The last penalty of the SuperCup Final Shoot-out

Delegierte fragten daraufhin verwirrt nach, ob diese Aussage wirklich korrekt sein kann. Darauf erwiderte Kaiser: „Das ist korrekt, ich habe mit vier Jahren das Modeln angefangen.“

Wie Kaiser auf ihrer Website mitteilt, arbeitet sie, seitdem sie denken kann. Das scheint im Alter von vier Jahren der Fall gewesen zu sein, denn dann begann sie nach eigenen Angaben mit ihrer Modelkarriere. Wer wie sie 21 Jahre lange Erfahrungen im „Haifischbecken“ der Modeindustrie gesammelt habe, werde die Politik als „Streichelzoo verstehen“. Über ihre Erfahrungen schreibt sie auf der Website: „Auch wenn ich den Beruf als Model aus politischen Gründen in Zeiten der sogenannten Cancel Culture nur noch gelegentlich ausüben kann, profitiere ich immer noch von den Erfahrungen und Erlebnissen – sie haben mich geprägt.“

I am not a regular gamer, but once or twice in the week I am indulging in some after work gaming. Mostly I enjoy games that are either story rich to put different thoughts in my mind or games with a simple, but enjoyable gameplay (not too much micromanagement).

Here are my favorites for an after work gaming spree:

• Football Manager (mainly 2008 and 2014 edition)
• Citizen Sleeper
• Suzerain
• Disco Elysium
• The Long Dark
• Dave the Diver
• Hotline Miami
• System Shock 2
• The Long Drive

What about you, what do you play after work (even occasionally) to get your mind off or do you have any suggestions in general?

Not something that I watch on regular base, but a Sunday's cinematic guilty pleasure (also applies for movies with Tati). Also, it connects me to my childhood, growing up with Louis de Funès movies.

Do you have those kinds of "guilty pleasure" movies or feel well movies?

The film follows a small group of Resistance fighters as they move between safe houses, work with the Allied militaries, kill informers, and attempt to evade the capture and execution that they know is their most likely fate.
