Then you should visit south europe. Europe is divided by the alps in a lot of things, like potato or tomato as main ingredient in meals. But also in culture itself. Everything north of the alps is kinda cold and seems unhappy/angry and stressed all the time and south of it people seem chill, happy and friendly.

As others said Switzerland. It’s beautiful and all but really expensive. It really took away a big part of fun when I went there. But not only that, I thought the swiss people seemed sometimes kinda "rude"or maybe a better word for it “cold” and a little annoyed if it came to tourists. I get it, it’s a small county and a lot of people are visiting each year, but it still wasn’t fun for me to be there and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone to go there.

And North France near the German border like Strasbourg. The city and the region is beautiful as well, but the people are often like the cliché everybody knows and that sucks if you’re a tourist. But the south of France like Marseille and the Provence is always worth a visit. The people are chill, enjoying life in the typical mediterranean way and are often friendlier (and often speak English at least in the bigger cities/tourist areas).

As mentioned by other commentators, negative, emotional news sell the best and the news nearly perfected this method during the last couple of years. Yes, it isn’t as good as pre pandemic times, but it’s not the worst. For me it really helped to limit my news time to max. once a day (like in the past with the newspaper in the morning or a news show in the evening) and watching things called “good news”. In Germany some TV shows have this category so I never searched it on social media or YouTube, but I bet there are some channels/pages dedicated to good news (like there is a new treatment for disease XY or here is a good step in the fight against climate change, but sometimes just news like “the big panda isn’t as endangered as it was”.

I guess you’re right, but especially Instagram for me is something that relies on this numbness doom scrolling comes with. Every other thing has another driver. Like YT or Twitch is something for entertainment like TV, so (semi) active watching stuff, Facebook and twitter (now X) is something to get angry about, but Instagram is unsatisfying scrolling without knowing why. But why let it stop here and there, if it breaks this drooled scrolling. And if you’re in need of this feeling, there is also tiktok (as of right know, until the unstoppable ads are profitable).

Wouldn’t it be funny, if that would end the doom scroll cause suddenly it’s a disturbance and can’t be skipped like other non liked content, so it breaks the trance and leaves the user with anger instead of numbness?

Kein Scherz, ich les auf z.b. Instagram immer mehr Trolle die die Meinung breit treten, dass die Ampel das Wetter kontrolliert, um uns von der Klimakrise zu überzeugen. Denn dass das Wetter immer extremer wird merken wohl immer mehr, aber das MUSS an was anderem liegen. Bin schon auf den Zeitpunkt gespannt, an dem die Trolltheorie für die ersten zur echten Überzeugung wird.

I’m so sorry! Of course, here you go: https://www.edps.europa.eu/press-publications/publications/techsonar/fake-news-detection_en

Both and question everything you read/hear and try to double check everything that seems important.

Never heard that dragonforce is hated, but maybe it’s first as others said cause online metal communities suck most of the time and 2. maybe cause through the fire and the flames is a “mainstream” known song through guitar hero and social media. And mainstream is often “bad” and not “trve”(a lot of metalheads are just gatekeepers with a hipster mentality).

Oder wie hier über social media darüber aufmerksam machen und vermutlich die größere Zielgruppe erreichen. (Ggf. wäre beides parallel am klügsten)

Yeah, but you still have to pay social taxes on top for every worker. That’s why salary and labour cost are two different things. And boy is it a difference in Germany.

(couldn’t find it on any other side, so it’s a like to the bad r page, sorry!) A couple of years ago I laughed way to hard on this pic: https://images.app.goo.gl/Mxz1apkpmAsPTsiS7

Or add “in The Sims” if it’s human, child related

Wasn’t it that COVID came as a surprise for most scientists cause they bet on avian flu viruses? So it isn’t any new info and a fear they’ve had for quite some time now.

I heard from a guy from the German COVID watch (RKI), that the probability for a new epidemic is around 2.x% each year and around 1.x% for a pandemic. That’s why there is a big epidemic around every 30-50 years and a pandemic every 80-100 years. What type of virus will be the next big thing is nothing but a guess and often wrong (like COVID out of nowhere), cause it’s difficult to predict the next mutation of a virus. That’s also why a lot of flu vaccines in the past didn’t have the effect they hoped for (mostly it’s still a very good vaccine!).

Even if it’s not the 70s or 80s, I still grew up with lots of second hand smoke in the 90s. Once a year my village had a little comedy thing (german carnival) for one evening in the local gym. You couldn’t see the stage after the first hour if you were like 10m away from the stage. It didn’t matter, smoking, drinking and just a little music and everybody was happy. And it was the same in every restaurant or subway station. It just felt normal, it smelled the same no matter where you went and everybody smelled like cold smoke. After it got shut down in quiet a rush, the new normal came so quickly, that even today nobody can believe how it was just 20-25 years ago.

South Korea rated it in February and a couple of other countries as well. Wasn’t there a rating on April 1st?

Some people on reddit mentioned, that a game has to be playable to be rated, but not finished (like bugfixing,…).

But it’s definitely good news!

I saw Alien 1 just a couple of weeks ago for the first time and I was amazed how good it still looked. The design of the spaceship and the alien itself still looked amazing in 4k on an OLED TV. And also the story still seemed like a fresh idea. Of course there are moments with stupid acting people, but all in all the decisions made felt plausible and logical, not the normal stupid horror movie group. And also the story twist came (for me) as a real surprise and not like a thing you knew after the first 5min. (And I’m also surprised that after all these years it’s still a surprise, cause everybody knows the alien but not the story of the first movie?)

Schneesturm (snow storm) or Ameisenkrieg (ant war) in German.

Oh yeah! And it’s “this is nightwish” in a normal song length and not “do you have 10minutes to spare?”
