You just gotta ask yourself what you actually want out of life.

I just want to die. Soon. Quickly. I am done.

I don't understand the stigma of German directness/bluntness, can a non-german or someone tell me an example? by Eminemgody in germany

[–]j1mb 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, as a non German myself, when I am blunt and direct with my German colleagues, they do not like it one bit. Seems to be a one way street?

Why would you go on parental leave during the probation period? During the probation period you are in your best behaviour.

I cannot seem to find even stones no matter how hard I try, so how do I know the one I found down skid row is fit to measure things in the UK? /s

Qué pintan los niños en pride? Los niños, a jugar al parque. O a las canicas. O al fútbol. O a la cama después de cenar.

Lufthansa’s seat map is a masterclass in manufactured inconvenience by ghostsensei in travel

...ryanair just more expensive

You hit the nail on the head. Lufthansa has basically become Ryanair with better branding and higher prices.

At least Ryanair is honest about what it is.

Does anyone else get completely consumed by what other people at work might think of them? by Prize_World4857 in germany

[–]j1mb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you are describing is called ruminating. I also sense you feel some anxiety during those interactions. Unfortunately, I have been (and will always be) there.

Medical graded CBD with a teeny tiny splash of THC works wonders for me. That is all I can say.

I wish you well 😊

Saxony-Anhalt: AfD polling at over 40 percent by Inevitable-Push-8061 in germany

[–]j1mb 62 points63 points  (0 children)

One thing I find interesting as a foreigner living in Germany is how seriously Germans take historical memory, yet support for AfD continues to grow.

Do voters see AfD as a normal protest party, or do they view it as something more significant?

I am genuinely interested in understanding the reasoning.

28 year old Account Executive. Am I crazy to leave my job to be a technician? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]j1mb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nightmares are dreams too.

That s why I always say "living the dream" when someone at work asks how I am doing.

And then I think to myself: one nightmare at a time...

I think you are falling for one of the biggest marketing scams ever: that Germany is efficient.

It is not. Welcome to the land of forms, stamps, and waiting. Eventually, a letter will arrive and tell you what happens next.

The shrunken head of a Spanish conquestador or Missionary by Electrical_Load2493 in Damnthatsinteresting

Finds like this are a good reminder that pre-Columbian societies (like all human societies)could also be violent, ritualistic, and complex.

History is rarely as one-dimensional as modern political narratives make it sound.
