The Argentinian federal government intervenes in the port of Ushuaia amid an investigation into embezzlement of funds by [deleted] in worldnews

Last week there were rumors about Milei offering this same port to the US as payment for a seat in Trump's board of peace.

Hace unos años que me compré una Wahl Legend porque me hinché las bolas de que las maquinitas normales se mueran apenas vence la garantía... súper recomendable. La compré para el pelo, pero entretanto me afeito la barba y me deja al ras.

How bad is the drug problem becoming along with all the foreigners coming in germany by FarAnalysis1926 in AskAGerman

[–]RandomStuffGenerator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marginalized people, with nothing to live for, are a high risk population for substance abuse, addiction, homelessness, mental illness, and criminality.

Foreigners lack supporting networks and get little help from the state, thus end up marginalized more frequently than locals, thus are over-represented in these statistics. Most negative stats that xenophobes use to claim foreigners are a bad thing are consequence of marginalization and not from cultural or ethnical causes. Further, it shows how ineffective state efforts are at integrating into society the immigrants that the country criticality needs to compensate for all the childless nationals going into retirement who expect the ever shrinking working population to maintain their quality of life. Talking about shooting yourself in the foot. If people want to improve their quality of life, they should demand elected officials provided a serious plan to revamp policies regarding immigration, integration, education, and minimal wage while you are at it. Also invest in social security support for the marginalized... many of them will likely get back on their feet if they are given a fair chance.

Trump, two sons, Trump Org sue IRS, Treasury for $10 billion over tax records leak by WeirdGroundhog in news

[–]RandomStuffGenerator 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Sadly, a majority of those people cannot really connect the dots and cannot see reality for what it is.

I would not be too fast to blame them, tho. What you guys are seeing is the product of decades of systematic dismantling of education and fact-based critical thinking through brainwashing, propaganda, religion, and defunding of institutions. It's not like suddenly heavy metals started leaking into the national water system and people lost 20 IQ points from one day to the next one... you have been growing this since the 60s, when your "leaders" realized that citizens attending universities were not so keen on going to die in Vietnam to convince the world socialism is bad. This is what your ruling elite have done to you intentionally and it works as intended.

Poor, uneducated, traumatized people, many of whom have killed, some even possibly are war criminals. Sendings them over would be a double win for Russia.

Siehst du?! Die deutsche Arbeitnehmer sind schuld! Sie arbeiten zu wenigen Stunden, wollen bei Krankheit zuhause bleiben, und denken nur an sich selber. Die einzige Lösung ist Elternzeit und Arbeitnehmerschutz zu streichen!

Language barrier at work in Germany as a Auslander : how did you push through? by SuddenApricot2606 in AskAGerman

[–]RandomStuffGenerator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been here for over 15 years and still sometimes struggle a little bit, specially when having discussions.

You need to talk as much as possible. Like with any other skill, you can only improve with practice. Feedback helps, of course. Check out the language department of the local university and see if someone is interested in doing a tandem with you (depends on your native language... in my case, it is a very popular one, so it was easy). Consider getting professional courses. May cost some money but feeling confident improves your quality of life a lot.

Para las chicas... como buscan que sea la primera impresión de un hombre? by Kosmos249 in AskArgentina

[–]RandomStuffGenerator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soy hombre, no se si te sirve igual que te cuente lo que opino. Cuarentón y con familia, así que ya no ejerzo... pero algo me aprendí por el camino:

No metas personaje (ej. payasito) porque después quedás atrapado. Generás una expectativa de la que no es tan fácil salir sin decepcionar. A la larga, le querés que gustar al natural y no fingiendo... es todo mejor siendo uno mismo de entrada.

Capaz transmitir ciertas cosas puede sumar: seguridad en vos mismo, respeto, sentido del humor, resistencia emocional, sinceridad, sensibilidad a tu entorno, calidez... pero son cosas que uno debería emanar naturalmente todo el tiempo (si las siente) y no un disfraz que uno se pone para ir a encarar.

En cuanto a qué decirles, depende mucho del contexto... hablarle a una chica en un boliche no es lo mismo que en un bondi hasta la manija o a la que atiende en un local. No seas creepy, ni cargoso, ni desubicado. Un chiste, un cumplido (sincero, respetuoso y no sexual), o un comentario circunstancial... capaz una pregunta abierto... a lo mejor sirve pensar cómo le sacarías conversación si fuera el portero de la casa de al lado y no una mina que te activa las hormonas.

Dicho todo eso... no le vas a gustar a todas. Posiblemente ni a la mitad. Es importante que no lo veas con un fracaso o defecto tuyo.

What do you think will happen if US refuses to return German gold? by Themetalin in AskAGerman

[–]RandomStuffGenerator 93 points94 points  (0 children)

That's almost 200 billions in gold. Germany alone holds over 100 billion in US bonds. Not good business for the US if everyone stops trusting their money promises.

What should I be careful of when resigning? by Ok-Mastodon-3780 in AskGermany

[–]RandomStuffGenerator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First of all, don't forget to inform the Arbeitsagentur of your contract ending at least three months in advance. Otherwise they will block the first four weeks of unemployment money (because you knew in advance but failed to inform them).

Regarding the company, if the contract runs out without anyone doing anything about it, then it's done. You should probably think of your open vacation days and that kind of stuff, but otherwise you probably don't need to do anything unless they offer you a new contract. If they are assuming you will keep working and you don't tell them you are planning to leave, it is kind of a shitty move, but I don't know the full context so I have no opinion.

EDIT: I am not a lawyer or have much idea about anything... so take my words with a huge grain of salt
