My condolences… do you guys like, work at night? 44C sounds completely intolerable to me lol

Fucking 33C today here in germany. I hope every climate change denier has to spend a week doing manual labor in this insanity

Twitter had a tweeting bird. Mastodon has a, well, tooting mastodon.

🤨 you will probably want to ask your tutor for your money back.

“Shmatterling” is likely the closest sounding english approximation.

i have a very sensitive nose, and let me tell you i have not met a single person who says of themselves they don’t smell and actually don’t, they absolutely do. We are just used to our own and dont register it unless it gets intense.

I’m not saying you should bathe in perfume or obsessively rinse your scalp with bleach, just that if people go several days without using soap on themselves I 100% always smell them. For hair it isn’t much different.

What annoys me personally about it (to the point that i blocked the commonity) is that it is mandatory. That’s not humor, or funny, that is weird performative scripted humor. I often felt reminded of carnival speeches.

I’d also argue that it isnt very successful in clearing anglicisms from the german vernacular when it is all about making the most incorrect and cryptic literal translation imaginable to the point that nobody could understand unless they are well versed in those anglicisms.

If you do not apply some sort of (proven) cleaning agent to your hair on a reasonably frequent basis, i dont care how in touch with nature and your primal self you are, you stink. If you dont want to deal with the maintenance cut it off, rocking the wrecking ball aesthetic is pretty great actually.

it is only me_irl in name though, it is a general meme / conversational community with the obnoxious (and over used to death) in joke that is zangendeutsch.

They didn’t add exciting exploration in the first place so it makes sense they would drop the pretense

This is the publishing house in question. It has a decidedly conservative bias and has often been considered a sort of shadow power behind the throne with its immense reach and influence; able to significantly affect the political discourse and public opinion. You could probably compare them to the Murdoch / fox news empire in many ways.

Not a PR issue, a coordinated media bias issue. A great number of german media is owned in one way or another by the Springer company, and as such a small group of very rich kingmakers. The current government isnt conservative so they get the most hostile coverage imaginable, on purpose.

The context is a post I haven’t seen got removed and you made another post described as dumbed down so every idiot can get it, seasoned with some mod salt. That’s not how you successfully engage with people

Stargate OC -> i upvote

Bitching and moaning I don’t have the context to -> I downvote

Utopia hands down, it was the first dlc for the game and added many features now considered core parts of it. Federations is also a must in my opinion, but that is more up to personal taste.

Aside from those two I would just read up on the packs and buy what sounds cool to me. At least that’s how I did it back in the day when I started playing.

E: also note that paradox recently introduced a subscription model as well, which gives you full access to all dlc while you are subbed. This may be a great option to dip your toes and try out the content before buying it.
