All I know is that the german Kaiser (same as the russian Tzar) is a derivation of Caesar, so for me the Kaesar seems pretty normal and intuitive.

You mean to tell me that after the terrible STD, and the terrible s1 and s2 of Picard, the new s3 is also bad?! This can't be true! Funny, the only nutrek that I kind of enjoy is the lower decks. I'm probably having way different expectations for it, which is why I'm fine with lots of the stuff they do. On the other hand, the lower decks also has a lot less stupid stuff in the first place.

Not caused by the strike, but it's the result of neglect with the train/rail network. Instead of maintaining the system, cost are cuts, people are overworked, everything needs to happen fast, etc. etc. the usual thing. The reason for the strike are those issues, which are still being ignored. Meanwhile the company heads pay each other a nice salary, and use the rest of the money for stock buybacks. Such is life, I guess. /Edit: Heh, apparently some track it back to Trump. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-blame-ohio-train-derailment-1781163?amp=1

Cinema and Movie Thread: I like to remember things my own way.
Lexx replied to Chairchucker's topic in Way Off-Topic
His german dubbed voice is very good, which is why he is very memorable to me. He is instantly recognized everywhere. Probably also helps that I loved his old movies. Postman, Waterworld, Perfect World, etc. Was a huge star back then. -
Cinema and Movie Thread: I like to remember things my own way.

Loved the movie, watched it a couple times. Have the 4+ hours special something-something edition. I always hated when the movie ended, because I wanted to know how the story continues. -
Question is, imagine Zelenskyy would have fled Ukraine, would Russia have kept him alive or still tried to murder him anyways? If it's the later, then you might as well just stay and fight. It's probably safer in the middle of the military and secret service, than in your little house somewhere in another country.

I always lol about this. As if america has a radical left. Red scare is so omnipresent that people forgot what actually left is. They shouldn't tell them they are responsible (don't know if they do, didn't look into it), but they should explain why and how such events occured. Rightwingers don't want to talk about it at all, since they like having their skeletons remain buried.

And yet here we are, with teachers in Florida cleaning the bookshelves, just in case so they don't lose their job or go to jail. Can this be reverted? Yeah, probably, but for now the damage is done. In multiple ways - it's additional work to (temporarily) get rid of all the books, who is paying for that, who is doing the work? Who is going to vet the books later, how long will this take, etc. etc. Then the psychological damage, additional stress for the teachers for no reason other than spite(??) or to own the libs or whatever bs. It's a big waste of time for everyone involved, and certainly not a good look. On the other hand, america is very big, so people affected could just go to a different place, I guess. That comes with a whole bunch of other problems, though. /Edit: No, and I never said that. Also funny that you are now insulting me. Way to make stuff up, too. I don't have anything against americans at all, I'm merely baffled by the funny laws you guys like so much, the way the rich can fleece the poor, and the way you defend those fascists. Good job anyways, here have a bee. /Edit2: What you don't seem to grasp is the importance of america in the world. Things that affect you has a ripple effect and will affect us as well. If things go terribly wrong in america, it's just a matter of time till it arrives on our shores as well, since we are very much globalized now. If that weren't the case, I probably wouldn't care at all, just like I don't care about places like Saudi Arabia (with the exceptions of the terrible human rights issues and so on of course). Personally I see germany as something like the little brother of america for like 30+ years now. We're always a few steps behind. This is good in some areas, and bad in others. Yadda yadda, I'm not in the mood to post a wall of text, I'm probably too uneducated for that anyways. PS: Just to clarify, I do not have any feelings good or bad about you personally at all.

Hehe, I knew there would be a wall of text about my post. Really expected it. Here is the reality, though: Something like this would never happen in germany. The uproar about such a thing would be historical, with thousands of people on the streets. People like you are a problem in america, since you justify giving up some of your rights "for democracy", not realizing that you lose more of them little by little. You think those laws are only temporarily and will be shut down by the courts soon enough, but what happens when the day comes where they aren't? You're going to accept that? Maybe it's a bit late then and the damage is already done anyways. Your school system is already utter garbage, and then this. Now of course I'm not saying that the school system in germany is perfect - it certainly is not, and we are lobbying for better teachers pay and more focus on education for many years already. It's demotivating and exhausting how it seems our government wants to not give a damn about this. However, on the brighter side, at least the air in our schools isn't full of lead (yet).

To me, this kind of stuff always feels like propaganda. Hate it in every game. Reminds me of The Division right now, where there are secret sleeper agents who will be activated in an emergency and of course they only do good. Please, we all know that if such a thing exists in real, it's always 110% some fascist crap. /Edit: Had to edit my post multiple times because it always gave me some error message. Did some try&error and found out that it won't let me write sleeper agents in "" - Makes no sense to me. Conspiracy much?
