Hey, I know this thread is from 2023. I found it via Google, and I believe whoever reads this down the line might also have found the thread via Google, so yeah.

I just wanted to say that currently (2025) there is a HUGE revival of the uniforms as can be seen on the left (or an even more classic style) ongoing

It might be because Gameday is becoming more common, which is about performance instead of stunts. E.g:

But I mean that such unis are spreading even outside competition, like for sideline. I've seen 10+ examples

**"Schwampel"** is a portmanteau derived from *"schwarz"* (black, representing the CDU/CSU), and *"Ampel"* (traffic light, referring to a coalition involving the SPD, Greens, and FDP).

It refers to a hypothetical or grand coalition government involving all of these parties.

It seems like 20 years ago, some political commentator came up with "Schwarze Ampel" to describe this potential constellation, and approximately an hour later people began using the shortened form of it.

"Schwampel" is regarded as such a word that is inherently ugly, humorous, and goofy-looking, so it's amusing whenever some glasses and blazer wearing political analyst can't help but use it in an intervie

Let's imagine Bezos sits down to watch Season 2 and quickly naps off; but before that, he is shocked by the 3/10-tier writing in the show. The next day, he phones the people to make it happen that the last 3 seasons can be shot without involvement of the previous showrunners and screenwriters.

TV series usually attempt to keep one coherent whole, and ditching absolutely everything and going for a complete re-do is very unorthodox, so let's consider that off the table. It's also not necessary. Besides the plot, the introduced elements (like the characters and locales) isn't actually terrible, it's just used badly.

Regarding characters: I have no issue with Nu-Galadriel. I think her hard-h

I have e-mailed the respective university's secretariat and asked, but the person unfortunately couldn't help me answering the following question:

I study computer science (BSc, major) at Uni Bern. I failed the two modules analysis 1 and linear algebra (two tries, each, so it's a "definitive" failing grade). I have pretty bad grades in these. To finish the CS major, I would have to compensate these bad grades by getting very good grades in other math modules. However, I don't think that's realistic for me, since I am a "barely passing" kind of math student.

Because of that, I want to do a fresh start at a different university. I guess most of my ECTS will transfer. My only question is the

First let us compare the sentence with English's siblings:

In der Mittel- und Oberstufe besteht ein typischer Lehrplan aus X, Y und Z

Op de middelbare school bestaat een typisch lesprogramma uit X, Y en Z.

På högstadiet och gymnasiet består en typisk läroplan av X, Y och Z

What could be the reason English deviates from the usual Germanic method of phrasing such statements?

I am not linguistically trained, so I lack the vocabulary to describe what I mean, but I refer to statements of the sort:

[establishing context], [grammatically fully separate sentence]

[establishing context] [grammatically dependent sentence on the "context" sentence fragment]

Both encapsulate one single th

"Giftzwerg" translates to "poison dwarf" and refers to someone who simultaneously has a really shitty and malicious attitude/personality towards others, and who is also rather small in physical body size, like a dwarf. A more liberal translation would be "toxic dwarf", but "toxic" in recent lingo is too strong and mostly used for personal relationships (with the mental image of the toxicity slowly figuratively killing you), whereas you could encounter a Giftzwerg in a park shouting that this is section where children need to be leashed or something (with the mental image of it feeling like food poisoning). The only criterion next to conduct is that the Giftzwerg has to be small, so as to be

The side effects depress my ability at intellectual tasks, but unlock my creativity (still being able to write high-tier prose on them). To put it into plain terms, they make me stop thinking and "overthinking", and a bit delightfully dumb (Note: I am already in treatment for ADHD, and nothing here is related to that issue of mine). This also appears as a kind of semi-sensory tunnel sight. Sensory perception is definitely slightly altered, or rather, how I interpret it (no actual hallucinations ever appeared).

I also feel happy whenever I take Zolpidem, but I am unsure if this is a direct euphoriant effect (which I would not seek out), or just me organically getting happy over my simplified

My mom has a small 4-year old dog with a behavioural issue. He (Jerry) isn't "aggressive" or anything of the sort. Rather, he is too playful and wants to "horseplay" with random strangers. It's always males, strangely. He "attacks" their legs with a playful "bite". I find it really difficult and unfortunate how there is no other term than "bite" for this kind of action, since that usually has infinitely graver connotations. I mean "bite" as in the way dogs do when you play-wrestle with your/your friend's dogs, with zero intent to actually use the teeth. It really more accurately is "clamping with your mouth (with the teeth hidden below the lips)". He also isn't a breed that is infamous for h

Hey,

Ich suche eine deutschsprachigen Pop-/Anfänger-Philosophie Kanal auf Youtube bzw. Sendung, falls ihr etwas auf etwa Arte oder so kennt. Ich möchte meiner Mutter einige Prinzipien zur emotionalen Alltagsbewältigung ans Herz legen. Hier vorallem im Bezug sich über Dinge unnötig aufregen, und generell wie man seine Emotionen gesünder handhaben kann. Kennt ihr da was? Ich denke, Stoik wäre ein erster guter Ansatz, vorallem gibt es dazu sicher mehr Material als etwas obskures. Oder vielleicht ein paar buddhistische Weisheiten? Evtl. auch so etwas Deepak Chopra-mässiges? Ich bin offen für alles. Wenn Ihr eher was in Richtung Psychologie habt dann ginge das natürlich auch.

The word is composed of "Not", which means a need of something vital, e.g. food, shelter, or oxygen (it's in this sense narrower than its English cognate) or "emergency". For example, you'd say people after a flooding are "in Not". "geil" itself can only be poorly translated, it means anything from "horny" to someone being "hot/attractive" in itself (e.g. "Sie ist so geil sie macht mich geil." -- "She is so hot she makes me horny."), to "great/awesome", to an exclamation for such great events, and is very slangly. Unlike "horny" or "great" however it's regarded not exactly as insulting, but simply as unfitting for "proper adult" speech. If you used it with your boss, for example, he'd be tak
