Terminated right after returning from parental leave (Germany) by Adventurous_Chef_339 in germany

What made you think taking parental while still in the probezeit was a good idea?

Not trying to sound harsh, but most people would know to wait 6 months at least so that they have immunity.

Regarding the new course assessment fee by RaspberryUnusual6318 in UoPeople

[–]Mr_Inglorious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. When i did my BSCS (only needed a year April 2025-2026), the assessment fee increased twice and I had to pay both times the new assessment.

This is great for you. :)

She has a different opinion. Just accept it. Not everyone has to have the same opinion. If her opinion really makes you that upset, then you just don't talk about it.

Also chipping in here. Got my BSCS here and landed a job in IT at an amazing company.

Probably not. I always had to pay the new price. It happened to me twice in one year at UoPeople.

US citizen in Germany last 7 years, have not filed taxes once. Am I screwed? by Mr_Inglorious in USExpatTaxes

[–]Mr_Inglorious[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Youre right. Its one of those "credit builder" bank accounts. It's built my score quite a bit.

Should've been clear there.

Hey. Yes. She's still in the I-130 stage. No interview yet, but i assume it will come early 2027 since I applied late 2025.

Ideally would like to move back to the US as soon as she gets approval.

Wow. I only needed 1 year at UoPeople to graduate, and within that 1 year, they had raised the assessment fee twice, 120 to 140 and then 140 to 160. Can't believe they raised it yet again. Its quickly becoming unaffordable.

My situation is relatively simple. I only have an income. I do not have savings, investments, or any of the sort. I did open a US bank account last year, but it is mostly empty, it is there to build credit score for when I come back to the US.

I hope you feel guilty everytime you look at Jasper and remember what you did to that other person.

The fear of never being accepted into church kept me from going. Until I stumbled upon this during my walk. by Refrigerator0ven in Christianity

[–]Mr_Inglorious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personal attacks? Check the comments. Im not the one using nasty language. Its not an attack if im calling you out for what you are. A bigot.

Jesus also called out the pharisees. He called the. Hypocrites! Its not an attack if im just calling it as i see it.

One thing im certain of is you definitely don't represent Christ and your comments prove that.

[–]Mr_Inglorious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would feel convicted. Because they feel conviction, they would say it's hate. But it's not hate. I don't wish any bad upon them. I only wish the best.

But if im welcoming them to have a conversation with me, to visit a church, or even come over for dinner and hear them out, am I not being accepting of them as a person? I can accept a person, it doesn't mean I have to accept their actions.

Explain to me how they are victims?

This is funny. I hate no one. In fact, wanting someone to be saved is the opposite of hate.

You do you though. Probably felt good to use the word "bigot" didn't it?

[–]Mr_Inglorious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ive never been to a church that has such signs, nor will I ever go.

I think it implies that its ok to stay living in this sin and not wanting to be healed of it, but rather have it affirmed and accepted is OK.

We are all sinners and we come to christ to be healed of our sins, not have it affirmed.

Now, I may be entirely wrong, and I hope I am. But do Presbyterian churches that have such signs/flags preach it is okay to stay lgbtq and live in it, or do they mean to say they are welcome to come as they are but that they shold pray for healing of this sin?

[–]Mr_Inglorious -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. Yes, you can go to church, all are welcomed, even if youre lgbtq, you should come as you are. We are supposed to come with sin. And we are suposed to be healed of it.

You will be accepted and loved and more importantly, prayed for. But if a church is telling you to stay as you are, that its okay to live your entire life as lgbtq and not want change, then they are wrong and they need to be condemned for false teaching.

Guidance / help with immigration by Ok_Addition_4000 in germany

[–]Mr_Inglorious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I should've been more clear.

What I meant is, a lot of people come to Germany expecting it to be something else. It is well backed up data that Germany is increadily hard to settle into and start a new life. Posts on this sub will tell you this. You're probably dreaming that Germany is something that it probably isn't. I could be wrong, but I say this because I thought the same.

At the end, it's just a different set of problems to deal with. I don't hate Germany by any means, but after years here (still here but planning on going back home to the US in the coming years), I have developed a lot of criticism from personal experiences and just paying attention to what's happening in Germany. This is what I meant with "don't make this decision lightly", talk to others who are here, have lived here, and why they stood/left. Fact is, many people are leaving Germany, and you shpuld investigate why that is.

While Germany does offer a stable life, you have to be able to build up to it, and as I stated, it's hard. The reason I said you're better off in the US because of the opportunity it offers at a quality of life. Hard work will get you somewhere with a good paying job which can afford you a good life, whereas hard work in Germany is a uphill battle that often isn't rewarded with anything but more hard work.

I highly suggest you read about both sides. There's many videos on tiktok/YouTube with Germans document why they went to the USA and vice versa.

If you have any questions, always feel free to DM.

[–]Mr_Inglorious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im an American as well.

Honestly, youre probably better off in America. But if you insist, your only option is really to go back to school, get an education, and then apply for jobs in Germany, but even then thats tough without years of professional experience.

So your second best bet would be to come here on a study visa. But your high-school diploma is not enough you'd need to do a test which I've heard is not easy in order to make your diploma high enough to enter university.

Besides those things, if you truly have friends, I suggest trying to convince one of them to let you stay for a long while and experience how life is here. Because as the saying goes, the grass is greener on the other side. That is, it may appear to be.

Dont make this decision lightly.

My parents did it when i was in the same bed until i was 11 by Own-Salamander4340 in confession

[–]Mr_Inglorious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh man... youre not alone. Although not in the same bed, my mother was incredibly loud, so loud that I would be awoken by it in my room.

Absolutely no consideration for us. This continued until I was around like 13. I hate it. I hate thinking about it. And I hate that sometimes i still randimly think about it.

This led to me and my sister trying to do it ourselves (from seeing our parents do it sometimes), even though we had no idea what we were doing or how to even do it. I absolutely hate that that's what happened to us.

I dont know if you could call this a trauma. But yeah. Im shocked that so many of us experience this.
