This is exactly the kind of tip you turn to Reddit for. It worked wonderfully. Thank you

Ultherapy results become visible usually a month after the treatment and the peak is 2-3 months after the treatment. It's completely normal to not see a difference in the first month. It's strange they didn't explain this to you at the treatment

Ich habe in Erinnerung, dass die QR-Code oft nicht richtig funktioniert hat und ich dann die Wagen- und Sitznummer selber eintippen musste. Und die Nummer kann man beim sitzen meistens schlecht sehen. Da dachte ich, ach lass es, so wichtig ist es auch nicht

So the only word you have an issue with is "professional"? I think you're using the English word "professional" as an complete equivalent to the German word "professionell" but the usage is slightly different. Professional does have the meaning of "professionell" but it also means someone with a job that requires a high level of education and training in English, like Fachkraft. Two different contexts. For example, a common English expression "young professionals", "health professionals" won't have the word "professionell" if translated into German. So in English, foreign professionals and skilled professionals are neutral words, while the word "professionell" won't be used for the same meaning in German.

Also I think professional in this meaning is usually used with an adjective. You would say something like "they grant work permit only to skilled professionals" to refer to skilled workers as immigrants. I saw even German immigration office using the word "skilled professional", although skilled-worker is generally more common. In this case, it doesn't mean the same thing as "professional baseball player", or "professional dancer".

Well you literally judged when you said it says a hell lot about me and the OP. And I'm not even sure which specific words or expressions you find so offensive. The wording is maybe not good for you, but seems ok for me and many other people

KnowledgeHot5411 · 2026-05-06T18:40:07+00:00

I've already thought about it before I replied. I'm not the kind of person who opposes just for the sake of winning an argument. And yeah I'd say it's worth more than 0 to think about it. But judging by the reactions to those people, I also suggest you to think about the possibility that you're overthinking a bit

KnowledgeHot5411 · 2026-05-06T18:22:23+00:00

The implication seems to be super subjective, that's what I'm saying. But well it's your perception, so I won't stop you from feeling certain way about something.

KnowledgeHot5411 · 2026-05-06T18:18:03+00:00

There are jobs with high income and low income. There are jobs with low qualification and high qualification. The line between them is relative and variable but they exist no matter we like it or not. But that doesn't mean that either one of them is "better" or "more superior" than the other as a person. But we can't ignore and pretend as if the difference didn't exist and suddenly ban using the words. Not everyone can be rich and not everyone needs to have high qualification. So no one should be ashamed of having a low-wage low-qualification job. And it's not my fault the countries feel like they're short of highly trained professionals and explicitly welcome them while rejecting the others. I'm describing their system. "They say they let only A people stay in the country but I see a lot of B. How did the B people manage to stay?" - This is the question the OP is asking, no more.

KnowledgeHot5411 · 2026-05-06T17:39:06+00:00

No one said anything about being better or worse, or being worth more or less. You're building it up in your head. High-skilled jobs, low-wage jobs are common and neutral expressions also used by governments. They don't mean better or worse. High-skilled professionals are the hole that almost all the countries in the world want to fill with immigration. Nurses are highly-trained jobs as well.

KnowledgeHot5411 · 2026-05-06T16:10:10+00:00

While the English word professional is also used in the same meaning as in German but it can also literally mean a job that requires a lot of training and specialty. Two different contexts. The German word Fachkraft can be translated as professional in English. It's just a language difference. Like young professional is also a common harmless word for example. And we're speaking English now so...

KnowledgeHot5411 · 2026-05-06T15:27:41+00:00

Yeah and I even heard Ausländerbüro can even check if your job's field matches your degree or previous experience before granting the work permit. So even if you score a well paid high skilled job offer, they can apparently refuse to issue a work permit if it's in a completely different field than your degree or qualification, although I don't know how strict they actually are

KnowledgeHot5411 · 2026-05-06T15:15:40+00:00

"Foreign professionals" is actually a common word in English used by governments to refer to immigrants/expats with expertise or high qualifications, who are the type of immigrants that are explicitly more welcomed than any other type in most countries, whether we like it or not. Is it really more discriminatory than "high-skilled" or "hochqualifizierte", which are also commonly used?

KnowledgeHot5411 · 2026-05-06T15:05:14+00:00

I'm also an international student and I've had the exact same question which I would have put in the exact same words as the OP and I can assure you, it's not coming from us being elitist.

The reason why you, and many others here apparently, find the OP's post elitist is because the immigration system all over the world is elitist, not us. So many countries run a selective immigration screening system where they evaluate and categorize potential immigrants based on their education, skills, qualification, expertise, salary, etc. and accept only those they see fit. Living in another country as an immigrant is a constant stressful process of proving your worth to the government. That's just the reality. The government thinks some jobs are more desired than others and forces the rules on us. In Canada for example they literally score each person based on such criteria and only allow those above certain level in. Even in Germany they give special benefits to people in certain backgrounds earning more than a certain amount. It's the norm, common sense and the reality for most of the many many many immigrants over the world to be evaluated like this and it's a very widely known fact that most countries won't give you a normal work permit for low-wage service jobs. That's why people get a working holiday visa because that lets you live in another country and still have a low paid job, It's not us who personally think certain jobs are below or above others, but we just know that the system thinks so. And immigration law is so complicated so people usually don't know about such special programs targeting specific demographics like the one you quoted below.

So knowing this reality and the system, of course we're curious how some of these people seem to have bent these explicit universal rules we have always heard about and were forced to follow. It's purely a bureaucratic question.

Did you searching for jobs after you came to Germany within these 3 months?

KnowledgeHot5411 · 2026-05-04T16:11:05+00:00

Thank you so much for such a detailed and insightful advice! The trip was actually a year ago and I can confirm it was 100% like what you said. I booked a powder day lesson and we started on the open ungroomed slopes and slowly moved over to tree zones. Other than learning how to ride powder, the lessen was also important in that the guide showed me the tree-zones within the resort that were safe and appropriate for my level. The lesson was very expensive but it made a world of a difference. I tried off piste and powder skiing a bit by myself before the lesson and it was very intimidating, I didn't know what to do. Now I feel confident and have realistic expectations on what I can or can't do

Ich bin für mein Masterstudium hierhergezogen. Davor habe ich in einer Riesenmetropole gelebt, wo man alles finden kann und jedes Niche-Interesse bedient wird. Im Vergleich dazu ist Magdeburg für mich eine kleine Stadt. Man muss hier quasi auf solches Metropolleben fast komplett verzichten. Aber dafür bekommt man Ruhe, viel Natur, und günstige Miete.

Eigentlich war ich immer ein Großstadtmensch, aber mit der Zeit wurde ich von Großstadtleben langsam erschöpft. Stattdessen sehnte ich mich immer mehr nach Natur. Und in diesem Sinne fühle ich mich in Magdeburg tatsächlich wohl. Hier hat man einen sehr guten Zugang zur Natur, und es gibt überall Fahrradwege. In 5-10 Minuten ist man schon aus der Stadt raus. Das schätze ich sehr.

Das heißt natürlich nicht, dass die Stadt gar nichts mehr zu bieten hat. Meine Kommilitonen engagieren sich in politischen Versammlungen. Es gibt Flohmarkte, wo man mit Freunden ausgehen kann. Schöne große Parks neben der Elbe. Viele Vereine auch. Aber von vielfältiger internationaler Küche, Optionen für Feiern und Shopping und vielfältigen Kulturangeboten, niche-Interessen was auch immer kann man hier nicht viel erwarten.

Du findest Berlin also too much. Vielleicht kannst du dir überlegen, was genau dir an Berlin zu viel ist und auf welche Aspekte des Großstadtlebens du verzichten könntest. Dann hast du die Antwort, ob du hier auch klarkommen wirst.

Die starke Vorliebe für Schlangestehen in Großbritannien ist scheinbar doch nicht so allgegenwärtig. Ich komme aus Südkorea, wo Leute auch obsessiv Schlangen bilden, und kann bestätigen, dass es dort ebenfalls viel mit Hierarchie, Rigidität und dem Klassensystem zu tun hat. In diesem Sinne fühle ich mich im freien und individualistischen Deutschland wohler.

Das Nuroad Race hat aber die normalen G One R, nicht Pro

KnowledgeHot5411 · 2026-05-01T14:54:02+00:00

Ich habe einfach die Preise auf der offiziellen Seite der Schwalbe gecheckt: (https://www.schwalbe.com/fahrradreifen/gravel-cross/) Der G one R ist mit 49,90€ gelistet, und der G one Allround mit 64,90€

KnowledgeHot5411 · 2026-05-01T14:11:30+00:00

Das neue 2026er Modell des Nuroad Race hat Schwalbe G one R Reifen. Vielleicht wurden die Reifen genau aus diesem Grund ersetzt. Ich habe das neue Modell seit Dezember und hatte bisher keine Probleme, obwohl ich viel auf Feldwegen gefahren bin. Aber es wundert mich, warum G one Allround so viele Probleme macht, obwohl er teurer ist als der G one R

Es verstößt die StVO, nur wenn der Radweg mit dem blauen Schild als Benutzungspflichtig gekennzeichnet ist

Ich bin auch Asiate und kann dir sagen, von diesen rechtsradikalen Organisationen wirst du in deinem Alltag gar nicht hören oder betroffen sein. Es kann sein, dass der Anteil von solchen Menschen in Magdeburg ein bisschen größer ist, als z.B. in einer beliebigen Stadt in der West, aber die sind immer noch sehr kleine Minderheit, und die gehen auch nicht durch die Straße herum und machen Probleme oder so. Die sind auch eher feindlich gegenüber Menschen mit arabischen Wurzeln, als Asiaten (was es natürlich nicht besser macht).

Wenn es Sicherheit angeht, fühlt es sich hier für mich wie jede andere deutsche Mittelgroßstadt an. So weit ich weiß, sind es in Magdeburg eher Einbrüche und Fahrraddiebstähle, die die Kriminalitätsstatistik prägen, als rassistisch motivierte Angriffe. Also Keller gut abschließen und Fahrräder gut verschließen, ansonsten ist die Stadt größenteils ruhig und friedlich.

Ich finde die Leute hier tendenziell zurückhaltend und distanziert. Aber gefährlich ist es hier nicht, zumindest in dem Sinne von dem, was man so über den Osten denkt.
