The most german thing is to read that no problem at the first try. But our language is cheating with the combining words thing.

For example?

It’s something that you just get used to. When I had to travel long distance in a cramped bus daily I used to sleep on the way. The effect was so strong I from doing this every day that I really had to fight falling asleep in every bus I rode on after that. Now the habit is gone again.

When you see how insanely high some fines were the whole approach of punishing music piracy destroyed countless lives and cost a ton of people a lot of money. I think there was even prsion time for some. For something that doesn’t even hurt the Industry. People who participate in that shit are literal villains.

The fines were so out of proportion. It’s like I sit on your glasses and now i have to pay you $100k

Such an idiocracy headline.

I would recommend you to read the book factfulness, it’s available for free because Bill Gates thought everyone should read it.

From germany, müsli Oats with nuts and fresh fruit, with milk or yoghurt in it Wouldn’t eat cereal for breakfast, because it’s the same as eating candy

I would pick up a used ebike. I bought two cube ebikes for 800€ each and they were as good as new.

What about uncles and aunts? Grandparents don’t just have one family to take care of. Also when I was born my grandparents were still working a long time, and now I have a son and his grandparents will be working for 15+years at least. I could never ever get my parents to move closer to me. Also they would have to abandon my siblings who live closer to them.

Not if you have a bery specialized job, or a job that requires moving. Think about doing a PHD, or even just being a teacher in germany the state will sort you into a school. You cannot not pick a city as a teacher, just give 3(?) preferences.

If both people in a marriage have very specialized jobs it’s hard enough to find two jobs in the same city. Imagine doing this with two or three generations of people.

It’s usually mor eebexpensive in smaller communties. I paid 3000€+ about 10 years ago and was surprised that people in cities sometimes got them for 1500-2000€

Yeah I don’t want to sound riled up or anything, but avoiding US local news is getting annoying. Even german newspapers and radio are full of it. It’s just not something I expect to see in worldnews.

This isn’t world news.

Who can’t do anything else? That’s pretty demeaning and rude

Why?
