@8BitSalah @arevya They cite a study (albeit a bit older) finding that generally people believe that the market performs better under Republican governments but historically they do perform better under Democrat governments. It would be quite easy to continue tracking this for more recent history.

@8BitSalah @arevya A more detailed discussion of election results and stock market behaviour. https://t.co/kL7dKbp5x1

@DeafGamersTV I would love to see this - would be amazing if there was still captioned though. There's lot of us deafies outside of the US out there... 🥲 I realise that's a lot extra work though. In terms of keeping going I'd suggest being kind on yourself when it comes to release schedules.

[Anni's Looking Glass @anniwithacamera]

@melly_maeh Ich bin am Mittwoch da. 😊

[Anni's Looking Glass @anniwithacamera]

@melly_maeh Habe aber echt das Gefühl, das regelt jede Gemeinde halt anders. Deshalb ist es auch so schwer, die Infos zu bekommen. In der letzten Stadt wohnte ich 2,5 Jahre, da hatte ich das dann kurz vor meinem Wegzug endlich alles geregelt. 😅 Hier muss ich mich jetzt auch Mal kümmern

[Anni's Looking Glass @anniwithacamera]

@melly_maeh Befristete Ausweise machen bei Leuten wie dir und mir ja auch so viel Sinn. 😂 Da haben meine Eltern aber schon als ich Kind war lange Briefe geschrieben und dann würde ich irgendwenn entfristet. Mit Stempel, dessen Tinte jetzt so abgerieben ist, dass man das kaum noch sieht. 😂

[Anni's Looking Glass @anniwithacamera]

@arevya Admittedly, I can't name them all but the Doom Franchise has some kind of fun names like "I'm too young to die" instead of "Easy". 😊

[Anni's Looking Glass @anniwithacamera]

@DeafGamersTV @ultrosgame I guess I also live in a bit of a bubble because I play a lot of narrative focussed games and you can't usually die in those. 😬 I would actually love a list of games with combat and actual invincibility. Mods are often an option but limited to PC/Steam.

[Anni's Looking Glass @anniwithacamera]

@DeafGamersTV @ultrosgame Yeah, I just looked up some games where I was convinced I had invincibility - like The Outer Worlds. Apparently I was wrong. You can still die but I guess the story mode made me enough of a bullet sponge so that I managed to kill enemies via "spray and pray" first... 😂

[Anni's Looking Glass @anniwithacamera]

@DeafGamersTV @ultrosgame Yeah, can't say I've played any of these. 😂 I'm actually ok with dying in video games per se - but obviously only if I feel like it's within my capacity of overcoming. But I refuse to play games that don't respect my time, meaning I have to backtrack or play sections again.

[Anni's Looking Glass @anniwithacamera]

@momoxmia @easysurf_ca Teams isn't the worst but can still be a bit rough. The layout has improved but I've just not found anything that's up Meet's standard (and Meets is good in other languages too, at least in German). Unfortunately most people don't want to or can't use it over here. 🙄

[Anni's Looking Glass @anniwithacamera]

@ameliarchaeo @charlhyde It depends. I always declare it because 1) I'm too deaf to hide it and 2) Technically discrimination laws apply. But I also understand that people might not if they really need a job (money). I could write a book with the stories I have re job search and deafness and I'm only 32.

@melly_maeh Mir & in meiner Familie ist jetzt zum Glück noch nie sowas Extremes passiert, aber das es manchem medizinischem Fachpersonal absolut an Empathie & Kommunikationsfähigkeit fehlt hatten wir auch schon. Und man ist ja wegen was Ernstem da, der Stress hilft dann echt nicht... ☹️

[Anni's Looking Glass @anniwithacamera]

@melly_maeh Das ist wirklich unfassbar. Habe im anderen Kommentar schon gesehen, dass du leider den Namen nicht hast. Kann ich gut verstehen, wäre mir in der Stresssituation auch passiert. Ich finde man könnte trotzdem Mal eine generelle Beschwerde an das Krankenhaus herantragen...

[Anni's Looking Glass @anniwithacamera]

@ciTgoesNuts @TheSlasherChick @ianhamilton_ @melly_maeh @PlayerResearch @SoftLeafStudios @BrannonZ @KaitlynJones_ @TheCafeEla @LaffingLad @FerniWrites @JC_3D Yes that would be great! @melly_maeh's friend suggested two restaurants. I can email them and ask if they're generally accessible. Then it would be good to have a very rough idea of day/time and numbers though. ☺️

[Anni's Looking Glass @anniwithacamera]

@melly_maeh @ianhamilton_ @TheSlasherChick @PlayerResearch @SoftLeafStudios @BrannonZ @KaitlynJones_ @TheCafeEla @ciTgoesNuts @LaffingLad @FerniWrites @JC_3D I wonder if there might be a restaurant somewhere nearby-ish that would let us book the backroom as a group. Obviously we would have to drink/eat there. But it might be difficult too as they tend to be further away. Does Gamescom itself have quieter areas on the trade day?

[Anni's Looking Glass @anniwithacamera]

@melly_maeh @TheSlasherChick @PlayerResearch Well, that explains why I was struggling to find out more or even open the website! 😅
