They still make them.

Noch vor 20 Jahren war es hier ein richtiges Event wenn hier ein Storchenpaar in der Nähe genistet hat. Inzwischen ist es alltäglich an Wiesen vorbei zu fahren auf denen 10+ Störche stehen.

My go is for the Buzzard, it would sure as hell make desert trips and heat waves seem a lot less worrying and paranoiac.

I’m not sure I understand that one. What’s the connection between buzzards and heat waves? Why do they make you worry? We have a ton of them in Germany, pretty cool birds and not dangerous unless you’re a mouse.

I guess if I had to pick one, it would be ticks. But I’d rather not remove any, because whatever animal you remove may have devastating consequences on the entire ecosystem.

Play store reviews are supposed to be for the Android app specifically, not the social network as a whole. Scrolling through them for 30s, I see mostly people having technical issues with the app and a small number of people complaining that you can’t be a nazi on there.

I don’t know about Switch games specifically, but at least in the DS-era, there were test-devices that games would be put in by factory workers before they were boxed and shipped. So they probably would have had slight scratches even when new.

In the end though, does it really matter if everything was in perfect condition otherwise? If those scratches weren’t there in the beginning, the would be there after first inserting the cartridge into the console. I’d get it if it was about collecting unopened games, but them removing the plastic wrapping pretty much makes that moot anyway.

The one-child policy was abolished in 2015, but birth rates have continued to decline after that. They currently have one of the world’s lowest fertility rates.

Websites have tried to prevent that for a long time now, mostly unsuccessfully. I actually think it’s even less feasible now than it used to be, as even if you were to prevent direct copy-paste, running OCR algorithms to convert any image to a text is a trivial task nowadays.

Für mich erst wenn sie wirklich ausgeliefert werden. Irgendwie glaube ich noch nicht daran.

Here you go

War bis 25 bei meinem Vater bei der DAK mitversichert und bin dann zur TK gewechselt, wo ich seitdem geblieben bin. Grund für den Wechsel waren vor allem die negativen Erfahrungen die mein Vater bei der DAK hatte und die positiven Erfahrungen mit der TK die ich von anderen Familienmitgliedern und Freunden mitbekommen habe. Zudem war die TK günstiger und (zu dem Zeitpunkt) deutlich moderner und “digitaler”. Seitdem habe ich mich nicht mehr darum gekümmert meine Krankenkasse mit anderen zu vergleichen und werde denke ich ohne triftigen Grund auch nicht wechseln.

Because people use the All feed.

Yeah, that’s fair. I didn’t think the trailers were amazing either, although it did seem like they were purposefully not giving too much away, which I appreciate. But people got really hung up on the smallest details to prematurely declare it a bad movie.

People also made a big thing out of the helmets being period-inaccurate. Which they absolutely are, but it was weird how people seemed to care so much for this movie in particular, whereas no-one seemed to give a shit about all the inaccuracies in the Gladiator movies for example.

It’s funny to see all the positive (including audience) reactions, after most of the internet discourse over the last few months was about how terrible the movie would be.

I’m lucky enough to have a (digital) IMAX theatre relatively nearby, so I’m planning to watch it there in a few weeks when the screenings are getting less crowded.

Mostly the same as it is now: Based on whether you’re talking 1st, 2nd or 3rd person, as well as singular or plural. There would just be a single third-person pronoun instead of multiple.

Yawning in general is still quite a debated topic in science. Its purpose is not fully known.

The ones mentioned in OP seem to be one user that is spreading their questions around multiple accounts, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing if they’re posted at a rate that would be fine with a single account, and if they aren’t using more than one account in a particular thread.

I don’t think they directly interact with each other, but they do upvote each other’s threads. Example

Cheers for providing a different possible interpretation for those accounts. I didn’t see them comment on their deletions anywhere and as I wrote, my own attempts to reach out to them were only met with immediate deletions. It’s certainly possible that they’re human, even though I slightly lean towards the bot interpretation right now. Unfortunately, it’s just really hard to tell nowadays.

Just did!

I’m not sure either, but there are 2 scenarios I can think of:

• At some point, the bot accounts will edit all their old posts to some kind of spam adverts
• The accounts post harmless, normal posts for a few months to appear legitimate, then pivot to posting targeted political propaganda for some kind of state or private actor

CmdrGraves is one of them, yes. Haven’t seen war soldier, but I guess that’s probably another one then.

These are the likely ones I’ve identified
