YESSSS!! I really dig the guy because he doesn't seem to feel the need to be edgy at all. He's fresh in every sense of the word.

so much this. My TV is just being used for consoles and as a second monitor. Since i got Netflix working, German tv can kiss my a** goodbye

I stopped watching TV around 2005. Yes, I did it before it was cool.
I kinda dig Cro even though I never really enjoyed German Studentenrapper or whatever you might call them. They always felt toothless and "German" in a negative sense. The same probably applies for Cro but for some reason he resonates with me. Makes me smile.
Yeah I guess fresh is the right word, I'd call is panda mask edgy, tho.
. The German-Ganstar-Rap shit never flew with me anyway (except a couple of songs, of course, but a broken clock* is right twice a day.)Cro is basically the 'chillout /non-emo' version of Casper the 2011 saviour of German rap.

I don't know. What he's doing doesn't strike me as performance art.
This thread seems to be a good place for you to write a tutorial...

Deep fry some bacon for me.
That's even better. Switzerland is cool and Geneva is one of the prettiest cities I've ever visited.
Wow, thanks! How didn´t I know this...

Jesus Christ, Germany! Why did you have to go after Russia's money in Cyprus? It wasn't even that bad!

It's a weird day when I discover that my government is collapsing from Germans mentioning it. At least our economy is fine!

I have to spent less time on GAF. I was sure this would be Hetalia fanart.

My ex gf got me to watch Hetalia. It was a bit odd. Prussia / Austria were great though.
Is that where your interest in Prussia comes from? Or the other way around? I say interest, but I just saw you talking about it a couple of times.

My interest in Prussia comes from Grand Strategy gaming (i.e. EU3, Victoria 2 etc) which I was into before I watched that show. In fact, I believe she originally recommended it based on my casual mention of how Prussia was awesome is in some conversation once.
you don´t have to pay for a VPN service. Google for mediahint.com and off you go. Works for hulu and iplayer of course too. But yeah, unblock-us would be my second choice, if the free one will stop working.
i occasionally watch ZDF NEO/ Info and Phoenix for documentations and shows like Bambule, neo paradise, Leschs Kosmos , etc...
thanks@Milchmann... great page

Sorry, my grammar there was way off. Did you ever come across this book?
I kinda want to know what Nancy Mitford thought about Frederick II. They were both pretty out there.
Never heard of it. I hardly read books anymore, though. Last book I read in its entirety was Guns, Germs & Steel.
That's Jared Diamond isn't it? I read his "arm & reich" (poor & rich). Might just be the German title for the very same book.

Yes, that is the same book (1998 Pulitzer prize winner). I felt like he could have delivered the content sans the minute details in a single chapter, but I still got through it all. I'm part-way through Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid but it's a bit heady for me. I'll get back to it some day.
Frankly I couldn't make it through the whole thing for the exact same reason. I completely bought his theory though. Never heard of the other one though.
Edit: Just checked amazon:

It's hard to explain, very weird. It talks about the lives and works of the three titular people, Kurt Godel (logician/mathematician), M.C. Escher (artist) and Johann Sebastian Bach (composer), common themes in their works, symmetry, intelligence, and how meaning can arise from non-meaningful parts. It has chapters that are dialogues between fictional characters, and some chatpers that are like excerpts from Formal Logic textbooks.
I mean that does sound super interesting but pretty demanding nonetheless.
I am about to read a friend's manuscript for a novel he just send me. It's supposedly heavy stuff. His agent says the book has a good shot at being published by one of the big German publishers, which is pretty ace for your first novel. Kinda excited, but godamn,

The main problem is that I'm a fucking idiot and have no background in most of what it talks about. I will hopefully get through the whole thing next time I have a crack at it, but damn, it's like doing homework in a class you haven't been attending. Anyway, sleep time.

I never set foot in there. Wouldn't wanna risk finding a middle ground with the enemy.
brotkasten

Don't worry about that. There's no middle ground for that one guy. It's all about:
"Merkel is managing to achieve what Hitler couldn't: to control Europe with a fist of steel. Just instead of invading by war, it is just invading subtly economically, saying what has to be done, how and when, making us all dependent of them (the Germans)."
(not his quote, but the general mood in the thread)
It's ridiculous. I like to tell myself people affected are just desperate. It's a terrible situation.

The left German girl is "Sexy Cora", right? She's dead, died during a surgery for bigger boobs.

That's terrible to hear.
I have no idea who they are. Google gave be that picture as 4th result when I was searching for "germany australia".

What is so terrible? Compare the interest rate you got over the last few years from your bank and now look at what the people in Cyprus got. I am not a fan of asset seizure but everyone who profited on that "system" should pay back. There is a big difference if you get 5% for your 10.000€ or 0.5%. So now "paying" back 6% for one year doesn't sound as bad anymore in my eyes. (I of course would never post that in the thread directly)
How would I know.

Yeah, any chances this will be a good match?
although i'm not a fan of supersized boobs and despite the fact that anesthesiology is my favoured speciality i feel the need to emphasize that she didn't die because of "breast implants", but the anesthesiologist fucked up.
