  • Oh hey we’re in the exact same boat! My parents are from Russia too and moved to Germany about 20 years ago. If the bureaucracy here wasn’t that slow, they would have had citizenship by now and 100% both voted AfD.

    We never had a decent relationship and I’m not concerned about preserving anything, so the goal is to just fully cut all contact at some point 🤷
    Until then, I just act ignorant whenever they bring up politics (like literally pretending to not know who Trump is, because “what, why would I pay attention to niche american politics, they’re literally an ocean away??”).
    Works pretty well, sometimes it even does make them retrospect about why they would care so much about seemingly random topics (because Russian propaganda channels train them to react to specific buzzwords).
    Ultimately, I don’t think they would ever change into better people and any energy put into changing their minds would be better used somewhere else.




  • I’ve recently caught up on About Oliver’s second season of Minecraft streams. He’s an astrophysicist who never played Minecraft before 2022 and documented his entire blind playthrough. No reading chat, no googling etc. He only knew that he could get to credits somehow, but didn’t even know how.

    I highly recommend the entire playthrough, but there is a 6 hour Compilation of season 1 if you want to catch up to current day. Season 2 is about 40 episodes in, with about 4-5h per episode.

    ughhhh das ist sneaky, danke für den Tipp!! Ich stand im Rewe viel zu lange am Googeln in der Bierabteilung und dachte mir “Deutsches Reinheitsgebot bei Bier -> immer vegan” & “Naturtrüb -> wahrscheinlich nicht mit Gelatine gefiltert”, da dachte ich ich wäre safe… dass es dann der verdammte Kleber ist 🤯




  • I always refill my snake’s water dish with cold (so like 10°C) water, just so that she has the option to drink it cold if she wants to, or wait for it to get to room temperature.

    Usually, she just goes up to the fresh water, tongue flicks on the surface, then ignores it for several hours. No idea if that means that she doesn’t like it cold. She could just be not thirsty at all but intrigued by the dish moving back into her space (I always change it while she’s looking, so that she knows what’s going on and isn’t startled by me moving it in or out).









  • He was pressuring his employees to go faster with testing and development, as their competitor (I believe it was Synchron) got approved for human trials way faster.

    Well, “move fast and break things” isn’t really a good mindset while performing animal trials, and after about 1500 deaths, many due to botched and rushed brain surgery, the research facility actually got audited for animal cruelty allegations (which happens SO rarely because the law basically allows anything when you say it’s “research”).
