  • That worked for a few years, the AfD wants Germany to return to the Deutsche Mark. That would basically be the end of the German economy, but yeah patriots and all that

  • Mom's spaghetti?

  • Weirdly though while that is still very much an authotarian system, it will always be a hard break on any too unhinged ideas of populism. It simply is not in the interest of the Elite.

    That isn't meant to be an excuse, but it will mostly prevent the hateful or ignorant to grasp the majority of power and change the state beyond the point of no return. The point we fear might be passed soon in the USA, as well as Italy, Germany, Austria and all other countries where the far-right populists are on the rise, without being kept in check

  • Have you not seeing the helicopter blades in the schematics? This is obviously a hovering frigate

  • Who is this going to rescue/liberate us from?

  • Just curious, how did you come up with that nickname?

  • Sounds like beer I'd try, though I was a bit surprised to see a beergarden. Mecklenburg, as in the former duchy and now part of the state of Mecklenburg-Western-Pommerania is distinctly northern German with influences from Eastern German and the culture of the former GDR. None of those being Biergarten-Kultur which is distinctly Bavarian- also a 10h drive from Mecklenburg.

    But hey keep the coops coming, everyone can only improve

  • A few weeks ago that is what an Italian kid did. He git caught - but because he also hacked servers of port and maritime control authorities

  • Yeah no doubt German beer tends to be similar in taste. What is refreshing though is to be able to taste a remarkably distinct beer that still follows the rules. And there are a few breweries that are able to do that

  • Had a short conversation on reddit with a guy from Chile (South America at least) that regularly had a German brewery ship him a crate of beer. Maybe you could do that for special occasions, pretty sure quite a few breweries would accommodate you with such a request. If you care, I'll list some of my all-time favourites:

    Störtebeker (basically all of their offers, not much of a Porter/Schwarzbier (stout) fan myself though, so I don't drink those)

    Lammsbräu (especially the Urtyp)

    Tannenzäpfle Rothaus

    Andechser Klosterbräu (especially the Helles)

    Tegernseer Helles

  • Are you south-tirolian or why do you have a German nickname?

  • Error 404: German and English cannot be reached

  • Possibly, I'd argue that there's more daily exposure to violence in their society, but that is simply a guess and at best conjecture

  • The mob mentality part and the self-justice and eye-for-an-eye-mentality is something I, as a European, find quite appalling. Not only in the Chinese but (South-) Korean culture as well. Granted I barely know more about their respective cultures than you can see from their exported tv-shows and other media. Frankly even "Squid games" made me sick at times. And the way some Korean novels and anime praise acts of completely over the top acts of revenge is not something I can identify with. However there seem to be more similarities between both countries than they care to admit.

    On another note, has anyone watched the sequel to Initial D? Holy fucking hell, the damn nationalism is way too obvious

  • Man that read like you were citing straight from the CCPs guidelines.

    Edit: well, your account is not even a week old, back to the troll farms

  • If it helps in any way, every country in the world has their set if problems, but in essence it evolves around the fact that many/most people are incapable of realising they were wrong and change their behaviour and voting.

    One of Germany's issues for example is that while industrialization has made the country prosperous it also made it demitral to the environment. Those that lived in the golden times and worked for it naturally don't want to miss out their hard-earned pensions. However the younger generations have to work even harder to finance their pensions as they make up much of the population. Meanwhile the world's environment is fucked and we need to swiftly transform the country which is expensive all the while dealing with rising nationalism in the world slowly rising in heat and already discharging into war around european neighbourhood. And yet the same lucky generations are calling us weak and lazy, but insist on voting parties that don't have any tiny ounce of interest to work to deal with the problems we face and actually oppose working towards an actual solution.

    So yeah, i am honestly quite hopeless for the future myself, but I force myself to at least try to change it - I mean sticking our heads in the sand only helps the assholes doesn't it?

  • Well you Austrians still have a very weird hard-on for titles

  • What do you want? The ministers for foreign and inner affairs have both stated that they would obviously comply by the law and would have Netanjahu arrested. He has not come to Germany though, so what is it you want? Have a spec ops team invade Israel and arrest him?

  • No, apparently there isn't. Stick does have its origin in the Germanic language family, however from what is nowadays in German "Stecken" for it's penetrative aspect. (Yeah no kidding here, that's what the etymology dictionary said)

    Edit: just read the entry to "Stück" apparently there's the idea of "Stückelung" as in parts of a larger whole, which coincides to the idea of a "Stock" (stick from a tree) being a separate part of the larger entity "tree". Going by that logic I can see a similarity
