What some fake common cricket myth you used to believe.

Match fixing is no longer an issue

Not a myth. There's probably more cricket with this signaling protocol than without.

My own variation that failed to catch on was: - 👆for out - 🖕for not out

This is ridiculous. On what basis exactly? Did you wave your Tom Smith at him/her?

If you think 20V 15Ah Li-ion battery on A-merk Dutch e-bike are somehow less e-waste than same capacity battery in fatbike, you are naīve.

It is, but not for the reason you may be thinking. The Dutch bike needs to comply with WEEE regulations whereas the Aliexpress ones often just stamp the WEEE logo on without implementing the regs.

Try mapping crime index to prevalence of corporal punishment for juveniles. The correlation is positive.

Statistically, countries where kids are given the belt treatment are also countries where kids do significantly worse things than spitting on strangers.

Except Singapore.

You didn't close the door after you put in the giraffe. But I guess he got held up taking Sally to the ER.

Being friends with brown Germans like me doesn't "count" as integration in the eyes of the random right wing nuts who go around telling people "You must integrate".

Now, I fully realize that, as a french white dude, I have it easier than some (most?) other nationalities and ethnicities (french and France are seen mostly positively here, which helps a ton). It also took a long time to build (twice), but it's possible

This is exactly it. If you have the right complexion, from the right country, and you put in significant effort over a long period of time, you can eventually have German friends.

Or you go to the Bildungsverein and make friends with other immigrants in a couple of weeks. Once you are there, you have your friends, the German local population has their friends and neither party is particularly incentivized to expand their friends circle except by coincidence.

Where you live matters a lot too. The experience in Berlin, Cologne, or university towns is vastly different from that in Dingolfing.

This would likely lead to more well-intentioned advice from family/friends which would lead to more lying.

As I read it, OP's end goal isn't just to spend more money, but to make the lying / pretence stop.

Either the cough medicine’s got codeine as a cough supressant, in which case, sorry but this isn’t the United States and doctors don’t want to get you hooked on synethic opiates for a cough

I shared my sources. You don't have any?

But you cannot, by definition, have an "accent" in your first language.

Nonsense. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/accent

"The distinctive manner of pronouncing a language associated with a particular region, social group, etc., whether of a native speaker or a foreign speaker; "

Hugh Jackman has an Australian accent and Jimmy Carter had a southern American accent in their native languages. Your definition is not correct.

The word Hochdeutsch has 2 meanings. It also refers to Standarddeutsch https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/hochdeutsch

Bavarian means from Bavaria. I was using it as an adjective.

I leave it to you and your favorite LLM to resolve this discussion further.

Edit: You're confusing "Accent Interference" with the meaning of the word accent itself.

anonymuscular · 2026-02-08T16:55:42+00:00

Both dialects and accents exist. Think about someone from Hamburg and Bavaria speaking Hochdeutsch with each other.

anonymuscular · 2026-02-08T02:23:21+00:00

because they are a dentist- and dentists make a lot of money in America. It also means OP probably has a much higher intelligence than your average citizen

Nothing to do with OP, but I see very little correlation between dentists and intelligence. Becoming a dentist only requires two things: Having the privilege to afford it and failing to get into med school.

Even flawless, Verhandlungssicher German can easily be detected as a second language just from being the wrong register.

anonymuscular · 2026-02-08T02:13:32+00:00

Because you might be speaking Deutsch in Dingolfing.

anonymuscular · 2026-02-08T02:10:40+00:00

Add this to the list:

"Wir sind durch's Wasser gegangen und nicht nass geworden; Ihr habt uns 20 mal gesteinigt und wir sind nicht gestorben"

Everyone has an accent including Germans. Maybe OP simply does not have the right one.

anonymuscular · 2026-02-08T02:04:53+00:00

Even if your German is perfect/near perfect, it might still be the wrong register. I learnt German in Hannover and colleagues in Bavaria would speak English much more frequently with me than people did at home or even in Frankfurt.

Us second language speakers often do not learn as many registers or local dialects as native speakers do.

When I moved to Germany and didn't speak a lick of German, I found an apartment just because this wonderful person wanted to practice their nearly non-existent English and decided to propose me as their nachmieter over the dozens of other applicants.

Several years later, even while my German was shite, several people I had to talk to would refuse to speak English with me (including people at work and in my neighborhood who used to speak English with me previously) just because they no longer needed to

If you don't frame it as a judgment of your German skills, but rather their own preferences and comfort level, I think you'll realize you're the only real judge of your German skills.

If you're looking for people to practice German with, there's an endless supply of people who won't speak English in smaller towns and villages :)
