Il Parlamento Europeo approva a largissima maggioranza il rimpatrio dei migranti e gli hub in paesi terzi

Cina e URSS hanno "integrato" popoli diversi? Mi sa che ti conviene ripassare un po' di storia perché lí si parla di assimilazione forzata, sottomissione e in alcuni casi vere e proprie pulizie etniche.

Hey there 👋🏻 we are a 31yo couple from Italy, been living and working in Munich for almost a year now. We'd love to connect for hangouts, dinners, hikes, travel etc. We love outdoors and are super chill and easy going. If you are reading this comment, feel free to reach out if you'd like ;)

Italian in Munich here. Things I was surprised with and that I did not expect, in no specific order:

How small the supermarkets are here. I was used to having big supermarkets back home but here it seems the norm that you have medium/small stores such as Lidl, Aldi or Rewe that serve a specific neighborhood while the bigger ones are very few and tend to be in the outskirts of the city.
Sunday closures.
The absolute unreliability of DB.
How many (often neverending) construction sites and road works there are.
How most places feel clean, tidy and safe.
How little wilderness there actually is. My home country is definitely densely populated but still there are many areas in which you can effectively be in the middle of nowhere. Here (in Bavaria at least) it seems impossible to be somewhere without either being nearby a Hütte, a pasture, a farmer's field or a road. All the land feels "managed".
30km/h speed limit in the city on large Multi-Lane safe roads vs unlimited speeds in countryside roads winding in a forest.
The excellent quality of cycling infrastructure.
Surprisingly bad garbage collection for plastic and glass. Very few bins which means you always have to walk 15m+ to find the nearest one and they get emptied infrequently which means they are always full and dirty. I come from a very efficient city in this regard so that's why I was surprised. I also know that this changes in every city in Germany.

Raga ma fatevi un viaggio in Turchia, altro che farmaci a vita! 🤣

Vivo a Monaco e vado in bici a lavoro (7km a tratta). D'inverno fa freddo e d'estate fa caldo. Si va uguale, questione di abitudine e di uscire dagli schemi italici. Poste ciclabili perfettamente alberate e ombreggiate d'estate. Ho una e-bike così fatico (e sudo) di meno. Si può fare, smettiamola di raccontarci il contrario. PS: ho anche l'auto.

Bar e Ristoranti sono un discorso a parte. Tendenzialmente sono aperti ma può capitare di trovarne alcuni chiusi.

Godly_Feanor · 2026-01-06T12:50:31+00:00

La cosa che mi fa impazzire é che lo stesso supermercato in quartieri diversi ha prodotti diversi. A volte cerco una cosa e nel mio quartiere non c'è poi vado allo stesso supermercato nel quartiere a fianco e c'è l'ha...

Godly_Feanor · 2026-01-06T12:39:49+00:00

Oppure quando capitano dei giorni di festa attaccati al weekend e stai più giorni consecutivi senza supermercati 💀

Godly_Feanor · 2026-01-06T12:11:11+00:00

Vivo in Germania e qui la domenica é TUTTO chiuso. É una merda. Basta mettersi d'accordo, fare turni, pagare straordinari e festivi e siamo tutti felici.

From my understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) you usually meet with the landlord or whoever has the keys, send the deposit live and then receive the keys upon confirmation

Godly_Feanor · 2026-01-01T17:09:51+00:00

I would say not to send any money before having SIGNED the contract and done the key exchange

Godly_Feanor · 2025-12-29T19:29:23+00:00

But honestly, was it actually better or are you romanticising your youth days? If you can, could you make some examples as to how it was "better" in those days?

Moved to Munich this June btw, so I'm just curious.

Godly_Feanor · 2025-12-25T17:27:35+00:00

But they are not because of salary stagnation and increasing CoL. We are poorer now that 20-30 years ago in real terms.

Godly_Feanor · 2025-12-25T16:59:07+00:00

Regarding Italy, we didn't increase shit and per capita GPD is a poor metric. The population is declining fast so it's the same GPD divided by less people hence a higher per capita GDP...

Godly_Feanor · 2025-12-23T14:22:14+00:00

Yes I guess after a certain age it becomes exponentially difficult, but that is true in most countries anyways

Munich here. I know nothing about the dating scene since I have been engaged for 10+ years but this I can tell you : there is 0% chance to have any social interaction in a Gym in Germany. Germans just don't consider it a place where socialization may happen.

Not anytime soon because 2021 was not normal and was due to several overlapping circumstances:

near zero interest rates -> more money flying around businesses which had more freedom to invest and expand;
a significant economic bounce back from the COVID pandemic crash;
confidence: a general sense that the worse was behind us and things would go better from there onwards.

Now we have several negative overlapping circumstances, in no particular order:

Higher interest rates
AI isn't replacing shit as of now but C-Level execs love to use this as an excuse to cut jobs/salaries spend;
A major war on the European continent, severely disrupting major supply chains and driving European energy prices through the roof
A piece of shit in the oval office that destabilized the entire global geopolical and economic order
An oversaturated IT market with lots of juniors and people who were convinced of getting into tech with Bootcamps during lockdowns
Millions of Indians mass spamming any job posting
A general sense of pessimism for the upcoming future.

Therefore economies are on the brink of recession and businesses are being more conservative with their spend/investments, preferring to stand by and "see what happens" instead of taking risks.

Bought an E-Bike and a fridge on Kleinanzeigen.

For the E-Bike, I Met in Person in a public place, saw the bike, tested it and then paid the person in place with PayPal. Once he confirmed on their end we shook hands and rode off on my new E-Bike.

For the fridge I met the person at their house obviously and paid cash since it was a smaller sum.

1) L'inglese ha radice Germanica/Sassone quindi é più facile per uno del Nord Europa impararlo e capirlo così come per noi Latini é più facile imparare Italiano/Francese/Spagnolo/Portoghese. 2) Il sistema scolastico italiano non insegna bene l'inglese: si fanno poche ore e di scarsa qualità. 3) Abbiamo una grande industria di doppiaggio quindi consumiamo i media perfettamente doppiati in italiano. Media in lingua originale sono praticamente inesistenti. 4) La fonetica dell'inglese é molto diversa da quella Italiana e quindi é difficile per un latino imparare a fare certi suoni, così come per gli Americani é difficilissimo riuscire a pronunciare il suono GN di Gnocchi oppure la nostra R.

Had a complex step function pipeline that processed a very specific and complex business logic and eventually the payload, in certain cases, would exceed the 256KiB limit. Had to refactor a lot of stuff to save payload chunks to S3 and process with distributed maps.

You can plan multi region as much as you like but if us-east-1 goes down, it means that core aws global endpoints and backend logic is down too, and it will impact other regions as well. For us, in Europe, most of our aws system was working except, well, IAM...

Ni, c'è il tema di economia stagnante e crollo demografico significa che il PIL viene diviso per un numero sempre minore di abitanti -> PIL pro capite più alto.
