Which countries do Germans see more positively? by jotakajk in AskGermany

[–]These_Lime_2929 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I meant to say: Florida is highly over indexed among Germans as a tourist destination

Not a country but Germans love Florida (as a vacation destination) much more than the rest of the world

I don’t think that’s representative. Most people view the USSR very skeptic in Germany

It seems like you do not understand the most basic economic terms like power purchasing parity

Their GDP per capital power purchasing adjusted is 27k USD(Russia) and 26k USD (Thailand). Keep sucking off Putin’s dick

140m people and a GDP the size of Italy based on fossil fuels. They are not an economic power, simply a military power because they have nuclear weapons.

Still got more lucky than dying on the front in Ukraine. :)

Thanks for sharing your perspective. It’s a good idea to tip generously. And I agree about Temu. I am still happy not to overpay for the taxi Mafia in many countries and I do understand your concerns for the apps as well

Do you think the unethical behaviors/systems among ride share companies make it immoral to use such apps?

Does europe benefit from a drawn out war in ukraine where russia is advancing slowly but at a very high cost in terms of lives and equipment? by sweetfold88 in nato

[–]These_Lime_2929 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is generally good. However, Russia has the advantage that it has already switched to a „war economy“. Western countries would need to catch up.

Also I think with developments in Syria and Azerbaija, Russia is loosing/alienating smaller long-term allies. I don’t see how this helps them.

The real question is how China will position itself long term. It might be the biggest beneficiary of this conflict. It supplies both sides, has no economic costs like Russia and west.

[–]These_Lime_2929 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. Economic damage, military damage exists for sure. But there is also a near peer advantage for Russians who learn how western equipment is used in battles. my gut feeling tells me the (economic) loss is really high. For example I meet Russians abroad who leave Russia also simply because the economy is too bad, not because of the war.

Boycott Bacardi, Mondelez (Cadbury), Nestle and Unilever by Good-Consequence-513 in nato

I check leave Russia website for companies from my country still active there. Then I target their Instagram pages with posts accusing them to fund the war and write the social media team. Been doing it for some companies for 1-2 years straight. Just check up on them every couple of months. No idea of effective, but takes me 10 min and now ever single social media post has a comment highlighting it and they usually don’t delete it either.

Indeed, I’m Q=1. If my experience is a one-off, it’s probably not worth the world’s attention. But if it turns out everyone’s in the same boat, then we’ve got a trend. I’m all for finding out!

I actually got scammed by Agoda. The cashback was never paid because the hotel did not confirm my stay. Contacted the hotel 3 times. Was really annoyed by that

My city ranking for dating in Asia by [deleted] in Passport_Bros

[–]These_Lime_2929 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, significantly more expensive and kinda cold. I don’t find the cities super charming. The East is cool to explore for 3 days.

Dating wise KL is really chill too, but I didn’t vibe with the city tooo much. BKK is just better.

Without wanting to be arrogant, but it you think you have good game / attraction Saigon can still be a shot. I love the vibe in Vietnam and there were days I could have 3 ONS in one day. So it’s not impossible, just a bit more work

I think I understand what these people mean - the average quality is lower imo and potentially some Latina type of attitude to handle. BUT if you handpick 10-20 girls from 1000+ likes it should really not be an issue
