- Comment on The way my fuck-ass pharmacist makes up the remaining pills in my bastarding prescription 4 hours ago:
Here we usually do too, unless the doctor prescribes a weird number for some reason.
- Comment on Evidence 11 hours ago:
The rest believe it too, but their papers are deliberately written in such a way that journalists can misinterpret them.
- Comment on Should I get the Measles and/or Mpox vaccines if I had them as a child? 22 hours ago:
The annoying thing is, I was born in 1967 and never had the measles, and according to STIKO I don’t need to be vaccinated, so the insurance won’t pay.
- Comment on The labeling on OTC pain relievers, etc. This is why I just pop 3 and hope for the best. 4 days ago:
Please note that the maximum dose of paracetamol/acetominophen is 4 (4 x 1000mg) a day. You don’t want to take any more, because dying from that stuff isn’t pleasant and easily done.
- Comment on What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA? 4 days ago:
Nope. Some political parties use it as neoliberal but ordinary people don’t.
- Comment on Why do US airports have a lot more jet bridges than EU airports? 4 days ago:
Yup. All stores and public buildings must be accessible.
- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 4 days ago:
You just made exactly point.
- Comment on Should leftists who are anti-authoritarian use the term "comrade"? 6 days ago:
Clueless idiot.
- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 1 week ago:
Professors used to be paid the same as surgeons. Surgeon salaries kept up with inflation, professor salaries did not.
- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 1 week ago:
Only it’s the same in many other countries.
- Comment on How often do you change your towels? 1 week ago:
What a waste of water and energy.
- Comment on Why do US airports have a lot more jet bridges than EU airports? 1 week ago:
“Europe” has different laws in different countries. The UK is incredibly keen on accessibility, but Germany is ablist as hell, for instance.
- Comment on What is the moral jurisdiction behind not wishing who're rich and in executive positions to die? 2 weeks ago:
That would be great, of course, but history tells us they either get away with it and die (sometimes) peacefully in their sleep or they’re killed by a mob.
I like the way Stalin went. “Oh no, he fell down, call a doctor.” Doctors (who had been relentlessly persecuted): “We’re not treating him, bugger off.” Stalin’s cronies: “Whelp, we’ll just put him to bed and see what happens.”
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 2 weeks ago:
I hate celery as a vegetable, I like it in mirepoix as a flavour.
- Comment on at what point in life it's too late to go back to school? 2 weeks ago:
Menopause and severe brain fog would like a word.
- Comment on The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" *while I was watching it* 2 weeks ago:
Yarrr. Mind you, the Germans are good at sniffing out archives and torrents.
- Comment on I'm definitely 1 lol. 2 weeks ago:
Where’s the tweed blazer brigade?
- Comment on The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" *while I was watching it* 2 weeks ago:
One of the German channels makes you pay for random episodes. So you’ll be able to watch episode 3, 9 and 11 in a season but you have to pay for the rest.
- Comment on Someday, someone will invent something that can ‘envelope’ small flat items so they can be shipped more efficiently. Until that day … 2 weeks ago:
Germany has the same problem. I just met a lady who’d had to drive an hour out of the way to find a charging station she could use. Then it turned out one was broken and the other one was in use by my brother in law. Luckily he’d just finished.
- Comment on ELI5 why I logically understand McDonald's food is low quality and bad for me but I crave it like crack? 3 weeks ago:
It’s amazing how you can eat 12 chicken nuggets with large fries and still feel like you haven’t eaten anything.
- Comment on Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon 3 weeks ago:
It used to work. When something no longer sold, manufacturers would diversify. Now they force you to still buy the same product with the help of politicians and bribes.
- Comment on why is fossil fuel still used? 3 weeks ago:
Hahahahahahahahahaha!
- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 3 weeks ago:
The local codes are FR, MüL and Lö. This guy’s licence plate was FR HH and then the number.
I’d assumed y’all would be smart enough to figure out I didn’t mean the first two letters but I suppose I was wrong.
- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 3 weeks ago:
Nope. I mean, yes, it is, but the one I saw yesterday had a Freiburg code (FR) and then HH.
- Comment on If WW3 breaks out, who is going to be on which side? 3 weeks ago:
No, the US will not be on the side of Europe.
- Comment on If WW3 breaks out, who is going to be on which side? 3 weeks ago:
The US will be bankrolling Russia. Russia is weak and poor. The only reason they’re still in Ukraine is China. And once they’ve conquered that, the US will happily help them invade the rest of Europe.
- Comment on If WW3 breaks out, who is going to be on which side? 3 weeks ago:
Nope. America, Russia, China and Russia will divide the world amongst them.
- Comment on Countries/Cities without Walmart's/Giant super centers 3 weeks ago:
European motorways are a nightmare. It might not look that far on the map, but I’d rather drive from Boston to Brooklin ME on the i95 than from Karlsruhe to Freiburg on the A5.
- Comment on Countries/Cities without Walmart's/Giant super centers 3 weeks ago:
Not in Baden-Württemberg. You’d have to go to France.
- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 3 weeks ago:
The top right picture needs “HH” added to it. It’s what people use on license plates. Used to be banned in Germany, but I saw one yesterday so I think My Little Nazi has unbanned it.
