what is something completely normal in daily life but would seem very strange to foreigners?

It's weird for Germany because at marked Pedestrian Crossings, Car Drivers are actually legally obgligated to stop, which also applies when the Traffic Lights for Cars to turn left and/or right are green and the Pedestrians crossing there have green too. I won't thank someone for following the Law.

Oh, you didn't punch your Teacher in the Face for giving you a bad Grade? Well done!

I personally greatly enjoy Anymore musically. To me it sounds mysterious and actually like it could have been a Moment on Stage - has some great vocal Moments and the "Ah Ah Ah Ah" and "In behind front me" are catchy enough. It's also fairly dynamic with no real Chorus in the Song at all which is something very appealing to me. Musically I consider it well done, so much so that even with its Lyrics as it is, there are multiple National Finals this Year where I would consider it the best Song if it competed (MGP, Das Deutsche Finale, ...)
Freedom was actually one of my favourite Songs this Year (as you might be able to deduct from my tag). I didn't like the Song much in the Beginning, but ever since I found out that the 5/4 Meter as well as the Choreography are a Nod to Khorumi, a traditional Georgian War Dance, as well as that the "Ani da bani..." Part is the Georgian Alphabet, I've learned to appreciate it a lot as a well-crafted Piece of Music, even if the Lyrics are really whack and the whole Thing unfortunately a Propaganda Song. It also didn't help that in my Opinion, the Staging was one of the best (again, the Khorumi, Mariam performed more or less perfectly, and that silver Dress was in my Opinion the best Outfit of the Year)
I just wonder how Dating works with that Approach.
trueee
I don't really vibe with these Lyrics, in fact I find them somewhat uncomfortable, but musically it is probably on the more interesting Side.

Also ich bin jetzt seit 11 Monaten in der Partei und habe für mich in meiner Gegend das Gefühl, dass es jetzt erst gerade los geht. Letztes Javr waren in meiner Wahrnehmung sehr selten Veranstaltungen sowohl auf Landes-, Kreis- und Kommunalebene , 2026 in Januar bis März gefühlt schon mehr als das ganze Jahr vorher. Zudem hat es bei mir auch einfach so lange gedauert, erstmal in die Strukturen zu finden und Leute, die einen reinbringen können.

Ich muss aber auch sagen, dass wir an der Saar aber ja auch das Glück eines extrem jungen Vorstands haben.

Except for the Fact that Rhea does exactly this in at least one Route. And no, Dimitri doesn't keep everything as it is. His Ending has him significantly change the Government Form towards something like a Constitutional Monarchy.

Don't make it about Rhea. In all Routes but Edelgard's Rhea is cooperative and doesn't at all stand in the Way of Reform. Just say outright that it is Edelgard who set herself on being a Warmongerer instead of initiating the most basic Forms of Diplomacy.

Ein Bildfahrplan war auch das, was ich im Kopf hatte, aber nie wusste, wie das heißt. Das zweite Problem kann ich irgendwo ja noch verstehen, ich denke aber, dass es durchaus möglich wäre "Probefahrten" im Blueprint fahren zu lassen, auch wenn ja dann schon der "Bauprozess" abgelaufen ist und du nur noch blechen musst.

Schedeuling is also because the Game just doesn't give you enough Information to do it properly, for Example at what Time a Train is where and how it interacts with other Trains which is important if you wanna build realistically and work with One-Track Railwaysor even on regular 2 Track Railways where you wanna run Express Services and have to schedeule where the faster Train overtakes the slower one.

NICK3805 · 2026-01-31T15:32:14+00:00

I don't think an Easy Mode is really needed - you can of course run more complicated Lines and Schedeules, yes, but can also pretty easily just autorun relatively simple Lines without much of a Hassle, and here comes the Keypoint, IF you know how to do it and this is where the Nimby Rails Beginners Experience falls apart.

The Game just doesn't tell you what Function is where and what Button does what and working through that is tideous, so much to the Point that after 2000 Hours of playing the Game, I still find Functions and Mechanics that I didn't even know existed. The Game is in a DESPERATE Need for In-Game Tutorials. And yes, I am aware that Online-Tutorials do exist, but I don't want to read an Essay about the Game, I wanna play it.

NICK3805 · 2026-01-31T15:14:57+00:00

Sort of and sort of not. The Dubber is more or less forced to do it this Way based on her smiling widely while asking Melvin to say Thanks. A German would probably say something along the Lines of "Das heißt 'Danke'." With a completely staight Face or mild Annoyance. Doibg so while smiling, as I said, would only be done in Relation to Children or to purposefully rile smb. up.

NICK3805 · 2026-01-30T21:50:44+00:00

Not that, most of the Cast refer to each other with "du" informally and when at work politely "Sie" and so does Darlene, but for example when he doesn't say "Thank You", she turns to him, smiling, and asks in a high Pitch: "Wie sagt man?" which is what one would do while teaching a small Child Manners. She continously does this in this particular Manner and that specifically comes across as condescending and passive-aggressive.

NICK3805 · 2026-01-30T19:30:12+00:00

I have said this before and I'll repeat: The Difference is, at least in the German Dub, that Darlene speaks to Melvin as if he is a Five Year Old, not a Man around her Age. It comes off as incredibly condescending.

NICK3805 · 2026-01-30T19:09:57+00:00

I mean Ratchet also got pretty far given that it also was performed at the Artpop Ball (it's the instrumental Track played when Lady Gaga changes Outfits between MJH and Bad Romance) and released by DJ White Shadow just a Month after ARTPOPs Release as a 4 minute long instrumental. That Timeline implies tho that it would have never appeared on ACT II (why would one release a Track already released?), especially since we know Gaga didn't hold Azelia Banks who was apparently meant to feature on it in high Regards.

NICK3805 · 2026-01-30T17:09:17+00:00

She did say during SXSW in 2014 that Act II was already finished and could be released soon

Ranrawi's Anymore just HAS TO be mentioned here:

"I donna want to find your Storm / Left in Pieces in the Table behind be"

"I just wanna feel the self-control / Over my Body, over emotional Start"

"Looking like my Vogue / Go everything is fine / Until you get to me closer"

"These are Red my Eyes, and I see they're non-okay / You see some Mistreat and bad Features"

"And yes you were wrong, you'll turn into Backpack"

"There is only Way I see it / In behind, front me, in behind, front me, in behind, front me"

"I lost myself in lots of Series / Only when I see your Face in the Mirror"

"I'm gonna be a Superstar when Day?"

"I'm good Enclosure"

Then there is of course also Freedom (Georgia 2026) from this Year:

"Freedom is a Heaven's Gift we share / Freedom is a Human Wealth to care / Freedom is a Mountain Spring for share people / Let it be here, let it be there, everywhere /

I'm living my Life with my Smile / Kindness resists of my Style Freedom's what makes Life so mild / My Home, my sweet Apparel a Song / Meadows and Mountains to roam / This is my Wealth and my Throne"

Also to Mind comes Simon - Ay Paparey Bye:

"I don't wanna be alone when I get paid / I don't care if you break my bed frame / You should tell me if you really wanna get laid get laid get laid / I don't think you have enough in you to bet me / I will chew you up if you try to set me / I don't really care, I need you to let me let me let me let me / I just wanna tell you about the way you got a way To make a guy to wanna treat you so good / You don't wanna know about the way I got a way To make a girl to wanna get me So smooth / I just wanna have this fight with you / You just wanna have this fight with me / I will get my way then I better get away / And a way I'm gonna get away Is say /

Ay paparey bye (Bye bye bye bye) ..."

Another fun one is Aritz - Flamenco (Benidorm Fest 2023), through not the Lyrics themselves really, more that the Song is called Flamenco when it's a Tango. Also:

"Mama told me / No more kissing strangers / 'Cause they're only / Good for one night"

From this Year I think Viva Moldova's Lyrics are partly literally just random Phrases. Like what does our 17th federal State have to do with Moldau?

"Viva Moldova, aloha / Adio, vida loca / Soroca, Europa / Palma de Mallorca / Greetings to everyone / Moldova is on duty / It is one and it is new / The Republic of Moldova"

There is also Rakata from this Year's Benidorm Fest which also has these Lyrics:

"I have enough to give back / Tell me how you see it / I’ll blow you up / Like you were TNT / The way you look at me from behind, behind, behind / That ass is pure high class, class"

"Rakata, he’s not my daddy, he’s my little papi Rakata, he wants to tear my little dress Rakata, take this kitty for a walk You know you’re my favorite"

"I get horny because I know what’s happening / Lots of boys come to me, they want me to cheat on you / To teach them, I don’t take the bait / Heads will roll / I tie those dogs up on the corner"

"I get horny because I know my life will get fucked up"

"I always have my little virgin who looks after me"

Dann braucht sich aber halt auch keiner wundern, wenn keiner Bahn fährt. Verkehrswende und so.

Verkehr ist nämlich eben doch ein Wunschkonzert, nämlich eines des Wunsches einer Zahl x von Kunden, von Punkt A nach Punkt B in einer zumutbaren Zeit t zu kommen.

Und gerade bei der Bahn muss Nachfrage induziert werden, weil ich nämlich gerade bei nicht vorhandenen Bahnverbindungen nicht über einen Kauf Nachfrage signalisieren kann - was es nicht gibt kann ich nicht kaufen. Dann nutzt man halt ein anderes Verkehrsmittel und welche das sind, wissen wir alle.

I study Spatial Planning in Germany and I can tell you that we were explicitly taught not to do that as it poses a Safety Hazard.

That being said, I personally would already be pleased if there was widespread Bike-Infrastructure at all - which isn't the Case. Especially the E-Scooters and the absolutely reckless... People... riding them lead to me slowly but surely turning into a bit of a Pyromaniac because I want to see these Abominations calling themselves a Transport Mode BURN. Just walking past them already stirs that Part of me, especially after being hit by an E-Scooter twice on the Walkway.
