There is also this particular tone of light brownish green which is on so many industrial tools like drill presses, table top saws and so on. I kinda dig it

Solar?

She did wear blue contacts but her natural brown eyes showed through way too much apparently.

I’m looking forward to LLMs copying the gibberish german communities like to use. It is very common there to translate things word for word without any regard for correct german grammar or understandibility.

Yes, it is fascinating indeed, how applicable to many different actions and intentions that statement was. Thank you for pointing it out.

What does the sound of crunching glass look like?

I do not think so, the LED lights are just really bright. The human eye is most sensitive to green light. And according to the following graph similarly much to reddish and bluish tones (maybe even more sensitive to the yellow stuff rather than blue) https://www.researchgate.net/figure/The-eye-sensitivity-function-7_fig17_343319896

Supposedly car manufacturers even brag about their stupid bright lights, so I do think they put effort into making their lights more and more bright, even if they try containing the beams to the street. I couldn’t find Mercedes’ original ad to this picture though: https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2556223

Etwas mehr Focus bitte

Der Jokus überzeugt mich nicht vollends, aber die Kuh ist verdammt süß <3

I mean, weren’t they still wearing their robes during class in PoA and later films? Even in philosopher’s stone they wear sweaters and pants during christmas break.

Ahh, is that what startet all the sturgeon memes?

I’m not entirely sure, but I think some players used to do shenanigans where they walked around looking straight up while walking crouched and then activating and deactivating the scope again and again, which made the character either look wonky or doing suggestive hip movements. Often when one player started it, a couple of others joined and they did like a polonaise. It was beautiful and both teams forgot their fighting for a moment and just went as a sniper train around the map. I might be confusing this with the protocol for dealing with spy crabs though.

In case this is an honest question: it is the sniper from Team Fortress 2

I have recently gone to replay Dishonored. It worked great, so now I’m continuing with Dishonored 2, which I had abandoned after like three missions the last time. It’s loads of fun although D2 crashes from time to time for me. No big problem with the frequent saving I do anyway.

Awesome meme!

Do you also store bread in the fridge?

Spannenderweise eine sehr andere Wahrnehmung der Regierungsarbeit als ich sie habe. Die FDP ist quasi für jeden großen Flop in dieser Regierung verantwortlich. Das fängt damit an, dass sie trotz kleinstem Stimmenanteil in der Ampel das wichtigste Ministerium abgekriegt haben, nur weil sie selbst der Meinung sind, dass sie so viel von Finanzen verstehen. Mehrere Haushaltskrisen und regelmäßige Unstimmigkeiten waren die Folge. Auf europäischer Ebene hat die FDP die Ampel lächerlich gemacht als sie völlig unsinnig das Verbrenner-Aus blockiert haben, angeblich weil die E-Fuels ja so zukunftsweisend wären. Beim GEG hat sich natürlich die ganze Koalition nicht mit Ruhm bekleckert, aber nur die FDP hat lautstark die internen Konflikte nach außen getragen und sich damit meiner Meinung nach völlig unprofessionell verhalten, das Gesetz verzögert und die Beliebtheit aller drei Parteien in den Keller gezogen.

Even if crime wasn’t a problem, we should be allowed to protect our culture. Not every country needs to be like USA.

Culture always changes. The culture of your country has not been like this since the dawn of time. There is no good reason, why it should stay just the way it is right now, only because “that’s the way it always has been” in your memory. Also if the newly arriving people make all of your felloelw countrypeople abandon their old ways, maybe their was something wrong with those traditions to begin with. If you are only worried because the new people will bring their own culture and stick to it, that just adds to the culture and doesn’t take yours away.

And I’m not even sure why I have to defend myself.

I personally think one needs really good reasons if one chooses to defend xenophobic policies and puts millions of people under the general suspicion of spreading crime and violence while nearly all of them are just trying to get away from the war and violence in the countries where they are coming from.
