Those things are ADHD honeypots. I have never experienced something that is so close to hard drugs before.

Stop lifting weights. Your childhood injury will flare up and ruin your life for a couple years.

I study mechatronics in Germany and I don’t avoid it. I have yet to meet a single person who is avoiding it. I have made tremendous progress learning with it. But that is mostly the case because my professors refuse to give solutions for the seminars. Learning is probably the only real advantage that I have seen yet. If you don’t use it for cheating or shorcuts, which is of course a huge problem. But getting answers to problems, getting to ask specific follow up questions and most of all researching and getting to the right information faster (through external links from AI) has made studying much more efficient and enjoyable for me.

I don’t like the impact on society AI is having bur personally it has really helped me so far. (discounting the looming bubble crises and the market effect it is having on memory f.e.)

I think it’s an interesting fantasy to entertain. But you have to be careful not to use it to compensate for feeling like a bad parent when you fail at more mundane but real ways to care for you kids. I only say this because anyone I have ever heard say this more than once, gave me the impression to be compensating for something. Because they were not really in the best of life circumstances with their family. I include my own parents in this, who often madw hypotheticals like this, but were and are never there for me when I actually need them. So I try not to boast about hypotheticals with my own kid.

But you do raise an interesting point with the abandonment of pets.

I would 100%. But I will add my opinion to this statement.

Taking a bullet ist such an extremely rare circumstance (especially if you live in a safe country) it will never ever happen in my life. It’s just a cheap statement to make yourself feel good. And I despise it when parents say it who I don’t feel make a good effort to support their kids in day to day life. Your kid does not benefit from a hypothetical life sacrifice. It benefits from your daily support, work and effort as a parent every day though.

This seems very specific to the USA.

What bread are you eating? Another example I can’t relate to at all. I usually bake my own bread, sometimes I buy. Never had sugar in it. Maybe you were looking at Brioche or something? I consider that more of a sweet like cake or muffins.

As a city dweller I never seen this happen in Germany ever in my life. So not too common at least.

This is probably the best and most noticable thing our Government has ever done. Also one of the very few thing hat helps out young people (but not them in particular).

It is not possible at all. No one familiar with German law and culture think this. This is not a talking point I have ever heard discussed seriously. There ist probably hundreds of reasons why it could never happen. Our legal framework ist very strong and we have a strong civil framework of resistance in case something goes in that direction.

Came here to say this Same Upvoted Bro just made a good post Only right answer Underrated post

It’s not beer btw. Looks like mio mate

Crying in german. Multiple friends of mine who live in city centers of huge cities still have 16Mbit connections.

Study liberal arts for free while getting bafög or a side job to pay for your living costs. I think that’s more what the post is about. And there are also tons of grants.

Yeah laws or very specialized tools/Maschines can get crazy, but I think our lawmakers are also trolling sometimes with the long titles.

The most german thing is to read that no problem at the first try. But our language is cheating with the combining words thing.

Thank you. That explains so much. I hear this “towing stuff” reason so often and I could never figure put what huge things people think they need to tow that isn’t possible with a normal car.

Yes they do

Have americans never heard of a trailer? It’s made for that exact use case and you don’t have to lug it around for years for the one time you need to use it. They are also super cheap to rent.

Terrible headline.
