Just one more lane and it will be fixed, once and for all, pinky promise!

I can tell you from my own experience, you don't do the child a favor by sticking to a broken relationship, I wished my parents have broken up earlier instead of pretending everything is good and that's how a normal relationship should be. It took me years and I sometimes still struggle today to draw a line and go into a conflict with my partner to figure things out instead of avoiding the conflict

It is, from it's current animals in London series. Talented person 👌

I buy them mostly second hand (there are a few reputable online shops for that over here), the price difference between DVD and BD is small (like 5 instead of 7€) But yeah, you are probably right, I remember when every parent bought a DVD player and they all threw out their VCS and just a few years later Bluray was the new thing and they just refused to do the same thing again :D these people are probably still using their dvd players from back then

Never had problems with the encryption of a BluRay so far (A.R.M. with a suitable 4K BluRay Drive, manual transcoding via Handbrake quality vs size depending on the movie). The menus are one of the reasons why I put everything into Jellyfin. I absolutely hate how every Movie navigates differently, but all buggy, plus the annoying trailers and anti-theft blabla before you even get to the menu. Next thing DVDs and BluRays use different buttons for play, pause, back, skip etc on PS4 wtf. So now I am in a situation where I own all my stuff, but still have the convenience of Netflix.

Curting off a hand for stealing! (Are we still doing this?)

Why are people still buying DVDs? I just threw in an old movie I only own on DVD and even on my old, shitt, cheap UHD TV it looked so bad, even my gf recognized it. (even, because she doesn't wear her glasses in the evening and always calls me crazy when I complain about the shitty image of the TV)

Who could have guessed??? Anyway it's important to think about the economy now, but only short term of course! /s

No, bluray is 1080p (or 2160p if UHD Bluray) while DVDs are 576p-720p (what looks really shitty on a 4K TV). I only buy BDs and UHD BDs these days

Not directly subsidized, but definitely different treatment than other drugs thanks to successfull lobbying in Germany. Alcohol can far more easy sponsor and advertise e.g. Or the rage of the conversatives when weed got legalized (badly in comparison of course) this year, while they really like to take photos at Germany's greatest drug convention (Oktoberfest) or get themself "elected" to Wine Queen/Beer Kind of boring region X.

Same goes for marketing: Monday's are like, hey could everyone please like and share our newest LinkedIn/Insta whatever? Friday's are look how our numbers skyrocketed! (B2B company, no idea why they even care about Instagram)

Man muss ihn verstehen. Er hat nun mal einen Sparfetisch und das ganze liegt ja nun mal beim FDP-geführten Verkehrsministerium. Dieses hat natürlich aus Folge von 1 auch nur begrenzte Budgets: Beim Radverkehr wurde schon alles weggespart, da kann man nicht mehr nennenswert kürzen. Bei der Bahn ist noch ein bisschen was nach, da könnte man noch kürzen. Und sonst gibt es einfach keine anderen Budgets. Keine. Gar keine. Erst recht keine, die den Klimazielen der Regierung irgendwie im Weg stehen. Wirklich, kein einziges.
