  • I know it's not really important but I prefer the design of the Podcasts app (Material You). YouTube Music is always completely black and clashes with the design of every other app made by Google. 🤷‍♂️

  • Vermutung: die CDU ist vielen Konservativen während der Merkel-Jahre zu "links" geworden, deshalb sind sie bei der letzten Bundestagswahl zur FDP gewechselt. SPD, Grüne und Linke kommen für sie selbstverständlich nicht in Frage und die AfD ist denen zu rechtsextrem oder nicht bürgerlich genug – vermutlich schätzen sie ihre eigenen Ansichten auch gar nicht als rechtsextrem ein.

    Dann bleibt nur die FDP als Auffangbecken für enttäuschte rechte Ex-CDU-Wähler.

  • It's a bummer that they got rid of the skant so quickly. I wonder if today's fashion would be different if Star Trek continued to show all genders wearing pants or skirts during the height of its popularity in the 90s. Maybe it would have been somewhat normalized for men to wear skirts too.

  • My vote goes to DS9 season 2 which is severely underrated. Althouth I like the latter half of DS9 more -- mainly because it had Worf in it, and Worf is the best {{:-) -- season 2 lay the foundation for DS9's later success.

    The whole season is a huge step up from season 1 which often felt like TNG on a space station. In season 2 the writers began to really try out new things. It starts with a never-before-done 3-part episode, then does some more great world-building in "Cardassians" and "Necessary Evil", then slowly builds up a mysterious force in the Gamma Quadrant by the name of "the Dominion", then achieves the feat of making Bashir likeable in "Armageddon Game" upon which his friendship with O'Brien is built, then does a couple of standalone highlights like "Whispers" and "Blood Oath" (in which Kor, Koloth and Kang return! which in today's crossover-ridden landscape would be just a footnote but back then it was a huge deal), then lays the foundation for the Maquis on Voyager and also does more with the Maquis then Voyager ever will do, oh and in the same episode spells out the show's leitmotif "it's easy to be a saint in paradise", ...

    ... and we're still not done yet because the rest of the season is a total banger: "The Wire" is a trip into Garak's psyche, "Crossover" brings back the mirror universe, "The Collaborator" is a big step in making Kai Winn one of the show's main antagonists, "Tribunal" is the OG O'Brien-must-suffer episode, and "The Jem'Hadar" introduces the Dominion literally with a huge bang by blowing up a Galaxy Class ship. You know, the ship class that we just spend 7 years with and which escaped countless foes unscathed.

    Seriously, never skip season 2 on your re-watch. Don't listen to anyone who says that "DS9 only gets good once the Defiant shows up". No no no. This is the real deal.

  • Almost too much information, really.

    But at least it has lists.

  • I agree. The episode isn't perfect but the first ~35 minutes are decent.

    I'll never understand why it's considered to be the worst Star Trek episode. Yes, it has a weird ending but Star Trek had plenty of weird episodes (which aren't considered bad). What I find much worse are episodes like TNGs Code of Honor that are insulting, or episodes that are downright boring like SNWs The Elysian Kingdom.

  • BDSM pheromone dungeon

    In the subtitles it was spelled "scentuary". Neat little pun.

  • That's how Vulcans must have felt during First Contact with humans. 😖

  • He's Miles ahead of everyone else.

  • Finally we hear the OG F1 Dominance Anthem again. 🥹

  • Probably clipped the inside wall which broke the suspension. There's a bit of a bump right before the corner. (at least in the F1 game, presumably it's there in real life too)

  • Forza Ferrari!!! 🥳

    And people said the smoooooth operator isn't as fast as LEC.

  • And there's the Ferrari strategy fuck up: why didn't the pit LEC now? There's a huge gap to ALO.

    EDIT: and it just got worse. 🙄

  • It sucks for LEC but it totally helped SAI. When the SC came out LEC dropped back by more than 5 seconds so that nobody even entered the pit lane before SAI was serviced. That led to everyone being lined up right behind LEC.

    It was self inflicted but for the greater good.

  • Terrible camera work once again. We didn't see what really happened to Yuki, we didn't see HAM and RUS switching places, we didn't see VER overtaking HUL. The director is just frantically switching back and forth between cars.

  • I just wanted to tune in for the final minutes of qualifying and fast forward through Q1 and Q2. That didn't work out. 😄

    I'm appalled how long it took (once again) for the red flags to appear after Scroll's crash. With such a big crash and a car sliding right onto the racing line that should be a split-second decision.

  • Oh, I forgot about The Nth Degree. That's a good one.
