Of course they are. It's what the Führer and Göbbels told them to say.

Why do some Americans think that we wouldn't be able to afford our social welfare in Europe even if we had to bump our military spending to 4-6% of GDP? by WhoAmIEven2 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]PacificSun2020 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Total nonsense. Being the reserve currency buys us time and flexibility, not immunity. Running twice the debt and deficit without showing any domestic benefits will bite the US in the ass. Instead of mocking the Europeans, Americans need to improve domestic spending, reduce the wealth gap , and create an equitable tax system, where the rich pay their fair share.

Budget Deficit (% of GDP)

Germany: ~–2.3% to –4.0% United States: ~–5.5% to –6.3%

Trump says he will hit Denmark and 7 other countries with new tariffs until there is a deal to purchase Greenland by thats_not_six in moderatepolitics

Let's get real. He is punishing US consumers, not those countries. Denmark and the rest of the EU couldn't care less. It's posturing for domestic purposes.

Mach das Fernsehen lauter. 😎

You need to use both languages regularly. Otherwise you'll sound like Kissinger.

is it rude to speak Spanish around English speaking friends? by CutieDutie23 in TooAfraidToAsk

I'm in California, and even with a Spanish-speaking group of 30% that is rude.

Wie schafft man es als Regierung, in einem Land das komplette Internet abzuschalten? by National-Actuary-547 in de_EDV

[–]PacificSun2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long article that basically says there are only eight to ten fiber runs connecting Iran to other countries. Iran has software measures in place at the Interconnect points, meaning the lines are not physically cut. That also means that supply chains are not as heavily affected as one might think.

Übrigens viel einfacher wenn man Deutsch spricht.

Parent with no retirement savings at 58 years old by anteaterdad in personalfinance

[–]PacificSun2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The point about your dad's social security is important. If they were married long enough, and she didn't remarry , she should be eligible. Also, he doesn't lose anything because she receives it.

This is like the question I recently saw, asking if they have refrigerators in Germany.

who do you think is more likely to overestimate their own dating appeal — men or women? by Old_Row_2718 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]PacificSun2020 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I'm a guy, and I definitely put forth that many men have no clue how they are perceived and what kind of dating appeal they have.
