Fear of right wing extremists taking over the world

That’s a different test and the rules were flawed because it was obviously made to discriminate african americans. But I’m aware it’s not as simple as it sounds to me and leans towards ableist.

I’m conflicted on this. I used to think kids at 16 would be a good counterpart to old people, being more revolutionary in nature and so on. Maybe they don’t have a good sense of how things work in life yet but it would help balance out the people who are so stuck in the old ways that it ends up being fair.

But the reality I see is that they are very easily manipulated by unregulated media like TikTok and would vote for the same extreme right wing party as old people. Surveys here in Germany are a bit disturbing…

Can’t we instead take away voting rights from old people? Also kinda wrong.

How about a voting license that needs to be renewed every 30 years? You have to pass a test that checks if you are capable of thinking objectively or something like that.

This is one of the things I like about Germany. We always vote on Sundays, which is practically a holiday for us, unlike in the US where stores are still open.

I wear a cap every day

Its overall childish demeanor.

There is very little to no suction when the bag is full. Have you ever checked if what you’re doing has any effect?

Please give me 100 Mio and I will never listen to Yoko Ono again.

It annoys me to no end when people do that. At least you are self aware and can stop this nonsense.

99%. I just don’t answer Anonymous calls because nothing good comes from that.

But there was a time where I could not even answer unknown numbers because I was in some kind of spam database and got 5-10 calls a day. It went on for weeks and they changed the number every time. Simply hitting decline didn’t stop it. I ended up setting my phone to block all calls not in my contact list (while still looking into my caller list occasionally) and a few weeks later it stopped. Now I became more trustful again.

I don’t get calls often anyways.

The whole experience of starting up my new (used) N64 for the first time on my blurry old CRT TV and see that huge 3D Mario face pop up that I could squeeze and pull. This was a truly magical console for me.

Many things. Stopped smoking, started eating healthier, cooking, doing sports, going to therapy, stopped hating myself, learning to handle my income appropriately so I don’t live credit to credit anymore, getting a dog (now my second) be nice to people and get nice back. All spread out over the last ten years since I had a breakdown when I turned 30.

One of my uncles is always extremely into collecting something but the topic is changing every few years. First it’s board games, then geocaching, then geocoins (a subset of geocaching), then it’s lego. Now it’s a soccer club but just the merch, he never talks about the players or games. He lives in a small apartment so he puts stuff in self storage or even in the basements of other family members… I guess it’s compensation for not achieving much in life but it makes that situation even worse.

Put everything I need to remember in calendar, reminders or just set a timer. Since I started doing that consistently I never forget anything.

Deal with things immediately if possible or schedule it. That also means cleaning the kitchen after I’m done eating or even while cooking.

Never close the door without me seeing the keys in my hands with my own two eyes. Even if I’m 100% sure they are in my pockets, I will pull them out again. I have locked myself out two times already, won’t let it happen again.

Weird. Netflix invests so much money into these shows and then gets stingy on the voice actors for the country of origin…

ALARM!

I saw that video, really liked it!

Especially comedy is very hard to synchronize for obvious reasons, which is why the jokes are often completely changed.

I don’t mind so much when voices are very different. When you don’t know the original it doesn’t really matter. Yes the general tone of the movie then changes a bit but it still works as long as you don’t compare. For the average viewer it’s good enough.

Did the German actors dub themselves? I can imagine this must be hard.

Do you even care about movies if you don’t watch them in the original language?

To be honest I’m that guy. But I don’t judge anymore and German dubs are actually top notch compared to other countries. But it’s a tough decision for me to watch a new movie in German just so I can share it with someone else and I will comment on it once!
