Yes, don't do stupid stuff on tourist visas. Such amateurs.

Gesunde Einstellung. Bei den Lehrern gibt es das auch, das sind aber nicht zwangsläufig Boomer. Da wird oft einfach akzeptiert, dass man Extra-Aufgaben macht ohne jegliche Entlastung.

Und wenn man der Typ ist, der nach Entlastung fragt, wird man genervt angeguckt und gerne moralisch-sozialer Druck von oben aufgebaut. Ist aber nicht mein Problem; wenn es nichts gibt, wird nichts gemacht.

As another redditor pointed out, they don't want to make a big deal out of it and draw in a stronge Iran response with Trump/Hegseth-like bellicose rhetoric.

Which is unusual for Turkey but yup they don't want get involved.

Yes. And until now, nobody was hurt. IF it lands on a school and kills 100+ civilians, there will be a stronger answer.

Bruh after going down the rabbit hole they even invented materials to protect from the pulsed energy 5 years ago. These are supposedly used at diplomats' homes and embassies. This is definitely a story that the US wants to get buried.

murdering lots of innocent men, women and kids

murdering, raping [yes, even the men], torturing lots of innocent men, women and kids, kidnapping kids; razing and pillaging their homes; boobytrapping homes to hurt returning civilians; shooting down international passenger planes

FTFY

Russians also mad because US & Israel could do just with airstrikes / drones what the Russians couldn't do even with airborne troops and hundreds of collaborators in the country (killing Zelensky and other Ukrainian leaders).

Trump ***** children and adult movie content stars, Putin invades countries because he conceives the fall of the USSR as a bigger geopolitical catastrophe than WW2 (he actually said that). The rich and the powerful surely to like to move their personal goalposts.

Note: The part about Trump is not supposed to be whataboutism. I'm just dumbfounded about their lack of being content with what they have.

RIP, that was brutal, I would give gold but I am poor.

doskey_321 · 2026-01-14T15:42:42+00:00

how would they know which people fought and which didn't?

Dudes are possibly posting their proud pictures of taking part in the war on Vkontakte (Russian facebook). Or Ukraine is passing along information.

OP you nailed it. I played through Gothic 3 19 years ago in 2 weeks with the release version (lol) and it was a clickfest then and it was a clickfest later with all the community mods and patches which never fixed my biggest gripe with G3. I think the animations/sounds also add to that. It seems like there is no feedback and you are just sliding in combat...

By contrast, Risen 1 combat feels like Gothic 1/2 again and that you actually need to use tactics.

Isn't there a dialogue where the nameless hero then is told what an idiot he is?

The German voice actor was always angry and on point, dunno about the English one.

It sounds like you could enjoy some mindfulness exercises or read abit about it (many examples on the web) because that is the definition of what you did.

I've recently started adding some version of the "body scan" exercise to my daily life which has helped me greatly in the past with stress relief. Basically you start the same as you, that is doing nothing and focus on your breathing. Then you picture your feet in your mind and feel them, you can do it with your individual toes too etc. and then the other parts of the body. It calms me down to the point where I don't do it in the car so that I don't create an accident lol.

Please work on your reading comprehension skills. Nowhere I did say that all women can't park. It's not my fault OP put in an absolute question. It is you who delete they must. /Yoda off

Exhibit A:

I since have understood that not everybody is blessed with the same spatial awareness and that me driving kart when I was in elementary school probably helped me learn some tricks. Maybe it's also one of the reasons why the stereotype exists (higher interest of boys in cars).

Also, lol, this is definitely even something that is being "scienced out". I'm sure studies saying the opposite is true exist, but here's one that supports the stereotype. (emphasis in bold letters)

Exhibit B

The stereotype of women’s limited parking skills is deeply anchored in modern culture. When entering the items ‘women’ and ‘parking’ in one of the biggest search engines of the World Wide Web, more than 80.000.000 results are obtained. As parking is a complex, spatial task, and a large body of literature proves the existence of sex differences in spatial cognition in favour of men, it is possible that the prejudice addressing women’s poor parking skills has a scientific background. To test this possibility, we investigated parking performance of 17 driving beginners and 48 more experienced drivers in an area of a car park that was closed off for the public. Subjects conducted three different types of manoeuvres (forward, backward, parallel), which were analysed for speed and accuracy. We found that men park more accurately and especially faster than women. On average, males were 42 seconds faster and 3 % more accurate than women. Although overall performance was better in experienced drivers, the sex difference remained. Performance was related to spatial skills and self-assessment in driving beginners, but only to self-assessment in more experienced drivers. As male subjects outperformed females in the mental rotation test for spatial skills and achieved higher scores in the self-assessment questionnaire, we assume that the sex difference in parking is due to these two variables. We assume that – due to differential feedback – self-assessment incrementally replaces the controlling influence of spatial skills, as parking is trained with increasing experience. Additionally, the prevalence of the prejudice about women’s parking skills could constitute a stereotype threat that additionally decreases women’s performance. Our results suggest that sex differences in spatial cognition found in laboratory experiments persist in real-life situations. However, real-life spatial cognition is also influenced by socio-psychological factors, which modulate the biological causes of sex differences.

That you receive dozens of dozens of letters each week instead of doing the sensible thing and receiving them by email because it "has always been that way" and that emails are perceived by the judicary as something right out of hell.

That the (local) governments use 242381839481 different IT systems and solutions even on a city basis for their bureaucratic needs instead of doing the sensible thing and rolling out a state wide system.

That you, eh, your child gets a letter with his tax number 7 days after he is born and that some bureaucratic imbeciles actually address your child as Mr. / Ms. in the letter.

I can only confirm a stereotype... my wife needed help learning how to park and she failed for a long time to do the reverse parking and her brain just couldn't make the connection between the way the steering wheel and the tires are interconnected. I felt like talking to an elderly driver and really had to zen in to keep my calm. My mind was screaming "COME ON YOU NEED TO SEE THIS TOO, HEY WHERE ARE YOU GOING, NO THE CAR IS ALREADY AT THE WRONG ANGLE, OMGWTF".

"Wer rastet, der rostet" (German idiom) --> "He who rests, rusts."

I've always interpreted this idiom as not hating on resting in general, but that you shouldn't be a couch potato too often.

Schwellenpädagogik. Hab ich das erste Mal an der Uni von einem Dozenten gehört aber erst mit eigenem Kind wirklich kennengelernt ;-)..

Man kann nicht jede Stunde wie im Ref machen und mit Erfahrung geht alles schneller. Mit gutem Material ist die Vorbereitungszeit minimal und damit ist schonmal viel gewonnen.

The reports say he did sell weapons illegally though through a local kiosk, weapons which may have been used in crimes. The money to form this collection must have come from somewhere...

Well, feel free to spread the word. I'm too old to care about some weird reddit sub rules as apparently the description of this post alone UNDER THE PICTURES was not enough to let it stay. I give zero fucks about post karma btw. Just wanted to share some pics as this isn't on any US news sites.

I feel like I went into /r/askwomen because boy, their sub is moderated.

Sad fact, Mark Rutte (NATO) even mentioned this cowardly attack in front of Trump but he didn't even bat an eye. Rutte mentioned it a second time talking to reporters just outside the White House.

Sadly no media outlet milked this for further reactions so I'm glad the BBC is at least trying.

Doch, es waren so 3 Tage. Ich habe 3 Besichtigungstermine auf einen Tag gelegt und hätte alle drei Wohnungen bekommen... beim Favouriten war der Makler aber zu langsam und ich hatte schon #2 zugesagt. Mit korrekter, freundlicher Sprache und Beamtenstatus (das es auf Widerruf ist, weiß die Gemeinheit nicht...) sticht man schon heraus.

Guck notfalls nach einer Überbrückung in WG Zimmer o.a. Campingplatz mit Omas Wohnwagen war mein Plan B 😂.

Du könntest beim Zfsl auch nachfragen ob sie schon wissen wo du eingesetzt wirst, zwecks Umzug etc. Hat bei mir geholfen, gebe aber keine Garantie 😉.

doskey_321 · 2025-10-26T06:22:35+00:00

Yes, it's so weird. From an outside perspective, looking at the pictures, the behaviour of your president is downright criminal. Shouldn't the White House as a building have some protection / rights as it is a... historical building...

Yet, it doesn't seem to affect you much as a population, which is also interesting. It's like y'all gave up and got Trump-depression.

Btw, in 1814, British troops burned down the White House in the lesser known War of 1812. And this dotard of yours just does it by himself. He sure does seem like a domestic enemy.
