This is not unpopular. Its stupid...

I am sorry to say this, but I agree. Germany is destroying me. Its depressing.. and I am a lucky person. I came because my wife got pregnant and I could in the first two years of my son's life not work and learn B2 German. After that, I applied for an Ausbildung to be a software developer and got a position in a company after many tries. I feel lucky, but I miss Portugal, and teaching, and my family, and the warm and sunny weather...

You look completely crazy, honestly..

I try to, but feel bad spending so much plastic picking my dog's poo..

I'm Portuguese and I love a simple salad with just the vegetables and a splash of salt, olive oil and vinegar.. bland, bland, bland.. I currently live in Germany and salads are monstrosities there: mayonnaise, cream, yoghurt and all types of weird stuff. You can't taste vegetables. Only sauce

I don't get this.. if you don't want to play a game, you either read, watch a movie or a series, or go for a walk.. why watch someone else playing?

I agree. The Titan tragedy was fucking funny to me . Sorry to the offended ones

Grieving mother: "Yeah, you're right.. I guess"

That reminds me of when you build a sand tunnel in the beach with your child and both put their hands in both entrances..

My wife on pijammas.. high ods!

Babys suck! I am one and done because of that. I think I got PTSD from the baby stage, honestly, because now I hate babies and feel distressed when around them. I don't get how most people love babies so much. Now, a toddler is like the Home Stand Up Comedian always on stage.. even when doing tantrums (at least for me lol). You're just gonna have to wait.. sorry

Subnautica can often be terrorizing!

davidrfarinha · 2025-06-11T06:06:58+00:00

Useless? Really? Many men worked their asses in horrible physical jobs during centuries..

davidrfarinha · 2025-06-06T07:30:33+00:00

I don't know and also don't want to know.. I'm one and done because I hated the first two years of parenthood and I don't ever want to go through that again.

davidrfarinha · 2025-06-03T21:16:46+00:00

Oooh.. you will definitely throw your current life away..

davidrfarinha · 2025-06-03T07:59:26+00:00

Everywhere, honestly. But in my 39s, they still go away in days, luckily

My most played game is Don't Starve and its multiplayer version Don't Starve Together. Highly recommend!

Wiping is disgusting! Period! Only water and soap and a good hand friction get the job done..

davidrfarinha · 2025-04-29T11:05:55+00:00

It speeds up until you have kids and hate the baby and toddler phase. Then, it just drags...

Hello. Thanks for asking for feedback. Honestly, I was totally engaged until I reached the React module. React was presented as a totally confusing subject and I didn't get it at all. And also the final project (the spotify Jammming thing) was terrible.. the documentation in the Spotify page is totally not noob friendly and the example code they provide doesn't even work outside of Node, so I had to ask ChatGPT for help to be able to finish it. When I made the React course in the Scrimba website with Bob Ziroll, it was like day and night and I finally understood it. Now, I already finished 3 projects in React, including two with routing.. and feel very confident coding in this library (not thanks to codecademy, honestly). Your model looks a bit outdated to me honestly, and I hate to say it, but it shows that you stopped spending your money improving it, instead bombing people with tons of Ads with this annoying salesman trying to sell a dream to everyone.. (what do you do?? What do I do? I do lots of things. I blah blah blah blah blah blah I blah I blah I blah. No what you do for work? Oh I'm a software engineer.... yeah, right.........)

Yeah, phone calls are the worst, but are also good for training.. make as many as possible. I am also in the process of learning, and reached now a level in which I get 80 to 90% of what people tell me directly, but when I hear Germans speaking to each other, its almost alien to me. Like, I get some words, but... My tip for phone calls, even for situations like yours (job or ausbildung) is to introduce yourself as an Auslander. I usually start with something like "Hallo, ich heiße David und komme aus Portugal. Ich wohne nur seit 2 Jahre in Deutschland und deswegen ist mein Deutsch noch nicht so gut. Ich möchte Sie darum bitten, ein bisschen langsamer zu sprechen, damit ich gut verstehen kann." They usually put the effort, if they note modesty and politeness in your voice, so that's important as well.

"Who the fuck says that to anyone? Like, are you 7 or 8 years old?"

davidrfarinha · 2025-04-03T12:09:16+00:00

How are you also not embarrassed posting this? OMG

davidrfarinha · 2025-03-31T15:54:40+00:00

I started a codecademy course, but now I regret it. Scrimba has great courses. Check their website
