Am I the one one thinking this post is blowing the topic way out of proportion?

The post title is clickbait in its purest form: nothing is being blocked (from what even). There is a single issue raised on some obscure filter list... This has no consequences whatsoever. I am wondering why Protonmail even bothers to comment on this issue...

Black Swan is about a ballet dancer who, driven by the demand to perfectly play the lead role in Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, descends into madness.

It's with Natalie Portman and a truly amazing movie. I absolutely recommend watching it, even when you're not into ballet.

Edit: To be honest just watch Joker too. It tells the story of Joker becoming the Joker and Joaquin Phoenix did an amazing job playing the role. It's completely different from any DC / Batman movies and probably not what you'd expect from a movie that plays in this universe.

Both movies are great psychothrillers.

Boy never in my life I would have thought about political refugees coming from the US to Germany.

Yesterday someone said to me that we're living in a South Park episode that became reality... I think he's right...

Moreover, he always seemed to be the one with the greatest environmental awareness among the entire TopGear team.

I heard a short interview with the opera houses intendant (if I recall correctly) and he was pretty unphased unfazed by this story. He said that it was not uncommon that a few of the 1400 guests of the opera house get nauseous during a show especially on hot days when air gets stale...

Sounded like he wasn't convinced the nausea during the Santa performance was because of the play itself.

Based on this random fact I honestly would invite you to my party (if I'd host any parties at all). Why would anyone think that you're not fun at parties?

Seeing this video I am 100 % convinced that break dance battles are the most wholesome form of direct competition. These two athletes treating each other with respect and fun while competing against each other for Olympic gold ist just amazing.

my lack of fucks about der, die, das, dem etc made it very obvious I wasn't a native speaker.

I employ many non native speakers and most of them struggle with their articles and are very self conscious about them. They often consider themselves bad speakers because of this and I fear they sometimes talk less because they don't have the courage to make grammar mistakes.

I always tell them that I don't give a fuck about articles. Most of the time they don't convey any meaning. You can skip them or use a generic "de" to fake any article. For me as an employer it's more important that you practice talking, get a good vocabulary and have your times (especially Präsens, Perfekt, Futur) straight.🤷

Although they may be considered primitive by today's technological standards, they were very, very smart and accomplished tremendous things with very little resource.

They were not primitive intellectually. They were smart, capable and intelligent people.

This is exactly the point many people don't understand: People in the past were not less intelligent than today's people.

We developed more ways to discover stuff and more precise tools to measure and detect things and of course with computers we got the ability to handle extremely complex data. All of this gives us an edge over past people science wise but we had very capable thinkers 200, 600 and 4000 years ago. All basic principles of mathematics have been developed a long time ago.

GOG was bought by its own co-founder Michał Kiciński not BlackRock or something.

"Wenn jeder für sich selbst sorgt, ist für jeden gesorgt" oder wie? Ich möchte lieber in einem System leben, in dem wir alle füreinander einstehen, sodass auch für sie gesorgt ist, die keine Möglichkeit haben, für sich selbst zu sorgen. Wir haben kein Problem mit den Abgaben sondern damit, dass die ganze Kohle lieber genutzt wird, um "die Wirtschaft", das scheue Reh, zu pampern und es Großkonzernen in den Rachen zu werfen, anstatt für Dinge zu nutzen, von denen alle was haben

Uff, als Vater von zwei Kitakindern kann ich mir dieses Szenario 100-%-ig vorstellen, ebenso den Schock, wenn die Polizei plötzlich mit dem eigenen Kind vor der Tür steht.

Gut, dass nichts passiert ist. Bei den aktuellen Temperaturen hätte der Ausflug auch ganz anders enden können.

Who calls rugby "football"? That's the first time I hear about that.

Do you trust Vivaldi despite it beeing closed source? I get that you mistrust Mozilla since they integrated AI but there are plenty of forks that cut the AI part and even are explicitly privacy focused.

The German "Sendung mit der Maus" made THE video explaining how dish washers work YEARS ago!

It's amazing, watch it!

Aktshually he wasn't even German...

She wasn't killed but your point stands: The headline, while obviously being clickbaity and maybe even trying to be funny hides the underlying problem:

Somehow, the dog had triggered the shotgun – which had a live round chambered – to fire, damaging the vehicle and striking a female passerby.

[...]

It is illegal in Nebraska to drive with a loaded shotgun in your vehicle.

Obviously you do as you like but a common way is to put then in as far as you like / as it's comfortable and pull them out slowly.

"Weißt du was das für ein Aufwand ist? Und wo soll man überhaupt die ganzen Steuerprüfer herbekommen bei dem Fachkräftemangel? Das macht man nicht mal so eben nebenher!"

Irgendwie so hat irgendwer aus der neuen Bundesregierung irgendwo zuletzt auf diese Frage geantwortet...

Exactly! In the past, I would have chosen the red pill to change decisions that I made in the past. But today there are some things in my life that are not directly the result of conscious decisions, but that I would not want to miss.
