I hope so. But I also fear who’s coming after him.

They for sure work on that for their “beloved leader”… but in the end I predict parades held in his honour in front of a Mausoleum, where a hugh dried up, orange painted turd with a yellow toupet is on display in a glass box.

You know the stereotypes about germans, no humor, stare at you, love their rules and laws, cold and pedantic, wait for the green light on a pedestrian crossing at 3 in the morning, but go pedal to the metal the moment their Porsche/Benz/BMW enters the Autobahn… and we drink beer all day and eat Sauerkraut.

:)

Seriously, the only Sauerkraut I really like is the batch my Dad makes every year in autumn and I don’t drink beer.

When did they forget he is an immigrant too?

Oh, wait… he’s an insanely rich white immigrant… nevermind.

My pleasure.

You and grew up in completely different cultures, even if both are considered “western”. We both are a product of how we grew up.

If someone would accuse me, as a german, of stareing, I’d be baffled, because for us it is normal not to look away after a split second. We also like to say things directly and don’t like waste time with small talk and chit chat in some situations. Many think this makes us cold.

And… you obviously know about the darkest parts of german history. I was born 24 years after the third Reich was defeated and 80 years later this time still haunts this country. That’s why we sometimes react a bit “twitchy” if people use expressions that either were used by the fascists or sound like they would have liked them. I hope you understand my first reaction even better now.

Yeah… those fucking moronic assholes that forced your great grandmother to flee to survive loved expressions like Lebensraum, Rasserein, Bluterbe, Mutterland, Vaterland or Unwertes Leben…

And we germans laugh about that Murican obsession with “I’m German, because my great grandmother was…” you can get german citizenship ius sanguinis (by blood … [as direct desendent])" and since 2000 also by ius soli (by place of birth). There’s a joke about “Russlanddeutsche” (Russian germans) that goes like: Ivan now has german passport, he could give proof his great great great great grandfather had a german shepherd back in 1792.

Those people “coming back” are the decendents of people migrating to russia back in 1764 on their own free will.

So, my personal tip. Just say you want to leave the US because that country is heading for a fall. I can speak a bit german because my great grandma was from [insert city/village/state here]. I hope this will help me learn to speak fluently fast.

And you’re welcome.

The more I read of this, the more I’m starting to think that at the end of Trumps actual term he has transformed the USA into a big, ugly version of north korea… with him as an beloved manchurian leader of idiots and people too poor to revolt against him and his junta.

There’s a system in this and André Heller already warned about this when he said: " Der Hunger ist ein Instrument der Hunger stützt die Herren Denn der, der nichts zum Essen hat der kann sich auch nicht wehren. " (Hunger is an instrument, hunger supports the masters, because those that have nothing to eat can’t fight back!)

Depends. I know some nirses that work as “OP Schwestern” and they make good money.

But you can not compare a german Krankenpflegerin/Krankenpfleger with an US Nurse.

Unless you’re some of those “good christians” trying to teach you their fairy tales with sword and flame…

You shouldn’t say that “motherland” phrase so loud. Nobody cares, but it makes you one of those Muricans we try to avoid.

Nobody here cares about ancestry like americans do.

Your great grandma came from Germany. Was your grandma a german citizen? Was your mother a german citizen? No? You are not intitled to german citizenship anymore. You’re a full blown american with a great grandma that migrated to the USA. I’m sorry to blow your bubble, that ship has left the harbor.

Also not always the best choice. Here in Germany the farthest left party is BSW and those are those that would crawl up Tsar Putin’s ass in an instant, that basically think you should talk to the bully and he’ll come to its senses and stops bullying others. So, the highest level of disillusion you can imagine. Even the green party has finally realised the only way to deal with bullies is NOT to “give in and be the better person”.

Tbf most migrants are either damn smart, hard workers or damn smart hard workers.

So, for a good future we should welcome them!

I was riding the first RGB bling bling wave back in the early 2ks and after a while I got sooooooooooooo annoyed by every light my PC emitted.

Same today.

I give a frog about RGB and when I bought my actual PCs back in early 2024 I used an old Chieftec case I had standing around for the first and bought a cheap case of Amazon that has no glass.

Both stand in a way that air can circulate and the PC stays cool, but light is blocked.

Mistakes happen… /s

Hmmmm, instead of Tropico 7 the next iteration should be “Muricana”. Imagine the game with that much space to play a dictator in a Police state!

I think preventing any unnecessary bloodshed should be first priority.

Someone should bankrupt Bill Ackman!

Yes, why do people never learn from history… Especially when it endangers their lives

Damnit I remember the frogging digits of the telefonnumber we had in out flat from where we lived until 1980!

They are eating the ducks… they are eating the ducks and geese… they are eating the food of the people that live there!

It also is a necessity to keep the USA from going Putin… Trump wouldn’t stop wanting to be a King. As a King he’d work on becoming the Emperor. As Caesar Donald the step to becoming the god emperor isn’t that big…
