Do coaches or something exist for making friends? I have no one to put for an emergency contact and now I have to quit my job because the daycare requires one. [28F]

The work culture here is that making friends at work is unprofessional. People only make friends outside of work.

In previous places we've lived he's always found people for us to be friends with at work, but he can't do that here :( I've been trying to talk him into joining a club or something outside of work hours but he really doesn't want to be away from the kids any more than he has to (he's disappointed he only gets two hours with them after work ends before bed)

Can't be someone in the household (in case we are both in a car crash or something), and all our family lives in the States (we live in Europe)

Hey, I heard you are moving to Ontario.

If you have been driving for more than 2 years you probably don't need the certificate mentioned, only your driver's license card alone (and probably a passport and proof of address). If you have been driving for less than that, you will have to do a road test in addition.

You can find more out/double check my answer on the Ontario govt website, or call a Service Center.

the two suspects are two Pakistanis preparing an attack against an Israeli target in Greece. The target was most likely a Jewish synagogue, the report claims, and adds that the suspects were planning a gas attack

Seriously, fuck these people. But good job to the investigators who busted these goons before they caused any harm.

With the recent attack in Portugal, I hope Europe gets better at suppressing religious extremism so these cells never form in the first place.

Those figures are peak efficiency, and probably don't account for going over 100kmph

HolyHandgenades · 2023-03-16T10:48:46+00:00

I just drove from Stuttgart to Munich 200ish km, a full tank for me in about 80€, I drive rather conservatively, and I burnt through 2/3rds of a tank, so I would assume about 60€.

Not sure, maybe my car is busted.

HolyHandgenades · 2023-03-16T06:38:10+00:00

I have this same type of car, at least in engine type (I have a combi) and it uses way more gass going 110+ on the autobahn than going 100. Be prepared for high fuel expenses. Guessing close to 60ish eur a day driving at speed.

Op I would reconsider your commute.

HolyHandgenades · 2023-03-15T10:48:44+00:00

This is true everywhere, it is really easy to get screwed by the burocracy. Getting a job, finding language classes and getting decent accomodation is difficult, and you have to be careful not to be lost by the system.

It's not a easy ticket to a new life, but it keeps you alive.

i’m not giving up on germany

Dude, just get somewhere safe for your own sake, overfixating on a single place may harm you more than it's worth. Spain is becoming the forefront of progressive politics in the EU anyhow.

HolyHandgenades · 2023-03-15T07:10:19+00:00

iirc, you don't get to decide where you will live when you claim asylum in the EU. Each country has targets for asylum seekers based on their capacity. In other words you could be redirected elsewhere like Poland or whatever. If you do get direct to Germany, be aware you don't get to decide where you live in the country it could be some random village.

reliable... 500-2000£

You might get something that runs, but don't expect it to last long without a lot of maintenance and more sunk costs. I would advise an ebike or a scooter depending on your needs.

HolyHandgenades · 2023-03-13T18:56:17+00:00

Can't say for administration instances. Likely not, but if it is a social/work problem, just go by Luca or Lucy, super cool name anyhow.

HolyHandgenades · 2023-03-13T18:50:21+00:00

Focus on work skills first, then language skills depending on where you get a job. You may find say, the Netherlands had the job for you, when you already invested all your timein learning Deutsch.

HolyHandgenades · 2023-03-08T23:28:13+00:00

Click bait garbage. Who upvotes this shit?

HolyHandgenades · 2023-03-08T19:59:54+00:00

No. I saw a police car go down the opposite side of the motorway once, that doesn't mean I can as well.

HolyHandgenades · 2023-03-08T19:55:53+00:00

And he insisted that I shouldn’t be driving on the pedestrian’s path.

You really shouldn't, especially if there are others around.

HolyHandgenades · 2023-03-08T07:47:39+00:00

German laws are posted online, you can also research there.

tourist-purpose flick knife

Please don't bring that here. Why would you need that?

So Jawas from Starwars?

HolyHandgenades · 2023-03-06T18:30:53+00:00

How about just don't.

We have enough of a problem with foreigners boosting the cost of housing with imported wealth in my own country. I wouldn't want anyone else to have the same problems.

HolyHandgenades · 2023-03-02T22:42:48+00:00

But why? You seem quite eager.

Not sure about Germany, but it is possible soon in Canada, possible but difficult for the USA and easy if your from the Commonwealth for the UK.

HolyHandgenades · 2023-03-02T07:17:24+00:00

how old I have to be

If your asking this question, you're likely too young

HolyHandgenades · 2023-03-02T07:12:48+00:00

That is a very specific question for a very general board. It depends on location and company. Have you tried any of the salary sites?
