used to buy Esquire for some time like a decade ago mainly for that section where famous people were sharing some of their wisdoms in the format of short sentences or apothegms

I never did read magazines.

>>14742 >The annual Sexiest Woman Alive feature ran between 2003 and 2015, billed as a benchmark of female attractiveness and consisting of a photoshoot and profile of the winning woman. >The feature was criticized for objectifying women. In a Slate article following Penélope Cruz's 2014 Sexiest Woman Alive profile, Katy Waldman called the article the "latest icky entry in the icky genre" and describing it as using "rapt, creepy, overheated language to say practically nothing about his subject, except that she is 'impossibly beautiful,' 'has no physical flaws,' 'looks like a thousand different women,' and 'can be whatever we want her to be.' (So, nothing.)". Feminists always getting in the way of a good thing

Bernd used to read AnimaniA. An anime magazine published in Germany from middle 90s until recently. But Bernd stopped reading it around 2008 when the editorial changed and the old writers made space for younger ones. Since then Bernd only reads stuff on internet.

Gamestar and Computerbild Spiele when this was still a thing, they came with a game or two on CD. Now nothing, on rare occasions maybe a National Geographic or PM at the airport so I can feel more intellekshual.

There's a history magazine that I read every month in the library Occasionally read a certain vidya magazine in the library, and other magazines if there's something in it that seems interesting

I have an interest in vintage art-, satire and erotic magazines. You often find German language ones here on flea markets and such.

>>14746 >But Bernd stopped reading it around 2008 when the editorial changed and the old writers made space for younger ones Were they shitter than the older ones? >>14751 >maybe a National Geographic or PM at the airport so I can feel more intellekshual Samesies >>14755 Have you ever bought any? What's your favourite?

>>14764 Yes, a bunch. My favs are any that were printed during WW1 and containing political sketches relating to it.

>>14745 I didn't that much care about the glitter part and yeah, they published some actual short stories

>>14764 >Were they shitter than the older ones? Sadly yes. The older ones where the same generation as Bernd and wrote the way Bernd understood and was used to. The new ones used a more younger way of expression and Bernd struggled hard to understand anything. Also the quality dropped because the new ones did not research very deeply and often wrote shorter articles.
