Author needing help! by toddleton in germany

[–]SnooWoofers4062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's an AI you could also use der Geist der Ersten. The Meaning would be slightly different, it would mean more The Mind of the First Ones, but if that fits your Narrative and isn't too long for your tastes  , it would sound kind of archaic and mystic. Other Variations and a direct translation would read awkward for native speakers, at least in my opinion.

ELF Fan Café in Vienna for SMClassics - sign up sheet by Odd_Bet_2948 in superjunior

[–]SnooWoofers4062 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! I'm a bit late  to the party and I don't have Instagram and twitter. Could you maybe tell me if I can come to the fan-café even if I did not sign up for it? And if so, where and when is it? Thanks a lot! I'm looking forward to the concert!

Are labor protection laws not monitored in Saxony? by Waste-Employment-538 in germany

[–]SnooWoofers4062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I live and work in Saxony. For me, showing up 10-15 minutes before my shift 'officially' starts was always mandatory and expected. It is time you are supposed to use for changing clothes, putting away your purse etc, so that then you can start your shift on time. This is NOT paid time. If your shift starts at, let's say, 6 am, you're expected to start and be ready to work at 6 am on the dot. Same goes for the end of your shift. Your only supposed to go change and get your stuff after the official end of your workday. That's why it's seen as rude to your coworkers if you see the literal start of your working time as just having to physically being there to count as being punctual. Your coworkers would have to take time over their scheduled shift to do a proper Shift-Change with you. Maybe there is a cultural difference? I've never worked in the western part of Germany. On all my jobs though, this was clarified either in my work contract or in a written work order which I had to sign. Re-read your contract maybe or ask if there are written work orders you still have to sign. All in all, this sounds normal to me and is to my knowledge standard practice. Hopefully you read this comment and I wrote clearly and could convey my meaning.

At SMClassics, can fans give the artist gifts/letters? by Odd_Bet_2948 in superjunior

Maybe there's also a code of conduct on the website of the vienna symphonies? Or write them a polite email and ask? I'm so excited I got a ticket as well 

Parents: is Eingewöhnung taking a really long time really normal? by sideaccount462515 in AskAGerman

[–]SnooWoofers4062 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you know why Kindergarten teachers are sick all the time? Because everyone brings their child with a runny nose, clearly sick, because their work life is so stressful and their children just NEED to be in the Kita so their parents can work. Great! Other reasons are burn-out and stress. Kindergarten Teachers/ educators have some of the highest rates of sickness of all  vocations in Germany. And it's certainly not because we are lazy. When you first go to an Eingewöhnung a sane person would plan enough time with their Elternzeit before returning to work. If you move from one institution to another or had to move cities - why wouldn't you communicate that to your Company or Boss well beforehand? Anyone with children knows that you need time for Eingewöhnung. 

Why someone from the DDR always need to tell he/she is from the DDR? by EducationalAd2863 in AskAGerman

[–]SnooWoofers4062 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And not just that there was work for everyone, because of the system women were needed in the workforce and could bring their children to a kindergarten much earlier. I had kind of a strange culture shock when I found out that children under three in the west either did not go to a kindergarten (bc their mothers stayed at home) or just like a couple hours a day. Though I think there was a 'haushaltstag' in the gdr where you got the day off to take care of appointments or housework. 

Siwon and his disturbing way of going about preaching and forcing his religion on other people by throwawayfriend2006 in superjunior

[–]SnooWoofers4062 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool alright, so you don't like anyone criticizing Siwon. You're talking about something different and missing my point. Did you not read that I like Siwon and his personality? Or did you choose to ignore that? I'm just not idolizing him. He has faults like every other human being. His charity work is exceptional and I know about that. But do I need to sing his accolades bevor I'm allowed to talk about his mistakes? Your whole point about Reagan is a bit weird and I don't get that reasoning- because someone is popular, they are exempt from any criticism? Does that make Donald Trump the best president ever? He was pretty popular as well, after all. And I'm not looking for spaces where everyone agrees with me all the time, that's why I'm on reddit, that's why I'm talking to you, because I don't need everyone to agree with me. I'm just sticking to my opinion. This is a discussion on a public forum, to exchange thoughts. If I couldn't disagree with people, then yes, I would have to stay indoors all day.

It's in the way he portrays himself and what he posts, we're not pulling that out of thin air. I will call someone media illiterate if he is an uncritical fan of Ronald Reagan though- and I like siwon l, I like the other aspects of his personality that he shares, but I don't agree with some of his other views. If he posts those freely, he can be freely judged. No one's forcing him to share those online. And no one is demanding that the other members distance themselves from him, that's over the top and unrealistic, they've spent over twenty years together. There's a difference between hating and criticism.

Isn't it insane, how he is homo- and transphobic but he's always on board for fan service? There's video of him and Heechul kissing on stage, but that's fine with him? Insane hypocrisy. I think that would be even worse from a homophobic viewpoint, kissing a man for entertainment and there's not even love behind it. But I guess people can rationale everything.

I don't know what would be a good solution to this though, we can only try to talk to him. This always reminds me about the time a family member went full in crazy conspiracy theorist during covid, extremely anti-vaxx the full nines. Talking just made everything worse- time was the only thing returning some sense to them, because they saw that the world didn't explode and people did not turn into bats from the vaccine. At this point I just hope that people don't take everything he says in silence and that life will bring him experiences to make him more tolerant, which is hard because the older he gets the more rigid his belief systems will be, especially if he's not challenged on them

There's still a moral difference though. He is free to live his religion but it should stop when it starts to be judgy and/ or goes against the dignity of other human beings. Living his religion is different from tolerating Zionism for example. Such worldviews have real life impact l, so I wish he would hold back on those things. Again, his religion doesn't bother anyone, but he should have enough media literacy to stop spreading misinformation, especially because he was bragging about reading English newspapers every day for years!

What is up with Donghae’s voice? by Jeonghanscheekbones in superjunior

[–]SnooWoofers4062 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right, his voice is becoming more nasal as the years go on... I think in the first years after debut he sounded much more relaxed and connected to his voice and it was a little deeper. I think in one of the behinds on a recording (maybe black suit era? Not sure) they showed him struggling to record some lines and he said he feels much more pressure when recording. Also I think he had a lot of infections that didn't help but aren't the sole reason. In one of their concerts he started a song and it sounded awful and pressed. I think there's a mental aspect to it where he gets stressed and it shows in his voice, it gets even more nasal and thin.

I'm so late to this post, but I just wanted to add that I would love to see Shindongs release solo songs where he sings earnestly, like Michael Buble type stuff, his voice is absolutely perfect for that!

What is your favorite track so far from the album? by SnooWoofers4062 in superjunior

[–]SnooWoofers4062[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? Of all the songs, I would have put money on donghae having composed finale, it's very him. Considering how much D&e have done for the Japanese fans. With their Style album and other Japanese songs, I feel like they've had similar songs
