regards to natural light for all flats as well as relative quietness even when next to busy roads.
