[deathandnonexistentialdread]

just dropping in to say that I love love love the fact that you've organically become such a staunch yugi fan/defender!

as a kid, I was drawn in by the "cooler" characters like Atem and Kaiba, or Malik and Bakura, and all the big drama of the card games and grand destinies and the such. but finding my way back here as an adult, I've found that Yugi (+ friends!) and his heart and his brain and his quiet strength and courage is what really makes it all special to me.

maybe ive gotten soft in my old age lol but yeah i just love seeing genuine Yugi appreciation that isn't infantalising him or diminishing his capabilities and accomplishments, thanks <3

(didn't mean to ramble there lol sorry, I think I got briefly possessed by Atem)

(also enjoying seeing your thoughts on DSOD as a yugi defender, im curious to see how you feel about the ending! have fun!)

If there is anyone i will defend till my dying breath, it will be the characters who love and care to the point of self-destruction.

Also Yuugi gives me cuteness aggression. He is so adorable that I want to put him in a jar and shake it (with love and affection like how you see a kitten and want to bite it because they are so cute)

I think the main difference between Yuugi's strength and Kaiba's and Atem's is like you said:

"..I've found that Yugi (+ friends!) and his heart and his brain and his quiet strength and courage.."

Atem and Kaiba's (and most of the ygo cast tbh) are very loud about their strengths, which isn't bad at all. They are at heart, very flashy people and they deserve to be dramatic about everything.

Yuugi's strength is in his quiet kindness and silent courage and resilience. From how he accepted Atem before Atem even accepted himself, to how he was willing to sacrifice himself to take Atem's place in the Doma arc. His kindness moved Jonouchi to be a better person and gave Atem the courage to move on to the afterlife. Yuugi is not a fan of the spotlight and the way he goes about doing things reflects it.

Yuugi is like a wheat stalk in that sense. In a storm the wheat stalk bends but never breaks. In situations where other people falter, Yuugi fights till he is physically unable to.

His kindness is the foundation on which Atem builds his strength and courage upon and diminishing that is diminishing Atem's entire character and story.

In fact, diminishing Yuugi's strength is taking away a huge part of the story of YuGiOh because YuGiOh is not just about recovering the Pharaoh's memories and hyperrealistic card battles. It is also about accepting people in spite of their flaws, it is about how kindness and care can change people for the better and how friendship can teach you to love and accept yourself, because even if you are not capable of loving yourself, the people who love you are more than happy to support until you can appreciate yourself for who you are.

I think at its core, the story of YuGiOh is about how relying on other people is not a sign of weakness but rather, it is your biggest strength and I feel that Yuugi embodies this perfectly. His friends give him strength and he uses his strength to support people when they need it

(guess we both possessed by Atem :D)

(the ending was great!! i just wish that Kaiba got punched atleast once for all the terrible things he told to yuugi)

Produktionsstopp bei Daihatsu

Nicht nur deutsche Autobauer betrügen

Jetzt gibt es auch in Japan einen Betrugsskandal in der Autoindustrie. Die Toyota-Tochter Daihatsu legt bis mindestens Ende Januar die gesamte Produktion lahm. Grund dafür ist, dass man Unregelmäßigkeiten bei 64 Modellen und 3 Motoren gefunden hat. Diese werden auch an Toyota, Mazda und Subaru geliefert, so dass auch dort Lieferprobleme auftauchen könnten.

Schon im letzten April musste der japanische Autohersteller Daihatsu einräumen, Testergebnisse von vereinzelten Modellen manipuliert zu haben. Nun steht man vor einem Scherbenhaufen.

Der Untersuchungsbericht nach den Ermittlungen aus dem letzten April macht den Umfang des Betruges deutlich:

veränderte Testergebnisse

vertuschte Probleme mit Airbags,

Änderungen bei den Resultaten aus Unfalltests und

geschönte Verbrauchswerte.

Die Betrügereien gehen zurück bis in das Jahr 1989. Angeblich wurden die Betrügereien auf Abteilungsleiter zurückgeführt, die nach dem Bericht unter "extremen Zeitdruck" standen. Damit sind höhere Verantwortliche erst einmal aus dem Schneider, weil sie in den 30 Jahren nichts davon bemerkt haben sollen. Vom derzeitigen Produktionsstopp in allen vier japanischen Werken sind rund 9000 Mitarbeiter und 423 Zulieferer betroffen. Die Zulieferer sollen entschädigt werden - und die Beschäftigten?

Hi everyone !

I've noticed that my audience is mainly English-speaking, so maybe I should write in English.

A friend of mine gave me a box of tiny bottles from Monin, which is perfect for trying out lots of different flavours, and as I'm a big fan of coffee lattes, I thought it was THE gift I needed!

So I tried the Pumpkin spice syrup this morning. I wanted to make a filter coffee but I'd run out of ground coffee :( so I opted for a classic machine coffee. I tested the syrup with the Nicaragua capsule from Nespresso.

Honestly, I didn't really like it, I much prefer the latte with the caramel syrup which is just perfect with this coffee.

How do you guys like your coffee ? With honey or maybe agave syrup? Let me know :)

The Role of Your Vehicle’s Safety Rating in Your Insurance Premiums

When shopping for car insurance, many factors influence your premium, including your driving record, location, and the type of coverage you choose. However, one often overlooked factor is your vehicle's safety rating. Understanding how safety ratings affect your insurance costs can help you make informed decisions when purchasing a vehicle and selecting the right insurance policy.

What Are Vehicle Safety Ratings?

Vehicle safety ratings are scores assigned to cars based on their ability to protect occupants in the event of an accident. Organizations such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) conduct rigorous crash tests and safety evaluations to determine these ratings. Factors assessed include crashworthiness, crash avoidance, and the effectiveness of safety features like airbags and electronic stability control.

These organizations test vehicles in simulated real-world crash scenarios, including frontal, side, and rollover crashes. In addition to crash tests, safety ratings take into account features such as seatbelt reminders, structural integrity, and driver assistance technologies that help prevent accidents from occurring in the first place.

How Safety Ratings Influence Insurance Premiums

Insurance companies assess risk when determining premiums, and a car with a high safety rating generally presents a lower risk for severe injuries and costly claims. Here’s how safety ratings impact your insurance costs:

1. Lower Risk of Injury Claims

Cars with higher safety ratings tend to offer better protection in crashes, reducing the likelihood of severe injuries. Since medical expenses and liability claims are among the most significant costs for insurers, driving a safer car can translate to lower premiums.

Additionally, insurance providers analyze historical data on specific vehicle models to determine their likelihood of being involved in severe crashes. If a vehicle has consistently low injury claim rates, it is often rewarded with lower insurance costs.

2. Reduced Repair Costs

Vehicles designed with advanced safety features and robust crash protection may suffer less damage in minor accidents. Insurance companies factor in the cost of repairs when determining premiums, so vehicles with strong safety ratings may qualify for lower collision and comprehensive insurance rates.

However, some modern safety features, such as advanced sensors and cameras, can be expensive to repair or replace. While these technologies improve safety, they may slightly offset the savings on insurance costs due to the higher repair expenses associated with them.

3. Discounts for Advanced Safety Features

Many insurers offer discounts for vehicles equipped with modern safety features such as:

Automatic emergency braking (AEB)

Lane departure warning systems

Adaptive cruise control

Blind-spot monitoring These features reduce accident risks, making your car less expensive to insure.

4. Vehicle Theft and Safety Correlation

Some safety features also deter theft, another factor insurance companies consider. Cars with anti-theft systems and immobilizers are less likely to be stolen, leading to lower comprehensive insurance costs. Models with high theft rates tend to have higher premiums, even if they have good safety ratings, since insurers must account for the increased risk of claims related to vehicle theft.

Choosing a Vehicle with a Good Safety Rating

If you’re in the market for a new car and want to keep your insurance costs manageable, consider the following tips:

Check Safety Ratings: Research the NHTSA and IIHS ratings before purchasing a vehicle.

Prioritize Advanced Safety Features: Look for models with driver-assistance technologies that improve crash prevention.

Compare Insurance Quotes: Before buying, get insurance estimates for different models to see how safety ratings impact premiums.

Consider Repair Costs: While safety features can lower premiums, some high-tech components may be costly to repair, so factor in overall maintenance expenses.

Final Thoughts

Your vehicle’s safety rating plays a crucial role in determining your insurance premiums. Safer cars not only protect you and your passengers but can also save you money in the long run. By choosing a vehicle with a high safety rating and modern safety features, you can enjoy peace of mind on the road while keeping insurance costs in check.

Additionally, regularly maintaining your vehicle and keeping safety features in working condition can help you retain its insurance benefits. Being proactive about safety—whether through responsible driving habits or investing in additional safety features—can lead to long-term savings and enhanced protection.
