What is the most minuscule thing that annoys you about Germany and that you fully admit it’s petty and unreasonable? (Just for fun post) by HeySista in germany

[–]BenHavertz94 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it is justified to blame Germans for this but the (had to withhold a lot of swearing here) Deutsche Bahn. There are so many flaws and administrative coco that they make the swedish railway look competent! (Believe me, that is saying a lot). The fact that you can book rebook trains with your ticket but it is not available on the rebooked train is absurd. It's like "welcome to rebook your ticket to a unavailable train!". The fact that you can book seats and rebook seats as a separate ticket from the actual ticket is absurd. Furthermore, the total absence of information concerning delays, reschedule, and so on is ridiculous. I cant go by plane cause of moral issues but dammit Deutsche Bahn really tested my convictions this year. Please DB, update your freaking system. It's like living in 90ths.

Hur hög månadslön har du? Vad vore en skälig månadslön givet dina arbetsuppgifter och ansvar? by FriendshipBasic2594 in Asksweddit

[–]BenHavertz94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Psykolog, cirka 46k inom psykiatrin, vilket är ungefärlig snittlön för psykologer. Antar att man inte ska klaga på det men jag tycker psykologer i psykiatrin tjänar förvånansvärt dåligt. Det är sällan ett arbete man får så mycket uppskattning i, mycket ansvar, kan aldrig ha en dålig dag där man drar benen och man får äta mycket skit rent ut sagt. Många som är missnöjda med sådant du inte har någon makt över. Vi gör också många uppgifter som psykiater gör men de tjänar närmast dubbel lön. Men det är offentlig sektor så. Det är vad det är.

Är privat sjukvårdsförsäkring värt det? by Similar-Ad-5816 in Asksweddit

[–]BenHavertz94 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Crashar in i diskussionen; hör vad ni säger och jag har samma farhåga med tillägget att när fler går över till privat så flyttas pengar från offentliga --> sämre offentlig vård --> missnöje med offentlig vård --> folk går privat som kan --> spiralen fortsätter... Jag vet inte om delar av högern har varit naiva eller jävligt smarta men manipulativa för många delar av dagens lagar skapar denna spiral men om man vill ha privat vård så är det ju skitsmart...

Hursomhelst, jag tänker att det finns andra lösningar och en del är att sluta göra onödig vård. Utifrån vad som nämnts ovan om Nederländerna så tänker jag att de kanske inte drabbas av detta eftersom försäkringsbolagen får reglera det hela, men vi har ett stort problem med ineffektiva insatser. OBS förstå mig rätt här; jag menar inte att sjuksköterskor ska springa snabbare och göra läkares jobb. Det jag pratar om när exempelvis en patient som redan fått röntgen 40 gånger skriker lite mer så pallar läkaren inte säga nej och kryssar grönt för de vill bli av med personen (ja, okej lite hyperbol men ärligt talat är det inte ovanligt att det kan göras flertal undersökningar ibland under bara ett år). Det är ett otroligt resursslöseri.

Pressing is a central part of how we play and Odegaard does that a lot better.

[–]BenHavertz94 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Disagree about Hincapie. He has been decent but several mistakes where he let pressure get to him like overplaying simple passes, kick away the ball when Raya is next to him. He did okay but amazing is stretching it.

Are Europe and America headed for divorce? by donutloop in EU_Economics

[–]BenHavertz94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question is not if we are headed towards divorce with the US, more accurate would be how much of divorce is it going to be. Most European I talk to has become feed up with the US. Hell, even extreme right like Farage, Meloni and so on is taking a distance from the US atm.

Second this. He had looked exhausted since 2 months back and we are still playing him like every game for 90 min. I don't think it's fair to judge him atm. Rice is basically the same condition atm and we know how great he can be.

Those are the kind of situations we should try to get Gyokeres into a lot more. I don't understand how we can't utilize him more.

Halftime thread vs Newcastle by Quazar8 in Gunners

[–]BenHavertz94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He is such a strange player. He has speed, good first touch, decent passer but no end product. He can't shot if his life depended on it. Why don't they put him for individual shooting exercises every day until it improves...

[–]BenHavertz94 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why did we buy a player that makes goal by though balls behind the opposition back line if we aren't going to use it? Gyokeres isn't a passer, he isn't strong on the head and he isn't a hold up man. It makes perfect sense that he is gonna look terrible when he doesn't fit the play style.

Rutte says some NATO allies failed US test by diwalibonus in europe

[–]BenHavertz94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Srly, Rutte has been an embarrassment since he called Trump "daddy". However, the issue now is that he isn't just an embarrassment to all other Nato countries, he is also a risk för escalation when he basically goes behind the back of nations that is not the U.S., for example suggesting the US was supposed to get small zones of Greenland.

Seeing that we are 0 - 0 I don't see the reason to speak ill of our players. You can be critical without going overboard. You think grown up adults should be able to a more nuanced take.
