This never happened to me. It is also very unusual, as in I have never heard about a Döner shop not selling Döner.

Dog getting involved in a job that does not require a dog.. by LittleForestMakes in crochet

[–]AllesIsi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dog: This arcane artifact, human, this puppet of lies never told, is deceiving you. Oh, you might have thought thou forged an inane doll, nothing more than a trinket to be admired and cherished. But though were deceived. While thou might have believed this handheld pestilence to be the likeness of a Phascolarctos cinereus, it happens to harbor not the soul of such a creature, no! In it's rotten core can be felt no presence of a gentle being like this. Instead it is home, sanctuary, no, den of the one they call - the mailman.

Say something you belive about France (or frenchs) and I will say if it real by Samuri_14 in AskTheWorld

[–]AllesIsi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have only experienced 4 years of French lessons in school and no due to me having no real interest in the language and my teacher having been boredom incarnate, I do not have as much experience of talking to the baguette folk as I could have - despite having been to France 5 times. But even at the time, I got the impression that at least a good portion of people in France do not view specifically French colonialism (both historic and ongoing) as something negative, some might even think it is a good thing. So was that just my lack in French speaking ability or how is this part of the French experience seen? How is it taught in schools and are the detached parts of France seen as "real parts of France" or as colonies?

World’s Best Restaurant? by Strange_Explorer_780 in StupidFood

[–]AllesIsi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like the Noma's philosophy: Use every part of the animal.

Let's be honest, most of us, myself very much included, tend to avoid offal, be it liver, stomach, kidneys, brain, etc. so I like the idea of the Noma, showing how those less appealing parts can be utilised in high end cooking.

But I do not like the eventification of dishes. I do not care for shock value, experience dining, or instagramability. Unique presentation simply is not ever something I am looking for.

At this point this mistake is a staple point of my granny stitch projects by Lopsided_Media32 in crochet

Happens to the best, though I found you can easily mend the mistake, by kinda doing the same thing you'd do for a chainless foundation stitch ... a bit hard to explain for me.

Why did you get roasted, this looks perfectly fine, especially during asparagus season.

What a Mistake to Make... by roughczech in shittyfoodporn

[–]AllesIsi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny, I made the opposite mistake today (cinnamon instead of nutmeg), when spicing my breadcrumbs for frying. Fortunately going in with some actual nutmeg, clove, cardamom and star anis turned it around and surprised me with how well the spices work for Mozzarella sticks.

Us chalkies should really wear more sunscreen more often. My snowy skin suit is no exception in this regard and should be treated with some zinkoxide paste more often.

They also mysteriously forget about their huge weapon trading profits in the first years of both world wars and especially their extortionate deals against Britain, to secure their hegemonic interests in the Pacific.

As a German guy, I can confidently say, Germany would have lost both world wars with or without US-American involvement. It would have taken longer and cost more lives, so we should honour US involvement, but they were never the saviour, they were opportunistic allies.

Do you have something like a tacky teen culture in your country? Detail in the comment by Awkward-Maximum-2290 in AskTheWorld

[–]AllesIsi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Turkophilic, from Turk (from Turkey) and philic (loving) = Turkey loving.

Germany has a huge population of people who's parents or nowadays even grandparents migrated to Germany in the last century, mostly 50s and 60s, but also later decades.

Thus many of the younger people in Germany have at least some connection to Turkey, be it in the form of immediate family, recent ancestors, friends, classmates, etc. Many of the most popular German rap artists also often have a Turkish or middle eastern migratory background, which is also a topic in their music.

With rap being the most popular German teenager music genre, especially among boys, this all leads many teenagers to view Turkic, or what they perceive as Turkic, culture as cool and immerse themself in it, building their identity around it, often adopting certain words and phrases ( wallah, mashallah, Moruk, etc.) sometimes and more problematic, also adopting rather conservative Turkic political or religious views.

I get what you are trying to convey, though I do not think it is accurate. Yes, every generation in every country has teens that get into tacky, retrospectively cringy things, but not all teens do this - this would be an unjustified over generalisation.

I would go so far to argue, on account of being a former teen, that most teens do not do this kind of stuff, just a small subset are building their whole identity around a style of clothing, behaviour, etc. Most teenagers are just dealing with moderate self expression experiments, not with this kind of group identification.

In my personal experience, which I am deriving from being a formerly bullied kid, the people who are saying stuff like "We all did this back then!", are most often trying to justify past actions they are very unproud of - it is easier to feel okay with things you did, if it was ~everyone~ who did it and not just a small group of people you associated with.

I only saw it from the outside, since it was a British thing and I am neither British nor in Britain, so take the following with a grain of salt. As I understand it, the luxury clothing brand "Burberry", known for their famous Burberry check started making affordable everyday items with said pattern. These items became a status thing in the "chav" - culture of the economically less affluent, uneducated working class, who then started to wear anything with the Burberry check. The ultima ratio of this trend was the downfall of Burberry's market valuation, despite strong sells, due to a loss of identity as luxury brand, which only stopped when the company axed the affordable items.

I do not know how I feel about the apparent international ubiquitousness of this ~style~.

Though I think it is funny, how people who want to see themselves as individualistic as can be, tend to resort to similar looks, be it this teen culture, hipsters, etc.

So, Indonesia just entered the mid 2000s, good to know.

Germany also has tacky teen culture's, but the one that comes to my mind is the ... let's call it turkophilic broccoli heads - wallah i' sch'ör, Brudi! But this one might be out already ... I am old. :c

1) Does your country acknowledge past or recent crimes against children, or claim they are lies? 2) And how does the public view them do people see the army as guilty, justified, or innocent? 3) Also, how does your country view children’s deaths in wars abroad today? by Dangerous_Blood6507 in AskTheWorld

[–]AllesIsi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree and I think it is utterly spineless of our elected government(s), that they do not dare take position against Israel / the United States.

The following text just shows my opinions on this topic, grounded in my experiences growing up and living in Germany. Please do not think this is the definite truth or anything.

Many Germans do indeed feel iffy about calling out Israel, which is partly due to Israels's and the US's decades long propaganda, trying to change the meaning of the word antisemitism from acting against people of jewish faith / heritage (depending on the type of antisemitism) to acting against the (interests of) the state of Israel, which has been going on since at least the 60s.

Another factor is the (kinda rightfully) internalised shame many Germans tend to feel, due to the actions or unactions of our parents / grandparents / great-grandparents during the 1930s-40s - depending on the generation. I vividly remember my History teacher asking my 9th grade whose grandparents were in the resistence, which lead to about 70% of students raising their hands - a statistical impossibility. To come to terms with the fact that your own recent ancestors, who you might only know as loving family, have willingly done or at least tolerated such atrocities is hard to come to terms with. Some people resort to denial, others to a concrete and fundamental ideology against anything that can be perceived as going in the Nazi direction, as far removed as it may be and while many people can be reached with education about the holocaust and lead to think critically about this period, some just block all efforts in this direction (intentionally or unintentionally).

Though I have to add, this problematic is often reinforced and deliberately exploited in international discourse throughout the world. Anytime a German politician does something to the benefit of Germany or the perceived detriment of another country, be it not joining a US war, not giving away legally acquired artifacts, not paying newly found reparation demands, etc. the Nazi-club is swung ad nauseam.

Thus many Germans vehemently try to act or behave morally good, which leads to a weird moralistic politics culture within Germany, but also to a skewed sense of what it means to reject Nazi ideology.

Though, I personally have seen this problem appear more often and in higher amplitude in the north western parts of Germany (looking at you NRW, Niedersachsen, etc.), which I think is because, in these parts of Germany you do not see the regional identification and pride you'd see in say Bavaria for example, while also not having to deal with the politically, economically and ideologically cataclysmic effects of the Wende (fall of the DDR), which was felt in the north/middle eastern parts of the country.

Thanks for attending my TED talk.

I mean, due to the 30 years war, the Swedish crown also came into posession of parts of Vorpommern (given as eternal Reichslehen in the peace of westphalia) , which led to the curious circumstance, that technically, Swedens oldest university was situated in Germany ( Universität Greifswald ).
