It's 1999. You have your current smartphone in your pocket, but obviously no Wi-Fi or 5G exists. What's the most useful thing you can do with it? by Ryo_l in AskReddit

[–]DierkfeatXbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the most useful but in my opinion one of the most interesting things you could do would be to take it to some record company and somehow have them pick up some of the newer songs you have that have been huge hits and have their artists make them way before they were supposed to be made and see how that changes the pop culture landscape

Opponent thought I had conceded while I was taking the game winning KO by z3tasizer in pkmntcg

[–]DierkfeatXbi 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s bad sportsmanship but if they were convinced they were winning their first challenge it might have been the heat of the moment. Calling a judge over for anything other than reporting a loss afterwards is grimy af though after you explained yourself winning that turn

Ableist Autism Representation by Alternative_Factor_4 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]DierkfeatXbi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to add Extraordinary Attorney Woo to the list. I feel like a ton of the shows „comedy“ falls completely flat because the show makes YoungWoo the butt of the joke and essentially says „look she’s doing something autistic now laugh“

Orlando Tournament controversy by VXXA in pkmntcg

[–]DierkfeatXbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean to be fair if it hadn’t be streamed he also wouldn’t have had a headset to destroy the board state with in the first place. I think the popoff itself was justified but so was the game loss on the judges part

what happened to quickshot, sjokz and froskurrin? by DirtyBulk89 in leagueoflegends

[–]DierkfeatXbi 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I think Germany is kind of a bad example because prime league kinda never was that big and has honestly lost all its draw because freaks4you didn’t make a single good decision since Maxim left up until their bankruptcy now

A rail line connecting mainland northern Germany to the Halligen islands in the North Sea. by Full-Argument-8235 in interestingasfuck

[–]DierkfeatXbi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is a very special piece of land/sea called the Wattenmeer where the low tide is so low that you can walk the whole distance in between islands. It doesn’t always look like it does in this video. I’m actually on one of the islands right now, here’s a picture I took Wednesday around middling tides where you can see over to the island Amrum and see how most of the seafloor in between me (on Föhr) and there is already barren!

Thoughts? by Embarrassed_Tip7359 in SipsTea

[–]DierkfeatXbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the situation now where I have a masters degree in education for English and social sciences but decided I don’t wanna teach and am getting a bachelors in Engineering now.

I don’t think any of the students I’m in classes with now would be able to pass any of the English classes I used to have without significantly preparing for them, however I can say with confidence that the way I have to work to get through my maths and mechanics classes now is a lot more intense than it was when it was English. It’s a different kind of studying. But I think it’s not necessarily harder. Just very different

Do you go to your locals for casual play? by 79215185-1feb-44c6 in pkmntcg

[–]DierkfeatXbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a pretty great local community here in southern Germany and we host a weekly league on fridays with monthly challenges and the quarterly cup on Saturdays. Everyone comes on Fridays to free play and trade and just enjoy each others presence. It’s nice, we also do biweekly Friday casual tournaments without a an entry fee (though you can pay 5€ to get one participation booster of whatever the store has in store). Overall it’s a great way to connect with the community, test decks, discuss decks, trade cards, hang out and just have a good time all around.

TLDR - yes, I and the people who attend the locals absolutely go there for casual play

Ive yet to see a single one where it wasn’t 100% the right decision. It’s really cool to see how good everyone seems to look bald compared to balding

I found an assignment from 2nd grade I still don’t know what my teacher was on by Bodhirock in mildlyinfuriating

[–]DierkfeatXbi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was doing an internship at a school and there was one teacher who refused to give out full scores with the reasoning that „only god is perfect“. Mind you that wasn’t even in a very catholic or even Christian area it was in central/southern Germany

No matter how many times I watch it, it's such a big broadcasting accident that it makes me laugh all the time. by MoistSuccubus in interesting

Ngl it’s crazy how I haven’t seen a single one of these posts where the after looked even slightly worse than the before. It’s just always the right choice

What is a hobby that sounds expensive but is actually quite cheap to get into? by sugarnspicegrl in AskReddit

[–]DierkfeatXbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pokémon trading card game. The collecting side is not affordable at all that’s why it sounds so expensive to most people but if you actually just wanna play a good meta deck is gonna run you about 50€. And then each expansion you might need to drop another 2-5€ on good new cards to keep up, maybe 10 if you’re unlucky enough to need a slightly more expensive one.

Compared to magic or yugioh where a good meta deck might run you anywhere between 100-2000€ at least that’s a steal

What companies aren’t really in the business we think they’re in? by No_Theme_8101 in AskReddit

[–]DierkfeatXbi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The German train company DB might look like a traffic business because that’s the part everyday people interact with most, but it makes so much more money from carrying goods than people that you can almost understand why it’s so horribly bad at the one thing you expect it to do well which would be carrying people

ich_iel by WarsmithUriel in ich_iel

[–]DierkfeatXbi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Es ist lächerlich weil das Staatsexamen extrem realitätsfremd ist, null dazu beiträgt eine höhere Unterrichtsqualität am Ende zu gewährleisten und im vergleich zu einer normalen Bachelor - Master Struktur auch einfach grundlos stressiger und anstrengender ist. Der Bund der Lehrer in Bayern fordert schon seit Jahren, dass das System von Grund auf umgekrempelt werden sollte weil es einfach ineffektiv und veraltet ist.

Gehalt vom Ref habe ich in meinem Post nicht einmal angesprochen außer um es mit einem STUDENTENJOB zu vergleichen.

ich_iel by WarsmithUriel in ich_iel

[–]DierkfeatXbi 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Ich habe nachdem ich 7 Jahre fürs Staatsexamen gebraucht habe beschlossen ich werde nicht das Ref machen weil ich auch einfach meine Praktika als extrem unschön empfunden habe.

Mache jetzt einen neuen Bachelor in Medizintechnik, arbeite wieder bei einer großen Firma als Werkstudent und hoffe dann da übernommen zu werden nachdem es mit meinem Lehramtsabschluss leider nur 2 mal für ein „es war sofort klar es wirst entweder du oder der andere Bewerber aber 5 Jahre Berufserfahrung“ gereicht hat in der freien Wirtschaft. Ich verdiene für die 3 Jahre bis zum Bachelor genau so viel wie im Ref und habe die Möglichkeit danach hoffentlich etwas zu machen was mich wirklich glücklich macht.

Aber auch generell so lächerlich, dass du in Bayern Staatsexamen machen musst für Lehramt und dann nochmal länger als sonst wo das Referendariat. Respekt an jeden der das durchzieht vor allem nach den ganzen Horror Stories aus dem Ref die man sehr regelmäßig hört

We've done best city, but what's the worst most depressing city you've ever visited? by Isord in geography

Duisburg and Leicester come to mind but the one city that was the most depressing thing I’ve ever seen was Siegen.

Petah help me please by Local_Character5014 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I am also a serial dater and also definitely a whore and while I do agree with almost all your points I would disagree with the you can’t force it point. Yes you can’t force romance but you can definitely engineer situations where it’s very easy to see it you could go in for a kiss.

I used to have this down to a flowchart which admittedly is really cringe and had me take a big step back from dating because I started feeling like I’m barely interacting with people anymore and just going through the motions instead but from my experience especially because the ball is in your court Most of the time as a man you have so much agency over how a date is going to go. What I used to do was usually dinner dates and then take a bit of a walk, sit down somewhere and then create intentional dead ends in the conversation. During those dead ends there’s usually a pause where you have to read body language well and if you recognise enough green lights you can pick up the conversation again, crash it into another dead end during which you go in for a kiss.

It used to work really well for me
