For me, the substitutes helped me getting started with vegan foods, since i was able to still make familiar dishes. That gave me the confidence to try more and more things which are fully vegan to begin with. It's hard to change your diet instantly to completely different foods in one swoop, and it hightens the chance that you shock your guts and feel bad doing it. Which gets people to bounce off a vegan diet. So they are great for that. But even when I mostly eat self cooked stuff today, sometimes I still buy me a pair of beyond patties or something like that.

So they definitely have a place, especially for people who change their diet later in life. I also have a friend who lived vegetarian and later vegan their whole life. And they doesn't like the substitutes that much.

    Oh yeah, had to do this shit quite often as well. Also I sometimes knew that someone will be let go beforehand because I already had to prepare the onboarding for the next guy. Had to keep quiet for weeks towards the first guy. Went to lunch with him and stuff. Definitely my least favorite part of this job.

    DW is financed by taxes, but the content is not directly controlled by the politics only indirectly. The state sets the broad goals by a law, Yes, DW has its own law, But politics is restricted by law as well to influence the content. Another very important law in Germany is the press freedom and DWs reporters can always rely on that for their work. You can definitely rely more on DW articles as you can on privately owned news outlets, since they might have to do what their financier says.

    Also I'm pretty sure, taking your comparison, in Russia there is no press freedom like that.

    How about a "Suicide Squad" like run. The players can create all kinds of evil prisoners that get send to kill a thing that all the heros already failed to defeat. Now they can try do to what they are told to in exchange for their freedom or whatever or try to run away and and not risk their own life's on the way.

    A lot of chances to play evil or even reconsider when the little orphan begs for help.
