I’d accept ‘your majesty’

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”.

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

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.

Tokyo Vice. I also recommend reading all the books written by Jake Adelstein.

What are you doing, step-Baroness Bertin?

I would totally not say anything like that.

I’m a trekkie, so startrek.website it was.

The best of both bitches. Sounds like my relationship.

Now’s my time to shine. I speak multiple languages and I grew up watching TOS and many movies starring Bud Spencer & Terence Hill with German dubbing. I translated the key paragraphs from the German Wikipedia article for you:

Schnodderdeutsch refers to a style of language that is a mixture of pub jargon and youth slang. The term was coined by Rainer Brandt, a Berlin voice actor and dialogue writer. However, the style was also influenced by other authors (e.g. Karlheinz Brunnemann). In terms of purpose and form, Schnodderdeutsch is described as follows: “This form of German is used for humour and satire and is characterised by neologisms, apparent proverbs, atypical metaphors and comparisons, stylistic inconsistencies, violations of norms and logical inconsistencies.”

[…]

In the wake of the highly successful work by Rainer Brandt and Karlheinz Brunnemann, dubbing projects in this style were increasingly assigned to other dubbing studios, whose work, however, was often of significantly lower quality. For example, the film “Django and the Gang of the Hanged” was re-dubbed under the title “Joe the Gallows Bird” by Düsseldorf-based MGS-Synchron GmbH and heavily abridged in the process. The same fate befell the film “They Sell Death,” which was reworked as “The Fat Man and the Warthog.”

Many other series from the 1970s and 1980s (e.g., Star Trek [1], Kojak) were also adapted relatively freely, but differ significantly from the brash German and are more a reflection of the spirit of the times than an imitation of the work of Brandt and Brunnemann.

I quit Reddit years ago and moved on to the Fediverse. I am deleting my Discord account by the end of this week while moving on to Stoat & Fluxer. Social media is not of any interest to me. When ever a platform becomes unbearable for me to use, I leave and do not look back.

Thank you, I didn’t know. :)

You people have flairs? Greetings from Lemmy’s startrek.website 🖖
