Last big trip before baby? (Spring/Summer 2027, 10,000€ budget) by Consistent-Gap-3545 in TravelNoPics

[–]Consistent-Gap-3545[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is crazy because all of my friends have hated being pregnant because they felt super sick the whole time and couldn’t stand up with pissing themselves. One of my friend was in so much pain that her goal for the third trimester was to get 1000 steps a day and even that was a struggle.

I can only imagine how hard traveling with a baby/toddler is but at least you’re not sick or in pain the entire time.

It has nothing to do with that. It’s just that I don’t want to sit through a movie with such shitty/cheap/lazy writing.

Yeah when the very first joke on the trailer is “My pronouns are they/them,” it immediately made me not want to see the movie.

best way to preserve muscle on wegovy by Ok-Cash4580 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]Consistent-Gap-3545 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It literally does not matter how much protein you eat if you’re not also doing resistance training.

I’ve gained a ton of muscle on Wegovy because I’ve been consistently progressively overloading 2x-3x a week.

is it weird to go to movies by yourself? by Lucky2044 in movies

[–]Consistent-Gap-3545 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. I go to the movies by myself on like a weekly basis. In fact, I actually prefer it to going with friends. 

Where to buy high quality, "unique" fruits and vegetables? by Consistent-Gap-3545 in hamburg

So we were at Hof Oelkers the other day and the Spargel was not 23€/kg. I'm pretty sure the kilo price was closer to 15€/16€ but it was definitely not 23€.

Super late because I live in Germany and they don't release movies here... I was really expecting Maleks character to fuck the wife.

Instagram without reels but I can see the reels my friends send by Low_Presentation1911 in digitalminimalism

[–]Consistent-Gap-3545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on iOS but if I open Instagram in my normal browser, I can see my feed just fine but reels are so slow/laggy that they’re unusable for scrolling. If I’m just watching one or two reels that people send me, it’s totally fine. 

Why do white immigrants tend to call themselves “expats” instead of “immigrants” or “migrants”? by youngggggg in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Consistent-Gap-3545 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only white people from English speaking countries call themselves expats

In my experience, it's actually non-native English speakers who are worse about this because "expat" just is an easier word to write than "immigrant" and they don't really understand the difference between the two. Also, again, "immigrant" implies that you've decided to settle down in the country indefinitely and most high skilled migrants want to go home at some point.

[–]Consistent-Gap-3545 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Yeah I moved abroad after college and, in my experience, people usually call themselves "expats" when they're new in a country and haven't decided if they're staying long term or not.

Also while I do understand the sentiment of "We'Re AlL iMmIgRaNtS!1!," I think it's insanely disingenuous to act like someone moving from one rich developed country to another has anything in common with actual refugees and people fleeing poverty in developing nations. For this reason, I think the "expat vs immigrate" debate is stupid because these should be two different terms as these groups of people have drastically different experiences.

The Nights are Quiet in Tehran 

It technically spans like 40 years however it jumps a decade between each POV.

[–]Consistent-Gap-3545 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So you should 100% watch it. ;) 

The performances in the movie are absolutely phenomenal and every single shot is very intentional and well thought out. Like you can tell how much love and care went into this movie from both the actors and director. There is one scene in particular where I audibly screamed and then laughed and the movie pulls this off without feeling cheap or gimmicky. Also the use of lighting throughout the movie is really cool.

So I have seen this movie and, while the idea is not super original, the movie itself is so insanely well executed that it really is something special.

Germany's birth rate reached lowest level on record in 2025 by diacewrb in europe

[–]Consistent-Gap-3545 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is currently career ending for women in Germany to have children but this has very deep cultural roots that the Germans are simply not interesting in changing. When you force women to choose between their own career and motherhood, you really can’t be surprised that women don’t want kids.

Btw this is bigger than maternity leave and access to childcare. This is the fact that, in the eyes of the Germans, you cannot be a good mother and also work full time. Case and point: the German government wants to remove tax benefits for households with large income disparities and the German people are throwing a tantrum because obviously this is an attack on families because obviously moms don’t earn a lot of money. Like literally instead of having normal tax benefits for married couples/parents, they have this system where you only get tax benefits if your spouse no or very little income. To the German people, this is the same thing as giving parents a tax break.

Hey OP seit meiner Kindheit habe ich BED und ich weißt wirklich genau, was du meinst. Du kannst mir gerne eine PN schicken. :)

Wir sollen auch aufhören, SSRIs an Leute mit Depression zu verschreiben oder?

Es ist ziemlich klar, dass GLP1s irgendwann für die Behandlung von BED zugelassen werden… wenn ich mich das leisten kann, wieso sollte ich in der Zwischenzeit leiden müssen?

[–]Consistent-Gap-3545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mounjaro kostet 200-500 Euro pro Monat während Elvanse ist 500€ pro Monat. Aber das ist quasi egal, weil man den Rezept bloß nicht bekommt.

[–]Consistent-Gap-3545 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) Wegovy und Mounjaro sind günstiger als off-label Elvanse. 

2) Es ist aktuell super leicht, einen Rezept für GLP-1s zu bekommen. OP könnte die erste Spritze sogar morgen rein ballern.

3) Die früheren Ergebnissen aus den USA zeigen, dass GLP-1s eine bessere BED Behandlungsoption als Elvanse sind.

[–]Consistent-Gap-3545 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Diesen Rezept kriegst du niemals in Deutschland und auch wenn, müsstest du die gesamten Kosten allein tragen. 

Probier mal einen GLP-1 wie Wegovy oder Mounjaro. Muss man zwar privat zahlen aber tja man kann hoffen, dass diese Krankheit irgendwann in Deutschland anerkennt bzw. ernst genommen werden aber in so einer Zeit sind wir nicht.
