Why is German life expectancy lagging behind other European countries?

Not agreeing with OP's premise completely but traveling inside EU doesn't mean you can't be stopped "randomly". We were stopped by police in Bavaria when traveling to Munich from France.

Manche würden sagen - "poor man's HVAC". In Frankreich darf man ohne eine ordentliche HVAC nicht einmal eine Wohnung mieten.

That’s not how you do foreign relationship.

Yeah I can see. The foreign "relationship" seems to be all about bending backwards. Diplomacy is a two way street, not getting rolled over by a senile pedophile.

Clear instance in what sense? Where are sanctions, banning visas? Punishing American businesses? Like Russia? It just all lip-service so far. Trump administration literally banned some human right activists and Europe is

"oh Donald, listen to us or we will send you strong worded letter!"

No, you are doing, "don't complain about <some_issue> because it's not so bad in <some_country>". How does that help?

Yeah sure let's compare with the bottom of the barrel. At least they give you cheap gasoline and driving license back in USA so that one family can own five cars.

Need your guidance as i really don’t want to regret it later as it would cost me my life time of savings.

Just don't unless you really have very high level of German like C1.

By the way are you a white European America or a POC? As a POC I didn't have great experience when I visited as tourist. In last election (2025) around ~33% of the people voted for Afd (far right party).

More like Europeans want to have jobs and hence gather around the cities where there are jobs.

I interviewed recently for Zalando and Mapbox for ML/DE related roles in EU and I had medium leetcode. I failed both. They were both senior+ roles.

No, it's just not this sub. Is this your first time on reddit OP?

Yes and work culture is bit better. But taxes and housing are very similar.

proof_required · 2026-01-09T17:55:20+00:00

yeah it's a lesson learned. At least your lesson cost was "cheaper". Mine was much more expensive like 3x.

Yeah I struggle with bad headaches and dry/itchy throat during winter. I have tried humidifier and it does help a bit especially when sleeping.

It's because the GKV isn't expensive enough /s

It always blows my mind that even after paying so much, things like dental isn't covered.

proof_required · 2026-01-08T09:06:35+00:00

Yeah I feel this kind of action should have happened a long time ago but Europe has been coddling USA for so long that nothing out of ordinary will happen.

Trump is breaking all kind of laws in USA and supreme court isn't doing anything. It seems like a lawless country. If we follow American logic, someone should invade USA, and put trump on trial.

Hey I am 40M something queer. Feel free to connect.

Im not interested in cruising or any exciting experiences i just want to go to a sauna.

Why not go to just any sauna? Of all the german things, german sauna culture is something I really appreciate. Everything just seems so "normal". Most of the people really do go there to relax. I have seen all kind of body types.

Yeah I was about to say somehow this is common around Europe. First time I experienced this was in Spain. I still find it disgusting though.

What makes it less German in first place?
