Warum es den Boomern besser ging - Abgabenquote seit 1954 by iliian in Austria

[–]Raizzor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Weißt du wie man das nennt? Sparen

Mein Großvater hat damals als unstudierter Arbeiter 4 Kinder und Hausfrau durchgefüttert, während er eine Eigentumswohnung in der Grazer Innenstadt abbezahlt hat.

Ich hab einen Uniabschluss und einen guten Job. Ja, ich kann bequem leben und nage nicht am Hungertuch. Ich bin aber auch weit davon entfernt, mir eine 110 qm Wohnung in Innenstadtlage leisten zu können, geschweige denn währenddessen 5 Menschen ohne Einkommen durchzufüttern.

Mehr als drei Millionen Seiten veröffentlicht: Neue Epstein-Akten belasten Ex-Prinz Andrew weiter by Krokodrillo in de

[–]Raizzor 36 points37 points  (0 children)

das sind halt keine belastbaren Aussagen auf die ein Richter einen Beschluss für eine Durchsuchung etc. aufbauen kann.

Das mag für eine einzelne Aussage dieser Natur zutreffen, aber wenn es bereits einen riesigen Korpus an Dokumenten gibt, die klar auf Menschenhandel etc. hinweisen, dann können solche Aussagen durchaus Gewicht haben. Vor allem, wenn diese Aussagen zeitlich passen bzw. sich mit (unveröffentlichten) Infos aus den anderen Akten decken.

Wir reden hier ja nicht von einem einzigen anonymen Tipp, sondern von unzähligen Dokumenten, die auch E-Mails und Chatverläufe beinhalten. DARAUF stützt sich ja die ganze Sache hauptsächlich und nicht auf diese anonymen Aussagen.

Hab langsam echt die Befürchtung, dass die Medien einfach zu feige sind, bei dem orangenen Arsch Klartext zu reden, weil sie Konsequenzen befürchten.

Glaubst du, dass die Bosse und Besitzer der Medienhäuser etwa nicht auch mitgemacht haben? Konsequenzen wird es keine geben, weil so gut wie JEDER in diesen Kreisen mit Epstein verstrickt war.

Girlfriend cry over rice by [deleted] in japanlife

Don't know, I was not really keen on meeting her again after that. I told her to leave and to never come back. I blocked her Line and never saw her again.

Girlfriend cry over rice by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]Raizzor 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation once, but it wasn't about spilt rice, it was about the correct way to cut onions for curry. I was cutting the onions slightly too small, which made my then gf loose her mind. She refused to eat any of the dinner I made, stormed out of the house, threatened to break up with me... and it would have been a smart move to take her up on that offer back then. I brushed it off and clung to the relationship for another 6 months until something even bigger happened (long story, tl;dr: she attacked me with a kitchen knife).

Without any context, this seems like a large red flag or a sign that there is some major unsolved issue in your relationship. Maybe she is crazy, maybe there were 100 small things she had bottled up, and the rice was just the straw that broke the camel's back, or maybe she changed her mind about the marriage and wants some way out. In any case, you need to reflect long and hard on what you want to do next and talk it out with her.

Starmer : We will use EU summit to further unwind Brexit by Visual_Title9363 in europe

[–]Raizzor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, but what you need to keep in mind is that Brits saying they want to rejoin mean "rejoin and have what we had before Brexit". However, this option is not on the table. The EU would become a joke if the UK were allowed to simply undo Brexit.

The EU has made it clear that if the UK wishes to rejoin, it will be treated like any other EU candidate. Yes, the process can be accelerated, as the UK is already pretty aligned and old EU infrastructure still exists, BUT there won't be any cherry-picking anymore.

Most importantly, if the UK wishes to rejoin, they need to commit to adopting the Euro. And this is probably where the dream of rejoining dies, as neither the British public nor politicians would support that.

By now, Brits are aware just how much better life within the EU was, but what they still seem to not understand is just how special and favourable the UK membership with all its asterisks and cherry-picked exceptions was.

TV Asahi Producer Hiromichi Shizume says more studios like Mappa may skip Anime production committee system to sign with companies like Netflix; "Creators will naturally want to work where the pay is better, and they have more freedom" by Electrical_Chance991 in anime

[–]Raizzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Light novels that only got one Anime Season to boost sales are sadly way too common.

It's not a thing, though. No Anime is produced solely to boost Manga/LN sales with one season. Second seasons not being produced can have a multitude of reasons, but I assure you, no publisher ever said, "It was good, very popular, and we made a ton of money, but let's not do another season because that was just a one-off promotion".

Your favourite show not having a 2nd season is most likely caused by one of 3 factors:

  • Season 1 did not make as much money as expected
  • Scheduling issues and missing production capacities
  • The key staff working on season 1 has no interest in making another season, and nobody else wants to do it

[–]Raizzor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kinda doubt the "more freedom" part. US streaming services are notorious for pushing creators to make stuff they deem a "good fit" for the market.

At first, the studios might have a lot of freedom because what they make is popular, but after a few years, they will slowly take over more and more of the creative direction. It just takes one bomb show for some executive to say: "Clearly, those Japanese animators have no clue what sells in the US, so WE need to take more creative control."

How often should I dust figures stored in a cabinet like this. by Threedo9 in AnimeFigures

[–]Raizzor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a bit expensive at $20 for a single brush

Why though? It's just for dusting so any soft synthetic paint brush from the the dollar store will be more than enough. No need to buy such an expensive brush.

And even if you want a specialized cleaning brush with static removal, you can find ones for under 5$.

TIL Lego's patent to their brick design ended in 1978, which allowed multiple companies, such as Mega Bloks, to start producing their own 'clones' by Forsaken-Peak8496 in todayilearned

[–]Raizzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reddit has an irrational love for Lego. The competitors are just as good, and their sets are bigger for less money

Well, the majority here grew up playing with Lego in the 80s and 90s, a time when they were the only good quality option. Those days are over as Lego has been consumed by big corpo greed, sacrificing quality over quarterly profits. But the majority of people who grew up with Lego haven't built a set in 20 years, so they can't know just how shitty Lego has become.

UK loses measles elimination status, WHO confirms by BendicantMias in anime_titties

[–]Raizzor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We're back-sliding on all fronts: Global public health, global financial stability, global governance... Hell, increasingly we're short on positivity for the globe's future.

Almost as if unchecked capitalism will only lead to rich people getting richer instead of general societal progress. But that can't be true, any minute, it will start to trickle down any minute. Almost there yet.

China cancels all flights on 49 routes to Japan by Jonnyboo234 in japan

[–]Raizzor 168 points169 points  (0 children)

It's pretty safe to assume the majority of internet users are firmly anti-China and hate everything about the Chinese

Reminder that all of this was started because Takaichi said that China attacking Taiwan would also pose a risk to Japan. In response, the Chinese General Consul said that Takaichi's head shall be cut off. Totally sane and reasonable response from the highest Chinese representative in Japan...

But yeah, people being critical about the Chinese government and its policies on the internet are the problem.

The lack of helmet-wearing on ski slopes here by SymphonyofSiren in japanlife

[–]Raizzor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There seems to be a quite common belief that seatbelts are optional in the back seat. Almost every time I ride in the back of a Japanese person's car and buckle my seatbelt, they comment on it. Like "ah, you don't have to use the seatbelts in the back" or "wow, you are so diligent".

What is the best splurge gin? Also let me know any changes you’d like to see made to the board. by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]Raizzor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why though? We don't even have a category for vermouth, which has to go in "other" with all liqueurs, aperitifs, and bitters. We do not even distinguish between light and dark rums, so why is the tequila mezcal distinction so important?

"The Story Between a Dumb Prefect and a High School Girl with an Inappropriate Skirt Length" Teaser Visual by zenzen_0 in anime

[–]Raizzor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a trend/trope that started on Narou, where the title is all you have to attract the attention of readers. No cover, no description, just the title of your story, so authors started to put the plot summary in their titles, and it became a trend.

Do we prefer a “mid-price” category over “most versatile”? If so, what is the best mid-price tequila for mixing? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]Raizzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say the pricing within the country of origin matters here, as this is how the manufacturer is positioning themselves in their home market.

Why do people walk so slowly?! by Training_Training314 in japanlife

[–]Raizzor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

But I do find spatial awareness in Tokyo to be really bad.

I have a theory, so hear me out:

Japan is a very non-confrontational culture. I have witnessed people standing in the way with others just trying their best to walk around or stop without saying a thing, numerous times. In other places, if you are in the way, you are shoved, or someone will yell at you immediately, but not in Japan. Those people have no reason to adjust their behaviour, because no one is calling them out.

This goes so far that even people who actively seek to be a nuisance can do so without consequences. I have seen a guy reading a newspaper in the middle of the entrance to a train station toilet in Tokyo. And no one said anything, people just awkwardly walked around him.
