明明你我呼吸里都带氧份
明明你我身份理应对等
为何要我吞声气忍你过份
为何你眼睛总看不见人
若没学历地位怎表态
你眼中要几多几多身家先参拜
你那天秤一早已歪
标准怎理解
低踩高攀是什麽心态
请你别要太放任
旧日我没呼叫别当我笨
极没法容忍再被困
就此释放怒愤
这刻要换你悔恨
So what have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
What have you done?
明明你我只不过差了姓名
明明你我身份证都有星
为何没戴真皮已彷似缺憾
为何着对高踭会高过人
权力或待遇用什麽收买
你眼中要几多几多身家先参拜
你那天秤一早已歪
标准怎理解
低踩高攀是什麽心态
请你别要太放任
旧日我没呼叫别当我笨
极没法容忍再被困
就此释放怒愤
这刻要换你悔恨
So what have you done?

受够面口 官腔早不太入流
白领红颈 左转前方找出口

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of M.t.b.'s song "Have You Ever" convey a sense of frustration and anger towards societal inequality and the unfair treatment experienced by the singer. The song begins by highlighting the similarities between the singer and the person they address, emphasizing that they both breathe the same air and deserve equal treatment.

@kevboard

did you know there are new episodes?

the show has a cult following in germany. and the german TV station RTL2 produced multiple new episodes (the first 2 were actually filmed with german actors and were awful, they switched back to an American cast after that), which are currently broadcast every Halloween. but it seems like they want to go back into full production, as 8 new episodes have been filmed, featuring among others Danny Trejo it seems!

Frakes, of course, is also back as the presenter.

Not sure if these new episodes are also broadcast outside of german speaking countries. but it would be a waste if they weren't, given that they are filmed in english.

it's called X-Factor in germany btw... which became very confusing after the music show of the same name was licended for germany lol

@animusswtor4822

I think I’ll dedicate my Friday afternoon to answering all these:
-yes and I even wandered to the wrong one once and got surprised why my keys didn’t work
-biking yes, but not on mountains though
-I wanted to be an actor or writer, now my more realistic goal is becoming a tax consultant
-depends where you eat I guess and how the service was
-nope no problems with my sink
-not that much honestly
-not that much honestly
-no I wouldn’t I like my walls simple and empty
-I had a bird once when I was a kid but not anymore
-yeah I like sweets
-sometimes I wanna when I’m having unlucky days but nah not really
-not tested but I probably should cuz I needed to listen to this 4 times to understand what you were saying
-no trips planned sadly
-yes and he’s still a Good friend of mine (he’s like 2,10m)

@StefanWB

Ok Jonathan, I'll bite. Let me answer your questions:

-- Yes, I think everyone has forgotten where they parked their car at least once. Of course, now we have smart phones so you can just take a photo of your car and the sector you're parked in.
-- No, I've never gone mountain biking. I'm too much of a fatass.
-- I'm 33 years old, Jonathan. But when I was a kid, I first wanted to be a footballer, then I wanted to be a writer. Neither came/have come true.
-- In the UK, we don't feel obligated to leave a tip if we didn't think the service was good. But in London, it's normal to tip about 10 percent for good service, and some restaurants do include service charge so you don't have to but if you want to be nice you can still leave a little something for your server.
-- Yes, we just had a radiator replaced.
-- Not very superstitious. I've walked under ladders before.
-- I'm not scared of cemeteries, but I do hate the outdoors. I dunno, maybe a grand?
-- No, I think hunting trophies are kinda gross.
-- Yes, two cats. They're the loves of my life.
-- A massive sweet touch, Jonathan. Again, fatass.
-- Curses aren't real, Jonathan.
-- I had my hearing tested last year. I used to be a drummer, so my hearing isn't that great.
-- I haven't been away since before COVID so yes I feel very overdue for a nice holiday.
-- I've been to wrestling shows before, and some of them are very tall.
-- Not really. I'm an indoors-y sort of bloke.
-- I don't believe that real estate agents are actually big stars. We have a housing crisis in this country, and everyone mortgages are more expensive due to the unstable Pound. So it's a sore topic, Jonathan.
-- Not as careful as I should be.
-- I'm pretty good with computers, but yes sometimes they can still drive you bonkers.
-- Yes, London had a good Chinatown near the theatre district, had some very good meals there.
-- They're called car boot sales here, Jonathan. And yes, many times.
-- I was driving in the U.S. with my dad (Chicago to St. Louis) and yes we stopped at at truck stop.
-- No, I've never been a waiter.
-- Theme restaurants is mostly an American thing, Jonathan. Most good restaurants near me are private or small chains, and their theme is good food, or regional/national (Italian, French, Indian, etc.)
-- Everyone has had that temptation, but I've never done it. I don't think public vandalism is a good thing.

I like to imagine all the Star Trek cast and crew avoiding Jonathan Frakes because this is what he actually does when the cameras stop rolling.

It’s why his mother has a poster of Picard on her fridge and not him.
