That information is outdated.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).

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.

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.

Wow, that’s incredibly fast. Thank you for your reply. :)

Hi Karim. I’d like to know how long the casting process took. Best regards from mid Europe.

I’d love to know as well. His is still in the packet. It’s more of a decoration gimmick to him.

My friend’s got a bar of Picard soap in his bathroom. :)

Neelix & Tuvok is my all time favourite.

Odo was temporarily turned into a solid as punishment for killing one of his own kind.

Yes, he is. A genuinely kind and friendly person in real life.

I was already a big fan of KDC1, playing KDC2 right now.

My partner and I are watching the entire extended trilogy over the holidays as well… ^^

Star Trek: Generations counts as a Christmas movie as well.

I’m from there. He permanently used to be such a burden, he’s such an asshat, it was long overdue. Good riddance.

As a music teacher, this is absolutely haunting and even worse than I initially thought. Waco??? I might want to throw up… I’ve read about how bad the FBI & ATF fucked up there and it makes me physically ill…
