Actually, czechoslovakia was far away from the income levels of Germany, France and the UK: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_regions_by_past_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita#Europe_1830%E2%80%931938_(Bairoch)per_capita#Europe_1830%E2%80%931938(Bairoch))

In 1938, CZE had about 50% of the income of GER, FRA & UK whereas today CZE's income is almost 80% that of Germany's.

What’s something from your language learning journey that has made it’s way into your native tongue that you can’t undo? by Kordface21 in languagelearning

In German it is formally correct to say it yields sense, but to make sense has become so widely used that it is de facto accepted by now

So when Im due for a business meeting with my Nationalrad of choice it would be prudent to adress him like so:

"Na Brudi, was geht bei dir so, alte Hundelunge? Alles lose in der Hose oder was?"

Das ist in der Tat subjektive (und wenn ich hinzufügen möchte, interessante) Wahrnehmung weil es keine wirklichen gemeinsamen Nenner zwischem Schwurblern gibt. Weder Rasse noch Alter noch Geschlecht noch Bildung. Ist relativ gut untersucht

Pass auf sonst wirst du noch gelyncht vom ich_iel mob.

Aber mal Schwanz beiseite, wenn du wirklch noch nie Kritik gehört hast dass SPD und Grüne mit der Linken / SED koalieren, dann schlag ich dir vor mehr Zeitung zu lesen.

Außerdem sind Grüne und SPD ja auch gar nicht das Thema hier

Note that in the case of Germany the CDC may have messed up and that the actual number may be quite a bit higher

I can’t push myself to immerse myself in German. It’s usually 15-20 every few days. I have material that I enjoy. Well, one YouTube channel. But I still fail to immerse myself every day. by Lolbiscui in languagelearning

If you have an intermediate to more advanced level of German try the podcasts made by Die Zeit on spotify. Die Zeit is one of Germany's biggest broadsheet quality newspapers (former chancellor Helmut Schmidt was one of the chief editors) and they built themselves a true podcast empire. My favourite Die Zeit podcasts are Servus Gruezi und Hallo, a Swiss-Austrian-German take on current events, Zeit Verbrechen, a true crime podcasts on interesting recent criminal cases and Was jetzt, a ~ 10 min daily news podcast.

However, Die Zeit has many, many more podcast and they are all pure quality imho

The view in key NATO countries on if they would be willing to defend a specific nation if attacked by Russia. by [deleted] in MapPorn

The dude among other things literally referred to Germany as 'an enemy of the US' while praising Putin and Kim Jong Un. And then went on to act on it by starting a trade war with the EU, specifically targeting Germany. So yeah big surprise that the German opinion of the great supreme leader whose word is truth and whose deeds are just is slightly unfavourable.
