Yet another Expat

A short comedy podcast by a tired Greek millennial in Berlin. Shower thoughts, weird internet garbage, science, tech, AI, geopolitics, microplastics, and other 2 a doom scrolling thoughts stuck in my brain. Also jokes, observations, everyday chaos, and the occasional moments of clarity. So basically it's thoughts, stories and news, combined with an "existential dread / old man yells at cloud" energy and a quiet hope for some alien intervention to save us all. Or I'll go and grow tomatoes back in my village. Anyhow, I’m just talking so you’re not alone with your thoughts. So, press play ;)

    E95 - Parenting Adventures & Game Development with Claude

    Links at the bottom. Greece won. Three years in a row. The title of the most complex country in the world to do business in. I open by complaining about it, then quietly admit I still keep an accountant there even though I left, because the complexity is also why I cannot leave.(Before you read further... You know who writes these descriptions... right? Right. Ermis out)Then a small thing about the €230 question I once paid a lawyer to answer, that I'd now ask ChatGPT for free. Which is great. Except for the part where the same machine is firing people I know.Some parenting at 1.5 years. He sleeps through the night now. He wants to wear one red boot. Just the one. We are walking, slowly, into the part of toddlerhood where he figures out he can lie down in the middle of the pavement and there is nothing I can do about it.And then the long stretch. I am building a 2D platformer called Pull the Plug. I cannot code. I am making it anyway, with Claude. I'll tell you about the shortcuts I built this week that finally made the thing move faster. Fly cam. God mode. A one-button checkpoint. A screenshot batcher. Petty victories. They felt enormous.The game is ugly. Shipping anyway.We can pull the plug together, kill the AI, then go grow tomatoes. That was always the plan.—Play the ugly in-progress version: https://pull-the-plug.feepok.workers.devGame landing + waitlist: https://ennui92.github.io/pull-the-plug-site/Daily devlog: https://ermis.devNewsletter: https://ermis1.substack.com

    E94 - Alligators, UFOs, and Rebrain Greece

    Zoo Animals as Influencers, a Shoe-Hoarding Alligator, and Greece’s “Rebrain” PRYo I'm too tired so got an LLM to summarise this episode below, sorry. No need to read itttttErmis records episode 94 from Berlin, reflecting on modern zoos and their conservation narrative, comparing captive animals to “trapped influencers” funding protection of wildlife, and noting the northern white rhino is functionally extinct with only two females left, relying on IVF. He shares a news story about an alligator lifted by helicopter after a flood, found to have eaten a missing businessman and to contain six pairs of shoes, suggesting it may have preyed on others near a frequently flooding bridge. He comments on the Trump administration releasing UFO files in curated batches while dumping Epstein files as unorganized raw data. He critiques Greece’s “Rebrain Greece” campaign amid brain drain statistics and misleading “reversal” language, praises Korea’s mixed-ripeness “one a day” banana packs, covers Berlin’s e-scooter hub parking plan extending to 2035, and updates that he’s building a six-level2D platformer game playable in a browser: here https://pull-the-plug.feepok.workers.dev/more projects at: https://ennui92.github.io/ermis-dev/.00:00 Welcome to Episode 9400:46 Zoos and Conservation Guilt04:41 Rhino Extinction Reality06:09 Alligator Eats Businessman10:01 UFO Files vs Epstein Files13:14 Rebrain Greece PR Spin19:31 Bananas One a Day Pack21:26 Berlin E Scooter Parking Ban24:05 Building a 2D Platformer Game25:34 Final Wrap and Callbacks

Charming strangers, cautiously worshipping dogs, and steadily evolving in unpredictable directions. We’re also flirting with the dreaded “pasta period,” which may already be too far gone.Plus: An Amsterdam church experiments with going offline,Anguilla keeps cashing in on the AI boom, and I ship a new Chrome extension, Tab Noodle, after last week’s “fair German Google reviews” tool.Thanks for tuning in.If you're interested in the stuff I make, like Tab Noodle or the Fair Google Review calculator for Germany, you can find everything here: https://ennui92.github.io/ermis-dev/

    E90 - Greek Scandals, Good Espresso & The New Messiah

    I got one extra hour of sun and one surprisingly decent espresso, which is weird because I usually drink instant dirt and pretend it’s a personality. I spiral a bit about Nestlé, then I put on Placebo and immediately time-travel back to being an embarrassing teenager. So yeah: music, memory, and how to hack your brain without buying another app. Then I peek at the news: Greece doing Greece things—corruption, surveillance, and a luxury hotel near the Acropolis making money off being illegally tall. I also talk about ads that feel psychic (they’re not), a stupid “white messiah” meme, a Germany rule about leaving the country, and Voyager 1 just quietly escaping all of us.

    Recorded under the rare appearance of the summer sun. Ever wondered why some adults in China are resorting to pacifiers? Or why Greek firefighters are treated like disposable heroes? And did anyone catch the absurd Trump-Putin Alaska spectacle? Dive into the latest episode of this unapologetically cynical podcast to get the lowdown on these bizarre realities, plus a rundown of cultural ventures in Berlin and the latest blunders in US climate policy. Think ignorance is bliss? Brace yourself for the truth. In more detail (thanks AI)Today’s episode kicks off with the latest Chinese trend: adult-sized pacifiers for stress relief. It’s as absurd as it sounds. Then we turn to Greece, where firefighters fight both fires and governmental neglect, dealing with temporary contracts and no hazard pay, despite battling dangerous blazes. In Berlin, an old fire station transforms into a cultural hub for a two-month Club Commission event, showcasing a range of performances. The surreal hits a new high when Trump gives Putin a Broadway-like reception in Alaska, complete with red carpets and flyovers—yet yielding zero diplomatic results. As if that’s not enough, the Trump administration also aims to kill NASA satellites tracking CO2 levels, essentially blinding us to climate change. To wrap up on a lighter note, the host thanks Polly for an ingenious self-cleaning garlic press, a rare joy amidst the chaos.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

A short comedy podcast by a tired Greek millennial in Berlin. Shower thoughts, weird internet garbage, science, tech, AI, geopolitics, microplastics, and other 2 a doom scrolling thoughts stuck in my brain. Also jokes, observations, everyday chaos, and the occasional moments of clarity. So basically it's thoughts, stories and news, combined with an "existential dread / old man yells at cloud" energy and a quiet hope for some alien intervention to save us all. Or I'll go and grow tomatoes back in my village. Anyhow, I’m just talking so you’re not alone with your thoughts. So, press play ;)
