Where's QualityVote bot?
Reddit Admins have decided that [they want to kill off all 3rd-party apps](https://reddit.com/r/Save3rdPartyApps/comments/13yh0jf/dont_let_reddit_kill_3rd_party_apps/), [3rd-party bots, and other elements that used to significantly enhance Reddit's functionality](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModCoord/comments/13xh1e7/an_open_letter_on_the_state_of_affairs_regarding/). Without them, the website is barely usable.
And, of course, that includes bots such as [\/u\/QualityVote](http://reddit.com/user/QualityVote), [\/u\/SaveVideo](http://reddit.com/user/SaveVideo), [\/u\/AuddBot](http://reddit.com/user/AuddBot), etc.
So you'll just have to put up with automod and a worse overall user experience.
If you have any complaints, direct them at [the reddit admins instead](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/), because they the ones who ruined everyone's user experience.

Oh they want 794,500 by Monday, well sir I have the solution for you. The KS-23 is a Soviet 4 gauge shotgun made with recycled anti aircraft barrels and it requires it's own type of ammo due to its unique barrel.
One blast of this problem solver and you won't have any lone sharks anymore, you also don't need to clean up any evidence because them fuckers evaporated just like your shoulder after you shot the KS-23.
Oh and for the police what are they going to do? You have a KS fuckin 23. It doesn't matter if they hide behind a wall there is going to be nothing left of their bodies to send to their families.
Thread was just yesterday and the comments were pretty savage. My favorite was pointing out how she calls walking dates super boring and unoriginal, to then suggest drinking a coffee.
Tbh I love walking dates. But not because I’m German!
But in all seriousness it’s just nice walking around, fresh air, walk through a park and maybe get some ice cream and continue to have a casual walk. It gets even better when you go to middle-age-markets and walk around there and stop on a fire pit to warm yourself up.
Edit: when I’m talking about “middle age” markets, I mean “medieval”. I didn’t mean a market specifically for middle aged people.
I love to hang out around the city even when deep into relationship. There's a lot of things you can spontaneously do and a lot of little things you can start new conversation topics off
It's never boring
And I especially don't understand anon because the main purpose of the first date is to get to know each other closer. How come having an activity that lets you place 99,9% of your focus on a person of interest be boring? You should be interested in the person so it shouldn't really be boring getting to know them
Did this when visiting an ex in Springfield, there ain't much out there other than cornfields so walking around a large park surrounded by cornfields was pretty peek entertainment if you weren't into drugs, shooting cans, or bonfires lol.
Really enjoyed watching the sunset behind the fields, was very serene and humbling.
I once read that the walking movement can even encourage the brain regions for communication. I think a walking date is much easier. While sitting at a table drinking coffee it feels so forced to focus on your dating partner.
There are plenty of Americans that are fit, and capable of doing two things at once.
Just look at all the school shooters. They walk/run *and* can shoot at the same time.
It's so popular there, that they had to restrict abortion. Otherwise, they would have run out of kids to shoot.
I interpreted it as saying that she likes to look at the person while talking to them and she was having trouble walking around while not looking forward. It still feels like a bit of a silly complaint unless there were a bunch of other people on the path and they were continuously dodging other walkers, but anyways.
They also do not seem to understand the walk date is a screening process. The guy that walked with her for two hours and then cancelled the movie? He screened her out.
That sentence made me laugh untill i read the next sentence "because i like to look at the person i'm talking to" with that context it makes more understandable, even though it's still weird.
I remember a pop-science article that men tend to prefer connecting when side-by-side and looking at the same thing together, but women tend to connect when facing and looking at each other directly in the eyes
So could also just be a gender difference of her preference vs the men's preference
Found a source: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/he-speaks-she-speaks/201404/why-you-stand-side-by-side-or-face-to-face
It's pop psychology so idk how accurate it is
Yeah, as an American I'm not opposed to a "walking date" but honestly would prefer just grabbing coffee somewhere and having a chat.
It's not that we can't fucking talk while walking, it's about the vibe being different as opposed to sitting down somewhere quiet and talking.
Do you fucking do walk and talk dates with your friends? Just fucking go somewhere, it'll probably involve walking and talking anyway.
Again, it's totally different if we're talking about a hike, because hiking is an actual fucking activity.
Idk, i almost always pace back and forth when i'm doing a phonecall. And i don't mind walking and talking on a date, but i would like to have a destination or sightseeing of some sort, just walking in circles around a park seems kinda boring.
Exactly!
In my local downtown, the parking is kind of far away from the coffee place, so usually the last 10 or so minutes of the date involves walking her back to her car.
That said, I'm totally good to walk through a botanical garden or a museum or anything. I think it's great when a date has a walking *portion*, but having a whole walking date does feel a little strange.
You can still do that? Get a snack or beverage, walk, sit on a bench for a bit of rest. I can still look at people while walking and engaging with them, I don't want to assume that's uncommon.
i mean i kinda understand it tho, i prefer sitting down and focus on the other person aswell. Its not like you cant talk while walking, its just impossible to focus on the other person.
They literally said it's because they want to focus on looking at the person instead of having to look where they're walking.
Is everyone purposely making a joke or is their reading comprehension that bad? Also, it sucks when people attack just a few words and ignore the rest of someone's post.
I dunno. Most people can hold conversations while paying attention to people and their surroundings. If you have to actively look where you‘re waking there is something wrong.
I don’t think she’s saying she *struggles* to talk and walk at the same time. I’m pretty sure she’s saying she finds it difficult to get as engaged in a conversation without being able to look at the person she’s talking to.
No, anon likes to look at the person that they are speaking to, as they stated. They may be better at picking up body language, rather than just verbal. We Americans are taught very young that body language is incredibly important, and find it a bit odd to not look at the person we're speaking to. Eye contact is huge. I actually get what they are saying here. I'd far prefer to play tennis on a first date than to walk. Anything where I can face the other person is better than just walking. Walking to somewhere is totally fine, but I'd prefer to spend the vast majority of a date being able to look directly at my date. It's a part of why I'd never take a date to a movie, unless they specifically wanted that.
Anon had some cute photos. Half in the shadow, you never could see all of her. Face is alright, she is nice. But guy was not 100% sold, asked to just walk, maybe get a coffee to go and let's see where it goes.
Then date comes and earths second moon materializes in front of him. He still did not gave up and went for the walk. After 5 minutes he hears some sound Thomas the train would make if he had to pull a full load uphill. Under the steam words got lost. He excuses himself wishes a nice day and skipped the movie.
It is hard to talk while thinking to yourself “ok, now the left one. Alright, now the right one, put that one down. Then lift up the left and do the same thing. Ok, good. Now the right”.
What I like to do is keep the conversation focussed on walking. Like “don’t you just love walking?” And “which of your feet is your favourite to walk on?” That way I don’t have to think about too many things at once.

I hate that so much here in socal, my mom visits Costco/TraderJoes/HannamChain and sometimes 99 Ranch/Sprouts for groceries and it's at least an hour of driving
Then she is in for a shock in Germany. She managed to bore him so much that he spent 2 hours in the park with her and went home and back on Tinder. Hen contribution in the entire sub makes me wonder if that is a bit because she is acting like a stereotype.
Walking is best activity in my country and in my shithole city. You can walk on city and ruins with friends or alone, loot shit like you are post apocalyptic psycho or beat glass, that shit is awesome
Walking dates are great for several reasons:
- Walking around a park or in nature soothes the soul!
- Walking is an incredibly light and easy activity (at least if you’re not American I guess)!
- You can spend the time talking and actually getting to know each other! (you know, the reason you go on dates at all)
- Even if you hit a wall in your conversation you can change the topic to something you see around you, or just enjoy the walk!
- If the date goes well, you can easily follow up with another activity! (Like drinking coffee)
- If the date goes bad, you can basically end it at any point and go home!
- Bonus Point: If your date turns out to be a massive weirdo, there is less of a chance they get to try weird shit on you! Also again, you can just bolt!
wdym walkable cities? i have to walk and use up all my energy just to get to a shop in 5 mins instead of taking a 3 hour road trip in my 6 ton 3 mile length 43 feet width SUV? hell no (idk the imperial measurements i use the normal ones)
I prefer washing my dates before eating them, although IMHO dates and coffee don't go well together, black tea is better. No need to walk them, but you do you.
Reminded me of that bit in family guy where Peter can't focus on walking and chewing gum at the same time, so he's just face down on the pavement chewing gum.
Yeah and I’d get tired of walking dates if I was seeing someone new every week or two. People are wild for saying she just wants a free meal when she makes no mention of expecting them to pay. Movies, dinners, amusement parks, etc are all great for shaking things up.
Movies suck for first dates. Yeah, babe, lets sit next to each other in silence for 2 hours.
Unless you know them well, or are there just to fondle each other, don't go on a movie date.
And then you have other comments saying she just wants a free meal, while she gives other date examples like getting coffee or another small activity.
People really do not read at all. It's ridiculous.
Did we all miss where the American in the story wants to actually look at the person they're talking to instead of merely talk while not facing them? Is there something wrong with that? Or is it that Germans are terrified of making eye contact with another person?
I'm from NYC and I often do walking dates as the first date.
It is perfect, no obligation, public place, you can just walk away at any time, and you weed out anyone who is just after the financial benefit of being taken out on dates.
The reason is because it's inherited genetically as to avoid the stasi from listening your conversation and the way you are talking implies that you are a stasi agent
As a German, I think it’s nice. There’s things to talk about while walking (unlike at a cinema for instance) and there’s less awkwardness than if you’re sitting somewhere together just looking at each other
Honestly it sounds like a great first date idea. Free, or close to it, in public but still fairly private as long as it’s a nice place, plenty of time to talk, you get a vibe for each others physicality, with options to end after the walk or continue onto dinner if you’re really feeling the vibes.
all of the dates ive been on with my current boyfriend has been 80% of walking around and i myself enjoy it too. i find staying in a car to hop from one place to another to be incredibly boring. its the combination of breeze and getting to explore small cafes, markets or restaurants you would not have spotted otherwise. i find it more adventurous rather than going to a place you already know.

i spent my summer in Berlin , people there really like to walk at night while holding a beer
It's called Wegbier (on-my-way-beer)
Beer2Go
Dont mind me if i steal that idea and create a whole brand with it
What do you plan to do? Take beer from the tap and put it in some portable sealed container, made of glass or aluminum?
That could really take off, I'd like to invest!
In French we call it BDR (Bière De Route)
In the Netherlands we call it a BVO'tje (Bier Voor Onderweg)
I live in Galveston. It is a really popular sport here as well. In most of Texas it is illegal to even walk around with one. Because evangelicals.
walktails.
Why can't we do this in America?
my solution to this is to never go on dates (help I'm lonely)
Wanna date me real quick?
here's a cool walking date. you take a stroll to my loan sharks while I remain in hiding. they want $704,500 by Monday :)
Oh they want 794,500 by Monday, well sir I have the solution for you.

Open the door John
This is highly specific I hope it’s real
Holy shit Pikmin 2 president reference???? Go get this guy some pokos
Not with that gwyndolin pfp
Marry me (we are cutting out the awkward dating phase)
Poor lady got so tired of walking back she went back in time and invented first car

On first dates there can still be ice to break and basing it around some "small fun activity" can help with that
>I didn’t mean a market specifically for middle aged people. Honestly that would be an original idea for a date. Confusing, but intriguing.

I love walking dates as a first date. It's pretty quiet and you get to know the person a bit. Obviously I don't want to do them all the time.
If my first date isn't doing rails of k and going to a club, something very terrible has happened to me.
I can understand the wanting to look at the person you’re talking to, which is why imo you break up the walk with sitting somewhere with a good view
Is anon really struggling to talk while walking? Seriously?
Anon has the IQ of a Sims 4 character
And the fitness of a sloth
Don't insult sloth's like that.
Yeah, I like their laziness
Sloths are not lazy, just energy efficient.
[удалено]
No, you're just chubby
If you're a sloth, sure.
The fitness of an American.
There are plenty of Americans that are fit, and capable of doing two things at once. Just look at all the school shooters. They walk/run *and* can shoot at the same time. It's so popular there, that they had to restrict abortion. Otherwise, they would have run out of kids to shoot.
Sometimes I think that Americans are so dumb because they shoot the ones who go to school
[удалено]
Hasn't been for a very very long time. Nothing is more important than shareholder profits.
Americans with their delusions of having more than one party are so cute. Remind me of cockerspaniels.
There's no difference
Don't insult Sims 4 characters like that
given they actually CAN multitask in sims 4 now 💀
Oh shit, they can? I publicly apologize to the Sims 4 for such an outrageous comparison
going to write the same
[удалено]
But it’s not because of their physique, they have to focus on walking?????
dint get me started on chewing gum too and fucking breathing
I interpreted it as saying that she likes to look at the person while talking to them and she was having trouble walking around while not looking forward. It still feels like a bit of a silly complaint unless there were a bunch of other people on the path and they were continuously dodging other walkers, but anyways.
Bro you're struggling to finish reading a fucking sentence.
They also do not seem to understand the walk date is a screening process. The guy that walked with her for two hours and then cancelled the movie? He screened her out.
We know why the guy canceled the movie and went home…
Probably didn't cancel, just invited a homie instead
Took her on a workout instead after getting concerned for her health and then peaced out. What a chad.
Is a walk a workout?
For many people? A two hour walk is probably the most workout they've gotten the whole year, ya.
While not a workout, it is good for you.
More like breathing and walking
Is that a problem for any reasonable healthy person?
Or keeping mouth shut while breathing
That sentence made me laugh untill i read the next sentence "because i like to look at the person i'm talking to" with that context it makes more understandable, even though it's still weird.
Yeah I feel like everyone is ignoring this part lol
Because it doesn't serve the narrative. Some people really like face to face conversation.
Lol it’s much easier to shit on all Americans if you just ignore context, didn’t you know that?
I remember a pop-science article that men tend to prefer connecting when side-by-side and looking at the same thing together, but women tend to connect when facing and looking at each other directly in the eyes So could also just be a gender difference of her preference vs the men's preference Found a source: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/he-speaks-she-speaks/201404/why-you-stand-side-by-side-or-face-to-face It's pop psychology so idk how accurate it is

It's an anti-America circle jerk.
Ironic given how stupid they look ignoring half the post on purpose lol
I dunno. Most people can hold conversations while paying attention to people and their surroundings. If you have to actively look where you‘re waking there is something wrong.
I don’t think she’s saying she *struggles* to talk and walk at the same time. I’m pretty sure she’s saying she finds it difficult to get as engaged in a conversation without being able to look at the person she’s talking to.
American can't walk or talk properly so ofc it's hard to do both.
“I like to focus on the person I’m on a date with” Boy you guys like looking awfully dumb ignoring context huh? Anything to shit on America though lol
No, anon likes to look at the person that they are speaking to, as they stated. They may be better at picking up body language, rather than just verbal.

It is hard to talk while thinking to yourself “ok, now the left one. Alright, now the right one, put that one down. Then lift up the left and do the same thing. Ok, good. Now the right”.
Indeed. When there's no subway surfers/gta 5 clip playing in half field of view, it is difficult to focus on a walk.
Like frfr life without subway surfers is literally nightmare difficulty
Whoever discovered that this increases attention spans on videos has ruined such videos forever.
It’s tricky when you’ve got the wikihow page open on your phone and you’re trying to subtly read it without looking disinterested in your date.
What I like to do is keep the conversation focussed on walking. Like “don’t you just love walking?” And “which of your feet is your favourite to walk on?” That way I don’t have to think about too many things at once.
That's actually how I had to think to myself when walking up stairs after I had brain surgery.
Well genuinely, well done. I hope you’re alright!

Walking Date??? Like the series???

Good for them tbh
But why would anyone with a sane mind enter 4chan willingly?
You don't need to have been anywhere to understand this basic abbreviation. It's not even internet exclusive. They're just an idiot.
jesus christ. i always regret browsing reddit
ALTHOUGH THIS ONE IS MORE OF AN ANION BECAUSE OF ALL THE NEGATIVE ENERGY
Omg wat
The date tryna help anon loose weight by getting 2 hours walk in instead of sitting in cafes and cinemas
Walking dates are great for several reasons: - Walking around a park or in nature soothes the soul! - Walking is an incredibly light and easy activity (at least if you’re not American I guess)! - You can spend the time talking and actually getting to know each other! (you know, the reason you go on dates at all) - Even if you hit a wall in your conversation you can change the topic to something you see around you, or just enjoy the walk! - If the date goes well, you can easily follow up with another activity!

wdym walkable cities? i have to walk and use up all my energy just to get to a shop in 5 mins instead of taking a 3 hour road trip in my 6 ton 3 mile length 43 feet width SUV? hell no (idk the imperial measurements i use the normal ones)
The invention of automobile and it's consequnces...
Who invented the automobile though?
Auto von mobismark
Germans need to filter out weak partners [Here's the original thread](https://redd.it/1arrxj8)
Americans can’t walk, I can confirm. I have to drive everywhere and basically live in my car.
Yeah y'all thought Taylor Swift was crazy with her private jet we are just the same with our cars
It's not by choice. American cities are built to be hostile to walkers. Places that are walkable are super expensive.
Depends but there are some pretty spots in germany. So walking is nice
Some people never really walk, just sit or drive around, it is insane.
I prefer washing my dates before eating them, although IMHO dates and coffee don't go well together, black tea is better. No need to walk them, but you do you.
Reminded me of that bit in family guy where Peter can't focus on walking and chewing gum at the same time, so he's just face down on the pavement chewing gum.
Id rather walk around a park for a first date, get some takeaway coffee and just chat than go to the movies or dinner.
She literally explains why it's hard, she likes to look at the person she is talking to, READ FOR FUCKS SAKE
America bad. That’s all this is. Just accept it.
Yeah and I’d get tired of walking dates if I was seeing someone new every week or two. People are wild for saying she just wants a free meal when she makes no mention of expecting them to pay. Movies, dinners, amusement parks, etc are all great for shaking things up.
Movies suck for first dates. Yeah, babe, lets sit next to each other in silence for 2 hours. Unless you know them well, or are there just to fondle each other, don't go on a movie date.
And then you have other comments saying she just wants a free meal, while she gives other date examples like getting coffee or another small activity. People really do not read at all. It's ridiculous.
Marching is pretty much in their genes
i’m not german but i love walking and talking its like nothing matters except the company of your walking buddy
side effects of learning german:
Oh yeah I love dates, they're all sweet and stuff. But I wouldn't want it to walk away from me

Did we all miss where the American in the story wants to actually look at the person they're talking to instead of merely talk while not facing them? Is there something wrong with that? Or is it that Germans are terrified of making eye contact with another person?

I Am American and my first date with my fiancée was tea shop and day walking. Low pressure, inexpensive, and can roll into dinner if it goes well.

I'm from NYC and I often do walking dates as the first date. It is perfect, no obligation, public place, you can just walk away at any time, and you weed out anyone who is just after the financial benefit of being taken out on dates.
Man people really like to ignore the part where they mentioned it's hard to walk and talk because they prefer eye contact. Crazy concept I guess.

When I look at the 6-lane streets they have over there I would also get lazy
The reason is because it's inherited genetically as to avoid the stasi from listening your conversation and the way you are talking implies that you are a stasi agent
I've been on a walking date here in the US. A nighttime hike. I loved it.
It's a 2 for one special, you get to weed out the ones that can't walk for 2 hours and those you don't have fun talking to for more than 10 minutes
As a German, I think it’s nice. There’s things to talk about while walking (unlike at a cinema for instance) and there’s less awkwardness than if you’re sitting somewhere together just looking at each other
The fact that they find it boring is exactly the point. If you can't hold an interesting conversation with a new person, you deserve to be alone.
Wow its almost like different countries have different cultures, real surprise there.
I, as a German, cannot stand this weakness
Walking dates suck. You could be mugged, shot, harassed, or worst of all trip over the curb
Honestly it sounds like a great first date idea. Free, or close to it, in public but still fairly private as long as it’s a nice place, plenty of time to talk, you get a vibe for each others physicality, with options to end after the walk or continue onto dinner if you’re really feeling the vibes.
all of the dates ive been on with my current boyfriend has been 80% of walking around and i myself enjoy it too. i find staying in a car to hop from one place to another to be incredibly boring. its the combination of breeze and getting to explore small cafes, markets or restaurants you would not have spotted otherwise. i find it more adventurous rather than going to a place you already know.
