It's even worse for videos with "official" dubs. I have been jump scared by German and French dubs on certain videos recently, I distinctly remember MrBeast, Mark Rober and Nick DiGiovanni. I have set my language to English a

On a related note: whatever idiot started using keyboard language instead of system language for emoji autocompletion on certain MacOS and iOS Apps, please go die in hell somewhere... I have had this issue randomly pop up with the Telegram

As someone who used to travel regularly between Zurich and Frankfurt (Zurich - Hamburg line ICE) I can 100% tell you that distance is *NOT* the root cause of DB's reliability problems. Infrastructure decline is. From lack of electrific

I can't believe people in this thread seem to be unironically defending / denying that Pelosi and her husband are front running trades based on her insider information. Particularly during the pandemic it was just painfully obviou

I would find it hilarious if someone would come up with a password generator that generates passwords that would pass this game.

This game is great! Even though I will need to catch up with whatever was happening in my class for the last 2 hours, I thoroughly enjoyed my time and the fact that I have no idea what the professor is talking about is a sign of how engaged

That does not describe the average /g/ thread at all. Most boards are rather tame. Also, I think most avid 4chan users have their filters set up in a way to get rid of most garbage simply by excluding posts with certain keywords.

This opinion may be unpopular, "gatekeeping" is good, at least to a certain degree. It essentially forces people to integrate. Now this can, of course, be really toxic, but on the other hand, it can help to preserve quality (and c

I forgot where I read about it, but there are some limits to certain human social groups we all share (paraphrasing from what I remember): --------------------------------------------- Best friends: 2-3 Close Friends: 15-30 Friends / &

I just wanted to say thank you. I didn't know about the setting to always show scrollbars on macOS and them being hidden by default was bothering me for a while.

Ok, we get it, your website's design is basically bad on purpose, and it probably generates a lot of free pr exactly because it is bad and because it's novel. However, I can assure you that my eyes are perfectly fine, but your web

This was surprisingly underwhelming. Also I can 100% guarantee you that you will not travel across the alps in the same amount of time in January as you would in July despite this page suggesting you will, so quite frankly I don't see

To be precise Lindt & Sprüngli (LISN) is currently trading for CHF 90’900 roughly USD 99’485. And as a fun fact they have quite a famous natural dividend a suitcase full of chocolate :)

ToS and Privacy Policy links don't work for me in the App on iOS. Big no no since it's one of these Apps where I don't really want to sign up and reveal my information in the first place. The sign up process kind of ruins the

Correlation =/= Causation There are way bigger fish for the US to fry other than Switzerland. FATCA wasn’t created because of Swiss banks. Claiming otherwise is ignorant.

In my personal opinion individuals entirely hiding their assets from their native governments is a thing of the past. Why hide your assets and risk going to jail when you could just pay a consulting firm a fixed amount of money to optimize

Swiss banking history and the process they and their US customers have to go through are entirely unrelated. The US simply created these regulations because for some strange reason the US believes it somehow has the authority to collect eve

On a similar note Excel commands are probably the most infuriating thing since I learned programming fro me because they are all in the regional language in my case German and make no sense to me now. (Example IF is WENN in German) It drive

Can't talk for everyone but I always use English in all my code for everything (Variables, Database, Filenames etc.) Because it's a real pain to be consistent otherwise. In the beginning I used to write parts of my code in German
