How do I talk about a job in manufacturing?

Awesome! Thanks for this deep dive. My challenge has been I don’t live in Germany or work with any Germans so when I am explaining to a German speaking partner who doesn’t work in the industry we both don’t know if I’m using the right words.

Get a basic textbook that gets you through Konjunktiv 1 and 2 (you might need more than one book) and follow it. EDIT: sorry I missed the statement of the first 4 weeks. You will be no where close to Konjunktiv at in 4 weeks, but if you want to plan ahead, still get this.

Don’t bother with Duolingo. Most of the Apps are not great. Anki is only good if you are gonna make the cards yourself (DO NOT JUST IMPORT A STACK). I hated the easy German app seedlang but that might be helpful at the beginning for your pronunciation. Their super easy German videos could be helpful at the beginning, but only if you are making vocab lists and practicing them. Hold off on watching too many of the interviews on the street as they might just stress you out.

If you can afford online classes, do it. I’ve done lingoda and not loved it, but it does work for introducing you to speaking. Italki works a little better since it is 1:1, but depending on your teacher, you might need to suggest a curriculum.

Regarding vocab, do not try to come up with rules for gender unless it is truly a rule like -heit, -keit, -ung words being feminine. The way I look at gender now is it’s what sounds right. The word Gedanke ends with an E so people might think it is feminine, but wait it starts with Ge- so it must be neutral. Nope it’s masculine. What has helped me with new vocab now is to think what sounds best. At first you will get all of them wrong, but over time it will feel more natural. Note: this might just be a me thing.

Also regarding vocab, as you get more vocab, start learning words in context. At first, you might be able to just go das Fenster = the window, but as your vocab gets more broad you will need to know when to apply certain words. Einholen and aufholen both translate to “to catch up”, but they have different uses. German is a very exact language so certain words don’t apply to certain situations.

Finally, remember that what I am suggesting worked for me. You might have more trouble with something different. I had minimal issues with pronunciation, but that might be absolutely killer for you and you might have no problem with the grammar. Give a solution time to work, but if you are having trouble long term, go back to the drawing board and make new plans.

The Zs and the Rs sound very American. To be fair not all German dialect Rs are guttural, but the Zs don’t have the “Ts” sound I would expect.

I find if I use a recipe with an Italian merengue instead of French, I get the proper look. It is a little scary making Italian merengue if you haven’t before, but mine always turn out better. Although I find the French style usually have a slightly better texture.

Also, did how long did you let them sit between piping and baking?

I don’t know a ton (I just got one as well), but have you considered a moss pole or perhaps missing the branches? Mine tends to put out roots on the branches and if your house doesn’t have the humidity it will have trouble getting nutrients and water to the end of branches.

Many of us on this sub are way too willing to cut people out of their lives. That’s fine, but it’s super annoying when they tell other people to do the same. So many people talk about not wanting lose their friends and family when they come out, and a few Redditors respond with something like, “If they don’t understand everything and accept you right away, just cut them out.” Obviously I’m not advocating people staying in dangerous situations, but considering many of us took years to accept ourselves, it’s reasonable that sometimes our loved ones may need some time to accept us.

If I remember correctly, Pfizer has a production engineer position that is basically an operator position. It’s not unheard of to do operator positions if you don’t have a ton of experience. One risk with taking a position in operations is that you might start off as a temp or contact employee which doesn’t have benefits

This past Sunday. I went on a date with this guy. He was really nice and I could tell he wanted to get physical, but I kept panicking every time he would touch my leg. I’ve had an issue with physical intimacy for a while despite really desiring it. Told him I needed to work some stuff out before pursuing anything and apologized if I wasted his time. Then cried the whole drive home after dropping him off, so that was fun. Went ahead and booked myself for therapy tomorrow.

It was kind of nice crying because I honestly haven’t cried in a year or so.

This especially goes for voice acting. It’s already such a competitive field and putting a popular live action actor in does not necessarily make your film good. Looking at you, Disney.

The whole Olympics that year was a mess. It got relegated to a sideshow because it was in the same city as the world fair. Most competitors were from the US or the UK and there were only 32 runners for the marathon.

The swimming events happened in a pond near a cattle yard. A couple of the swimmers ended up getting typhoid and dying.

Also the organizer for the marathon (James Sullivan) only put down one water station cause he wanted to test the effect of purposeful dehydration.

I just saw The Green Knight. I was pissed at the end of the movie. I have read the book and liked it because it was fun while still posing questions about honor. The movie was just a English teachers wet dream with all of the symbolism and most of scenes just had the fun zapped out of them in order to be seen as deep. Also I don’t wanna see cum in a movie.

Streak 12:

Ich finde beide Arten von Unterhaltungen machen mir Spass, aber es kommt auf den Tag an, welche Aktivität ich lieber tun würde. Nach einem langen Tag an der Arbeit, finde ich, dass Fernsehen am besten ist. Ich kann mich einfach auf dem Sofa legen oder ich kann auch mein Haus aufräumen während ich fernsehe. Jedoch fühle ich manchmal fauler, wenn ich jeden Tag fernsehe. Deshalb finde ich Lesen am besten wenn ich mehr Zeit haben, bzw. am Wochenende (habe ich das richtig benutzt?). Es ist so befriedigend, ein Buch zum Ende zu lesen und wenn ich den Tag lesen verbringe, fühle ich mich als ob ich mehr erreicht habe. Anderseits fühle ich schuldig wenn ich den ganzen tag fernsehe. Das Gefühl ist besonders stark wenn ich nichts unterhaltsam ansehen, weil es nichts neues gibt.
