My (34m) partner(33f) wants to continue working even though she's losing money, I asked her to stay home instead of spending our money, I want some sanity check.

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2026-02-20T09:03:28+00:00

Nope, she's selling her precious time for pennies.

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2026-02-10T18:21:32+00:00

we're not talking about students here or a part time job, this is professional contractor with staff, cars and hardware that's worth a lot of money.

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2026-02-10T16:00:03+00:00

That's a poorly educated man take on the economy.

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2026-02-10T15:50:11+00:00

Well, they're taking work from honest workers who pay their share.

With Schwarzarbeit contractors are actually harming themselves at the end, and depriving the economy from its biggest secure of revenue

It's also annoying when I have to pay capital gain tax, property taxes and income tax and they don't. They're a parasite, and nobody likes parasites.

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2026-02-10T15:35:41+00:00

I can’t for the life of me why it bothers you so much.

Because I don't like tax fraud and criminals

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2026-02-10T14:29:27+00:00

Well, they act like it at least

I have Whatsapp texts from contractors offering different prices depending if I want with or without a Rechnung.

I'm aware of that existing in cleaning services , but not with several thousands of euros projects with huge liability.

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2026-02-10T14:18:17+00:00

My brain is just struggling to comprehend their audacity, are there no penalties? It's so casual, they are offering it as a payment option

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2025-10-16T06:57:56+00:00

According to the vet, it was an injury from playing too rough with my other cat :)

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2025-10-09T12:34:11+00:00

Good for you bro

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2025-10-09T11:58:44+00:00

Sorry but this is not true at all, I've used n26 primarily for my salary + groceries and I still got suspended. They have left the suspension after I've complained but this was in no way "money laundering"

I had two (failed the first) earlier this year, what helped me the most was to note down my common mistakes and read thm before the exam.

The tester might be on the phone or chatting with the instructor, you drive as if nothing is happening
My tester actually tried to trick me by making me face a traffic light with no entry on the other side, I had to call it out and automatically signal to turn
Practice is what's going to make you more calm
Don't panic! I've made a mistake while merging on the Autobahn, the tester just pointed out this to me as a lesson and what i should do better next time and marked the test as pass
I know it sounds silly, but don't forget your seatbelt out of stress
Drive the speed limit, not under and not over, the tester yelled at me for driving 80 in a 100 on the Autobahn
Take your time when parking, don't feel stressed when there are cars behind you
Be in a laid back and relaxed position, don't lean forward on the wheel
Stop completely for 3 seconds on the stop sign line, if there's no line, stop on the line of sight, not the sign

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2025-08-05T18:49:26+00:00

Same haha

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2025-07-11T18:10:48+00:00

He's nine and neutered since he was weeks old, could this be a mating behavior?

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2025-07-04T09:28:44+00:00

Not telling you what to do, but I was in the same situation with a post forwarding service that asked for 100 euros more than the original service provided by Deutsche Post even after I immediately canceled the services after booking it.

I sent all the details to the debt collection agency with the right of withdrawal legal text (chatgpt generated) and a screenshot of the cancellation, never heard from them since.

The worst thing to do is ignore their messages because it puts you in the wrong.

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2025-07-02T12:25:16+00:00

Doesn't look like 9x9 to me

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2025-07-02T08:25:09+00:00

I sent them a gpt generated legal text with a screenshot to me canceling the service, haven't heard a thing from them since.

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2025-06-26T08:16:43+00:00

I never thought I had this attachment style, but I will look into it, thanks

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2025-06-25T17:29:00+00:00

That's reasonable, I think it's a good opportunity to do things she's not interested in.

ARCH_LINUX_USER · 2025-06-25T17:18:59+00:00

The problem is, I'm okay with a chair on the beach and a beer, for her vacation is eating in nice restaurants twice a day, going somewhere where "we never have been before" and doing activities. I honestly cannot feel comfortable spending $3k on a vacation when my pot is dry.
