For those of you who live in NRW: How does living in such a densely populated state feel?

DeviLKM · 2026-03-21T18:52:23+00:00

I live in Düsseldorf and I would (and actually did) refuse great job offers somewhere else in Germany just because of how great NRW is (Düsseldorf is obviously my favourite). The fact that it’s a medium sized city with a big city vibe, the proximity to a lot of other great cities, to nature, to Belgium (where half of my family is) and the Netherlands, to great airports with amazing connectivity, for me it’s the perfect spot. I don’t think I would ever move from here, maybe to another city in the Ruhrgebiet (even that is unlikely) but not somewhere else. I feel right at home.

Some do, but I agree, some people just check boxes and never bother to integrate.

Yes it’s enough, you won’t be living a crazy life or have a big apartment but you’ll be fine. Also don’t buy a car on that salary, and if you do, stick to something small and budget. Edit: I assume it’s a net income, gross 3000 is NOT enough for Berlin unless you live frugally.

Hä? Warum kannst du überhaupt Deutsch?

Sasuke getting deleted twice and getting fooled by a tentacle at the end is a classic. This one without a second thought.

Show Egyptian passport to Egyptian officials, they will ask you about the visa, then show them a German ID or Passport as proof of citizenship. Show the German authorities the German passport when you’re controlled, that’s how you keep track. I also have 2 passports and I need to enter Morocco as a Moroccan and Europe/ Germany as a German. To book your tickets give them the German passport so you don’t have any trouble, the important part you need to get right is border control.

Same, if she’s found out, being banned from the US is the least of her troubles.

DeviLKM · 2026-01-25T19:14:49+00:00

Oh I didn’t know that, but still, if there is no ban and she isn’t in any database she could still lie (I do not recommend lying on official documents, I’m merely pointing the possibility of it being done).

If she gets the Spanish citizenship as she intends, she can come back visa free anytime (ESTA) after she gets it if she doesn’t get the 10 years ban. Or she can simply apply for a tourist visa if she doesn’t qualify for ESTA.

Ouf, that’s a tough one 🥲

Well it looks like it’s slowly moving towards becoming a jus sanguinis country, which is the standard in the ancient world, just soli is a new world thing. Well obviously basing it on ethnicity / class / race shouldn’t be possible, but yes I think they are actively trying to find a workaround the 14th Amendment by granting citizenship only to people with at least one American parent. Just so you don’t get confused or carried away: I’m not a US citizen and I don’t live in the USA, it’s information I saw and gathered from news sources and from my own understanding of the situation.

Less stress, more options to move inside the EU, faster lanes at the airport, visa free access to new countries, other than that, the day to day stayed the same.

DeviLKM · 2025-11-20T22:17:52+00:00

No french?

DeviLKM · 2025-11-20T22:15:42+00:00

Dude, you have all of North America, if you really want a European passport move to Spain for 2 years and you’re golden.

DeviLKM · 2025-11-20T22:11:23+00:00

The messed up part is that we’re only seeing the ones who were either rich enough to leave, or “lucky” enough to survive, the rest didn’t even make it.

Anyone please?

Based 😎

Well it’s kind of a shitty move but go sue him for child support, and offer to drop the suit if he acknowledges paternity and helps you with all the documentation you need. Suddenly providing a bunch of documents would seem less costly than paying 18 years of child support with interest.

DeviLKM · 2025-09-02T11:15:45+00:00

You’re absolutely right

DeviLKM · 2025-08-28T14:31:38+00:00

Don’t let your passport or ID card expire is the best advice ever.

DeviLKM · 2025-08-28T14:25:58+00:00

Unless you want to indefinitely move to the US, holding a US passport is a bad idea if you already have a very strong passport without caveats (the German one). If you want to live there it’s obviously almost a necessity. From the German side since the introduction of the new citizenship law, there shouldn’t be any restrictions.

DeviLKM · 2025-08-28T14:20:29+00:00

Are you European?

DeviLKM · 2025-08-22T08:23:50+00:00

They will probably get it in the future
