German movie Titel Translations are so bad, I feel like it could be its own community

Some people are also consciously or subconsciously looking for a younger partner, because they will put up with their bullshit, while someone more experienced would not. Definitely look out for that, but it's hard to tell in the beginning.

So, you're 18 and he is 33?

It's said if you divide your age by 2 and add 7 you roughly get the youngest age you can date. That would be 23,5. Personally, I've come to the believe any gap of 10 years or more is too much. Your just in too different parts of your life. There is often a bad power balance and simply different needs.

Go on the date, have fun, but I wouldn't get serious.

Your absolutely right!

I forgot the exact quote, but the gist was that wealthy people don't need to actively collude, because their interests naturally align: Lower taxes, less oversight, less restrictions what to do with their wealth, undermine any effort that might threaten existing power structures.

That also explains why they naturally seem to support authoritarianism and facism, because those systems offer exactly that.

Switched to Tidal. It's cheaper and better quality. Also no AI music bullshit. They even have a tool to transfer your playlists and so on. Although it's not perfect and I had to remove some tracks it identified incorrectly, because the real track isn't on there. But the vast majority of music is on Tidal as well. There are just a few albums that a handful of artists haven't put in tidal. Not sure why they didn't, because they have other albums there, but I can live with that.

I see the headline. I don't have to open the link to be informed that ICE is now murdering people in the streets!

Edit: At least I can just block you, but still: Spamming horrible information in inappropriate places is not the heroic thing you think it is.

That's not so great for people trying to watch their mental health. I can't change a thing about that, here in Germany, but I guess I have to see it, anyway.

I almost didn't watch Spellbound on Netflix, because it got such bad ratings on imdb (5.5) and Rotten Tomatoes (48%, 47%). But I did and I have to say: It's actually pretty good! It's very funny and imaginative and has something to say.

Sure, it's not perfect. It didn't have me on the edge of my seat the whole time and the songs didn't stay with me much after, but it honestly doesn't deserve these ratings! I mean it's a kids movie and it fully engaged the kid and had me and my girlfriend not only laughing out loud, but we all shed some tears in the final act end. It's a fine movie, definitely worth a watch with the family.

I'm really struggling to understand why it is rated so badly. I wouldn't say it is as good as K-Pop Demon Hunters (7.7 on imdb, 97% + 91% on Rotten Tomatoes) but I'd still give it a solid 7 or 80%. I mean we watched the feature-length episode 1 of Unicorn Academy and that was actually dreadful and still got 6.6 on imdb! I guess that's a bad comparison, though, because I expect it was just seen by way less people who rate movies.

Is it the embracing of non-traditional family structures that it caught the ire of the anti-woke folks? Is it just the unfavorably comparisons with simply way better similar movies by Pixar and Disney?

Has anyone seen it and can tell me their thoughts on it? I can't be the only one!

Edit: Going by the many 1 star ratings on imdb, the issue seems to be the message that sometimes divorce is okay 🙄

Found by day inside of a home in Germany. Not very skittish. Don't see the black stripes a German cockroach should have. It's the second one I've found inside, while I also found a few outside on the balcony (ground level), one drowned in the bird bath. I've also seen one inside a friend's room and on another ones balcony. Every time during the day. Looks very similar to the post HairyHarry@lemmy.world made last year.

Never seen them before in my life, but it doesn't seem to be the bad kind. Or am I wrong?
