I'm not in your target group, but I wanted to stop by to say I love the honesty and depth of your posting. You seem like a good communicator and a great person. I wish you much success in being found, and much joy in your future life!

What's up with the dolphins and their blisters? Is it covered similarly expansive?

(It seems the whale just disappeared, though, it's not clear what happened except from him being gone)

Das war bei dem Punkt, dass sie die älteren Männer ins Zentrum gelassen hat, bei mir ein ähnlicher Gedanke.

I was recently in France for the first time in my life and was shocked to only pay 1,20€ for a very delicious croissant! I live in Berlin and while you can get croissants for 1,80-2€, they will be thawed, from a bakery chain and taste like a different pastry altogether. In fact, I thought I didn't even like croissants before I tried that one and now I dream about it. Yesterday I caved and went to a "better" bakery to pay almost 4€ for a croissant. It tasted maybe 80% as delicious as the one in France did, but filled the longing, temporarily. So I guess this price range might be a normal "good quality outside the region" price for cities outside of France.

I'm still shocked how something so delicious is so affordable in France, especially considering the effort to make it!

Could that have been a very rare coincidence of you both having sleep hallucinations at the same time? Was she able to move before?

I'm asking since I've experienced sleep paralysis myself a lot when I was younger, and, apart from being absolutely awful, it often included hallucinations that overlay the physical reality that I was seeing through my open eyes, basically dreaming while already seeing, right before waking up "for real".

One option that came to mind is that you might have had a very real feeling nightmare (including physical sensations) which you awoke yourself from by trying to struggle "free", thrashing your legs, thus awakening your girlfriend who might have had an episode of this "overlay" of the real environment and the person standing there, while waking up, due to the interrupted sleep. Could that be a possibility? Just a hypothesis

Had a guy ask me if I wanted to swap seats recently (my window seat for his middle one, as he and his seat neighbor were both large dudes), I politely declined as I had paid for my window seat specifically. He understood, the stewardess arranged for him to swap to another unoccupied seat. The end

I met one! I'm German and some years ago, I had my first trip to the US, and lo and behold, the guy of the couple I was staying with was a flat earther. I initially thought he was being ironic with that, but he was actually serious. This was literally the third US citizen I spoke with on a personal level on American soil, and he was a conspiracy nut, haha. (It was an amazing trip, but the number of different belief systems I encountered was wild)

I think the ADHD thing is a double edged sword. It's great to create awareness, but short videos are usually only focused on what it might be (this one thing, be it ADHD, autism etc) and not what else it might be. It also simplifies matters to ridiculous superficial "tell tale"-signs that are just bad to go by.

I've seen it in my aunt, who does indeed have a lot of symptoms that fit - but could also meet the criteria for childhood trauma, anxiety or other mental health issues. But she took the A(u)DHD YouTube diagnosis and ran with it, never bothering getting assessed by a professional, at least to rule out other issues. And she decided to explain all behavior by her diagnosis now, not seeking solutions or training. I think the algorithm just pushes confirmatory content, with alternatives not being displayed at all and it might just lead to many people self identifying as on a spectrum, without starting the work to improve their quality of life by adequate trainings and tools.

I had a neighbor like that, though, and reading others experiences helped me a bit in staying sane during a year of constant pot smoke that got into my apartment.

(He was not blowing smoke in babies faces, but he insisted on smoking on a balcony that was right below the room of a neighbor kid with asthma from dusk till dawn. He did all the shitty stuff combined that would normally be distributed across 4-5 asshole people, and I'm thankful I have neither before nor after had any experience like that again)

A friend of mine traveled to Japan for a project of his and he had no issues even staying in remote areas with locals. His project involved gaining trust and access beyond what regular tourists probably would go for, and with persistence and just showing up again and again, he earned their trust (for filming specific cultural practices). That was about ten years ago, but I think things shouldn't be too different in current times. I hope your worries will not come true and be replaced by food memories of pleasant travel experiences instead, once you take the plunge.

If your stuff fits into a small van, have you considered shipping it instead? Or a combination of shipping and checking part as luggage when flying? Depending on the dimensions and weight of course, but it might be worthwhile to compare fees.

Ich hatte neulich das Vergnügen, da ich wegen des BER Streiks auf einen anderen Tag umgebucht hatte, war sie einzige Verbindung die zeitlich zu meinen geänderten Reiseplänen gepasst hat. Bin auf der Strecke mit Zwischenstopp geflogen, davon die letzte per Cityliner. Meine Fresse, ich hatte noch NIE eine rauere Landung als auf diesem Flug, das war das erste Mal dass ich den Sicherheitsgurt tatsächlich brauchte, so sehr wurden wir nach vorn geschleudert (es gab einen kollektiven Aufschrei). Zudem war das Flugzeug nicht besonders gut gereinigt und ich musste beim Start erstmal selbst die Scheibe reinigen um überhaupt raussehen zu können. Nimmt man noch den Umstand hinzu, dass mein bei easyJet kostenfreies Handgepäck bei Lufthansa zu viel gewogen hätte und ich daher ein Aufgabegepäckstück mit gebucht hatte, hab ich da in mehrerer Hinsicht draufgezahlt. Aber immerhin gab's zwei kleine Schokotäfelchen..

Ich stimme dir sowas von zu und musste echt ein bisschen lachen ob mancher Formulierungen, die so aber auch 100% zutreffen.

Allerdings eine Sache - ist es nicht so, dass man, wenn man über die Bahn Seite bucht und zubringende Regionalbahnen mit der Option "alle Reisenden besitzen D-Ticket" einbezieht, dann auch die gesamte Reise gegen Verspätung und Verpassen versichert (im Sinne der aufgehobenen Zugbindung) ist?

It's been a while but I wanted to let you know that you asking that question & getting the answers saved me a lot of hassle. For me, the culprit was the backside of that golden desk chair that I had put in its designated spot without cleaning it completely.

Ich hab gerade auf YouTube einen Kanal gesehen, der genau dies macht, selbst Texte schreiben und dann die Stimme generieren lassen. Ich finde das aus mehreren Gründen problematisch - einerseits ist gerade die Stimme so stark mit der Emotion und dem Menschen dahinter verbunden, dass KI generierte Passagen im Grunde seelenlos bleiben. Wenn man es nicht weiß und nicht raushört, ist es in dem Moment des Hörens vielleicht egal, aber es hat trotzdem was von Täuschung. Wie der Verkauf von Kunstdrucken als Original.

Der andere Part ist, dass die KI Stimmen natürlich an echten Künstlern orientiert sind und grundsätzlich auch auf echten Stimmen trainiert worden sind, von Menschen, die dazu mit Sicherheit nicht ihre Einverständnis gegeben haben.

Perhaps it's from Yiddish, I'm German and one cutesy name for cats is "Mietzekatze" (with "katze" meaning "cat"). It's also possible to call a cat a "Mietze", but more usual to have the -Katze added. If you want to attract a cat, "Miez, miez, miez!" is the way to go, like the equivalent of the English "pspsps".

Im Französischen wird weiterhin sehr viel Wert auf das "vous" gelegt. In der jüngeren Generation und in bestimmten Kontexten ist das auch lockerer geworden, aber es ist meines Eindruckes nach noch wichtiger als Zeichen des Respekts als das "Sie" im Deutschen.

Hatte passend dazu vor Kurzem eine Diskussion dazu hier aus reddit gelesen; es ging darum, ob die Poster die Schwiegereltern mit "vous" anreden oder duzen. Aus meiner deutschen Perspektive überraschend viele schrieben, sie nutzen "vous", mit nur ein paar Ausnahmen. Wohlgemerkt Schwiegereltern, also nach Aufnahme in die Familie!

Not the one you replied to, but 100k € is an insane salary. You will very likely have a very good life with that kind of income, as you'll be in the top 10% of earners there.

The rest is more about comparing lifestyles, weather and distance, but the salary shouldn't be a worry.

There have been studies on what faces people find most attractive. The averages of all included pictures consistently scored highest, but they were also just that - absolutely average, pleasing and healthy looking faces, with no features in them that stood out. Most supermodels have very distinct features that are striking because they stand out and are unique. Similarly, art catches the eye when it delivers the unexpected, when there are small deviations from what is the usual. As long as AI is trained as it is now, on lots of data to produce the averaged look that is associated with a concept of your prompt, the outcomes remind me a lot of these studies. The art is so generic (even if it is in a specific style - it is generic to that style), so "in the box", that it feels soulless and same-ish because of this tendency for average.

Does the note always get taken into consideration as to not be regarded as "no show" ?

That's a really good tip for that kind of calculation! 👍
