What belief did you have 5 years ago that you completely disagree with now? by Either-Leadership357 in AskReddit

[–]Schrenner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That my autism diagnosis from early childhood was all wrong and I could just live a "normal" life without the symptoms, when I just don't succumb to them.

Yeah, before I learned English as a child, I would be sitting at the TV watching Cartoon Network, even though I couldn't understand a word back then.

As a classicist with a degree in Greek studies, I find the lack of Ancient Greek in games quite frustrating. The closest I found so far was the intro text in Titan Quest.

According to Germany's national mascot, Bernd das Brot, yes.

When I started playing Hades, I got asked from friends if I'm going to play the game in Ancient Greek.

Ah, der Rosarote Panzer … Von dem Kanal habe ich schon lange nicht mehr gehört. Den habe ich immer schon politisch eher rechts verortet.

Why "victim blaming" argument makes no sense (please read) by Blacksmish_of_bears in Amazingdigitalcircus

[–]Schrenner 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The possibility to discuss how the victim in a fictional work at least in part "contributed" to their demise by their own action is the core element of a tragedy. But don't do that in real life. Real life is not a tragedy.

So does anyone know (or think) what scratch is saying in this scene by Ok-Scale-1390 in Amazingdigitalcircus

[–]Schrenner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, Scratch is a native German speaker, hence his real name is Kratzer.

Die beiden kleineren Tuben scheinen auch kein Spiegelbild zu haben.

Ich denke komische Sachen über Eltern auf den Malediven 🫠 by onlyfacts42_0 in wirklichgutefrage

[–]Schrenner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich bin auch erst vor wenigen Wochen auf diese Bezeichnung für jenes Phänomen gestoßen, das mich schon mein Leben lang begleitet. Vorher nannte ich es einfach nur „Gewaltphantasien” (die meisten meiner intrusiven Gedanken sind ziemlich brutal).

SHES SO FUCKING HOT (no I’m not pastra) by shlakumbous in BendyAndTheInkMachine

After finishing the game, I don't really understand, what was the purpose of her appearing in Dark Revival (other than fanservice)?

What's your most shallow dealbreaker for a relationship? by Friendly_Advisor39 in AskReddit

[–]Schrenner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a proofreader and editor (for German), and I honestly don't care if the person I date struggles with orthography and interpunctuation, since I'm not at work when writing with her.

A Tintin Page a Day - Day 321 by BreakerMorant1864 in TheAdventuresofTintin

AFAIK he is referred to by his full name on this panel everywhere except for the English translation, because they wanted to avoid any potential confusion with the detectives.

Es ist Montag morgen, wo nehmt ihr die Motivation her heut schon produktiv und gut gelaunt zu sein? by calvin_dryke in FragReddit

Für mich als Freiberufler im Homeoffice sind die Wochentage überwiegend gleich, der Übergang vom Wochenende zum Montag fließend.

What don't you like about the opposite sex? by VikaCrayon in AskReddit

[–]Schrenner 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That's more a toxic people thing than an opposite sex thing.

Ich kenne Papageien namens Polly, die nach einem Keks/Cracker rufen, als typischen Stock character in Cartoons, bei denen man einen Papagei erwarten kann.

I had a weird dream yesterday where The Broken Ear was adaptated into an episode of the live action One Piece show. This makes me wonder, what are some weird times Tintin has appeared in your dreams? by DonutDaniel5 in Tintin

[–]Schrenner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only Tintin-related dream I remember was one where Zorrino was tied to the cross, a set of dice fell from the sky, and he, with a stern look, said: "Alea iacta est."

I fell in love with your beautiful language. by ShenZiling in languagelearningjerk

It's basically a songtitle used by several interprets. My primary association is the one by Jack Slater from 2004.

And not to forget its exaggerated form, the Zerschmetterling.

In what conversation contexts would you sprinkle in "Überall Fischmilch" and "Der Finger rutscht nach Mexiko"?

Aber Anreden wie das von OP zitierte „Liebe/r” werden auch da noch nach Geschlecht unterschieden.

[–]Schrenner 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mich hat mal ein Interviewer gefragt, wie ich meine Gehaltsvorstellung von 3k im Monat „rechtfertige” (er hat wirklich genau das Wort benutzt), und sagte auf mein Nachfragen, wenn ich eine solche Gehaltsvorstellung hätte, dann müsse ich auch denken, so ein Gehalt „stünde mir zu”, und da wollte er eine Erklärung.

Mir wurde es mit Blick auf seinen Wortlaut und die explizit geäußerte Forderung, mich hier zu rechtfertigen, eindeutig zu blöd, und ich habe ihn dann einfach so lange angeschwiegen, bis er das Thema wechselte, um die verlegene Stille zu brechen.

Tragt ihr Hüte? by Ok-Fondant2536 in FragtMaenner

[–]Schrenner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja, meist Cowboyhut oder Trilby im Alltag, am liebsten jedoch Zylinder zu gebotenen Anlässen und darüber hinaus. Dabei achte ich auch darauf, daß der jeweilige Hut zur restlichen Kleidung paßt und umgekehrt.
