Yes, but also:

And the journals quickly recognized her expertise.

So no crying historians in that story. She researched, proposed an article and the community said: “Good idea!” The whole “Oh, all those fine scientists laughed about the average joe/jane!” is just a common tale in those stories.

That’s how you do science.

So, it’s a Butt-Hydra?

Yup, absolutely! Something like 15 - 32 should be fitting.

So, of a line gets deleted, the cats get cut in half? Rough!

“Umfrage JA! zum Auto!”

Auto?

• Ja
• Nein

And that, my children, is why are not allowed to decide anything.

Actually, they working on the microbe stage for years now, but their goal is actually the whole Spore experience.

Reading the actual article: They only had evidence of six people actually being injected. The number of 8600 ist just the number of syringes she prepared altogether and may have manipulated.

She was found guilty for those 6 cases and her sentence is six months on probation.

Ich hab es immer als allgemeinen News-Aggregator gesehen. Ich bin da, um kurzfristig über Dinge informiert zu werden. Tatsächlich nutze ich am Ende immernoch am Meisten RSS-Reader, die das meistens einfacher und gleichzeitiger spezifischer erfüllen. Alles andere… keime Ahnung.

Mein Hauptproblem mit Mastodon ist eher, dass ich mir unabsichtlich ein Doomscroll-Profil zusammengestellt habe. Deswegen bin ich einfach allein für meine geistige Gesundheit nicht mehr so häufig auf meinem Profil.

the word “yoink,” a coinage of Meyer’s, which characters sometimes utter in the act of snatching something

That implies invention by Meyer, doesn’t it?

Solche Frechdachs*innen

Yeah, absolutely right. “X is like a new part of Y” must make sense for being a successor. Nobody will say “Last of Us is just like Uncharted IV”!

But you would not argue that F:NV is the spiritual “successor” to those movies just because they were referenced.

If I didn’t know about Hotline Miami and you told me about like: “It’s like somebody made a new Hitman game!” I would be completely lost playing the game. Whole different perspective, style, flow. IMO being a “successor” implies more than just similar elements or references.

That said, wtaching out for examples I do not find so many other, that I think are similiarly weak as the Hitman/Hotline one. So it may be the exception in the list.

With no wars and no lies how came their world to be exactly like ours? That’s fishy, I say.

Der wahre Power-Move wäre natürlich gewesen, direkt einen Winnie-Puh-Bären zurückzuschenken, aber soviel Eier hat der/die Södernde leider nicht in der Hose.

The used definition is sometimes really broad here. I mean, ok, Dead Space to Callisto Protocol or Titan Quest to Grim Dawn is obvious but Hotline Miami is the Spiritual Successor to Hitman because… you are have to kill people and when you fail you go try again? Very weak. Just being influenced or having a vaguely similar theme shouldn’t make it a “successor”.

Nächster Schritt: “Nur ich kann eine Diktatur verhindern! Deshalb muss ich alleine regieren!”

Das gab es doch schon mit dem Müncher Vizebürgermeister, der das Oktoberfest als Drogenumschlagsplatz bezeichnet hatte.

Da kommt natürlich der Aufschrei, dass das nicht das gleiche sei, denn Cannabis ist ja verboten, eeil es illegal ist und Bier ist ja keine Droge und ein Kulturgut und nicht illegal und jeder trinkt Bier, ich mag Bier, du magst Bier, alle mögen Bier etc. etc. etc.

PS: Kurze Berichtigung: es war der zweite Bürgermeister, des es als “offene Drogenszene” beschrieben hat: https://www.rnd.de/panorama/muenchen-zweiter-buergermeister-nennt-oktoberfest-offene-drogenszene-SB4ZJCRUW5PTVPQJZC3X7E2XLE.html
