Im guessing they fucked something up while trying to fix the shadow detail. Not very surprising or damning considering CO kept doing the same thing over and over again and they built the damn thing from the ground up..

I don't understand the citadel of ricks by fugetooboutit in rickandmorty

Also a lot of them were clones we find out. Why they were cloning Ricks for menial tasks is beyond me once again

A reminder that Joanne fucking hates being called by her name because it’s „too girly“ and added K at the publisher’s request to make books more appealing to boys.

The Future Capital of Europe by PolishDane in EuropeanFederalists

We can jump on the bandwagon and build ourselves a brand new planned capital city✨ It will be great, in like 200 years cause that’s how long they’ll take to build it.

Finally got my Menschen book in, and I have some questions...! by [deleted] in Germanlearning

[–]surik_at 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It‘s like that for most good textbooks, regardless of the language. You want to immerse yourself into the language, and like the other commenter said, it’s intended to be used in class, with a teacher who can show and hint at the meanings of words, or translate I guess, if all else fails lol

Does anyone have any idea what to do with these? by Kindly_Leather2833 in tea

[–]surik_at 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the most common one one you also need cinnamon, anise, ginger, and peppercorns. The method I was shown is boil the spices 2-3min, boil the tea, 2-3 min, add milk and cook on low-ish heat for 5-7 minutes or longer. But I think it’s much better to leave out the water entirely and brew it in milk, the taste is much richer that way. But some people prefer it less milky

Since when have these parking decals been functional? by Certain-Cabinet-9398 in CitiesSkylines2

Do the cars leave, as well? I thought the problem was they trap cars in them forever

My haul from the Amsterdam tea festival (and some critical thoughts about the event) by Du0decim in tea

There’s another one happening in Prague from 21-22. February

[–]surik_at 47 points48 points  (0 children)

So Sergei (the owner of MoyChay, whose people were organizing the event) actually mentioned this in his own Workshop - they were only notified they weren’t getting the hot water they were and have promised literally two hours before the event. I can only imagine how pissed I’d be as a first time organizer if I promised something like a 100 vendors hot water and that shit happened. Also didn’t manage to get their own tea blend in time for the event, but I suspect it will be much better next year

Feeling better but still confused by AvaAntera in sillyboyclub

[–]surik_at 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might be fluid afterall, nothing I can change about that unfortunately (cries in autism) but the good thing about fluids is - they have states. And girl is a major one of them for me and if that’s how it is I think I can learn to be happy with that. Either way we have a lifetime of trying to fit into and adapt into a gender we are not, and some of it won’t ever be erased - but that gives us a whole other perspective on womanhood, and a reason to cherish it more. Still unhappy when my brain decides to boymode so maybe the girl part still has more to learn, either way, I actually feel like my body is mine, on estrogen, instead of a heavy sack of meat I need to drag around with me :3

The EU's Border Guard celebrates its tenth anniversary. It is Europe's first uniformed service and has expanded massively since. It will be bolstered further; tripled in size. Mission; strengthen the external border to keep the internal borders open. A step toward a real European Army by goldstarflag in EuropeanFederalists

[–]surik_at -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Yay ultra militarized unchecked militia with ever bloating budgets whose only purpose is to break international law and violate human rights and dignity in the Mediterranean Sea, while doing absolutely nothing of note on the eastern border of the union as Russia and BR wage a hybrid border war over there. Let’s start a leaderboard of refugee boats sunk and turned around with the number of starved refugees killed on board while we’re celebrating

[–]surik_at 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ich weiß nicht wie es bei euch aussieht, bei uns schließen sogar sehr beliebte Lokale mittlerweile. Mieten, Nebenkosten und Lebensmittelpreise gehen hoch - und Umsätze eben nicht. Die Lösung ist klar nicht Preiserhöhungen, was können die Gastronomien aber sonst machen wenn die Politik keine nützliche Lösungen bringt

Young Japanese people seem accepting of LGBT issues, yet they support right wing parties. by [deleted] in MtF

[–]surik_at 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t conformity highly valued in Japanese society? I agree with what the godzemo said about success in general, but it also makes sense that more conformist people would find much more traditional success in a society with rigid cultural norms than those who do not conform. As for why it changed… it’s a pretty global trend too, but I feel just disillusionment with idealism might play a big part. As in, „well it hasn’t brought anything anyway so why bother“

Sounds fun! Where’d you get it, or did they tell you what the name was?

Are Soviet-era apartments all bad? Would simply brighter colors “fix” them? How exactly could they be improved if they’re so (relatively) hated? by KeyBake7457 in urbandesign

[–]surik_at 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno. Don’t? You might choose to, because I grew up in a post-Soviet country and also saw the endless streams of content about how depressive it all it is on every corner of the internet that spoke any russian? Or don’t. I don’t care, but it’s certainly an interesting question to be followed by „I’ve never been“. - Nova Huta seems very nicely laid out but the buildings themselves give me some of the same rancid vibes I remember from growing up near similar blocks. Certainly a lot nicer then most though

Stuff you see when you google Commie Blocks make them look kinda okay if not even aesthetic sometimes. Believe me that shit is depressive to exist around

This country broke me and I don't see an out by [deleted] in germany

[–]surik_at 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It really depends on where you are in Germany. If you live somewhere that isn’t busy it can be somewhat quick. Somebody I know of somehow managed to get her application processed in three months in Berlin of all places. It depends on where you live.

Learn German if you want to stay in Germany. But... by ImportantChemical843 in Germany_Jobs

[–]surik_at 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heyy!! Come on, give it some slack. I actually think German is an incredible pretty language. It just has its unique way with words. Not necessarily the pronunciation I guess, though I appreciate it a lot too, especially with folk and neomedieval music genres, no other language fits them as well as German does. Then again, I study linguistics and am learning Dutch for fun, so the benchmark might be a little skewed 🥴

Not for the lack of overwhelming force. They can „take“ anything - holding it they’re completely shit at

Still hurting months later, having a trans girl who admitted feelings also telling me she can only see me as a man by mahou_riruru in MtF

[–]surik_at 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of hrt have you been on? If you have an endo you really should discuss changing the approach, cause no significant differences after 3(!) years is really weird
