Deepl is the same company as linguee, which is a dictionary that shows you examples of the words in actual text, so you get the context.

Thanks for the clarification. I would even say that I mostly agree with the sentiment. Immigration has been a pointless discussion for years now and I think no party (except the AFD) actually profited from it. SPD and die Grünen have both failed to disspell the AFD narrative.

Well…I think you lost me. The really sudden loss of your job sucks, no matter what. I agree that a lot of people get laid off every day, but I feel sorry for them too. Employee protections in the US are also terrible compared to a lot of other countries. This situation is different, because it is so random, so far reaching and connected with a lot more insecurity. An ailing company may fire people…that is something you can see coming, but what is happening right now is just senseless and not very smart. A lot of things will break and in the end people will die, many people will leave the country and the economy will tank.

While I can only guess, I think he/she meant that all the stupid things the government has done so far should not have come as a surprise to anyone. They announced most of it and even the things they kept “quiet” were pretty obvious. So government employees could have searched for alternative jobs beforehand and kind of “brace for impact” and unions could have planned a coordinated response to bullshit firings. Lawsuits could have (and actually have) been prepared so that it would not take months to react to all the stupid stuff that’s happening now.

Or maybe I am completely wrong :)

Bold statement. Do you have any examples? I would disagree, but maybe I just don’t quite understand what you meant.

Your feeling for how much things will/should cost will be completely off. Some things will seem crazy expensive, while others are really cheap.

Others said it, but I’ll say it as well: Germans tend to be very friendly, but are not very open. It takes time for us to open up. In my experience, a lot of things (emotions for example) aren’t said directly but are said jokingly.

Germans tend to be direct and use short sentences. Something that can be answered with just one word, WILL be answered with just one word. That can sometimes seem like a harsh reaction to a simple question but really isn’t meant as such.

If you’re still in school, it can be very different from what you know. Same goes for university. There are a lot less activities at school (clubs), but that frees up time to do things outside of school. So you have to organize you free-time by yourself and you might just spend that with friends.

I guess you will also be walking more. This is totally based on my stereotype of American car-focused city building. The larger the cities are in Germany, the worse they get for driving with cars. All larger cities have a good public transport system and that naturally means that one has to walk more (to/from stations). I noticed that myself, when I moved from the countryside to the city.

If the patients hadn’t been transgender, this would not have been dropped. It is illegal to share that data no matter what…

All of which cost more than a 100000 dollars but were still somehow bought on a whim for that one experiment that one time…

He’s not just being polite but he made the conscious decision that this store is the one he wants to support because they were willing to lose revenue in order to help the customer.

I think it points to the character on the left that looks a bit like a character from “Among us”. And they used the available icons to write a name close enough to that (Abong up)

But that’s just a guess…

I…don’t get it. This is an old way to help a child that has something stuck in their throat. I mean, the heimlich maneuver was first described in 1974, so I guess this WAS in fact the best technique at the time. Keeping someone from suffocating is kind of important, and this seems like something you can do fast and easy (at least with a relatively small person).

I think you already gave yourself the answer in your own case:

Because I give zero crap about what other people think of me.

This applies to people that aren’t in your inner circle. You want HER to be in that circle and suddenly it actually does matter what SHE thinks of you. You have little to lose with people you don’t really care about, but everything to lose with people you do care about. It’s an evil social twist that makes everything so complicated. High self-esteem is just the ability to quickly pull yourself up when you fall and the knowledge that you actually CAN do so. It mitigates the risks of “putting yourself out there”.

Well…they 'how’l all the fricken time without being asked!

Not op, but I really liked this video, as it explains quite a bit. It is of course a biased video, but still…

Please tell me there is an orange cat called Närütö as well…

Beautiful cat btw :)

Be honest and just communicate your worries. Don’t ask strangers, ask her. You can tell her the same things you wrote here. That you’re out of the dating game and unsure what’s going on, but that your intentions and wishes haven’t changed and that you just wanted to check, whether the two of you are still on the same page.

Openness and communication is key for every relationship. Besides…the first step into a relationship is dropping the game of “coolness” and letting her see the real you, with all the emotions and insecurities there may be.

You might have misophonia.

Also…I try to imagine kids as little robot machines. They do their thing and they make their sounds like little choo choo trains. This image also underlines that they often just react to things. Input; output. So the focus shifts from the kid to the situation and the surroundings (as does the blame).

Add Youtube to the list…

We are the society and judging other people’s behaviour is what defines morality. Not speaking up about things that are clearly fucked up as the model industry just shifts the whole moral-scale in their favor.

Thank you for your reply and thank you for hiding the spoilers.
