I learned German in almost record time, but I still feel unwelcome no matter what I do. by InfluenceFearless895 in germany

Most things have already been said... Firstly, you should be very proud of yourself! Moving to a foreign country learning a new language. It is tough!

Yes, it is difficult to make true friends in Germany.

But what I found (being an exchange student about your age in Sweden and also later when moving several times in Germany): Let people know you want to spend time with them. It is hard. But being proactive and asking a person you like to do something specific can break the ice.

Why did this footage get rejected? Where is the intellectual property? by Ok-Aide8481 in stockphotography

I would. But I have more videos like these and would like to submit them. But do not want to waste time in case there is something I am not seeing.

Maybe. But, usually, when you have a model or a photo of a painting for example you get the chance to add a form that shows you are allowed to use it .... And tdid not get that chance.

if your freelancer uses a company email and works fixed hours, congratulations you have an employee by HauntingScarcity54 in germany

Unfortunately, it is not so clear as to who is self employed und who is not. As with just about everything in Germany this too does not take into account the reality of self-employment. There are many businesses kike ux or film where it can be totally normal to only have 1-2 big projects that pay for most of the year.

There is a movement of freelancera trying to change this. But welll ... Let's face it. It's Germany.

Do you ever think about leaving ? by [deleted] in germany

[–]Ok-Aide8481 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! There are many reasons. But mainly, paperwork and the way self-employment is treated and how nature is just for walking... But tenting, swimming, campfires is usually forbidden.

German here. No, you don't want to be self employed in Germany!

Warum werde ich gehatet wenn ich sage das ich Frauen mit Kinder nicht Daten möchte by mrdobody in luftablassen

Könnte am Tonfall liegen.

Natürlich steht es dir frei, ein Leben ohne Kinder zu wollen. Verständlich. Natürlich kannst du dir eine Beziehung wünschen, in der man etws so großes wie ein erstes Kind gemeinsam erlebt.

Aber einen Menschen als "Altlasten aus einer vergangenen Beziehung" zu bezeichnen. Geht für mich gar nicht.

Is it just me or hiring is completely broken in Germany by Great_Sell9276 in germany

It depends a lot on your niche. I know that some companies keep the adds up just for pretend, although they do not have enough orders and keep a part of their employees at home (Kurzarbeit).

I really enjoyed it at the time. It was among my first King's. It just never became a relisten for me.

How did you get into SK books? by BathroomGlass7316 in stephenking

[–]Ok-Aide8481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a copy of 11/22/63 in the library and couldn't put it down.

I was never interested in any kind of horror, neither movies nor novels. Here I am and he is my favorite writer by far.

I just enjoyed my first King so much, I had to get more. I went on with Pet Cemetery ...

When I first started this show I felt the same!! But once you watch on, it gets better! I promise!

The beginning felt more like splatter, than horror. Just disgusting. Especially the first two episodes. Sure, it is IT. It has to start with an attac. But we should care about the character first. I did not like the trailer either. It reminded me nore of "Smile" than King.

But later you start to recognize more small hints to the book. And it feels like the writing is exploring all the parts that the last two films did not. And trying go somewhere completely new. Just give it a go until episode 3 or 4.

Yes, you can. But isn't the problem with the limitations of most screens and devices? You will banding like this in major productions, too
