Like yeah good but still odd we decided it's weird to eat those intelligent, social, domesticated cuties but totally normal to systemically abuse torture and butcher similar, more intelligent, social, domesticated cuties.

Little first hand addition about German (Schrott-)Wichteln:

1. Not sure about it being a result of shitty secret santa spoils, it's mostly just about finding funny stuff, inside jokes or something to wind up your "victim"
2. Similarly, nobody thinks about it as recycling - which is largely overblown by international social media, it's not that crazy or efficient here. Everyone has some random shit in their home, be it some ugly decor you got from your weird aunt, an underwhelming book or the result of impulse web-shopping.. So thats what gets passed on for someone else to deal with. Things you don't like but would feel bad for throwing out.

There are also some fun house rules here and there, where you roll the dice to pick a gift, steal from others or swap the gifts around. Add a healthy dose of Glühwein and you're entertained for a few hours

Nah that one is a master on the flute, i hear

You really made me look up a cellist huh? :'D

Nah they mean the ones playing the piano with chopticks i think. They went pretty hard on chinese stereotypes.

Looks more combat focused and hand crafted.. Is it otherwise similar? Or just bc its a fantasy survival thing

I haven't done that, but when looking something up from a long text on paper, I get the same feeling I do when I hit ctrl+f. Like theres no keyboard obviously, but i feel ctrl+f

Besides that point, what i dont know anything about:
she was also shit minister during her time in german politics. She was part of Merkels CDU which spent their decades in the government slowly fucking up most things they touched either through bovine inaction, or grossly misrepresenting our best interests for lobby money and corruption.

VDL herself was seen as one of the worst ministers of defense, grossly mismanaging funds, abusing her station and kicking off a corruption scandal all by herself.

Same thing for other positions she's held.

Don't form your opinion on a politician by a single action, or even worse, purely by political allegiance.

We did everything within our power

If you're that down bad, days after entering early access, you never had a plan to begin with.

It started with some "funny" jabs at wearing masks during late pandemic, aaand they hang (afaik, at least never said otherwise) with black rifle coffee co guys, who are all kinds of problematic.

They sadly let some questionable connections shine through every now and then. Nothing terrible but enough to make me more cautious of opinions of theirs than i used to be

Great comment, exactly right.

Hilarious to imagine from the perspective of a non tech savy person though: your virtual machine program "something box" is for the other old windows, not the old windows you want. Get this "other box" windows thing to make the right old windows so you can play windows games on your windows pc.
