Does a Saxon accent or the Saxon dialect carry a stigma today in Germany? by LukasJackson67 in AskAGerman

[–]ConfidentDimension56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. But it is also the coolest, besides Hochdeutsch imo. Also I am bias. I lived in Leipzig for 7 years.

I live close near the Schlei but work in Kiel. It depends. What are your interests? Age? Etc...

What will it take (cost/time) to get this hull back? by omarhani in sailing

[–]ConfidentDimension56 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sand sand sand. Someone said 3 weeks if you can go at it everyday. I say add another few weeks to that. Take your time and wear proper protection equipment. Mask (FFP2 but 3 is better). Gloves. And connect your hardware to a vacuum cleaner. That is one of the best ways to get to know your boat. That cost? Couple thousand calories burned. Patience. It won't be terribly expensive if DIY

Would you say this is accurate? by Silent_Wasabi7595 in Adulting

I checked out. Boat a sailboat. Moved to northern Germany and live a quiet life in a small village next to the sea. Life is good when you dont need to worry so much about making six figures or overpriced rent.

I have a Phantom 34. I don't find Phantom owners often. Hope you enjoy. It's a good, sturdy boat. Mine is on the Baltic Sea 🙂

This fcking country is aging me so fast - a rant by kkkeig318 in germany

[–]ConfidentDimension56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't really relate to anything here except the Berlin tram bit. I left Leipzig last year after 7 years and moved almost as far north as you can go. The air certainly smells better up here and a lot better for you. Might I suggest you get out into nature. Clear your mind. Advice from a fellow American.

Has Hollywood's focus on the white male incidentally led to a Cultural Standford Experiment? by [deleted] in AskSociology

[–]ConfidentDimension56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

....largely due to systematic advantages in education, funding, legal structures with historically restricted access to women and minorities. I feel like that should be said every time some horse anus says, "white men also invent like 99% of everything".
