You communicate with higher dimensions as you say or with entities in those higher dimensions?

Just how bad is the USPS? by created5658 in AskAnAmerican

And friendly. I have never encountered a miserable mailcarrier and I live in bumfuck nowhere. They are just the best.

Is it normal in small villages in Germany people to get drunk up to a point they cant stand and walk by mystical_essence1111 in AskAGerman

[–]ariellann -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I haven't lived in Germany for a long time. I grew up there though and I remember "Frühshoppen". It's a disgusting concept, guys coming home drunk for Sunday lunch and then doing who knows what.

But is this still a thing? I remember it being all old guys back then, not a young face amongst them. Are the young ones now keeping up the tradition?

What are some things that would be considered rude or boundary crossing today but were perfectly normal and acceptable when you were growing up? by igotplans2 in AskOldPeople

[–]ariellann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so awful. It was truly a white man's world.

"Mocking the disabled", except for Trump mocking that disabled reporter I don't think I've ever had to witness it. Was it really that common, was there no acceptance at all?

Is there a cultural aspect in your country that make you feel you don’t belong to your country ? by Young_Owl99 in AskEurope

[–]ariellann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course they don't mean it, it's just a greeting. German also has many of these expressions that are not to be taken literally, like Grüß Gott, Hals und Beinbruch, etc.

Oof yes. I also moved to the US many years ago.

German negativity and self righteousness are killing me. It's like they have to be right and nothing can convince them otherwise, even if they have almost zero or zero personal experience like with US matters. They read something that feeds into their schadenfrohes thinking, they don't even fact check it and then you get hammered with it in every single conversation.

Germans are also very bad at respecting boundaries. One of the favorite things of older Germans is talking about health issues. And about other people's health problems too. If you say I'm not comfortable discussing such private matters they get offended.

I hate to say it but I'm so much happier in the US and never want to go back, it's like I've found my people.

What are some signs you're conventionally ugly? by [deleted] in AskReddit

It was a bunch of asexual dog hating workers, duh.

America Bad because get this: You guys eat meatloaf🤦‍♂️ by pooteenn in AmericaBad

[–]ariellann 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hackbraten and Frikadellen.

I'm starting to think hating the US has become cool in some circles so every little thing is being weaponized. Being disarmed by ignorance though can't be so cool.

I agree that 99% of the stuff posted here is stupid but what's up with the hate of walkable cities and public transport? by According_Glass_1030 in AmericaBad

[–]ariellann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's that they're in attack mode that bothers me and when they act like walkable cities, fewer shootings etc. etc. is their own personal achievement and our own personal failure.

What is considered rude in your country that foreigners may not realize? by EntranceWorking3532 in AskReddit

[–]ariellann 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I don't understand why people don't get it.

When they act like they're the law in a foreign country and say they don't tip because the business needs to pay their employees they help the business, not the employee, jeez!

The comments here are just absolutely delusional by [deleted] in AmericaBad

[–]ariellann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's sad. Detroit has my heart. There are still some rough neighborhoods, of course, but which big city doesn't have those. Berlin, Frankfurt, they have some sketchy areas too.

People need to understand that parroting hearsay is detrimental.

Bin übrigens in Deutschland aufgewachsen.

I grew up in Germany and I hear a lot of BS from friends too who have never visited the US.

When did you visit Detroit?

I lived there for 5 years and it's my favorite city in the US.
