If they’re thinking at all… it’s likely less drone, more “leather trench coat, sleek sunglasses, uzis, katanas, and bullet time”

…by working 370,000 times slaves in his daddy’s emerald mine harder than the rest of us.

Fixed that for you.

Good thing Ocean’s Gate already started that process for us.

He really would have done well as the lead in a fictional Michael Jackson biopic that’s an alternate retelling of how his life took a turn in the mid/late 90s, when he discovers that he’s actually in the Matrix and is the one. And instead of Annie, we’re asking “Neo, are you okay? Are you o.k. ne-o? – Sha-mona”

Hmm, well, best to avoid watching the “how it’s made” about sutures then.

I’m sorry you’ve lost so many friends.

“An exceptionally small minority of people…”

You dropped this.

Seriously, who calls it the Fourth Reich?

That Disney’s hill guy really seems to like Disney movies

To quote Bubba Gump:

Anyway, like I was sayin’, [billionaire] is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There’s uh, [billionaire]-kabobs, [billionaire] creole, [billionaire] gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple [billionaire], lemon [billionaire], coconut [billionaire], pepper [billionaire], [billionaire] soup, [billionaire] stew, [billionaire] salad, [billionaire] and potatoes, [billionaire] burger, [billionaire] sandwich. That- that’s about it.

How is this defendable in any way?

It’s literally the capital of your country and the seat of your government. How that “isn’t Germany” is beyond me.

No, I fully understand the point. By “German” you mean Fachwerkhäuser, Oktoberfest, Lederhosen and Dirndls, Bier Steins and Weißwurst, and you’re correct, these cultural symbols are not characteristic of Berlin - these are Bavarian. There is so much more to German culture than Bavaria though, despite what the Bavarians think.

But that’s not what OP said. OP Made a stupid claim about how only visiting Berlin means one hasn’t really visited Germany.

To your point, my analogy works quite well - If you go to NYC expecting to find the stereotype of cowboys, massive steaks, and barbeque, you’ll be disappointed, because that shit is in Texas.

It’s all relative to how one defines a country’s culture and the lens it creates. Just because someone has myopic expectations does not mean that NYC is less American than anywhere else in the US. The same holds true for Berlin and the rest of Germany.

Lol.

It’s like saying you didn’t visit the US because you only went to NYC, but not Texas.

Are the red flags in the room with you right now?

Tell me you don’t understand anarchism without telling me you don’t understand anarchism.

Keeping the same personality and opinions despite new experiences and perspectives is a giant red flag.
