Chekov: Excuse me, sir! Can you direct us to the naval base in Alameda? It’s where they keep the nuclear wessels.

pauses, looks at Uhura, and tries again

Chekov: Nuclear wessels.

It’s not that bad yet, but clearly getting worse with each year passing since Brexit. Btw: I added some more information in my first reply. For context: I’m a European citisen.

Short answer: Yes

Every time I’m in GB it freaks me out. I tend to wear hats and scarfs outdoors and I’m only using the Internet with a VPN connection.

I frequently travel to Ireland and since I don’t fly, my usual route includes a ferry from France to England and there I’m taking a bus to Wales for the final ferry to Dublin. Last time I went, I first went to the French border checkpoint. The lad takes one quick look at my passport, said “Welcome to France!” and sent me on my merry way to the British border checkpoint. The people there checked my passport for 20 minutes (it was a brand new one with new security features) and after finally deciding it was probably a real passport asked me what my business in England was. I swiftly replied “Getting on the first bus out of England to Ireland”.

Wir haben Blue Light Staffel 3 gesehen. Die Serie kann ich sehr empfehlen. Aktuell lese ich The Last Yakuza von Jake Adelstein und das gefällt mir ebenso sehr gut. Die beschriebene Biographie ist äußerst interessant.

Kudos! My Irish is limited to a few everyday phrases and random words. Having spent most of my time in Belfast and Dublin, I didn’t need it anyway. ^^

As if any Londoner knew how to pronounce even one word in Irish…

Please ban them.

It’s always 3.

This is very common in Belfast. More strangers struck up a convo with me there than in all my years in north Germany.

A decaffeinated Captain Janeway. I’m done for.

That information is outdated. Anyone can change name and gender at their local registry office. You need to apply for it there, wait three months and then you can complete the paperwork for the change you want (female / male / diverse). You can also just delete the gender option for all your documents altogether.

This change in law was introduced in late 2024 (Selbstbestimmungsgesetz).

Wir waren gestern mit zwei Freunden auf einem Konzert von Project Pitchfork. Die gibt es schon seit gut 36 Jahren. Ich habe sie mehrfach live gesehen und die gestrige Show war wohl mein bisher schönstes und entspanntestes Erlebnis. Das Konzert war gut besucht, aber auch nicht überfüllt. Im ganzen Saal gab es eigentlich überall noch Platz für vier weitere Personen, man konnte gemütlich von A nach B gehen. Musikalisch ein Hochgenuss und auch optisch ein echter Hingucker. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen.

Janeway hates Asian people because there was always one during her cadet years at the Academy who kept scoring slightly better than her during exams.

Some people hate the names their parents gave them. So did I and I legally changed it as soon as I could.

My Cleric just clubbed the hell out of enemies while low-key tanking and healing party members. ^^
